So I tried using Gateway's website to download all the documents for this laptop so I could figure out what kind of memory to get (I don't have the laptop in hand).

You can't search for the model but you can pick notebooks, M series, then 285. Basically I want to order 2x2gb sticks of memory and upgrade it to either Vista 64-bit or Windows 7. It looks like it has drivers for Vista so I may stick with that not sure. Anyway, since this is an old laptop I don't want to buy new memory ($70+) and would prefer to buy used memory to keep costs down. Am I right in thinking that I need to look for SODIMM, DDR2, and at least 5300/667 speed? For example I should be able to buy this right?
