Hello, i'm looking to upgrade my RAM in my craptop but am a bit confused, one site says the maximum i can use is 2 lots of 512mb (200pin SO DIMM DDR2100 266MHZ) and another site says i can use 2 lots of 512mb but DDRPC2700 and 333mhz. This doesn't mean much to me, would both types be ok, i assume the 2700 333mhz wouldbe better? Cheers

The Mhz is just how quickly your computer can whizz data through the RAM. Obviously higher the number, the quicker it can process, and thus the better it is. If you did buy the 333Mhz stuff and your laptop was only capable of taking 266Mhz then the RAM would still work, but only at 266Mhz.
