    I just bought a 2GB ram from buy.com
    http://www.buy.com/prod/Kingston-2G...n-SODIMM-DDR2-Laptop/q/loc/101/206341199.html

    Kingston 2GB Single Module PC2-5300 667MHZ 200-Pin SODIMM DDR2 Laptop Memory - KVR667D2SO/2GR


    But after I bought it I saw that lenovo specifies the following RAM
    http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/...F223E104135B445F3A1A8CE1F31&model-number=8932

    This looks different from what I bought. Its split from middle while kingston is split on the side. Do you think this will work. I thought any 2GB-PC2-5300-667MHZ-200-Pin-SODIMM-DDR2 would work ?

    Should I cancel the order now ? Where did you guys bought it from ?

    Most likely one of the websites just posted a picture of a stick of RAM without caring whether or not its representation was accurate in regards to the real thing. What you ordered should work.

    I just put 2 x 1GB Kingston SDRAM on my R61. I bought those RAMs from Buy.com. It works perfectly. So, don't worry about it. The LENOVO picture is misleading.
