    DIMM means Dual Inline Memory Module. You have one of them, so you have one stick of RAM in your notebook. I'm assuming that that means there is likely one slot free. So yes, you should be able to put another gig in. You should try to get the same type of RAM as you currently have so that they are compatible.

    You need DDR2-667 (PC5300/PC2-5300, same thing), 200-pin So-DIMM RAM. Check the RAM DEALS thread.

    A RAM upgrade would be very beneficial seeing you have Vista.
