    Google says your laptop supports up to 2GB of DDR2 memory. If you currently have a single 1GB stick, all you need is a second. If you currently have two 512MB sticks, you will need to replace both to get 2GB. Assuming, of course, you have two memory slots in your machine.

    PC4200/4300 200pin SO-DIMM

    That runs @533Mhz if you found PC5300 @667Mhz for less it would work and would downclock to 533Mhz.

    Brand not important. NewEgg is a good place to order from just make sure to get lifetime warranty.
