Added on January 29, 2009, 10:21 amsomehow everyone is in a panic saying that compaq can't install xp. for those asking, it is most probably that ur xp doesn't support native SATA 2.5" HDD. This will happen to ppl buying newer lappies with FreeDOS and manually install XP. This somehow cannot happen due to the not supported SATA 2.5" HDD under the XP installer. Verified this when trying to format friend's lappy (Dell Vostro something2) with 2.5" SATA inside the shell.

im planning to buy either kingston, corsair or aeneon PC2-6400 DDR2-800MHz .....
which one is the best brand for ram and if i buy a higher speed ddr2 ram (800mhz) will it improve my compaq cq40-115au performancE? does my notebook support higher speed ddr2?
just get any hi-performance and should be okay. btw, u probably need to change the stock ram. usually stock ram is only 667MHz or even 533MHz. cq40 should already support 800MHz.which one is the best brand for ram and if i buy a higher speed ddr2 ram (800mhz) will it improve my compaq cq40-115au performancE? does my notebook support higher speed ddr2?
