The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Yes you can, the higher clocked memory will simply downclock to pc4200 speeds.
    ddr2 667 = pc5300
    ddr2 533 = pc4200
    ddr2 memory, is backwards compatible, so you will be able to use pc5300 memory in your friends notebook.
