Computer memory question
I am slightly computer literate but in the dark on much. I am looking to upgrade memory on my Gateway laptop, it runs ddr2 sodimm. What I'm not clear on is the difference between ram speeds and designation as PC(2) 4200 or 4300 and such? I'm trying to buy memory on ebay and have bid on something that should work, 533mhz and PC2 4200. Does it need to be 4200 or can it run 4300? I don't even know what this shit means. When I go to gateway support and run the activeX on my system it tells me I am running 4300 however when I phone tech support and give my serial number they swear I have 4200. Sometimes I see PC, sometimes PC2. I'm going to shut down and physically see what is in here but I'd like to know if it really even matters.
Thanks for the help..... I bow down to your geekdom.
