    it should be able to take 2 sticks of 1 GB each as the largest capacity.

    i'm not sure why/what crucial means. can you maybe cut and paste the language you're talking about ?

    Here is the ram that I got for my V4000t. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231042
    I got two sticks of them and they work great. They were easy to install too.

    If you are not going to play games you only need one 1GB stick otherwise get two. I play BF2 and Halo and I can really see a performance increase.
