I believe its PC2100, the maximum your lappy can handle is 2gb.

Oops, it looks like I am mistaken. Some places say your lappy can handle 2gb but it looks like it is 1gb, perhaps someone can clarify this. I would imagine they have to be added in pairs 2x256mb for example. Try shop4memory.com or crucial.com/eu for the cheapest RAM. There are a few others also.

Max Memory is 2GB, it can only handle 1GB per slot which is where i think the confusion arised

Doesn't have to be matching capacity, just as long as speeds are the same
