No. You need notebook DIMMs (SO-DIMM)

Thanks! So I have to look out for someone selling RAM with DIMM in the title? Does that mean any ram I buy with DIMM in the title will suit my laptop?

No, you need SO-DIMMs. Best and cheapest places to look are www.shop4memory.com or www.crucial.com
They both have memory configurators.

And don't get DDR2 SO-DIMMs either, they won't work.

Decent amounts (>= 512mb) of laptop RAM are rarely sold secondhand in my experience.
