I've got a an old Dell Latitutude C600 and I want to add some RAM to it. I just want to make sure that I'm getting the right memory for it.

According to the Dell site, it needs 144 pin PC100 SODIMMs. Looking through some retailer websites who carry the the 265MB size, some say they are 16x16, 32x8, or 32x64. What does the 16x16 mean and does it matter when I'm buying the RAM?

TIA.

Hi, The nimbers you refer to usually give the number of Bytes in each chip and the number of chips. Usually makes no difference except to the appearance of the stick of mem. Notice that the product of all your numbers is the same. Jim
