1333 ram in notebook that takes 667?

[diznanl]

I have this computer:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115655

only has 2gb of ram and I have the opportunity to pick up 2x2gb Kingston ValueRAM 1333MHZ

Will this work in my laptop?

Thanks,
Dan

U should get only 1 of them, try to match the brand model .... @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007609%20600006176%20600000407%20600000441&IsNodeId=1&name=DDR2%20667%20%28PC2%205300%29

Straight from acer.com (just to make sure newegg is correct):
Dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM support with up to 2 GB of DDR2 667 MHz memory, upgradeable to 4 GB using two soDIMM modules

So sounds like just like nikorr said, the RAM needs to be 2x200-Pin DDR2 667 MHz and can be up to a 2x2GB.
If you have x64bit OS(according to newegg, you do), then I would suggest upgrading to a 2x2GB kit.

I think but I am not sure the 1333 MHz set will just be automatically underclocked by the motherboard to 667. Dont quote me on that because if that is not the case then the RAM will flat out just not work along with the rest of the notebook and you will just have wasted money. Someone else could probably set record straight on what will happen.

Hey all -- Looks like my computer only supports DDR2 ... the ram I was interested in was only $10 from a local, private party, but is DDR3. Thanks for the help!
