Should I be buying 2x256mb DDR PC2100 non-parity CL3?

Really do not have a clue what I am talking about, but after looking at Crucial.com, have I got it nearly right?

DDR on an M700! Not right for me.

M700 is a notebook, Presario is consumer home PC - what's this M700 in a Presario case business?

Ahh, I can see the pic now!

Nope, they are PC133 (SDRAM) and an SODIMM factor.

SODIMM

A small outline dual inline memory module (SODIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). SODIMMs get their name because they are smaller and thinner than regular DIMMs. The gold or tin pins on the bottom of the SODIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a SODIMM are not connected, providing two lines of communication paths between the module and the system.

144-pin SODIMMs are commonly found in laptop computers. Each 144-pin SODIMM provides a 64-bit data path, so they are installed singly in 64-bit systems. 144-pin SODIMMs are available in EDO, 66MHz SDRAM, PC100 SDRAM, and PC133 SDRAM. When upgrading, be sure to match the memory technology that is already in your system. (Information on which memory technology is used by your system is included in the Memory Selector.)

The number of black components on a 144-pin SODIMM may vary, but they always have 72 pins on the front and 72 pins on the back for a total of 144. 144-pin SODIMMs are approximately 2.625" long and 1" high, though the heights may vary. They have one small notch within the row of pins along the bottom of the module.

I ordered mine from Crucial, just entered the PC model & it told me what I needed. If they were wrong I'd have sent them back.
