Yes, you're correct. I have seen a mention that the lower/backside DIMM *must* be a low profile chip in order that the fit will be best. (Post-It notes are a great thing to have!) :o)
I'm trying to get the RAM from Crucial - that way, if there is a problem, I can do a cross-ship for the correct one.

Want to get as much RAM for this baby as possible. I was told that >> this laptop can hold RAM as high as 512MB. I can only find 64MB >> modules at crucial.com. There has been some problem for many users of the Wallstreet going to 512 MB of ram (I was one who could not make it work, with the same model Wallstreet). We never did find out why some people were successful and some others could not, just be careful to get the ram from a good commercial source in case you have to send it back for a smaller chip size. For me, I used DMS Memory and they exchanged the 2- 256 chips for 2-128, no questions asked. I tried Kingston memory also and it did not make a difference, with 512 MB in the system, it would only chime and never start up. With 256 MB, it worked perfectly (and Apple's spec call for the maximum ram to be 192 MB for that model). Anyway, thought I would pass this on.
