    I assume that the standard memory in the N3510 is 200-pin,
    DDR2 PC2-3200 @ 400MHz - is that right?

    Will the memory in this notebook run @ 533MHz if I upgrade
    it to PC2-4200 @ 533MHz - I assume it won't. This is
    just like the Dell I6000 if that is the case.

    The only reason I ask is that these 2 memory types are about
    the same price, so I might as well buy the faster one.
    Will it even be compatibile?

    I definitely want to run matched modules. Please advise.

    About $65 for Kingston 512MB PC2-4200.

    finally got to it [ :p]
    have a look here: http://www.notebookreview.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13282&SearchTerms=n3510

    I expect that 533Mhz modules will operate with no problem. I have no idea how dell managed to disallow/screw up 533MHz on their i6000 line! [V] the chipset supports it, and the Bios SHOULD too.

    I am currently running out of spec rams on my laptop 400 instead of 333 and they work fine, so i guess fujitsu doesn't try to limit options.

    N6010: P4M 3.2G, 1GB Dual 400MHz, 60GB 7200RPM, ATI 9700M, 17" WXGA+

    Dell evidentally does this so there high end notebook, the I6000,
    doesn't compete with the higher end models that don't have
    the 400MHz memory, they have full 533 - the I9300 and X model
    notebooks. Marketing stupidity I guess.

    I have the N3510 and I am using PC2-4200 @ 533MHz. It is working with no problems at all. So there is no reason to wonder if it will work or not. I have proven that it works.
