    I would like to upgrade the ram on my AsusW3V but would like to know the recommended brand of ram to use and which brands to avoid. Right now I have my eye on getting a 1 Gig Sodimm 533Mhz.

    I have tried using the search function on the forum but when I type ram or RAM in the search box I get no results (I think search is broken)

    Thanks for your help in advance.

    no it will just downclock to the slowest ram. but you never know if you buy a new pc in the future you might them use the faster one. just better to buy the latest since its the same price.
