as ride3k said, thats desktop RAM. You need laptop RAM, and anything from here should work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...k=&srchInDesc=

Awsome link, so 200 pin will work on any laptops or should i check that out first?
Do brand names matter?

Both DDR and DDR2 are 200-pin when it comes to laptops, but if your buying a new XPS then any DDR2 200-pin RAM should work. Personally I would go with DDR2-667 just because the laptop cant utilize any RAM faster then that.
