PC5300 memory, is one of the newest types of memory. Thus being DDR II. The slot in the middle, is slightly different to that of DDR ram. This is the easiest way of telling the two apart.
Hope this helps
be safe
The pc5300 means it is a newer type of memory, the "u" means it is unbuffered memory
PC6400 DDR2 memory runs at speeds 400 MHz or higher, which is where DDR memory left off. Popular modules of DDR2 memory at the time of this writing are PC3200 (400MHz), PC4200 (533MHz), PC5300 (666MHz), and PC6400 (800MHz).
I don't think it will. The demension 2400's board was designed to only run at 533mhz fsb max. It might be able to scale it down to 533mhz but you wouldn't get all of the performance. Only the P4's that run at 533mhz fsb will work in it as far as I know (I have one). The max clock speed for a P4 at 533mhz fsb that I know of is 3.06 GhZ
One can purchase a PC5300 on websites like Best Buy, eBay, Amazon, Tom's Hardware, Tiger Direct, Reichelt, Play Store, Nextag, My Shopping or Allie Express.
The basic difference between PC5300 and PC5400 random access memory is data speed, which is marginal. However, because of the slight difference, the would likely not be compatible.
Yes, it will just run at the max speed that the motherboard supports. So if the motherboard specifies pc5300, you're going to be running the pc6400 memory which is faster than the 5300 at a lower speed. But it will work just as well as the pc5300. [thumbsuck] Might even run a bit cooler at the slower clockspeed due to higher quality etching for the pc6400 and or larger chip die sizes. [/thumbsuck]
To learn more about DD2 PC5300 Ram online, the best place to check would be websites of electronics stores such as Best Buy. If one checks the model number, the specifications would be listed.
533mhz 800mhz 1066mhz 1333mhz
No. They are different generations of DDR.
Obviously the difference is speed.
Yes it should (the clue is that if you motherboard is coping with just one stick then you clearly don't need matched pairs)
PC5300/PC5400 667MHz SODIMM Chip will be compatible for the Dell Inspiron 1721.
