They both work just fine.

I picked up a 1GB PC5300 DDRII SODIMM at Fry's today for $27.99 w/ $10 mail in rebate. It's a Crucial stick, which is a brand I trust.

This now brings the machine upto 1.5GB total. Schweet.

I am so glad it's a DDR2 machine. A 1GB DDR stick is over $80 depending on brand. DDR2 is by far cheaper. The extra speed is nice.

This machine is even faster. Next in the list is a 7200RPM hard disk.

What is the largest 7200RPM PATA 2.5" Notebook HD in existence?

I love this machine so much. Sitting here in my comfy chair with they keyboard slightly backlit. It's just so elegant looking. It evokes feelings of high tech and style. Form meets function. What a wonderful piece of technology.

I'll post benches later.

What benchmarks do you want to see? I'll need links.
