    This is what im looking at for my dv9500t

    http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=25864416A5CA7304

    But it says "Desktop/PC" and "Memory Upgrade for the Apple iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Extreme (24-inch)" But this is exactly what HP says I need. It looks like notebook RAM, but it says Desktop. PLease Help, i dont wanna buy the wrong thing... anyone find a cheaper price? More affordable to buy two single sticks? please attach link if found.

    Thanks for all help in advance :) :)

    Will this work? http://www.directron.com/ct2k25664ac667.html

    as long as its compatible in other areas, the pin count indicates it is, in fact, NB ram

    oh also, i think youll find better prices at newegg or zipzoomfly

    Ok, but will this exact module work?

    Edit: this is what it says: DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64 4GB kit (2GBx2), 200-pin SODIMM, DDR2 PC2-5300

    well, it's up to you to determine if "DDR2 PC2-5300" works with your computer.
