    Hi
    I have a toshiba satellite M105-s3031 with one stick of 512 MB RAM.
    I need to upgrade to 1GB by adding another 512 MB, in the free slot.
    Toshiba site lists a compatible RAM as PC2-4200 DDR2-533MHz. ( here)

    My questions:
    1. Is my RAM SO-DIMM ?
    2. Is any SO-DIMM module compatible with this spec?
    I am not sure if my current RAM is 200 Pin or not. The picture

    looks like a 200 Pin SO-DIMM but I am not sure.

    3. lastly, should I go thru New egg's memory configurator and choose the cheapest among the options that it recommends, or should I try and shop around.
    This is what I found for $20 incl shipping. Do you guys know if this is a good deal?

    Many, many thanks in advance. I hope you guys can help me out, I am at my wits end and I dont want to end up buying the wrong stuff.
