I am not really good with computers sorry.
My laptop has only 2G of RAM, so i decided to buy 2 G more. I brougtht this http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-CT256...Laptop/dp/B000F7QRTG/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top so I can take 1G out and put the 2G in so i have 3 G.
From cpuz it says my laptop use PC2-5300 (333Mhz) rams in both slots. So will what I brought work?
what if the 1G in slot 1 is slower speed than the 2G in slot 2? ( 333Mhz compared to 667Mhz).
Thank you.
 
PC2-5300 runs at 667Mhz. I am sorry if I am misunderstanding your question, but it looks like what you are reading in cpu-z is the data rate: 333Mhz.

Since it is ddr2 ram, it's actual (or effective) speed would be 667Mhz. (333 X2)

Hope that helps.
