FWIW, I found the following apparently similar models of Presario V5300-series
laptops on the HP web site. Note that their memory configurations are
different, indicating different models of motherboards:

Compaq Presario V5300 CTO Notebook PC - NO DETAILED TECHNICAL INFO
Compaq Presario V5303NR Notebook PC - AMD 1.6GHz Turion, PC2700 DDR memory
Compaq Presario V5304US Notebook PC - 2GHz Mobile AMD Sempron, PC2700 DDR
Compaq Presario V5305WM Notebook PC - - 2GHz Mobile AMD Sempron, PC2700 DDR
Compaq Presario V5306US Notebook PC - AMD 1.6GHz Turion, PC2700 DDR memory
Compaq Presario V5307US Notebook PC - 1.86 GHz Intel® Centrino, DDR2 memory
(speed unspecified)
Compaq Presario V5308CA Notebook PC - 2GHz Mobile AMD Sempron, PC2700 DDR
Compaq Presario V5310US Notebook PC - 2.2GHz Mobile AMD Sempron, PC2700 DDR
Compaq Presario V5315WM Notebook PC - 1.8GHz Mobile AMD Sempron, PC2700 DDR

Other than the Intel Centrino thrown into the mix, these are all AMD CPU systems
with PC2700 memory. Also, apparently the V5300-series models refer to a shared
common chassis and other parts with different motherboards. I don't know how
HPaq can keep all this straight... Ben Myers

So,

ATI Xpress200m chipset, and AMD Turion ML-32 (socket 754) cant run at
PC3200?

There are no memory settings to change in the BIOS. I know its not dual
channel. But I expected that the hardwre was made long after PC3200 was
standard, it could run at full speed.
My old Athlon64 3800 runs PC3200 (AMD has the memory controller on the
chip, not the motherboard)

speed
needs to meet the minimum speed required by the motherboard
specifications. I
really doubt that there is any way for you to increase the speed... Ben

On the following laptop, is there any way (or does it even support)
running
PC3200 memory at PC3200 speed? I have 2x 1GB PC3200 SODIMMS (confirmed by
CPUZ). But it runs at PC2700/DDR333. Even with a single 1GB stick, its at
DDR333.
