you need two of the same sticks (i.e. 2x256MB or 2x128MB) and of the same company and speeds. Kingston, Corsair, Patriot, and OCZ are really good companies to get. Make sure that the memory is of a compatible speed with what your laptop takes. DDR400, DDR333, DDR2-567... Hope this helps.

The two memory types are not the same - the laptop can work with the 256 MB or the 128 MB by themselves but not together.
http://www.crucial.com will tell you the correct RAM for your laptop. Your laptop may work with two different speeds of RAM only if both are the same.

The memory is not compatable. Leave it out and make sure you purchase the same type when you get the next chip.
