    I know some desktop mobos will just run the faster ram the slower ram speed you might also not get dual channel working but none the less give it a go.

    Your laptop will just have the ram run at a slightly slower speed.

    The difference should be not noticeable.

    However, even adding slower ram can still speed up some loading times like Winamp 5 and some windows applications.

    Now you will have 1gb of ram, and games like BF2 will definately appreciate it.

    You will be able to multi-task more effectively and smoothly.
