    Well I assume it has 2x 512MB RAM sticks in it now,, so to upgrade to 2GB you will need to purchase 2x 1GB sticks.

    go to Newegg.com

    they have an amazing selection of memory for about as cheap as you will find it.

    You will need 200-PIN DDR2 SDRAM PC-5300 (667MHz) Corsair is an excellent brand among others.

    I got a G-skill 1GB from new egg for $69.0. Runs flawlessly.

    Buy the right one, not the expensive one.

    For almost all laptops, they brand of RAM doesn't matter if it is reliable enough to work because of the lack of overclocking ability. Get something that works and stick with it!
