Hello
I have a Turion TL-60 (Tyler) notebook and im thinking about upgrading RAM from 2GB ddr2-667mhz to 4GB ddr2-800mhz (as i know 65nm Turions, which I have, support 800Mhz RAM modules).
Then i found the page, which says that you get high performance only with the right memory.
link is here: Double Power, DDR2 Memory Controller, And Variable Memory Bandwidth
There is a table which shows the relationship between the utilized memory, the CPU model, and the resulting real memory clock rate. On the TL-60, the ddr2-667mhz memory module runs with its full clock rate, but the other modules dont.
So the question is, what would happen if I install 800mhz memory module into my notebook... would it just consume more power and wouldnt do any better performance, or would it really work faster (and how fast)? Is it better to buy 667mhz memory module? And also, would my ATI X1200 integrated graphic card work faster with 800mhz memory?
Thanks
