Question will this RAM upgrade work?

my friend is unsatisfied after having his laptop for over three years. i told him some ways to speed it up. i suggested another gig of RAM. (also suggested msconfig, not using Internet Explorer) so i had him download CPU-Z to get the info needed to buy the right RAM. he said that it is PC2- 3200. its running at 200Mhz, though when i type in PC2-3200 on newegg, it comes up with RAM running at 400Mhz. im worried whether or not this will work.
also i dont have any other info at this point. its a Dell inspiron.

this is what i was thinking: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820144180 and maybe getting two. he has two slots. the thing im really worried about though is that it is unbuffered! will it work????
