    I don't know much about RAM, so correct me if I am wrong.
    I heard that with Core Duo, it's better to use RAM with DDR2 667 config, since Core Duo's bus speed is also 667.
    However, I couldn't find many laptops with DDR2 667 built originally. Most of them come with the standard DDR2 533.
    Do you think it's a good idea to replace 533 with 667? Or maybe in the future？

    Go with whatever you find is the lease expensive, from a quality manufacturer. You will not likely notice or even be able to measure any difference between the 2.
