Question

Is the PNY OPTIMA 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) compatable with my hp pavilion dv 6000?

Answer 1

No!

(and shame on the others for saying otherwise)

Laptops use SODIMM RAM; 240 pin RAM is for desktops and not useable in laptops.  

Laptop DDR2 uses 200 pin SODIMM (small outline dual in-line memory module) modules.  You can however go up to a DDR2 800mHz speed if you wish, but more than likly it will down clock to 667mHz if your dv6000 is using the Santa Rosa platform.

Answer 2

yes it will work, but take out the other memory as its different.

Answer 3

you need PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM
