Crucial 2GB 667 Mhz CT25664AC667 DDR2 200-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory
Crucial 2GB 667 Mhz CT25664AC667 DDR2 200-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory
A small outline dual inline memory module (SODIMM) consists of a number of memory components (usually black) that are attached to a printed circuit board (usually green). SODIMMs get their name because they are smaller and thinner than regular DIMMs. The gold pins on the bottom of the SODIMM provide a connection between the module and a socket on a larger printed circuit board. The pins on the front and back of a SODIMM are not connected.

The pins on the front and back of a SODIMM are not connected.
200-pin SODIMMs are used to provide DDR and DDR2 SDRAM memory for notebook computers. 200-pin SODIMMs are available in PC2700 DDR SDRAM, PC3200 DDR SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-6400 SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM, DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM and DDR2 PC2-3200 SDRAM. To use DDR or DDR2 memory, your system motherboard must have 200-pin SODIMM slots and a DDR- or DDR2-enabled chipset. A DDR or DDR2 SODIMM will not fit into a standard SDRAM SODIMM socket. (Information about which memory technology your system uses is included in the Crucial Memory Advisor™ tool.)
The number of black components on a 200-pin SODIMM can vary, but it always has 100 pins on the front and 100 pins on the back, for a total of 200. 200-pin SODIMMs are approximately 2.625 inches long and 1.25 inches high, though the heights can vary. Like 144-pin SODIMMs, 200-pin SODIMMs have one small notch within the row of pins; however, the notch on the 200-pin SODIMMs is closer to the left side of the module.

Crucial 2GB 667 Mhz CT25664AC667 DDR2 200-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory Reviews
When I first landed on this product’s page, I thought that either the price was wrong or that the product was not up to par. Well, I can now tell you that I was way off and that both the price and the product rock! Prior to buying the product, I did some research regarding wether I could install this particular chip on my Macbook; lucky for me it was a match made in heaven!
The installation process was a breeze and the difference in speed and performance was simply mind-blowing! i look forward to buying more RAM from Crucial and hopefully I’ll find a 4 GB chip for my Macbook Pro… either that or I’ll just have to buy two 2Gb sticks!
First you have to open the cover plate on the bottom of the Eee. That’s the ONLY scary part of this process. I’ve been working on computers since the days of Time-Seared HP systems, so I’m no novice. However, the friction between the plate and the case is such that it felt as if I were going to damage the computer by applying too much force. I read several reviews on line and one mentioned this and that it would be ok. So, I went ahead and applied more force and presto out came the plate without any damage. Then you just release the clips holding the original memory, the card pops up, you pull it out without any force at all, slide the new 2gb card in to replace the original card, replace the cover, reinsert the battery, and turn on the computer.
This new memory card worked like a charm and was instantly recognized. You can hit F2 while the computer is booting and go into the bios to check if you’d like, or change it manually if needed, but this is not necessary in the newer 1000HE models. As has been noted elsewhere there are YouTube videos which show the entire process – they will help the novice a great deal.
