DDR2 is a newer type of memory, chances are that your computer only accepts the original DDR.
Your best bet to find out, since I couldn't find your model either, would be to take out the existing memory stick in your computer. Then write down the numbers on the label and google them. That will tell you what kind of memory your system currently uses.
If it matches, go ahead and plug that badboy in. Just make sure you line up the notches properly.
