I have Vaio VGN-N250E. currently 1 GB RAM(512x2) is installed. I would like to upgrade it to 2 GB(1x2). When i check the specs on net about my current RAM. It says it should be PC2-4200, 533 MHz, DDR2 SDRAM. and for the upgrade you need the same spec. but to my surprise when i open up the RAM slot it is OEM HYNIX PC2-5300. :huh: check the pic.



Now I checked with phoenix for corsair value select VS1GSDS533D2 PC2-4200.

but he doesn't have it in stock. So is it ok to put VS1GSDS667D2 PC2-5300 :huh:

I know mobo will downclock 667 to 533. but will it same for PC2-5300 to PC2-4200 ?

Also suggest me any other brand.

Thanx
 
WhaaaaaaaaTT?!?! I did NOT know this! I was running around in circles for 533 Mz SO-DIMMS all this while!! And this I see literally MINUTES after I placed an order for 1gb of the PS@-4200 thingies :((

Hehe..now u do :P c if you can cancel, cos I believe nowadays that might even be more exp and difficult to source as well. Most common for laptop RAM right now is 667. Just plug it in and ur done :)
 
aite then i will get the corsair value select PC-5200 1GB x2 DDR2 RAM.

Thanx techie for clearing up.

Btw my HYNIX 512x2 MB RAM is on sale now . I will post it in market thread soon.
