Keep in mind that the speed of RAM for your laptop will be limited by your
machines FSB speed. So if your motherboard's FSB supports 100-Mhz i.e.
PC1600 i.e. 200 Mhz, then even if you put a module of 333 Mhz it would be
functioning at the speed of 200 Mhz only.

I did all this find out while upgrading RAM on my laptop. I ended up
preparing a document for all this.

See if it is of any help to you.
