    Aaron-

    Which one of these "JEDECS" am I following?
    Ive got Dell telling me my 4gb of ram is at 800mhz when CPU-Z is telling me otherwise.

    DDR memory does two operations every clock cycle, so while yours actually runs at 400 MHz (what CPU-Z says), the marketing people like to call it 800 MHz.

    Thanks Aaron.

    So other than the following memory description:

    4 GB DDR2 800MHZ PC2-6400

    -are there any other things I need to look for (ie, pin(s) number or different types of dimms, eec or non-eec, etc)?

    CAS latency (CL) 6 if possible, non-ECC.
    Of course, a SO-DIMM laptop module (200-pin), not a full-size desktop module.
