The other memory module is under the keyboard. You will have to remove the keyboard to access it.

Hi

Ive found some memory im looking to maybe purchase that is 1gb DDR2 667 (pc2 5300-5400) 64x8 low density and i no that in the laptop it is DDR2 533 PC4200 RAM would this make a difference please.

**TheMatt** · 01-02-2007, 03:53 PM

The DDR667 RAM would only run at DDR533 speeds, so it wouldn't make any difference at all. But if it happens to be cheaper than the DDR533 RAM, then go for it.

paul1968uk · 01-02-2007, 04:17 PM

Matt yes it was more cheaper than the 533 from other places

**TheMatt** · 01-03-2007, 11:29 AM

Then use that, you won't see any difference.

I upgraded my RAM to 2GB with no problem. Purchased the sticks from the following.
http://www.newegg.com:80/Product/Pro...82E16820134134

It's Kingston RAM and have had no problem thus far. Removing the keyboard is a piece of cake. I used the online service manual available here.

Best of luck!
