Compaq Presario V5306US and memory speed
Processor clock speed and motherboard design govern the actual speed at which
memory operates, not the memory speed itself. And, of course, the memory 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...

Compaq Presario V5306US and memory speed
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.

Compaq Presario V5306US and memory speed
Laptop and desktop capabilities are not directly comparable. Laptops are very
much more closed-end systems, with extremely limited possibilities for improving CPU and memory performance. The HP web site says PC2700 memory, so that's what it is. You can do your own research on the motherboard chipset to find out whether it supports faster memory in combination with a CPU with a faster front side bus. If it does, then you have the possibility of installing a faster CPU with PC3200 memory. Frankly, CPU upgrades of laptops are not to be taken lightly. You can also find out if HP makes/made similar models with different CPUs and/or memory. HP's technical information on the Presario V5306US is a little sparse, to state it kindly. The HP web site does not say what the motherboard chipset is, nor does it give a clue about "families" of laptop computers sharing the same motherboard...

Compaq Presario V5306US and memory speed
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...

Compaq Presario V5306US and memory speed
I have. It looks to be a BIOS throttle limitation. Not the chipset/CPU
(From Anandtech March 10th, 2005) "The Turion 64 will be available in both 1MB L2 and 512KB L2 cache models, but both models will only support a 64-bit (single channel) DDR400 memory controller. The first Turion 64s will be available in speeds ranging from 1.6GHz up to 2.0GHz." http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...oc.aspx?i=2374 |

Or possibly a design limitation in the motherboard itself... Ben Myers
