	Unless I'm mistaken, that is a 512MB SODIMM :) Laptops do use 144-pin,
no? Considering the max 72-pin crucial sells is 64MB, I think that is a safe
assumption.

	Push the sales rep about support for these sticks... if money weren't
that much of an object, I'd probably buy one and stick it in to see if it 
works. Desktop's have been fairly friendly to experimentation with ram in my
experience, anyone care to inform me otherwise before I total somebody's 
machine one day :)
