    I have a loptop by the name AcerExtanza 4620 with FSB 533 MHz, and 1GB of 533MHz DDR2 is slotted in it. I wanna add 1GB of 667 and if so , will Dual Channel feature be possible? I chose DDR2 667 because of it's cost :) and rare achievement of DDR2 533. Help me and Reply please

    Thanks.

    I beleive it is, but will run both modules at the frequency of the lower card (533 MHZ) for dual channel.

    Greg is correct but in your case the FSB will cause it run at 533Mhz even with 2x667Mhz in there. So buy the 667Mhz if cheaper.
