    OK i checked the RAM from crucial.. The difference is for the 667mhz modules PC5300

    The difference between this RAM and the Crucial RAM is as follows:

    Cas Latency 4 VS. Cas Latency 5(from Crucial)

    Density is different think its
    64X8 VS. 128 X 6(from Crucial)

    Everthing else is identical, now would these little differences effect compatibilty. Someone out there must know.......................

    I'm 99% sure the ram will work. I just upgraded my hp a couple weeks ago with ram that had slightly different specs than the stock ram but no problems. Generally ram that is marked as being useable for all notebooks works as long as the number of pins and DDR/DDR2 etc is compatible.
