Will these RAM sticks work in my computer? (quick answer, please!)

LHC · Jan 18, 2006, 08:30 PM

In my litlte owner's manual thing, it said the RAM to use is PC2700. I am wondering if this RAM stick will work in my computer if it is PC3200.

Reason I need a quick answer is becuase $60 rebate expires tomorrow!

Thanks

That's what my friend said also, but I just wanted a second opinion

yep, DDR400 (PC3200) will work in your computer. All DDR RAM is backwards compatable... it will just be underclocked in your computer.

I just put a DDR400 SODIMM in my wife's laptop and her laptop only uses PC2100 (DDR266)
