Need ram advice for a laptop

I have this now

My motherboard says it will only take up to 192 max.. but was wondering if a stick of SODIMM 256MB PC-133 would still work and maybe not use the full 256? It's a Toshiba Satellite 2750dvd. I'm thinking it probably won't work but want to make sure.. Anyone know?

 

I wouldn't buy memory from eBay. Go to www.crucial.com and see what kind of memory (including maximum chip size) your computer needs.

 

I wasn't going to buy from there. I was just showing what kind of ram i had

 

If you have an extra stick sitting around, give it a try. In my experience, "too-big" sticks will often be detected by older systems at half their actual capacity.

If you will be buying memory, DoubleHelix is right. Bite the bullet and order the right stuff. Go to Kingston/Crucial/Corsair/etc, look up what you need, then buy it from NewEgg/ZipZoomFly/etc.
