All,
I was wondering if someone could help with a Memory Type issue? I have a ThinkPad A31p that uses PC2100 DDR SODIMM Memory, I know I can use PC2700 Ram on the System but Can I mismatch the ram on the system board ie:: us PC2100 in one slot and PC2700 / PC3200 in the other?

Thanks in advance - CES

What did IBM tech support say when you asked them?

What does the manual say? Generally the lowest speed one needs to be the first one installed, then the high speed one will run at the slower speed. But your manual will address your specific question.

On the A31P that should not be a problem.
There is a chart on the IBM site that shows you the mix and match
combos, there is one model, possibly a certain T40, that it says you
can not mix
