My mother in-law has a Compaq SR5214x. It currently has (2) 512mb 1Rx8 PC2 - 5300U. Will this work? What is diff in 5300 vs 6400 ram, just speed?

Most memory is backwards compatible meaning the 6400 will run at 5300 if that is all your computer will do.

Generally that is true, but if you mix the speeds, the PC will use the lowest one.

My suggestion is to go to the merchandiser Crucial Ram.They have a program which analyses your computer and will tell you what types of RAM are compatible. In general though my rule of thumb is that if it fits properly in the slot it will work (ie the computer will recognize the extra RAM)but that doesn't mean if your run a benchmark test before and after the installation that it will speed your computer up. The computer will default to the speed of the slower RAM.

Answer is yes. It is compatable because PC2-6400's are FASTER than PC2-4200's thus they would run and actually perform more reliably than the 4200's

Computers always work best if you use pairs, rather than using one module at a time. Whatever you buy, buy two modules, not one.That being said, this should work for the laptop that you posted. Get the 2x512mb. The motherboard you have maxes at 1gb of ram, and only has two memory slots, so the 2x512mb should work fine. I bought the same ram from Komputerbay well over 18 months ago, and it's worked beautifully. Komputerbay is a good company to buy from.

You would need to check the memory requirements for that HP. Can look on manufacture website. Make sure the memory is within specification. In this case, DDR2 and 533mhz

I placed this memory in a MacBook and went from 2Gb 4Gb. It works well. I do not know anything about the B540 compatibility question but usually increasing RAM will improve performance if your applications are over-taxing your current set-up. The processor has a lot to do with it as well, certainly where speed is concerned.

pc2-5300F is ECC RAM most commonly used in Server Mobo's. Does your pc intel call for PC2 5300F? If not this RAM will not work, and will not fit either. http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/311582-difference-between-pc2-5300f-and-pc2-5300p-memory

i ordered a 2GB upgrade built by Hynix from Amazon today. I will update you with success/failure situation in a week or so...2GB DDR2 RAM PC6400 800MHz 200PIN SODIMM by Hynix...actually derives from OEMPCWorld...Hynix and Unifosa are two brands of ram purportedly supported by ASUS

No the maximum for the Compaq CQ60 is 3GB unfortunately, you can get a 1 GB and add it will help just make sure it is 667Mhz DDR2. There are 4 different models of the CQ60 but I think all are the same for memory size and speed

This would actually be PC2-4300 or DDR2 4300 533.To break it down is simple--DDR=Double Data Rate----2=second generation(the first being DDR)---4300=4300K(thousand)Bytes per second (the memory stick can pick up 4.2Gigabytes of information per second.533 is the front bus speed(533Mhz).If your computer processor runs at 266MHz the Memory Sticks(also known as RAM=Random Access Memory)will Double this speed(DDR=Double Data Rate).In short,the RAM(Random Access Memory)picks up information 4.2Gb/per second--stores it until the program you are running needs the info....then retrieves more pulls it up as the program needs it. Hope this helps.

all i did was. i had (1) 512mb and added (1gb) to the other slot works for me but the best way to do that is get 2i have 1.5 gb now. computers work by the power of 2 -- so if you have 128+ 128 =256 or 256+256 =512512+512=1gb not all computers are picky some time you can like me 512+1gb and it works but other computers some time the power of 2 is the way you have to go

you have to be a bit more specific. are you asking the question so that you can find out what type of RAM to get for this laptop? if yes then this type of ram will work in this laptop Kingston ValueRAM 4GB 1600MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM SR x8 Notebook Memory (KVR16S11S8/4) also any ram thats ddr3 and 1600 mhz will work. you don't have to buy that specific one i just pasting it to give you and idea of what will work. hope that helps

Should work as Akshay said. But to be sure download the free system scanner from crucial.com, that's what I did and just copied and pasted the ram type and compared prices here on amazon.

Yes, you're on the right path. When purchasing RAM you need the same type that comes within your laptop or Desktop. Brand name is your choice.Memory:PC3-8500/10600 DDR3 SODIMM 204-Pin memoryMaximum Memory: 8GB Slots: 2

DDR2 is the same as PC2 when it comes to memory modules. This should work just fine depending on what you already have installed. Remember memory is installed in pairs.
2151251
Jae, you have to check the computer specifications to see if the motherboard will accept DDR2 RAM PC2-5300.
1782071
I think so since they are both 1333 and ddr3, but open it up to make sure your machine has the extra slot open. Other than that, it should work. Be aware that if your machine maxes out at 8 gb like many laptops this is not for you. You would be better off getting a 4gb stick.

Another pleasant surprise (in my case - no pun intended) is that my HP Pavilion's memory actual meets the PC2-5300 specs, so runs faster than advertised (PC2-4200). Luckily, when I upgraded to 4GBs, I installed a pair of 1GB PC2-5300 memory modules. Again, only 3.25GB is addressable in a 32bit machine, but this particular upgrade should increase your PEI (for Memory) a tenth or two.
