RAM x31 2672

[Steen]

Can this be used in a X31 2672: KVR333X64SC25/1G (Kingston product number).

I know this much about it:

Kingston ValueRAM
1GB 333MHz DDR Non-ECC CL2.5 SODIMM

Detailed Specifications: Standard 128M X 64 Non-ECC 333MHz 200-pin Unbuffered SODIMM (SDRAM-DDR, 2.5V, CL2.5, Gold)

yes that'll work

I have an Kingston 512MB Value Ram in my X31 works like an charm, planning on getting an 1GB chip soon.

I have just ordered an X31 from IBM EPP. I started looking in the HMM, and noticed that there are two different speeds of DDR modules shipped with the X31 depending on model.

I have ordered X31 2672-CXU, which is originally spec'd with PC2100 RAM. Will PC2700 or PC3000 be recognized in this model?? The machine ships with only 256MB, so I will be replacing both modules.

Thanks for the insight

Will PC2700 or PC3000 be recognized in this model?

You should be able to use PC2700, but according to the tabook for models that shipped with PC2700 memory - "memory controller limits memory speed to 266MHz."

yep definately!

I only use pc2700 chips in my x31 and they work flawlessly, but ofcourse only at pc2100 speeds.

Thanks for that, guys. I realize that it will only perform at PC2100 speeds, but with the price of memory, good to futureproof myself and possibly use these modules for a later machine.
