    I would like to upgrade my RAM on my laptop, but I have no idea what RAM chips are compatible. Right now I am looking at this one:

    Is it compatible? If not, can you send me a link with a chip that is compatible?

    Here are my system specs:

    Specification- Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.50GHz
    Core Speed- 1495.6 MHz
    Northbridge- Intel GM965 rev. C0
    Southbridge - Intel 82801HBM (ICH8-ME) rev. B0
    Memory Type- DDR2
    Memory Size- 2048 MBytes
    Channels- Dual, (Symmetric)
    Module format- SO-DIMM

    This should work fine. Anything DDR2 should work fine.
