Hey guys a quick A31/A31p RAM question.......

[smw6230]

Can I put two stic's of PC2 4200 in a A31/31p?

2gb limits should be ok as that is max on the A3X's. I think the A3x line is supposed to use 2700 but wouldn't the 4200 automatically downclock to 266 MHz?

If so then I should be ok, right?

Quick answer... no. PC2-xxxx (i.e., DDR2) will not fit inside the A31p. It requires just DDR (sometimes called DDR1) modules. And yes, installing 'faster' modules will downclock to the PC2100 timing (266Mhz).

Thanks for the quick response looking at all the various types of RAM sometimes get confusing.
