confused about Memory

I'm trying to upgrade the amount of memory in a friends laptop. The
one stick she has says: Hynix 512mb 2rx16 pc2-4200-444-12. Then: HYMP
564s64bp6 c4 ab. I see quite a few sticks for sale on ebay but they
mention things like sodimm/ddr2/non-ecc etc. I'm confused about all
this nomenclature since non of it appears on the stick she has. Can
someone advise me as to what would be compatible? Her laptop is a
Toshiba satellite of some sort. Thank you.

Go here http://www.crucial.com/ and enter her laptop manufacturer and
model number, and you'll get a list of memory that's compatible with it.

SODIMM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO-DIMM

DDR2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM

non-ecc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory (simply put, it's
non-error correcting memory).

A Satellite is about the simplest thing going for calling and checking
around for unquestionably a correct fit. Lucky for you, as laptops
go, some I've run into can be a real nightmare, especially when
pricing parts. Toshiba doesn't treat people like that from what I've
seen.

Second this. If you're unsure about the memory a board wants just
download their analyzer and see. I've built my own gear (and a fair
amount of other gear also) for ages and yet faced with anything
uncertain I don't even try to figure it out, just run that.
