I am not planning on running my system with memory faster than it can support. My system supports up to 2GB of RAM, but some say it will support 4GB of RAM. My system can only hold 1 GB in every slot (2 slots total) and some say it will hold 2GB in each slot. What i want to do is to try placing 2GB of RAM in 1 slot and see if 2GB in 1 slot is supported, i also want to see if my system can hold 2x2GB modules.
The problem is that my system supports 667Mhz memory and probably stores won't have such memory there and more likely to have at least 800Mhz or better yet 1066Mhz.
Can i test this with higher speed memory modules? I know my system might be unstable and hang however so i will never be able to test this for long period. Maybe system with even supported 667Mhz speed will hang up if i will install more memory than system can handle? I heard that more memory won't hurt, but who knows...
