    Hi all,

    I would like to upgrade my Sony Vaio FS 640/W, from 512 MB PC2700, DDR, 333MHz (Infineon) to 1 Gighz PC3200, DDR 400MHz (Kingston).

    My questions is:

    1. Is new Memory(Kingston) compatible with the Vaio(FS 640/w) I had?
    2. Should I stick with the PC2700 333 Mhz ?
    3. How about brand compatibility?

    P/s: I knew that the 400Mhz, will automatically downgrade itself to 333Mhz if I install it in the laptop, but my biggest worry is, is it compatible?
    Besides, the price between the PC2700($20 more) than PC3200.
    So, I would need some opinion about it, should I go for quality, or Cost?

    Please Help

    Thank you

    Voon
