Memory for Compaq Armada M700 laptop

[StarkMjolk]

I've just bought myself a new laptop, great machine in desperate need for more memory. Came with only 128MB and 2000 pro installed, painfully slow.

I need to know if anyone is familiar with this model, and how picky it is with the memory modules. I know it needs PC100 SO-DIMM SDRAM 144p modules, but will I need the modules designed for this laptop with cas 2.0, or will it take any standard SO-DIMM cas 3.0 module? Since the price difference if I buy new modules is about x3 to x4 for cas 2.0 parts, I don't want to buy them "just to be sure".

It has 64MB of non-removable SDRAM, and a 64MB expantion module installed atm.
This is the Pentium 3 version of the M700 btw.

Thanks for any help, want to get started using it asap and it is really too slow right now.

hop over to crucial's memory configurator, it's guaranteed to work

Thanks man. But I just checked in there. They don't have the M700 listed

And I might mention I am on a tight budget, and I'm mostly looking for used parts. I payed 500SEK, or about £38 for the whole laptop. I don't have much money, but I'll pay what I must pay to get it in top shape.

I've gone through a bunch of other memory configurators, but of course they all sugest the cas 2.0 modules specifically built for the M700 and a few other models. What I'm really looking for is if other modules will work anyways. I just want to find out what this laptop really requiers from the memory modules, what I am supposed to look for.
