    Hi all,

    I have a Dell I9400 with 1GB (2 * 512 MB 667 Mhz).
    My friend has an IBM / Lenovo laptop with 2* 256 MB memory chips.
    I want to upgrade my memory to 2Gb.

    Is it possible that my memory would work in his laptop?

    Here is the memory recommended by Crucial for my laptop:
    http://www.crucial.com/ Dell Inspiron 9400

    but I don't know what all the details mean...

    How could we find that out?

    thanks for your help

    Chances are it will work if his laptop also supports DDR2-667.
