getting higher speed memory than specified...

OK, so I have my TOshiba satellite P25 and it takes PC2100 SODIMM memory, which is by todays standards pretty slow. Anyways, I read on another forum that this guy used PC2700 memory with ALL the same specs such as latency, voltage, Non-ECC, and unbufferred. He ran tests and concluded that everything is fine and is running at PC2700 (i think thats 333Mhz).

I just wanted to see if anyone else has tried this either on a laptop or desktop and what were the results? Thanks

Plus....whats stupid (and I know why) is that PC2700 memory is cheaper than the PC2100....grrrr

i think that if you put in pc2700 into a slot that is supposed to take pc2100, it will only run max at pc2100 speed. this is just instictual, however, i do believe that pc2700 will run in your laptop with a speed of at least pc2100.

^correct. higher speed memory in a board/system designed for lower speed memory will only downclock the memory to the system specs.
