I have an Acer 5052 NWXmi laptop. Currently I have 1 GB DDR2-533/PC2-4200 CL 4 and 512 mb DDR2-533/PC2-4200-444-12-A2 2rx16 200 PIN (CL 4 as well I guess).

My laptop came with 512 mb mentioned above and later I added a 1 GB RAM now its 1.5 GB RAM

I saw I can upgrade up to 4 GB and now I want to buy two 2 GB DDR2-667/PC2-5300 while looking through Internet I found one 2 GB with 3-4-5 CAS Latency

Can I go for it cause mine is 4-4-4 CAS L? and what is the Max speed I can go for, like 667 or 800 MHz or I should only use 533 MHz? below I gave the details of my laptop RAM, Mother board and CPU.

I would think so, could you link me to a site with your laptop on it? To me it seems as if the slots can only support 266 Mhz(Or DDR2-533) . Try googling it some more. Good luck!

Here's the link http:// to my laptop Aspire 5052NWXmi.

I think it is showing 266 MHz cause of 1 GB and 512 MB RAM I am using. In specification it says RAM type DDR2-533.
