I have an older laptop with currently 1GB DDR2 RAM. Currently 2x 512MB memory are installed. The laptop supports 2GB so I guess you have to install 2x1GB. I've been on the Internet and there are many different DDR2 RAM modules. How do I find out who the right ones are and work?
If the processor is important: Intel 1.5GHz 1MB L2 533MHz FSB 1.0-1.3V 32-bit
Do you have to count the pins that are on your current one and compare.
And if you do that, you just search google or the shop where you want to order ddr2 ram notebook
Your motherboard has a certain maximum limit. For example, only 2 bars and each may not have more than 1GB. You have to look over the motherboard name. Alone that is already sporty with such an old device… And it does not pay well. Since you get for 100 euro already much better used laptops on Ebay (Classifieds)
DDR2 you get cheap on Ebay classifieds. Incidentally, the RAM bars have certain designations. The design is basically the same, but maybe you have to be careful with the height. So the best times to expand the old and see if there are 1 GB variants. DDR2 is otherwise universal. It has to be laptop memory… And not server or desktop.
The motherboard has 2 slots and in total it can't be more than 2GB. Does the new memory have to have 533MHz as well as the FSB from the processor?
Comes on the processor. If you call the info page of Intel, you get all the technical details, there it is. You have not written us the processor name here
Intel Celeron M 410 … I can see right now, it only has 1.46 GHz. The processor is quite old, I know. But for most of my stuff, it's still enough.
Download CPU-Z. With it you can read out the exact values of the SO-Dimm under SPD.
These values should also have the ram you buy. Or be clocked higher.

Why count the pins? The DDR2 SO dimms all have the same number.
That was fun
