Gateway M305CRV RAM Help

[Krazyshank]

So I have a Gateway M305CRV laptop. I made a previous thread about what OS to put on it and I decided to go with XP Pro. It works VERY well considering that it only has 256mb of RAM. I thought, why not, ill ATLEAST give it 256mb more. So i did some searching and found that it requires this type of RAM: http://www.pcmemorystore.com/Gateway-M_Series_Notebooks-M305CRV-ram.htm
So I was wondering if this would work for it: http://www.amazon.com/256MB-PC2100-200pin-Laptop-SODIMM/dp/B000YJ8X3S

If that RAM wouldnt work could you please link me to some that would? or even give me a better deal for the same amount OR more of RAM? THANK YOU!

P.S. I realise that it is not really worth upgradeing but it would work with low profile 2d games and web surfing!

I don't think so, look again. PC2100 is the old ddr memory. So you lost that one.

I just thought it was because it said it was in the description on amazon.
Thats a little expencive, is there anything cheaper?

What it says under product description has nothing to do with the memory I linked you too. The reason why its somewhat expensive is because its the older type of memory.
