Current setup:
■Samsung R520 laptop
■Intel Pentium T4300 @ 2.10GHz
■Two memory slots: 1 empty, other has 2Gb Samsung M470T5663QZ3-CF7 PC2-6400S-666-12-E3 (CL=6)
■Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (no plans to change OS)
1) Which options are likely to be incompatible? Which is likely to be fastest?
a. Replace CL6 sodimm with 2 so-dimms that are CL=5
b. Replace with 2 same-brand so-dimms (CL=6)
c. Add 1 so-dimm that is CL=5
d. Add 1 so-dimm (CL=6)
Assume everything matches the current so-dimm, unless stated.
2) If I try option 1.c, would it just work at the slower latency (CL=6)?
3) Since 32-bit Windows only addresses 3 Gb, wouldn't it work just as well to add a 1Gb sodimm?
4) Which is likelier to have compatibility problems:■Samsung M470T5663FBC-CF7 PC2-6400S-666-12-E3, or
■Crucial CT25664AC800
Both are DDR2 6400 with CL=6.
Thanks in advance.
