Where can I get DDR3?

DDR2 RAM sticks for laptops use 200 pins while DDR3 RAM sticks for Laptops use 204 pins. While I'm sure you could fit a DDR2 stick into a DDR3 slot, I don't think thats how it works.

You never know....Maybe it has a DDR3 slot but they put in DDR2.(My logic is very bad

...But I guess I'll stick with DDR2 to avoid any trouble....Either way thank you for going and looking everywhere

DDR3 and DDR2 for desktops are both 240 pin sticks... so they fit!

Sorry, no. (Or are you joking?)

Same number of contacts, but different notch locations. Forcing a DDR3 DIMM into a DDR2 slot would cause serious damage.

The motherboards that can use either have separate slots for the different types. They can't be mixed. You must use one or the other.

The chipset in your laptop can, in principle, support either DDR2 or DDR3. That appears to be what Hwinfo detected.

Your laptop was built with DDR2 slots, though. You can't use DDR3.

No great loss. I wouldn't be surprised if the BIOS settings in the laptop are too limited to allow you to take advantage of high-performance DDR2, if it even exists in SODIMM form.
