CF-5o Memory upgrades? is DDR2 compatible?

Hi, I've just recently bought a CF-50 and was wondering if the 2 Gb DDR-2 SODIMM 200pin memory was compatible as an upgrade in my laptop RAM ? Or should I stick to the 1GB DDR?
Thanks arch240

Note: If what I asked seems obvious to you, then please explain it to me in noob baby talk, thank you again

 

DDR2 will NOT work with DDR, this has been discussed before, search before you start a new thread.

If you are running XP, the upgrade from 1GB to 2GB will make very little difference.

 

As he stated, he is a noob. A simple no, DDR2 is not compatible with DDR would have sufficed. I was a noob once too and didn't feel too good about being slammed with retort like that either..

Just my 2 cents..

 

I'm sorry if it sounded rude, it wasn't meant be.

 

That is very admirable of you! Rep for you for clarifying!

 

Thank you for answering my question,
I did in fact read the thread about the DDR and DDR2 , but gave it up after having read the first page because people were still arguing whether it would work or not by testing it on their own laptops.
I maybe straying form the topic but does anyone have any ideas in what would be upgradeable in a CF-50? I know that a larger hard drive and bigger memory would help in its performance, but what else would help? I don't even know what the specs are in this case. I know I want to put something in the empty ?PCMCIA? slots that it has, I was thinking something that would help in on the graphics side? and any suggestions would be great!

Note: Yet again please reply in Noob baby talk

 

What is your exact model number?

 

I don't exactly know where to look but all ithas written on it is
CF-50
CF50JAKUJKM512
4HMTA02084
A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
B 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

Sorry, I can't be much of a help

 

Hey there Arch - welcome to the Forum. I dunno if you saw my post on the subject here:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=209651&page=3

but for those reasons, DDR2 is NOT compatible with DDR - it won't even plug into the same slot. If you're using DDR already, there's your answer. If not, you can find out for sure by using any of a dozen memory configurators on the WWW (I usually misuse the one on www.memory4less.com myself) to see what is the recommended type/speed/max capacity for your laptop - as long as you go with a reputable supplier or even a major manufacturer site you should be able to get the details you seek; you may even find a price you like. If not, don't feel bad about taking what you've learned and shopping elsewhere - other people buy from them by doing the same thing on other sites.

I usually buy RAM , processors & Hard drives from Newegg if they have what I want; they are typically within 5$-$10 of the cheapest price I can find, and their customer service is as close to a brick & mortar as you can find on the WWW. The only issue is you have to KNOW exactly what you need before you buy.

Good luck,

mnem
