Re: Selecting laptop RAM ...speed & quality differences?
With today’s chipsets there is no direct relationship between memory and FSB speed.
Does HP offer PC2 6400? You probably need to talk to someone at HP or Crucial to see if the PC will actually use the 6400 at full speed. My educated guess is with the chipset you have it will use it at full speed.
I don’t have any experience with OCZ memory. Regardless of what brand of memory you buy run Memtest86+ overnight to verify that it is good.

| OK I got the new HP laptop with 2GB RAM in it. I also bought 4GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 RAM which I haven't installed yet.
This is the computer I got:
• HP Pavilion dv9700t customizable Notebook PC
• Upgrade to Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1 (64-bit)
• Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.50 GHz, 6 MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
• 17.0" WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1680 x 1050)
• 2GB DDR2 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 50% OFF 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS!!
• HP Imprint (Radiance) + Fingerprint Reader + Webcam + Microphone
• Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Network Connection and Bluetooth(TM)
• 240GB 7200RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (120GB x 2)
• LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
• No TV Tuner w/remote control
• High Capacity 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
• Microsoft(R) Works 9.0
1) Will the system info tell me what speed of RAM came installed with it?
2) How can I benchmark the performance of the current 2GB before I swap it out for the 4GB DDR2 PC-6400 that I bought, benchmark again, and compare?
thanks

Cpuz will tell you what your current (and future)memory speeds are and it doesn’t change the registry or scatter its files all over your system.
