    ive read here that some have used PC2-6400 on the m1710, but it will downclock to 667.

    ive tried some demo sticks of 2GB, 200-pin SODIMM, DDR2 PC2-6400 memory module http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT25664AC800

    with the result that:

    1. two lights blink, uppercase and scroll lock.
    2. then the system will not boot

    Probably wrong sort of ram, are there different PC2-6400 modules?
