    I'm trying to help a friend put some more ram in their travelmate 5320 and wanted to make sure I bought the correct type. I was hoping to just put a 2gb stick in, but most of what I'm seeing online is telling me there's a max of 2gb (2 x 1gb) ram. Is this just the maximum that acer configures the laptop with, will it accept a 2gb stick?

    I figure what I need is
    2 x 1 gb
    DDR2 PC2-5300
    533 mHz
    200-pin SODIMM

    Could anybody confirm this? Thanks!

    The one I found came with 1X1GB so buying another 1X1GB will give you 2GB's. Will it support 2GB SODIMM? I don't know it appears from others here it will. The chipset I believe is the GL960 and officially it only supports 2GB total. 2X1GB would have a little higher bandwidth than 1X2GB.

    I believe that that model will support 2 X 1g. The specs that you have posted sound about right.
