RAM Upgrade on Compaq Evo n610c
Hi,
The scenario is as follows:
1. I have a 1x512 Hynic DDR-333 PC2700 SODIMM laying around the house.
2. My friend saw this and asked me if he could have it installed on his laptop.
3. I googled said laptop and found that memory upgrades for it are DDR-266 PC2100 (Manufacturer site)
4. I also saw same laptop on Crucial's site that it can take DDR-333 PC2700.
5. I told him to play it safe and not install it.
6. He's calling me again now and asking me if he could just try it.
7. I told him that I'd ask some knowledgeable people about this matter.
What's the worst that could happen if he installs it on his laptop and it doesn't actually accept said speed?
I'll provide more details as I get them. Thanks in advance.
