Ram upgrade.

Options
Looking to upgrade ram on my Acer Travelmate 2410. Understand that I need PC4200 memory. On play.com they have a 1gb PC4300 for what seems a bargain £18.

Is there any difference, and would it work?
Thanks.

    May be slightly different timings, but the PCxxxx value just denotes theoretical bandwidth rounded up or down. The PC4200 is rounded down and the PC4300 rounded up. Both should work.
