So, basically, I guess, I need to know...can I buy something like the result I got on Google? Or...is there a reason I'd need to buy...another Hynix model like what I already have?
The spec sheet for that laptop states that the pc can only handle 256mb, 512mb, and 1gig memory sticks. (the 2gig module is a waste since the laptop will only see 1gig of it). You can however put 2 x 1gig memory modules in for a total of 2gigs.

The difference between pc2-4200 and pc2-5300 is the speed of the ram.
pc2-4200 runs at 533mhz
pc2-5300 runs at 667mhz

You have a couple of options here:
1. Add another Hynix 512MB PC2-4200 module for a total of 1gig.
2. Install 2gigs (2 x1gig modules) of pc2-4200 or pc2-5300 ram. for a total of 2gigs.

Newegg carries the 2gig memory kits for about 30.00.
