The recommended memory from crucial works cheaper when aria delivery is
taken into account for. Aria would work out cheaper if the 1300 could use a
single 2GB stick, but it needs the 2*1GB version. Crucial seem to be pretty
competitive for laptop ram at the moment, the only place I could find
cheaper sticks for my vostro was on ebay from the US.
