    The ram which will work in your system is ddr2 laptop sodimm memory. You are looking for PC4200 memory, but if you find a better deal on PC5300 memory , than it will downclock to the 533mhz that PC4200 runs at.
    Your laptop has a maximum memory capacity of 4Gb, so you can buy 2 2Gb memory cards, or you could just buy one 2Gb card and upgrade later on down the road.

    I presume newegg does not ship to australia, so your best bet is to do a google products search, and find a store which ships to australia.

    You could put in any 667Mhz DDR2 SODIMM modules you find. It will be about 20-40€ (33-67AUS) /stick depending on the make.

    Both stick should be the same type and make for best results.
