Walleee Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Right My laptop's FSB runs at 533MHz, most RAM on Ebay seems to be 667MHz or otherwise it's not stated. How much does it matter? Will I be alright to throw in some 667MHz stuff or will that cause a balls up?Getting pissed at the poor performance of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure it's the right memory type (probably laptop DDR2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will I be alright to throw in some 667MHz stuff or will that cause a balls up?Getting pissed at the poor performance of late.It'll be fine yeah. If your completely replacing the old ram the computer should read that the memory is a higher speed and it will adjust the memory multiplier to compensate. If it doesn't you'll have to do it yourself in the bios by hitting something like F2 or DEL at startup when it tells you to "hit .... to enter setup". If you plan on keeping your existing and adding the new stuff to it, it will just run at the same speed as the old stuff, as it'll be limited to the speed of the slowest ram module.

Muel Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Your joking?!And here's me searching the interweb for some 133mhz ram. How demeening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Your joking?!And here's me searching the interweb for some 133mhz ram. How demeening!new stuff won't work for you cos the hole is a different size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 new stuff won't work for you cos the hole is a different sizeShit, it's DDR1 not the even older gayer type.I've just been trying for ages to get some DDR1 133mhz stuff, and it appears to not exist.Would this work OK? http://www.microdirect.co.uk/(25726)Qimond...RAM-memory.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 They bothered to make 133 DDR? I thought that was in the realms of SDram. If it is DDR then you should be fine with that Infineon 1gb module. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, that RAM you linked to should work fine for a desktop system (not laptop).Your motherboard may well go faster than 133, but you CPU probably won't go much higher. Depends what it is though.
