I'm looking to upgrade my ram because what came with my computer is inefficient. I know I need DDR2 ram. I'm going to get 512mb. That is what I do know. What I don't know though is if all of the other details matter. I realize there many be performance or quality differences among manufacturers, but I'm not asking about that. Example: on the net I found "
US Modular 512MB PC4200 DDR2 SODIMM Memory" what does PC4200 mean? is that standard? What does SODIMM mean? Is that important? What about where i see 533 Mhz? does that vary and do I need a certain Mhz? Thanks in advance.

just make sure you get like the rite size to fit your motherboard socket
and if you getting 512mb you should get 2 of the sticks of ram because 512mb wont get you much more speed or much more memory i mean it will show a diference but just keep the old ram and put in the new ram

You need 2 of the same kind and size (memory) of ram, so you would need two (2) 256mb DDR2 ram to make your 512mb or ram. Otherwise, it will not work correctly.

pc4200 means that the ram runs at 533mhz. the mhz depends on if your motherboard can support the speed.

SODIMM is the type, in this case, laptop
4200 is the speed rating, 533 is the clock speed

Go, for FREE to you local big box store and ask the tech the same questions. You don't have to buy - but their prices are competitive and you DO get a guarantee! Internet digital file leave me COLD!

Take out your old RAM, check your model and buy as same as the model with the higher spec.

get a free copy of cpu-z, and run it. click on the memory tab and it will show what type of memory, such as DDR. then click on the spd tab, and it will tell you exactly what memory you will need. it will say something like pc2700
