Hi,
I have a 1 Gb DDR1 400 SO-DIMM (pc-3200s) memory module from Kingston, on which is written 2,6 V.
(Reference : KVR400X64SC3A/1G)
On the RAM slot of my ThinkPad T42 is written : 2,5 V.
I read here and there that voltage is important.
The voltage required by the Kingston module is only 4 % higher than thus written on the RAM slot.
Can I use this memory module without risk, or could the small voltage difference lead to unstability, freezes, a.s.o ?
RAM voltage : 2,6 V in a 2,5 V slot ?

Quite possibly it will not work (not because of the voltage).
The T42 takes PC2100 or (best) PC2700 RAM.
Some PC3200 RAM is backwards compatible but not all!
