[QUOTE="chezzrob, post: 1708203, member: 221929"] It was an ACER that made me write this note. RAM for laptops =========== Its best, for laptops, to remove your existing ram stick and take it to the store and buy new ram rated exactly at the same speed. Buying new ram that is backward compatible is not advisable, as in some laptops the power supply can be stretched and the ram not work efficiently at a lower speed than it is rated at. So if you can, buy ram at the same speed as the laptop specification.. eg have 1 x 512 pc3200 RAM recommend to buy 2 x 1 gig pc3200 sticks. Also in laptops disconnect the battery before removing the ram. [/QUOTE]
