OT :Paging Laptop Memoryisti

I'm sure someone will know this, I want to put some more memory in my
Dell D600, currently it has 2x256 PC2100 DDR. I want to fit 2x 1GB
DDR, the spec specifiesPC2700, can I use faster, eg PC6400?
I don't care about the speed,it's just it's about half the price of
PC2700 memory.

Thanks

You can prolly use any speed DDR but NOT DDR2 or DD3. Does plain DDR
come in flavours as fast as PC6400? If you're using Windows, have you
tried the Crucial utility?

 

I have tried Crucial, it suggested DDR PC2100 or 2700 THe PC 6400 is
DDR2, I didn't notice 'till now.

According to this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM

DDR2 is NOT backwards compatible. The notch is in a different place and
they run at 1.8V as opposed to DDR's 2.5V. Sorry!

By the way, fix your sig. it's dash-dash-space-return.

What is this 'buy' that you speak of?

 

As others of said I think that PC6400 is DDR-2 so is incompatible. :-(

You might be best to keep an eye on eBay .. I've even picked up 1G (2
x 512M) PC 133 SDRAM quite cheap recently.

And don't forget yer old RAM will also go on eBay, off-setting the
cost?

All the best ..
