    First off, thanks to all who replied to my other questions.

    I recently purchased a Vaio SZ with one stick of 512 memory. I also bought this from newegg.com: mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Notebook Memory

    im pretty sure it is, but was wondering if the memory sticks that i purchased will be compatable with the vaio.

    Thanks!

    Yes, it should be. Be sure to run Memtest when you install the RAM.

    and a Memtest?
    Is that just to verify that the RAM is perfectly compatable? do you mind giving me a link to a program?
