    I am wondering if that would effect the system in a bad way. The 5300 and 5400 are both 667

    On this topic I would also like to know if it's worth getting 4GB of either DDR2 PC2-5300 or DDR2 PC2-6400 for an m15x? I know one is 667mhz and the other is 800mhz so on paper the 6400 is better, but I don’t know whether there will be any noticeable difference???
