oh and befor someone sugest taking it to a shop the idiot pc repair shop my me is a moron who knows nothing, asked him once for a sata cable to conect hard drive to board and he hadn't a clue what i was on about

your other memory you had is pobably ddr400 and not ddr2.just make sure man.search item codes on google

thank mate , but it is ddr2 as i bought the upgrage myself thats how I know this cant be ddr2 thats in the new one,

to be honest im just looking into it at the moment as the old laptop was xp and had half gig of ram I got the extra gig for it and it made no differance what so ever, this one is win7 home prem with one gig, it runs really well no probs, knowing my luck it wont make a difference again and be wasting the money

The information wasn't accurate on my bro's pre-built PC a while back. Best to double check.

@ sisfreak results orca..Memory Type :DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) 200-PIN SODIMM ... cupz... ddr3 399.0MHz

now thats what I call a difference

I have a feeling im the wone thats wrong this memory stick i got might not of been ddr2 thats why it dont fit and cpz is giving a false reading adding to the confusion

now im hoping it is ddr2 as the price diference is stupid where i am,

now this is getting silly, just ran a program called specy.. it says its ddr3 @ 398Mhz
