I actually picked it up for $1000 whilst I was in Hawaii, at the time that was prob around 600 pounds, we get screwed over here price wise unfortunately.

Could you possibly clarify why it won't run DDR2, as far as I was aware it is dependent on the chipset and intel's site indicates that it does. Thanks for your help.

Depending on what type of ram you have DDR2 may even use a different socket type (so it would not physically fit). Even if your lappy did use 200-pin DDR ram, if it was not designed for DDR2 then there's no way you're going to be able to make it work. You could always buy DDR ram instead though, if you can find it for cheap somewhere.

 So I'm guessing I'm wrong in thinking that what type of ram will work is dependent on the chipset?
