  you can try using the 'scan my system' tool from this website to find out how much ram you can support. When buying ram, you can go to sim lim to find out the best prices to get. kingston ones will be good since they have life time warranty.

  I looked up my user guide and this is what it says.

  "Up to 2GB of DR2 533/567 Mhz memory, upgradeable to 4 GB using two soDIMM modules ( dual channel support)"

   

  What does it means ?

  Thanks for the help

  think should be that each slot can support up to 2GB memory module of DDR2-533/DDR2-667. the motherboard of ur laptop can support up to 4GB by inserting two 2GB module in each slot.

  if ur mobo isnt dual channel then u can.

  if its like mine, where i have 4 slots, must fill 2 slots at a time, each with exactly the same memory, (e.g. 2X512MB and 2X1GB to make total of 3gb ram)

  if u dun have dual channel, u can insert for example 2gb stick + 512mb stick to make 2.5gb ram
