I was just thinking about upgrading the RAM in my grt360 from the standard 512 and I was just wondering if it is worth paying the extra money for 333 mHz RAM or if I would be fine sticking to 133.

O yeah, since it would probably be useful to know, I use my laptop to do a lot of gaming and I'm a pretty heavy multitasker.

It's too bad both slots are filled with 256 RAM and not one slot with one stick so to get 1 gig I have to replace both. I guess I haven't looked at it yet, but I think thats how it's configured anyway. I would be great if someone told me I'm wrong.

Yes, you will have to buy two new sticks to get from 512MB to 1GB, the GRT has two memory slots available for expansion. Sounds like you could benefit from 333MHz RAM, the faster stuff moves in and out of memory the better if you're gaming/multitasking.

um i belive ur lapy has DDR ram and you cant jsut switch 333 mhz with 133 mhz. Usauly the 333 stich are DDR and 133 is usauly SRD. make sure you buy the right type, i belive you have DDR, but make sure.
