since they don't make 1.25gb modules, i suppose that you are asking if 2x1gb
pc2-5300 is better than 1x2gb+1x.5gb pc2 4200. i would say that 2x1gb pc2
5300 is better because it is inherently faster in two ways, speed of the
chips, and the fact that you have two identical chips means your laptop will
function in dual channel mode (accessing both modules at the same time for
slightly greater performance). the additional memory configuration might be
valuable for photoshop or some games, but not overall.
Chris, basically you are correct except that either way it would
amount to dual channel since I do have 1/2 gig + the new 2 gig ram or
just 2 new 1 gig ram chips (both pairs of matching speed).
I know that I can also use mismatched speeds too but that my
understanding is that it will step down to the lower speed chip.
In any case, I got your point and thanks for the help !!
