I want to upgrade the memory from 1GB.  I've looked around here and picked up some conflicting info.  So maybe a few of the helpful experts here can help.  Here's what I've read.

1. We can add 2GB  of DDR533 (PC2 4200) 200 pin memory in the DIMM slot #2.  Since there is 512 in slot #1, the means there will be 2.5GB in the computer.  Windows will only see 2GB. But that's okay because according on one poster here, the system will allocate some of the xtra 512 to system functions.  Maybe even video will get a boost from this available resource.   Does this sound right?

but.......

2.   The User Guide says that 512 can go in one slot and 1GB can go in the other.  The guide does not specify PC2 4200, but I assume that's what it has to be.  Now, why would the guide say only 1GB can go in slot#2?  I really want to try the approach in 1 above, but I don't want to waste $ by buying a 2GB chip and find out it won't work in the laptop.

Any help?  Thanks a lot.
