CAPTAIN SLINKY SLINKALERT GOING OUT TO ALL ACTIVE SLINKATEERS

HELP! I want to upgrade my brother's memory on The Dell Laptop You See Listed At This Link, but I have no idea which one to buy! It's gonna come with 1.0GB, DDR2-533 SDRAM, 2 DIMMS (probably 2 512MB sticks), I'd like to upgrade him to 2GB. Unfortunatley, that's all I've got... "1.0GB, DDR2-533 SDRAM, 2 DIMMS". If anybody can help out their beloved Cap'n here by showing me the lowest-priced way of doing this, I'd be much abliged!

Get the one that's the extra $9.30 - the ddr2-667? Not because of any kind of techno-snobbery but because its 1 stick of 1 gig memory. Thus, when you go & spring for the 2nd stick (which, newegg has sitting around $99 per ALSO) you just snap it in.

Whereas, if you go with the 2 512 sticks of ddr533, you have to spend $200 to go to 2 gigs 'cause you'll have to pull out both 512's to make room. Which, you may not be able to recoup enough to make it worth it EVEN THOUGH you are a naughty vampire ebay god.

Okay, good advice... but WHICH ONE on NewEgg.com and I going to want to buy? The specs for the laptop say nothing of how many pins!

Fortunately for people like me... and you, I guess, all the ddr2-667 is 200 pin. No need to worry about that crap, 'cause its all one standard unlike PC memory...
