I am thinking of upgrading the ram in my laptop. it has 256k in it and i think that it is a pc2100 module that operates at 266 megahertz.
The computer has an empty slot, so i can add a module easily. My question is does the new ram have to be the same speed as the original? it is a 200 pin slot and this is in a hp ze4805 pavilion. It has xp home. would xp pro speed it up enough to be worth the expense?
thanks

Jump to PostYou should be able to use PC2700 or PC3200 RAM in it, although the faster module will only operate at the speed of the slower one. You may find incompatibilities between different modules, so it's best to have an agreement with the vendor so that you can return it if …
Jump to PostXP Home will NOT speed things up. It's the same OS as XP Home, but with some extra features added.
This statement brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department. ;)
Mean to say XP Pro won't be any faster than Home, perhaps?
