    I just recently purchased this laptop which has 4 g of memory. I'm having a hard time finding out the speed of the memory. I'm thinking its either pc2 5300 or pc2 6400. If it does have the 5300, will the computer support 6400?
    The laptop has the X2 Ultra Dual-Core ZM-80 processer.
    Thanks for any help.

    I wonder why hp website does not show the speed of memory with other specs. Thanks Lithus. Thats cool if the computer has the pc2 6400, but i would like to find out were it maybe stated for my own reference; without opening up the back. If it doesnt have pc2 6400 it would be nice if i new the computer supported it by reference also. Thanks for any help.

    Yes, the puma platform supports up to DDR2-800mhz

    You can download CPU-z and view the full specs of the current RAM modules installed.
