RAM upgrade for X41 (Not Tablet)

#1 Post by nchall » Mon Feb 23, 2009 2:13 pm

Anyone know if this will work:

Kingston 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop Memory

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820134549

I know it is limited to 2GB by the chipset. Just curious if this speed is backwards compatible.

Thanks for your help.

It's a hit or miss on T43/R52/X41...works on some machines and not on the others. 2GB stick, that is.

As for the speed, it is backward compatible, your machine will clock the RAM down to 533Mhz.

Update:

It worked!

Highly recommended upgrade because for less than $20 it effectively doubled my RAM to 2GB. Shame that it can't use that last .5GB but who am I to complain.
