thanks to you also, now i not I can use 400mhz ram not the 333mhz
it says DDR SDRAM? so could I use DIMM?

userrc651 · 02-10-2008, 11:40 AM

DDR is backwards compatible. If I were you I'd just get 400 (PC3200) to be on the safe side.

romantic · 02-10-2008, 04:23 PM

No i don't think you can use DIMM becuz it's mostly for desktop computer due to the bigger size. What you should buy is SO-DIMM, it's smaller so most of the laptops use it.

Double check on the same page for supported types and FSB speed, that will help you choose the right one.

laptops only use SO-DIMM for the reason stated above by romantic. Period.
