Hey all

I'm trying to upgrade the ram on my dad laptop which is a HP Pavillion DV5000, anyways the other day i ordered some Crucial ram from overclockers, more precisely these

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-112-CR&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=936&name=Crucial%202GB%20(2x1GB)%20DDR2%20PC2-5300C5%20200-Pin%20SODIMM%20Dual%20Channel%20Kit%20(CT2KIT12864AC667)

Anyways upon recieving the ram today, the RAM is ever so slightly wider than the original ram, maybe 1mm and due to this it will not match up with the slots. Anyone else had this problem? if so how did u solve it, or is it a different type of ram i need? tho i'm pretty sure this is the correct ram.

Many thx in advance

Stu
