    my acer 5100 turion mk-38 came with 2 sticks of 512 ddr2 533 mhz pc2 4200 memory. i would like to upgrade to 2-1gb sticks of ram. they say my laptop can take either the 533mhz or the 667mhz speed. would it be fine to use the 667mhz over what came with the unit (533mhz) ? or should i just stay with the 533mhz ? any over heating problems with going with the 667mhz ? thanks in advance for any help. DJ

    You'll be just fine with the 667MHz ram, no problems.
