laptop memory/frequency

[hondro]

hey guys, so i was wondering if i got ram at a higher frequency than what I have now (667) on my acer aspire 4530 if it would actually run at higher frequency or would i just be wasting money if i went out and bought 800's?

processor: amd athlon x2 dual core ql-62 2.00 ghz
bus speed: 200 mhz

and my current memory

From what I found

Dual-channel 333 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Memory controller

So I wouldn't bother with getting some DDR2-800.

thanks for the reply, but what exactly does a 333mhz controller mean as far as what type of memory I use?

A 333MHz controller can run 333MHz or slower RAM. In DDR terms that is DDR-667.
