I recently bought a Lenovo Thinkpad T510. I have 1 stick of:
2 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067MHz SODIMM Memory.
I'm plannin' to add another 2GB of memory to my laptop from Newegg, and was wondering if I can add:
2 GB DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600).
Would it cause any issues? I know the speed will stay at 1067, but in future when I add a 4 gb stick, I plan to add a 1333MHz stick. But, would it cause any problems?
It should be compatible with T510 because I had an option to upgrade it to:
4 GB PC3-10600 DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz SODIMM Memory
Any help or thoughts are more than welcome. Thanks

If you don't have an i5/i7 you can use the 1333mhz DDR3 but it will work at a downclocked rate of 1066, unless you have your system overclocked or something. It will basically match whatever the processor FSB speed is with the C2D's.

As long as u have DDR3 RAM which is 1066MHz or 1333MHz , u should have no problems... the 1333 one will downclock automatically to 1066 .... core i5 support max RAM speed of 1066MHz unlike core i7 which supports 1333Mhz...
