Ok, I’ve got a laptop computer that runs PC2700 (333Mhz) ram. I constantly shop on Ebay for stuff, but I find that the more allowance your computer can make for you the better a deal you can get on a particular item not to mention end-up often with a better product.
Now I have studied a bit via Wikipedia on the topic and it says that even DDR2 can sometimes work on machines that come OEM with DDR since the concept is pretty consistent. I’m not trying to make such a large leap though- I’m just wondering if a computer for this situation that has a 400Mhz Fsb can handle PC3200 (400Mhz) memory.
I do understand that the computer quite possibly would never run the memory @ 400Mhz and instead might clock back the speed to 333Mhz, but if the memory is cheaper on Ebay this gives me a greater variety of memory to look into.
I really suspect that PC3200 should work, but there’s nothing like finding out the hard way that you took a gamble and lost.
So what do you computer folks think about this?
