    hi!i own an LG P1 PRO EXPRESS DUAL (15,4") notebook for two years.
    I want to do a memory upgrade but i noticed that only one from the two slots is traceable,the other one is hidden.The notebook is compatible with SODIMM DDR2 PC5300 (667MHz) DUAL-CHANNEL RAM.I am thiniking to leave the hidden one 512MB and replace the other 512MB with a 2GB KINGSTON.I think the following one is pretty good KINGSTON KVR667D2S5/2G.
    Does anyone know if this memory is compatible with my laptop and if the two RAM memories probably work fine?

    Yes, that 2GB kingston ram would work just fine. The other "hidden" ram compartment is most likely underneath the keyboard.

    Thanks beatman.

    I am not sure but can this model (LG P1 PRO EXPRESS DUAL) support up to 4Gb ram update ??? Cause in the users manual it describes that can support up to 2Gb totally, (two slots of 1Gb ram in its module).

    A 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM is probably what you want. I have a WD5000BEVT inside my laptop from about a year ago, and it runs fine and dandy.

    hey beatman, those memories you are referring to as compartible according to the manufacturers. Are they compatible with the LG P1 KP01HS MODEL???????
    Thanks in advance.
