| Replace Ram?
I was debating putting some faster ram in my laptop, but I think it just default to the FSB speed of the processor. Is that true? I went to crucial and they said that either PC5300 or PC6400 DDR2 Ram would fit. Currently I have a 1GB and a 2GB sticks of RAM from different companies in there.

  BA The Old Man's Gonna Roll the Hard Six Premium,MVM join:2001-05-24 Vancouver, BC clubs:  | It makes no difference. Timings and frequency are identical for both modules. |
