Your speaking another language to me. If you don't mine explaining. 
Sometimes the chipset will not support larger than XXXMB of ram... Like this Gateway laptop in front of me with a 400MHz Celeron (not upgradable  ) will only take a max 128MB PC100 SODIMM.
I'll see if I can find the specs on that IBM for ya.
OH, and watch out about that cheap RAM on Pricewatch... A lot of the cheap stuff is generic which doesn't work with all chipsets like name brand (Kingston, PNY, etc.) ones do.
BTW, I got the 128MB PC100 at Staples or Office Max (don't remember) for $60.
