I am looking at upgrading my laptop's ram. My laptop, Compaq Intel Centrino T5450, currently has 1gb of RAM onboard but I am looking at upgrading to two 2gb sticks (total of 4gb) with this package - Buy the Crucial 4GB PC6400 DDR2-800 SODIMM Memory Kit at TigerDirect.ca

This is a look at my laptop's ram with the cover removed - http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7747/canon1349.jpg

My question... will this work?

Try Crucial's scanner:

Memory upgrades from Crucial.com - About Crucial:Media Toolbox

Well... that's not good. Ran the scan and it tells me I can not exceed 2gb. Odd, since the PC is telling me the max is 4gb. Can I not replace PC5300 with PC5400?

Can you find a more exact ID for your computer?

Hp shows many options for T5450

It looks like 2GB is max @ 2 x 1024-MB (667-MHz, PC2-5300, DDR2)
