Thanks. How about the CPU? Do I need to remove the keyboard?

One other thing I found stange. While looking at my PC infomation sheet AW sent me, I have two different types of memory installed.

Memory Module 1
Capacity: 512MB

Bank Label: DIMM #1

Mem_Type: DDR2-SDRAM

Mem_Bandwidth: PC4300 (266 MHz)

Verified Hardware Device against Order: MEM-MOBL512DDR2533LP

Memory Module 2
Capacity: 512MB

Bank Label: DIMM #3

Mem_Type: DDR2-SDRAM

Mem_Bandwidth: PC3200 (200 MHz)

Verified Hardware Device against Order: MEM-MOBL512DDR2533LP

I have a Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.73GHz

I'm just unsure if I need PC3200 or 4300.
