    I have a HP pavilion zv6000 with 2 x 512 Mb RAM memory and I want to replace only one of the 512Mb RAM modules with a new 1 or 2 Gb module. I am not sure what type is my RAM and what types would work for me. :confused:

    Could any 1 help me determining the type, model etc.? ( I don't know which to buy) Is it a DIMM or SO-Dimm? DDR1 SDRAM? what else should I know? :)

    You could check by going to www.crucial.com and let it scan your pc and it will tell you the exact ram you have and need.
