To put it in the terms you said, just tell them you need RAM for laptops, DDR2 bus speed 667Mhz. PC2-5300, basically translates to DDR2 (PC2) and 667Mhz (5300).

How do you know the laptop will address 2 gigs of ram? The specs say 512 not 1 gig and there are two slots so max could be 1 gig... whats the mfr model laptop?

so you have almost 1 gig of ram in there now which is good the ram is the opperating speed at which the comp runs at the more gigs you have the faster it is you can always jsut keep the 1 gig in but if you already have the 2 1 gig no doubt use them the laptop with run faster then a jackrabbit

Just tell the store you need 2 pieces of 1Gb SODIMM ddr2-667mhz or PC2-5300. It should look like this:
