    I've got one Corsair stick, and one Kingston stick in my system. They've been working just fine for the past month. Newegg and Outpost.com are decent places to buy.

    Hold on a second. You said DDR2-533, correct? I just want to clarify. You can pick anything from this link and it should work. In my book, cheapest is best... but opinions differ on that... In the past, I've always bought Corsair Value Select, but G.Skill beats them by $12.

    If I were you, I would not purchase online, its best to buy in person. But hey, that's just my personal experience.

    You need PC2-4200 or PC2-5300; this is DDR2 RAM, not DDR. The two are not compatible with one another.

    PC2 - 4200 will fit ur notebook, above link looks good, but my advice is buy the RAM module in person - any non compatibility issues can be immediately sorted out without much fuss :) !
