    Yes, your notebook should support the memory you have stated. The notebook can support up to 2 GB of RAM, and it is almost certain that it supports 667 MHz, as almost all Core Duo/Core 2 Duo notebooks do.

    To see if your memory is running at 667 MHz, download CPU-Z or Everest. They will give you the information about the memory and alot of other things. Theres no need to do this, if you've bought 667 MHz. It is almost certaint that the memory will be 667 MHz, but if you want to check, thats not a problem.
