    Will the dual-channel work?

    sorry, i don't know if i'm in the wrong section or whatever

    anyway I own a Travelmate 5735z which has a Penryn processor (pentium t4500) with a GM45 chipset. Currently, only a 2GB Kingston 1333Mhz stick is installed. I'd like to upgrade to 4GB, but i can't find an equivalent stick of RAM.

    here's a picture of the currently installed RAM stick:

    I'm going to buy a 2GB 1333Mhz Kingston ValueRam stick (which is the most similar stick i could find in the shop), but I noticed that the stick is different. also both of the sticks are 256MBx 64, 1333mhz and CL9. This is the stick:

    since the ram sticks are different, i'm afraid i would have only a single-channel.

    do you think it would work? should i buy a 4GB dualchannel kit?
