Okay, here is the thing...last year I ruined my motherboard while trying to upgrade the RAM, even though I "thought" I was being careful. I guess it wasn't pressed in all the way or something and it fried the motherboard. I built a new computer from scratch except for putting DVD burning back in and using the same case/PSU, and I never had any more problems with it. But now I am in a situation where I want to upgrade my laptop memory, but am a little afraid of ruining it like I did my desktop.
More importantly, I am wanting to know if I will have compatibility trouble because the additional 2Gb is 1333 and the I think the original is 1066. Does that speed difference make them unable to go in at the same time or will the 1333 clock down since the laptop is not supposed to be able to go over 1066.
Should I not chance it (keeping in mind it is a three year old laptop, so if it goes boom, I am not going to be up crying all night over it).
