Thanks for all the info.

Checked the laptop and decided to discard the existing RAM in the underside of the machine and purchase a 2GB from Crucial.

I looked at key board removal and thought it difficult.

I will find it much easier to replace the existing one.

I was very impressed with Crucial -

That is not the same machine.

Hers is a laptop.

They will have to exchange it if it doesn't run it, odd that they would say it was suitable if it isn't

Fair enough, though in post two it was mentioned to check the machine, and if crucial have supplied this

Yes, Crucial recommend laptop RAM, whereas your link was to DIMM.

Not a problem anyway, as the OP used the scanner....and there was a happy ending.

Good that the 2GB module was recognised.
