    I'm shopping for more RAM for my W3V.. it is the PM 1.86ghz version which comes with one 512 DDR2 4200.

    On Crucials website it says the W3V supports 667.. is this true, anyone know?

    Also, if I threw in a 5300 with my 4200 RAM, will the 5300 downspeed? Eventhough the timings/latency #s are different?

    Is the 5300 worth the leap from 4200?

    The W3j supports 667, the max a W3v can do is 533mhz SoDimm RAM sticks.
