Different Memory Speeds

by gurpreet . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

Hello Friends,

I have 2 laptops, Dell (E1505) and Toshiba (U205-S5058). Both of them have the FSB of 667 MHZ. However, the ram on both the laptops is 533 MHZ, 512 MB x 2 (1GB).

Now, I am thinking of upgrading the memory on both the laptops by buying 2 modules of 1 GB each, 667 MHZ, PC2-5300. Hence, each laptop will then have one 512 MB (533 MHZ) and one 1 GB (667 MHZ).

So, I would like to take some knowledge regarding the compatibility of using different memory speed on the same motherboard. Will this create any problem to use 533 MHZ in 1 memory slot and 667 MHZ on the other one?

Please let me know.

Thanks a bunch!

Gurpreet
