Laptop DDR2 533 vs 667

uzmarvel · 10-25-2008, 09:04 PM

Hi everyone,

I wanted to replace my LAPTOP Ram and I have DDR2 SDRAM 533. Can I buy DDR2 SDRAM 667 and replace those old ones. Am I gonna have any problem or is it just fine?

Thanks guys.

Most laptop ram are built in, you can't replace them. But some laptops allow you to ADD more RAM to the laptop to a certain amount.

What??

Every laptop has replaceable ram...

Most are accessible underneath the laptop, some are underneath the keyboard.

You can run a free scanner from crucial and it will tell you exactly what options you have...but yeh u can use 667

The lower end of Asus EeePC's are the only "laptops" that I know of that have soldered RAM - any "normal" laptop has upgradeable RAM.

@@OP - As I asked before, are you actually planning on replacing the sticks with bigger ones? The speed increase won't benefit you at all, amount>speed as far as RAM is concerned. But regardless, 667 should work just fine, if the lappy doesn't support that high speeds it will be automatically clocked down to 533 and very few laptops would actually fail to boot with out-of-spec RAM.
