According to the HP.com website, the appropriate RAM for my computer is:
    Originally posted by hp
    SDRAM, 133 MHz, Intel PC SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification, revision 1.0 compliant


Now, there are 144-pin and 168-pin SDRAM that run at the appropriate speed, my processor is a 900mhz AMD Athlon, my dinosaur computer is an HP Pavilion 8720 (D7206B - ABA), and I just want to buy some frickin' memory, and they (the spec gods) aren't going to make anything easy because I can't find a matching sentence fragment anywhere that will explain it to my understanding. Froogle returned NOTHING, Google didn't 'splain for me what this is meaning, a couple of the RAM manufacturers' websites didn't really help, so now my head hurts.

Can someone please tell me if this stick will meet my needs?

Try http://www.crucial.com/store/listProductLine.asp?cat=RAM&mfr=HP+-+Compaq&submit=Go and see if they have your machine on their drop down list.

Thank you both for your help. I now have a spec that I can understand.

Having anything called "iPod Classic" makes me feel old. I remember my first gen Windows 5 GB arriving as my birthday present a couple weeks before they popped up in stores.
