Memory Upgrade with faster memory? will it work?
Hi I have a Dell Inspiron 510m Laptop with 2 x 256mb chips installed.
There are no free slots so i will need to remove one of the chips to upgrade. I have found the memory upgrade for this machine on the Crucial memory website. their recommemded upgrade is 1 GB DDR PC2700 =B7 CL=3D2.5 =B7 UNBUFFERED =B7 NON-ECC =B7 DDR333 =B7 2=2E5V =B7 128Meg x 64 for =A3104.56 So i searched for this on Ebuyer.co.uk and found Crucial 1GB DDR PC2700 333MHz 200pin SODIMM 128mx64 for notebooks for =A388.90 which I believe is the same spec. However I also found Crucial 1GB DDR PC3200 400MHz 200pin SODIMM for notebooks for =A383.18 My Question is 1) can i use the faster memory than the specification. 2) Can i mix memory ie 1x256mb (PC2700) and 1x1gb (Pc3200) thanks in advance for anyone who can advise=20 Kamal=20 Reply |

I haven't done exactly the same as you but recently added a DDD333 SODIMM, from Crucial to a Thinkpad to go along with the original DDR266 memory. 2) Can i mix memory ie 1x256mb (PC2700) and 1x1gb (Pc3200) Yes again - should be OK. -- Rgds, George Macdonald |
