Don't try to find this exact RAM. Just look for functionally identical
memory.
That computer uses an Intel 865 chipset which uses standard DDR SO-DIMM
DDR memory. The FSB is apparently 533MHz, and apparently you need
PC2700 (or faster) DDR memory, 200-pin SO-DIMM package. This is a very
standard commodity item, you can get it anywhere. You don't need a
particular brand (e.g. Kingston).
Note, that laptop has two memory slots. If you put ARCHITECTURALLY
IDENTICAL modules in both slots, it will probably operate in
dual-channel mode (it will run somewhat faster). If one of the slots is
currently occupied and the other one empty, you don't necessarily have
to replace the existing module, but to get dual channel operation the
new additional module must be architecturally identical (it does not
need to be EXACTLY identical, however .... I have one Infineon and one
[carefully chosen] Hynix module in my A105, and it runs dual channel
mode). But for many people (especially those with limited technical
knowledge), the only practical way to get modules which they know to be
architecturally identical is to buy two completely identical modules
from the same source at the same time. The internal architecture of a
chip/module is difficult for non-techies (and sometimes even techies) to
determine.
[If you install two modules that are architecturally different, the
computer will run just fine, but not as fast as it would run if they
were architecturally identical.]
