hp pavilion ze4900 ram buying help

pls help

i have a hp pavilion ze4900 with the memory detail below. i want to buy more ram for it. can you pls tell me what is the max ram i could buy for it, if it can take dual channel 2g ram like (Kingston HyperX 2048MB PC3200 400MHz Dual Channel DDR Memory (2 x 1024MB) or (Corsair Value Select Dual Channel 2048MB PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory (2 x 1024MB) or (Crucial Dual Channel 2048MB PC2700 DDR 333MHz Memory (2 x 1024MB)or (Crucial Ballistix Tracer Dual Channel 2048MB PC4000 DDR 500MHz Memory (2 x 1024MB), and what is the differences between pc2700, pc3200 and pc4000, well either one work for it.
i really would like your recommendation on what ram would work. thanx

Usually the limit is 2gb for laptops like that.

But you're throwing around names like Ballistix and PC4000, which sound pretty desktop-exclusive... you are looking for the dinky SODIMMS that fit in laptops, not the big desktop sticks.

PC2100/PC2700/PC3200 refer to the ram speed, all will work, with a teeny preformance difference that you probably won't notice.

 

I believe that the Pavilion ze series only supports 1 gig of ram, which is what HP says. I don't know if this is correct or not. Since your laptop is basically a legacy machine (~2003) it probably only supports 1 gig, due to hardware limitations. I assume that your notebook probably has the first generation of Intel Extreme Graphics, which only use ~32MB of ram, so at least you would still have 992 MB of ram out of a gig, which is no problem for XP. BTW you only need at least PC-2100 for this machine. You could use PC-2700 or 3200, but they wouldn't make a difference. So, look for 2 x 512 sticks of PC-2100 or higher DDR (not DDR2)
SO-DIMMs.

thanx what about the 200 pins and the 184 pins what is the differences

 

184 is the big ddr stick, 200 is the little ddr sodimm... contradictory, eh?
