    Avoid ebay if possible. You can check out offtek.
    2.40 GHz Santa Rosa, so DDR2-667 SODIMM will work.
    If the first module comes with the manufacturer's warranty, then get that.

    I agree with Andy that ebay is a bad place to buy RAM.

    newegg, zipzoomfly, e-wiz are all great places to buy memory.
    You can even buy memory direct from the manufacturers webpage, so you can buy from their.
    The reason it is best to buy new memory is because you need to have the lifetime warranty, and memory which has no errors. Sometimes ebay people will sell memory with errors and turn around and say that they cant replace it or whatever.
    memory is so cheap these days, that their really is no benefit of buying new memory. 4gb of pc5300 can be had for about $55.
