T43 - T21 memory

#1 Post by wgg » Wed Jul 14, 2010 10:18 am

Hey,
I was wondering if I would be able to use the RAM from my T21 in my T43?

I'm not 100% sure but will tell you that it's a horrible idea! The T43 operates on a 533mhz clock speed and the T21 operates on 100mhz. Do you see where I'm going with this? To take advantage of your T43's speed stick with the PC4200 or PC5300 DDR2 RAM.

Also, they will not even physically fit, unless you use the good old sledge hammer. :wink:
