sure sir... im using this old NEO Q-NOTE M3s model 1.3 Pentium M... second hand nani nako... akong glukat sa ahensya kay na remate naman... just bought it for 15 complete with everything(bag and installers)...

what i heard from some professional pc/laptop technician... if the mobo is supporting DDR 266/333... unya gamitan nimo ug DDR400... dili magamit gyud ang full frequency na DDR400... only DDR333...and the machine would work fine...

im not sure of this because im not a professional pc/laptop technician... but ni take lang sad kog risk... total ang laptop na akong gta-uran is karaan naman... second hand... no risk of voiding the warranty because im not the first owner of the laptop... in fact i bought the RAM from an ISTORYAN KE-25... nice kaayo ka deal kay he is willing to let me test it to my laptop without completing the purchase of the said memory module

pero para mas mka sure si SIR ashrock... test it before completing the purchase...

none taken sir!

[ashrock]

point taken bro, anyway if that's the case no problem to me. i'm using a 2nd hand laptop also, it's a compaq presario 2800, 1.8Ghz Pentium 4M. I'll text you next week kay out of town pa man sad ko ron, this sunday pa ko ma uli.Thanks sa info bro!

One thing i would clarify diay, once i put this DDR-400 256MB SODIMM sa akong laptop, dili ni mo complicate sa akong isa ka DDR-266 256MB nga naka taud na sa akong laptop?

Everyone refer to this: http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.aspx?qid=4003

Although these are all types of double data rate (DDR) memory, the varying numbers refer to the different speeds of memory your computer was designed for. Crucial no longer carries PC2100 (DDR266) memory, but PC2700 (DDR333) memory and PC3200 (DDR400), which are backward-compatible with PC2100 (DDR266).

They keyword is "backward-compatible."

Hope that enlightens everyone.
