    I woulden't want to sound like a complete noob, I wanted to buy an extra 1GB stick for my notebook, its a Satellite A100-237 which is a europian model found in this page :

    http://za.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=114275#0

    Im not 100% sure how many pinns should it take, I found two kinds which I dont remember honestly but it was like 157pinn and 200pinn or something. Im afraid of buying the wrong ram, So I thought I should ask.

    Also they're kinda pricey, so if you could please link me to a good deal in newegg, amazon, I'd be grateful.

    Your laptop takes DDR2 PC4200 (533Mhz) DDR2 RAM. It uses 200 pin DIMM's.

    Hi from Spain!

    I have a Toshiba Equium M50-216 and need to replace a faulty 512 mb memory module. This model has a Centrino processor and the chipset is Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS.910GML Express Chipset family, according to System Information.
    I have done a Crucial on-line scan which says I require DDR PC2700, DDR333 Ram.
    Having contacted another supplier they say that a 533 1GB DDR2 module is compatible, so that's what they sent me!
    Are they right? I want to know before I unpack the box, so I can return it if it's wrong.
    Thanks.
    Roger

    First, don't bring back threads from over a year ago.

    And no. That is wrong. Your laptop will not work with DDR2 RAM.

    I just searched the forum for RAM questions.
    Thanks for your answer though.
