    I would appreciate it if someone could direct me to a guide to upgrading notebook ram. I just want to browse ram prices and although I've upgraded ram before on my older desktop I'm not really sure what determines what kind of ram I would need.

    According to cpu-z I have:

    1024 mbytes
    DDR-SDRAM
    Dual channel
    frequency: 100.5 mhz

    or more specifically:
    (eg in slot #1)
    DDR2-SDRAM
    512 mbytes
    max bandwidth: pc5300 (333mhz)
