I have a HP Pavillion DV 8000 series laptop. What's recommended to use in them?

Brand,... model,.. speed etc...

I think the 2GB of RAM in it now are messed up.

The laptop skips a lot when programs are opened. Such as windows media player or ITunes. I've tested the Hard Drive & it passes. I'm about to run Memtest for the RAM it has now.

    Did you ever consider that it's time for a reformat?

    did that just a few weeks back
    The damn thing ran just FINE for a LONG time before then, then suddenly started this same thing. I removed the partition & redid it all,.. re-installed & everything,... now it's stuttering again.
    I'd appreciate actualy HELP responses, not sarcasm... thx.

    It wasn't sarcasm.

    The notebook uses DDR333/PC2700. Stick with a name brand like crucial, micron, corsair or something.

    Thanks. I have 2gb of OCZ in there right now. It seems to pass Memtest, but the laptop just skips still. You might be right about time for a re-install.
