PNY OPTIMA 1GB DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300 Notebook / Laptop SODIMM Memory Module MN1024SD2-667
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010PNY OPTIMA 1GB DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300 Notebook / Laptop SODIMM Memory Module MN1024SD2-667 Review
I used this memory on my Dell Inspiron 1501. Popped out the old memory; popped in the new memory. Took all of 5 minutes and works great.
Dell makes no claims for this upgrade and claims that the laptop only supports 2 Gig. I’m running the most recent version of the BIOS (albeit a dated version) and the new 4Gig memory went without a hitch.
I then upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit and that upgrade went in flawlessly.
A bonus benefit: when you run the Windows rating system, my memory card was the limiting factor and gave a score of 2.7. The memory card on my laptop makes use of RAM for its video work. When I put in the PNY memory (the package says its 30% faster), my video rating jumped from 2.7 to 3 due to the faster RAM memory. . . a nice side benefit.
Finally, I bought this while PNY was running a rebate. So, for me, this memory was a bargain.

PNY OPTIMA 1GB DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300 Notebook / Laptop SODIMM Memory Module MN1024SD2-667 Overview
DDR2 is the next generation of DDR memory. DDR2 memory features faster speeds, greater bandwidth, lower power consumption and enhanced thermal performance. Although DDR2 modules are the same physical dimension as DDR modules, the plug-in connector configuration is different and as such DDR2 modules are not compatible with PCs requiring DDR modules, and vice-versa. PNY manufactures DDR2 memory upgrades rated at PC2-3200, PC2-4200, PC2-5300 and higher. They are compatible with desktop and notebook computers and processors including Intel`s Pentium, Celeron, Centrino, AMD`s Athlon and Sempron Socket AM2 processors, and others.
