Hello people,
A friend asked me to find him extra ram for his laptop but i have come to a stanstill.
He only sended me the ram type which is hynix 512mb 2rx16 pc2-5300s-555-12 .
He got an old laptop running xp and i proposed to get 1g extra ram since it's been running slow lately while browsing.
I had opened the laptop myself and the laptop does have 2 slots for ram of which only one is taken by then 512mb one.
I have been looking to get a Apacer 1GB DDR2-667MHz PC5300 SODIMM and i was pretty sure that it should work normaly.
Except the fact that the small ram will drag down the bigger ram due to the difference in mhz, one being 667 and other 555? ( or are those timings ? )
I read from a random post that someone had same ram like my friend's and when he tried to put a new 1g SO-dimm module it was actualy of different size ( very small difference but still there )
Is there something special about hynix rams ? Do i have to get same brand ? I thought that every single laptop had same physical size rams.
My knowledge around ram modules is not that good so i would appreciate any help i could get.
