i'm trying to get an old pavillion up to max memory, from 128 to 256 woohoo, and the chip that came out was a sodimm 128mb pc133 cl2 stick from crucial. not suprisingly, crucial comes up with the exact same specs to add a second one, but i'm finding plenty on ebay, the only diff being cl3, not cl2. if i buy a pair, which i can do for less than half of the single chip from cucial, and shipped free to boot, does anyone think the cl number will be an issue? thanks.

The laptop has no performance tweaking options, so CL3 will be fine.
Make sure you get "low density".
