| 1171337 | 2011-01-21 01:40:00 | Its probably DDR3-800 SODIMM ram. I would just take the laptop into a PC shop. Then show them the stick of ram, thats already installed in it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1171338 | 2011-01-21 01:45:00 | Thanks. would I be able to do a 1066mHz or 1333mHz? Would it still work? Otherwise would DDR2 work? | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1171339 | 2011-01-21 01:54:00 | DDR2 will not work. 1066 and 1333 should work, but may run at the lower clockspeed of 800 if mixed with existing ddr3-800, or even if replacing the existing then it may be limited by the memory controller on the board. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1171340 | 2011-01-21 01:56:00 | Get CPUZ. That may tell you the max speed. Dont think you'll be able to use DDR 2 ram tho. Even if it supported 1066 or 1333 ram, the celeron CPU thats in it wouldnt make it any faster | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1171341 | 2011-01-21 02:01:00 | Ok I have the choice of these two. www.ec.kingston.com or www.ec.kingston.com Which would you recomend be better? | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1171342 | 2011-01-21 02:12:00 | Looks like it may support 1066 but not 1333 ram | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1171343 | 2011-01-21 02:20:00 | That's funny becaues I was just recommended to use 1333 ram over on the compter lounge forum. :). Hmm. Any input from anyone else? | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1171344 | 2011-01-21 02:25:00 | Well in most cases using higher speed ram will just result in it scaling down its performance to the slower speed. Other times, it'll throw a sicky and crash or not work properly. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
| 1171345 | 2011-01-21 02:31:00 | True if it doesnt support that speed it'll step down to 800. So really no point getting it anyway | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
