Hiya peeps
Recently i jus bought the acer aspire 5562 lappy...
It's with a 512MB ram...
so i hope to upgrade it into 1Gb...
And wondering wat brand should i buy...
Seeking help...!!!
Anyone?

kingston value ram

Yeap.I have some friends using Kingston value Ram,and it works fine.

Kingston Value RAM should work fine... if it is a 5562 I think it should be DDRII 533 SODIMM

Owh ok...But then the price?
Actually i was planning to buy it during next month's PC Fair...
Saving ammo now...lol

Won't be able to save much.
Its about 180RM for one.

OT: when is the next pc fair? actual date? thanks.

i bought this 5562 too...!

i add 512 Kingston ddr2 ram - price RM190

did your unit come with recovery CD?

14-16april, klcc

Are there 667Mhz RAM available at all for Core Duo? I heard the RAM they provide is 533 MHZ, when the Core Dou can run at 667MHz. If there is, roughly how much would it cost for a single 1GB 667MHz soDIMM RAM?

just a question
since core duo is running at 677 fsb the 533 memory would work on dividers rite?
or does the cpu reduce their fsb to match to ram speed thus lowering the clock rate

hmmm... can't answer that... it's the thing i'm worried that the cpu would reduce fsb to match the ram speed...

same...
333 x 5 = 1.66
266 x 5 = 1.33....
if it reduce the fsb ><

or 5:4
333 : 266

anyway timing for 533 ram is 4-4-4 while 677 ram is 5-5-5 >< it gets more confusing
tighter timing results in higher speed

yup, it would require a higher multiplier as you mention... but the core speed of the RAM does affect the performance doesn't it? If not, why people don't use the like 233 MHz RAM now anymore?

intel gains his speed with high fsb ram rather than tight timing

well if core duo runs at 667fsb, u hv to check intel/laptop manufacturer website whether their 945gm supports 667mhz ram

yes, the laptop definately supports 667MHz, it's even advertised as so, problem is, there are not 667MHz RAM modules sold around, as far as I have heard, that's why i'm asking if anyone knows any dealer selling, and what's the price...

The ram u upgrade from the shop u bought the lappy?
U see...below the lappy there's some sticker from acer stating tat warranty void if seal is broken...
Btw mine is come with recovery cd...
I ask the shop bout this first thing first

but my question still not answered anyone with core duo laptops can answer
if u put 677 fsb processor with ddr2 533 ram(266mhz) does the laptop run in dividers or lowered clock rate

yes defintely run with divider, same applies to compaq m2251 (turion)

turion has 200htt, but their mobo only support ddr333 ram

i mix new Kingmax DDR2 533 in Acer celeron that selling at RM2199..detect with cpu-z.the ram donwclock to DDR400 coz the another ram given by Acer is DDR2 400MHz

sigh, that sucks... too bad there isn't any 667Mhz RAM modules around... I saw that upgrade available in Dell, but it's quite expensive... Strange thing is if you up grade to 1 GB (single) RAM module you'll need to add RM700+, but if you upgrade 2 sticks of 1GB RAM module each, it'll only cost RM30+ more on top of the 1GB RAM price...

Anyway,besides kingston value RAM and kingmaxx RAM,what else is suitable for acer?
