hi..
guys.would like to ask about this ram
Size 4GB Dual Channel, Gold Leads, 2x2GB
Speed PC2-5300 667MHZ (Not overclocked)
Type DDR2, High Quality Grade Memory for Dell Laptops

where i can buy performance ram for my laptop m1730 ?
what i can find in ebay,all stock ram.LOL

What ram actually is that.. 'High Quality Grade Memory for Dell Laptops' ?

your XPS based 965PM, so the highest mem. speed it runs is 667mhz Max.
although if you go for pc26400s-800mhz, it'll still downclocks to 667mhz.

So, the best option you can pick is,
go for low-latency ddr2 sodimm, aka tight timings.
there are 2gb stick sodimm 667mhz rated @cl4
get 2 sticks of them and run it @ 2x2gb dual channel 667mhz cl4.

normal ddr2 sodimm-667, is rated @ cl5
so the LL kit with cl4 will have higher bandwidth thus better performance.
but do note that, the performance difference between both is very minimal.

ouh..so,r u saying upgrade my ram not worth every cent of my money ?
no point for me to change the ram because the diff only at minimum point rite ?

dude p965 supports only 667mhz rams..

so having a performance ram not worth it..
but if u want.. u can order from cycom
for kingston hyperx pc2-6400 sodimm

thats what i see..so in my prob,i can upgrade it to 4g only la..
hurm..
no other choice.anyway,thanks for yaw advise aite.

wah upgrade ram pulak. for vista just upgrade to 4gb jer. 800mhz, 1000mhz.. cannot la. laptop ko bukan untuk OC. beli PC la kalau nak OC.

lol.
aku tgh kerja ni.haha
tapi...connection sini power.wifi.
siap boleh dota online lagi haha.
aku buat OpenGL.LOL

yea, you can go for the hyperX if you'r rich enough & want the best out of it.
using xps m1730, shouldn't be any problem with $$$ lar

here u go, the low-latency 4gb kit
kingston hyperX KHX5300S2LLK2/4G
pre-programmed JEDEC @ 667mhz 4-4-4-12 , so just slot it in it'll auto-runs at that profile without any tweaks.

normal sodimm-667 runs at 5-5-5-15.

--how much the hyper-X ram? got big different with the normal one?

already answered on post above.
however it does shows a solid few hundreds MB/s of increment in bandwidth through everest benchmark.

i dunno bout the price, but i can say it's surely much more expensive if compared to value sodimms.
(but if don't compare, then it's not really that expensive lar.. since all ram ddr2 ram price drop kao kao! )
