What laptop memory to buy?

[XJBaylor]

I am trying to upgrade my Dell Inspiron 9300 to 2GB of RAM from the one it currently has. I currently have 1GB DDR2 Dual Channel PC4200 (2x512)

I assume it is a waste of money (or unworkable) to get anything other than PC4200, correct?

Anyone know of the best performing RAM for my application?

Computer is mostly used for work (emails and such), Lightroom and CS3.

Its probably best to stick with the same RAM that you already have in there. Without knowing if the motherboard supports a faster speed you would most likely end up wasting money.

I use XMS High performance RAM in my system in case you are looking for a brand. But my next recommendation and probably the cheapest solution would be Corsair ValueRam good price and decent performance.
