I have a compaq peserio 5740ap.
I would like to add more ram to my compaq computer.
So far compaq have said that my computer uses DDR266 PC2100 Non ecc DIMM Ram. I have looked around and found this site: http://www.memoryx.net/compres57ser16.html That has my computer Propities for ram. In australia you can't get your hands on DDR266 only DDR333.
Does anyone know would this work if I got the same propities but as DDR333?
