Upgrading my laptop
« on: January 16, 2007, 12:46:50 PM »
Hey guys I want to upgrade the RAM in my laptop and have some questions:

This is what my laptop uses:

Tech Specs
System TypeLaptop/Notebook

Logical Type 64x64
Speed PC2-5300 / 667 MHz
Description Standard SODIMM
Package Type DDR2 200-pin SODIMM


I went on dell and do not want to spend 97 bucks for a 512MB stick when I know I can get it cheaper. My question is:

Does all the tech specs need to read this? I come across alot of PC2-3200 / 333 MHz. Will this work?

For those who want to know i have a
Dell Inspiron E1505
Intel Core 2 T5500 @ 1.66 GHz (2gb max ram)
981 MHz/512 RAM

Please help...

www.crucial.com, input all of the info requested and you will see exactly what you need. Speed or whether it fits is NOT the deciding factor.

If price is the only thing that matters you may well get a surprise.  ;)

Just to be sure travel to crucial.com and enter your specs....they will tell you what can be used.

If you do use slower RAM the faster RAM will slow down to match speeds i believe.
