    I'm about to buy a Compaq V2000Z and I had a couple questions about the RAM. I configured it for 256MB since I was going to purchase some extra memory seperate, so I was wondering a) what speed the RAM that it comes with is and b) can i put DDR400 RAM in it? Thanks!

    Nope, wont work. 184 pin DIMM shows that it is a desktop RAM. For the V2000z you"ll need to use 200pin DDR SODIMM's like these...
