Upgrading laptop memory?

The_One · 4 Jun 2006 at 17:01

I recently brought a Toshibal Satelite Pro A100 Laptop.

It currently has 1 stick of 512mb DDRII Ram 533mhz which cpuz quotes as being Samsung

I want to stick another 512mb stick in.

Willl this be ok?

KINGMAX 512 MB DDR2-533 PC4200 Laptop Memory - £35.25

Should work if a 200 Pin DDR2 SoDimm Module. Although most sites that sell laptop memory should have like a memory selctor to help you pick RAM for your particular laptop.

Go for it if there's no problem returning it if not working/compatible

Though, I don't think notebook RAM has many compatability issues like desktop stuff e.g single or double sided, ECC, etc :cool:
