What is your Thinkpad Model Number

under the screen it says ' R50e ' and on the bottom of the laptop it says ' Type 1834 ' apart from that i dont know

Have a look at what you already have in the SPD tab of CPU-Z:

You should have 2 slots for SODIMM notebook memory, one of which is usually easier to get at than the other. Probably a module up to 1GB of PC333 will work, being backward compatible with PC266, but more of the same is the most reliable guide.

Thats exactly the info i needed.

Your Unit has 2 slots.

Total Memory support is 2048MB (2GB (2 x 1GB Modules))

Your Unit Supports Notebook SO-DIMM DDR PC2700 DDR333

(DDR400 Will probably also work fine but will clock down to DDR333 speed)

or:

the second one is the best to get as its cheapest although its a higher frequency than the first one it will run at the same speed as the other modules in your notebook
