    Will this RAM be supported by the m1530?

    Yes, but note that only around 3.2GB of it will be utilized if you don't have a 64bit OS. Also, you don't really need to get 800Mhz memory as it will just downclock to 667, so you could probably save a little money there.

    Seriously, don't bother with that crap.

    You can find 2x2GB of name brand 667 memory on Newegg for less than $100.

    Perfect. I'm using that in my laptop right now as I post this. I upgraded from 1GB to 2GB and I was very shocked at how much of a difference it made - Vista went from being sluggish to blazing fast.

    And 3.5GB of it shows, too.
