Mikhailtech has posted a Crucial 512mb PC2100 SODIMM review



So I decided it was time for the final upgrade. With a maximum capacity of 1024mb, I was going to turn my Dell into a real monster. This time Crucial decided to help out by sending over one of their 512mb SODIMMs, the largest capacity currently available for notebooks. Reason being? For starters, packing 512mb onto 8 chips (as opposed to the 16 found in regular DIMMs) means 64mb per module. That's not exactly cheap, hence the $200 price tag, about twice the price of a DIMM, most likely due to the double capacity per chip. And of course this would equate to a 1GB DIMM in terms of density, so you can get a good price estimate there.
