Your shorthand threw me off.  You are looking for ram for a Toshiba
Satellite Pro A40.  It will go up to 2G total with 2 sticks of 1G ram
sticks.

From Crucial:
1G stick - $172
512M stick - $90
256M stick - $43

The laptop has 2 ram slots, you can theoretically mix and match sizes
and brands but the laptop will probably be a lot happier with a matched
set.  I use Crucail first since I have never gotten a bad stick from them.
If they don't have what I need then I go to other brands.
