    T2050 have FSB 533 mghz definitely but I'm doubt that what's the correct clock of RAM that I should get.. DDR2-533 or DDR2-667??

    Could somebody please help me..? Thanks

    DDR2-533. DDR2-667 will work, it will just downclock itself to 533. You could use either one and it wouldn't matter. Some places are actually selling 667 at a cheaper price than 533, so I'd be inclined to purchase whichever costs less.

    You wouldn't see any noticable difference between the two, so yes, just about the same.

    The difference would be that most likely the 667 has a higher CAS latency than the 533; that would be a reason to get the 533.
