    What type of memory is factory installed on a Thinkpad R61i (77322MU) with the Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 1.83GHz

    The store says it has 1GB of RAM, but I'd like to know the speed, so I can purchase a matching stick of RAM.

    Is it PC2-DDR2-PC4200U or PC2-DDR2-PC5300U, or something else.

    I have not purchased the laptop yet.

    Is it the same as with the T61?
    Also, does it matter whether you get PC-5300 and PC-5400?

    Yes, it is the same with the T61.

    It doesn't matter whether you get PC-5300 or PC-5400, they are the same. It is just marketing BS to make the 5400 sound faster since they rounded up instead of down in the speed calculation. :)
