I am going to upgrade my lenovo z61m (http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-z61m-9450/4505-3121_7-32121847.html) laptop from 1gb to 4gb of ram. I have no idea what I am looking at.
For example what is the difference between
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148234
and
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16820148087
I don't even know if this is the right ram. I think I am supposed to be using PC2 5700 667, but for all I know I can be using something else. I really have no idea here, ram has always confused me. Can you guys help me out here? I have looking to upgrade for about 60 bucks including shipping. What would be the best bang for my buck?

I still don't know what the fastest set up would be for me. I have Vista 32bit so apparently I only get use out of 3gb-3.5gb. Is there any other way to utilize more than this with 32 bit, or do i need to do a reinstall?
If you can answer any of this or just 1 part, please reply and help me out. Thanks.
