Does anyone know if PC3200 memory will work in T41p/T42p machine? The official specs are PC2700, but coming from desktop land, shouldn't PC3200 just slow down and work as PC2700?

Thanks!

are you sure? the 3200 ones and above are ddr2 i believe...does anyone know if the ones labeled ddr2 will still work?

DDR 2 is diffrent and will not work. Any speed DDR will work but anything faster than PC2700 (333 Mhz) is kind of a waste as the memory is only going to run at PC2700 speed.

yes PC3200 SODIMM works on T41/T42 but @ PC2700 (333 Mhz) speed.
you might gain better timings running PC3200 at PC2700, maybe CAS 2-3-3-6

that is REALLY not a good idea, ddr uses 2.5v while ddr2 uses 1.5v. I see big kaboome if you try that.

i'm not sure about laptops, but DDR2 memory and DDR are differnet number of pins and have the notch in a different place.
