    The maximum memory a 700M can take (according to Dell) is 2GB. Since there are two slots in the machine, I'm guessing this means that each slot can take a maximum of 1GB (Though if you have an extra stick of 2GB DDR lying around, it never hurts to try - I'd imagine those are pretty pricey at this time, though). That being said, any speed of DDR memory, up to 1GB in size, should definitely work in the 700M.
