    I just ordered two stick of 512mb 333mhz cl2.5 ram for my 6130.

    I wasn't sure if I would be getting two stick of 333mhz cl2.5 or two sticks of 400mhz cl3 for the same price. I went with cl2.5 since the laptop came with 2.5, but I knew the cpu was running at 800fsb, and the ram at 333mhz (async). I wasn't sure if I were getting 400mhz, they would really run both the fsb and the ram at 400mhz.

    What do you think guys ? I went with the safe choice, but what would you have done ?

    According to the manual the 6130hs can only support pc2700(333 mhz) as it's fastest speed.
