Well I feel sorry for all the people that the last guy has given bad information to. PC2-5300 and PC2-5400 are the exact same thing, just labeled differently. Both are 667Mhz RAM. The number afterward is theoretical bandwidth, which is calculated by taking the Mhz speed and multiplying by 8. This gives you 5336. Some companies round up, some round down, that is why there is a difference in naming. But the two are the exact same thing, so yes it will be compatible.

a more suitable speed RAM like 5400 could be backwards properly suited to run at 5300 speed. basically as long because it remains DDR2 PC2. Your pc could help greater than 5300, yet until you eliminate that and put in the recent 5400 purely it incredibly is going to nevertheless run on the decrease.
