    This is some information I got off a website for my laptop (Sony Vaio VGN-FS760W)...
    Installed RAM 512 MB
    RAM Technology DDR2 SDRAM
    Max Supported RAM 2048 MB
    RAM Speed 400 MHz
    Installed Cache Memory 2048 KB

    I've read the Notebook Memory (RAM) Guide by 'Pulp' and I figured I need some DDR2-400 PC3200, though I don't see many places carrying them (lol). I checked out the Kingston website ( http://www.kingston.com/) and it said it supported my laptop with DDR2-533 memory only and if paired with the original system memory, DDR2-400, the Kingston memory will clock down to synchronize with the slower memory. With that said, would it be better to remove the OEM memory and replace it with all DDR2-533 RAM?

    By the way, just to make sure, I'm assuming these following RAMs will effectively work:

    Thanks everyone.
