However, it's unlikely you have more than two slots, going from 2GB to 4GB probably means replacing what's in there. Don't price 2GB, price 4GB. At $100 you're probably not saving much doing it yourself.
FYI, don't get one 4Gb module, you'll be needlessely be spending a few too many dollars. Get two 2Gb modules. The maximum memory a laptop (or current desktop) can see and use is just over 3Gb, two 2Gb modules will cost less than one 4Gb module. So get two 2Gb modules.
Before someone jumps in here on a technicality, Windows Vista Ultimate will access almost 4Gb max.

I've had Centon memory fail once and their service was the GREATEST in making me satisfied.
Guess which brand I refuse to buy or recommend now?
I usually buy Kingston or Centon for the quality and lifetime warranty now.
I've seen the same thing happen with Crucial. Everyone raves about them, but they're tight-fisted if you need a warranty replacement.
