    I new to upgrading notebooks, and im not sure how to figure out if a stick of RAM is comptable with your notebook.

    The W3v comes with 512 MBx1 im assuming there is another slot, and I want to buy a 1GB stick so I won't have to worry about RAM issues.

    So basically, I am a newbie when it comes to RAM types.

    I can guarentee you Corsair's 512mb and 1gb ddr2 533 sticks work very well.

    Corsair would work, as Justin guarantees.

    Also Kingston would work just fine as well. I'm using it now in W5A without a problem.

    Corsair is little more expensive but it's worth it since you are paying for the premium name value.

    Kingston is less but also as good as Corsair for sure.

    That's what I have in my W5A and but it slightly cheaper with 2 day free shipping.

    It was through another reputable vendor.

    The RAM is good and gives me no problem at all. Quick installation and booted right away.

    I was happy to see that W5A is not limited to 768MB.
