I have two sticks of 512mb pc2700 333mhz ddr memory for my laptop which has the Intel 855gm centrino chipset and one stick just went bad on me. I tested both sticks by themselves one by one in each of the two slots and every time the one stick wouldn't even boot into the bios.

My newbie question: what ram do I buy? (I want at least 1gb)

Do I buy two new sticks of 2700? 3200? I have looked all over and I can't seem to figure out what the max speed is for this computer. It is a custom built laptop from cyberpower, who after I called told me that the entire thing is built by AOpen.

Thanks.

unfortunately there is no guide or manual. A friend had ordered this from cyberpower a few years ago and just gave it to me.

I was hoping that the information I provided was enough so someone could let me know which type of ram I should buy. I'm just confused about the different speeds and whatnot. Does it matter which pcxxxx I buy? Should I try to stick to the same type as it has now even though it is probably more expensive than the newer faster stuff?
