    Hey guys I was wondering since I have to RMA my 4gb of ocz 800mhz ram on my laptop.
    I have 2gb 667mhz as a backup will it run good enough to run my games AION as well as Counterstrike Source good?
    I have a msi 1651
    T9600 with the 9600m GT.
    It runs under Windows 7 64bit

    Yes you can use 2GB on a 64 bit system but as for games go, It could be alittle sluggish during the games and definitly after the game. It will work though!!
