So far the laptop is running stable. I haven't purchased a new harddrive yet, but I do want to upgrade my memory this week which brings me to the point of this follow-up post.
Presently this laptop has 512 megs of DDR PC2100. The motherboard is designed for a maximum of 2 gigs and I can either install PC2100 266 or PC2700 333. Crucial's memory configuration says it definitely can take PC2700. Kingston's configuration said that though I can install the PC2700 it will only run at 266 regardless of what I install. To quote Kingston, "266 and 333 are both supported for this system, and can be mixed, but will only run at 266MHz no matter what is installed." The thing is I haven't found this information anywhere else. I have done quite a bit of searching, including Toshiba's own website that is definitely not user friendly, but I can't find what I am looking for in that did the later revisions and BIOS enable PC2700 to run at its full potential.
Right now I can get both PC2100 and 2700 at the same price. In your opinion, should I go ahead and install the PC2700 or stick with PC2100? Thanks.
