    Should fit just fine, its going to be standard 2.5" size, and if both your laptop and the drive use IDE, your all set.

    Most laptops use SATA now tho so I guess yours is older.

    I have to ask tho, why do you want it??? That model is not very fast, we have traditonal HDD's that run nearly that fast with tons more storage for less money. Speed is the no1 reason I would want a SSD, the secondary reasons are better battery life, and less heat.

    So are those 2 secondary reasons all you want from your SSD?
