Wait so you bought an alienware laptop without its components? So you basically just bought a case then :( How much did you pay for it?

I bought 2 512mb memory sticks 3 times that where 200 pin but they dont fit in the slots.The hard drive I bought was SATA and that was wrong also.The laptop was $200 for case,batt,ac adapter,mother board,LCD.I have had other laptops apart befor but never bought parts for them. I have a alienware 51m 7700 17" that I love but I thought I would put together a smaller one that dosnt weight 10lbs to carry with me.

Was the RAM you bought DDR2?
You have to remember, it's an old laptop, it'll want DDR1 RAM and an IDE hard drive.

Here post your model number so we can tell you what you REALLY need. By the way I'm sure you can return the products you purchased. They might charge you a restocking fee but that's fine.

Well, the single core Centrino CPUs (at least at those clock speeds) only used DDR1 memory IIRC, so all you need do is find some PC2100 DDR1, since that's the speed you told us it uses.
The Hard drive being IDE is just the age of the laptop, it's only within the last year - year and a half that Laptops have been shipping with S-ATA hard drives, and again that's implied by the age of the CPU.
As for the RAM not fitting, you'll have to bear in mind that the vast majority of laptops only have 2 RAM slots, so you will only be able to use 1GB of RAM.
