How do I check RAM compatibility?

There really isn't anything better you can get when it comes to laptop RAM. Almost all older DDR2 laptops and even some newer ones can only utilize up to DDR2 667, so getting DDR2 800 would be useless.

In my opinion, you already have 4GB of DDR2 667. There is no point in spending money to get 4GB of DDR2 800 that may downclock itself anyways.

Agreed^^

Even if you can use 800mhz...it will make little to no difference.

Don't waste your money!!

Nope, the RAM is fine just the way it is now unless you are tweaking it to run faster or at tighter timings, I wouldn't waste your money on something where you won't see any improvement.

Yeah, complete waste of money!!

also, the word is suggest...not whatever it was that you typed!!

sorry, I'm not perfect either,..but damn that was awful:D

If your talking bout processor for laptop...i'll save you time, effort, frustration...technically you can swap out a cpu but it can be very difficult, not to mention pricey...

thats if you can even swap it out--some laptops are next to impossible for the end-user to 'modify'.

Do yourself a favor and don't bother!! Buy a new machine or build a desktop where you can modify anything and everything.

Essentially, laptops aren't made to modify/upgrade,,with the exception of a few select parts.

I'm confused...

What processor do you currently have? I haven't personally swapped out mobile processors before, but Newegg does sell them and from what I hear/read it isn't all that hard, although it most likely will void your warranty.
