What specifications for RAM are important?

I have a Toshiba laptop with 2GB RAM running Vista. I would like to install another 2GB of RAM. I was going to buy directly from Toshiba, but they charge like $89.99 for this part:

Toshiba 2GB PC2-5300 DDR2-667MHz Notebook Memory Module

I went to Newegg.com and see that they have a bunch of different RAM that seem to fit the basic spec:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2000260381+1309121116+1309221136&name=DDR2+667+(PC2+5300)

2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop Memory Model

for ~$40.

Is 200 pins standard? (i guess I could take mine out and count...)

What Cas Latency and timing do I want?

Is 1.8V standard?

Are there any brands that are better than others?

In my mind Corsair and OCZ are the best brands. But Mushkin, Kingston, Patriot, Crucial will all be good. And what matters most is the speed of the RAM, most RAM today will come in either 667MHz (what you are looking at), 800MHz, and 1066MHz. The higher it is, the faster. And 240pinn is standard for desktops, I'm not sure about laptops. 4-4-4-12, is the best Cas latency I think, but 5-5-5-15 is very good as well. And 1.8V-2.1V is standard, higher than that can make your laptop very hot. And keep in mind, in order too get the full 4GB of RAM, you need vista 64 bit, which is really annoying. Many, many programs can not run on vista 64 bit. Most programs prior too 2005 will not work. So I recommend getting 1 more GB of RAM, and keeping 32 bit, unless you already have 64 bit.
