I "think" Crucial (www.crucial.com) guarantees that their memory will be
compatible.  I've used them on the great advice of others here and had no
problems. The memory stick that I ordered from them came in short order
and with very detailed installation instructions.  When you visit their
site you'll be asked for the complete details on your computer and
they'll go from there.  Good Luck!
