    Hello,

    I have 1 GIG of ram in my Presario v5000. I wanted to upgrade to 2gig. I believe I have 2 sticks of 512mb at the moment.

    Does anyone know what brand will work for me? Preferably, 2 x 1 gig sticks I would like.

    I'm not sure what brands or speeds will work in this machine. It's relatively new.

    Thanks!

    You will want DDR2667. Almost any brand will work.

    I can't seem to see any of that ram on Futureshop.ca or bestbuy.ca website.. 2667.. only 2700 and up :\

    Here is some ram from Tigerdirect.ca would this work, or is the speed to fast?
