Hi,
Is it possible to run Kingston HyperX soDIMM PC2-5300 667 MHz Low-Latency CL4 RAM in a T7400 Lenovo mobo (FSB 667 MHz) like the one in my Z61p?

most high-quality 667MHz SODIMMs are timed 5-5-5-12 and the kingston hyperX SODIMMS appear to be timed 4-4-4-12. since the tRAS numbers are the same (12), i doubt you'll ever notice a difference.
in my opinion it would be a waste of money.
you can read more about latency numbers here:

Yup, I´ve just wasted 15 €
Now I feel bad, but, you know, those 4 GBs looked so nice... (I know, I know I can´t utilize all 4 GB with my Z61p)
Cheers
