I need to order some more memory for my daughter's laptop, it's a Compaq Presario v5000, according to the label affixed to the underside of the unit. However, everything I've seen online, indicates that this model ought to have an AMD-based cpu. However, cpu-z insists that it has a Celeron M 420 (1.46 GHz)!
At any rate, all I really want to do is give her machine more memory. Cpu-z says it's currently got two 256MB modules, each rated as DDR2 @ 266 MHz, with a max bandwidth of PC2-5300 (333 MHz).
Does it matter what speed memory chips I put in this laptop? I was planning on just putting in a single 1 GB, and noticed that the old, slower memory is quite a bit more expensive than the newer ones. Is the voltage the only thing I really need to worry about?

I've now triple-checked, the label DEFINITELY says it's a "Presario v5000" (no trailing 't' or 'z' or anything else), and it's definitely a celeron. The laptop still has one of those retarded "Intel Inside" stickers on it.
Presario v5000 confusion...
