    Im trying to upgrade my w3j to have 2 gigs.
    Can anyone tell me what kind of ram I should buy and from where? I have no clue about laptop hardware :p
    All i know is that i should get a DDR2 with a 667 clock.. but nothing else

    And when I get the ram chip, Do i open the laptop myself and install it? Ive built many desktop rigs before but this is the first time for me to be using a lappy..

    Thanks in advance! A direct link would be really helpful

    I don't think it matters as long as its DDR2 667 clock.. just know that the RAM for laptops has less pins and is much smaller than desktop rams..

    this is what I got

    and Yes you can open the laptop yourslef and instlal it.. its under the biggest panel on the bottom of the laptop.. you have to open about 8 or 9 screws and you can't miss it. When your putting it in, do one corner at a time instead of the whole stick at the same time.
