Anne,
 Different memory sites vary between PC2100 and PC2700 for this  notebook so 
apparently both are acceptable. However, since your intention is to  upgrade, 
I would lean towards the PC2700 since it runs at 333MHz as opposed to  the 
2100's 266MHz. I can't testify to how big an actual difference this would  make 
in performance but, to my way of thinking, faster is better. (I happily  invite 
corrections!)
 
 I understand the enjoyment of finding a "deal" on ebay, but keep in  mind 
even buying it new, a 512mb PC2700 SODIMM only cost around $30-$35.00  at sites 
such as Tigerdirect, Newegg etc.

I  foolishly offered to increase the RAM on my Mother's Sanyo Notebook,  
PCGK74.

From the specs obtained from the Sony site, it seems this  model has 2 
available RAM slots, and can take a total of 1 gig ram over  both slots. 
It currently has a sad 256 mg ram which was factory  fitted.

My dilemma is, I searched ebay with the ram specs from Everest  - PC2700 
DDR SDRAM SODIMM , and the only match was RAM for a Mac laptop  with 200 
pins. When I dropped the SODIMM, I got matches for PC Laptop RAM  with 
184 pins.

I have explored the Sony website, and the Samsung  website (the 
manufacturer of the original laptop RAM), and can't find any  mention of 
number of pins.

Thank you in anticipation of advice, or  suggestions where else to look.
