    If they seem the same, you should be able to use it. They wort that could happend is your computer won't boot.

    I have talked with a HP agent, he says my unit is compatible with PC2700. But what I got is PC2100

    I am just wondering if 512M PC2700 + 512M PC2100 is better than one 512M PC2700 :)

    you will loose speed (a computer is only as fast as its slowest part) but you will gain stability. being able to run more programs at once is a big improvement. Ive had both in a notebook and a gig is a big improvement. improves battery life too. (writes some swap/temp files to the ram insted of spinning up hd)
