thanks
You don't need to buy overlocker RAM. Because there are no RAM settings in the BIOS. It would be useless.
I would use RAM from CRUCIAL

They works fine and there are no compatibility problems.
What is imporant when buying memory is that you buy compatible memory modules. Compatibiliy is not a matter of this brand or that, but of the technical specfications of the memory and the form factor of the module.
Your unit requires DDR2 533MHz memory on modules that are made specifically for notebooks - its much more useful if it physically fits the socket ;-]
DDR2 400MHz is cheaper and compatible with your notebook's chipset.

sould i get 2X 512 and get rid of the sony one or should i just buy 1
humm i don't know if i will use 2GB i use 1GB in my main computer.
do laptops use the RAM more as it has a slow hard drive?

i think my laptop has dual channel (ram) how much faster should it make it say if its 1gb or 2X 512mb will i see any difference?
and i make web sites and admin stuff on it so night butnot too hight i'v been over the 1GB but then it just uses hard drive space as ram as this does't happen much i think i'll stick to 1GB unless it a good price and if i won't see much speed differentce running in dual mode.
The dual channel technology doubles the bandwidth of the RAM.
533MHz * 2 = 1066MHz
But the problem is that the FSB of your CPU is only 533MHz. That's why dual channel isn't much efficient in a Centrino laptop. You would need a CPU like the Pentium Extreme Edition to get the full speed.
so really the dual channel on this laptop is usless lol
ok thanks :smileygrin:
