I have a Dell Inspiron 4000 Laptop, and i'm looking to upgrade the memory on it, but i'm a little confused. Right now, it has 1x 128MB 144-pin SO-DIMM in it. I am looking to upgrade it to 512MB, therefore I am looking to buy two new 256MB chips and get rid of the old 128MB.

The specs from Dell's support site on the memory in the laptop are:

Memory
Architecture

SDRAM
Memory module socket
two user-accessible SODIMM sockets
Memory module capacities
64, 128, and 256 MB
Memory type
3.3-V SODIMM
Standard memory
one 64-MB memory module
Maximum memory
512 MB
Memory clock speed
100 MHz
Memory access time
CL2 or CL3 (CL2 and CL3 indicate a CAS latency of two and three clocks, respectively.)

I found this memory at MemoryWizards and was wondering if it would work in my laptop:

Thanks,

Your best bet is to check out Crucial.com they have a memory selector that will match the correct memory to your laptop. Plus, crucial's quality, customer service, and free 2nd shipping can't be beat.

dell laptops can be very picky about memory so suggest you just get it from crucial like DrVos suggested.
