I don't think most human beings can tell the difference between pc2700 or pc3200....Odds are that pc3200 will run in it and since it costs the same, you might as well get it...Just don't mix it with slower ram.

I put in put in pc3200 in it and it runs fine.
not that I want the speed it's just the same price as pc2700
so why not.

I don't think anyone will notice any difference. besides playing games. and since the video on the 700m is crap playing game on it is pointless.

tho I do love my 700M ... ex 700m I just sold it recently for money to get the 1330 XPS.

drool.

The speed rating on memory is just the maximum speed the module can handle. It doesn't mean the system will run it at that speed. In this case, the computer will likely clock the memory exactly the same whether you install PC2700 or PC3200.

Putting higher-performance memory in a computer that won't use it is like installing high-performance parts on a Hyundai Accent. Sure, they'll work, but they won't miraculously make you go any faster.
