Currently my compaq armada laptop has 64mB
Intel Pentium III processor
746 MhZ
64 MB RAM
its really slow and I have been looking on ebay to buy some memory, im not sure which one to get, will it be SDRAM or DDR.
This is the cheapest I have found

Will this work in my laptop and could somebody tell me the number of memory slots in compaq armada M700?

Are there any other sites?0 -
That memory is almost certainly not compatible with your laptop.
You'll need; SODIMM SDRAM PC100 Notebook Memory
Something like this; http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000093SBB/0 -
Here are the recommended Kingston memory part numbers which are compatible with your laptop.
Part nos.; KTC311/128 or KTC311/256LP

You may be able to purchase cheaper generic memory.0 -
PC133 should work too; http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=64FBA051A5CA73040

It you want to be sure of compatibility, here are the Compaq part numbers; 161554-B21 for the 256MB and 400313-B21 for the 128MB.
