A friend of mine's got a Dell Inspiron 5000 series that needs more memory. Does anyone know if PC133 sodimms will work? Crucial's configurator calls for PC100 sodimms.

    Usually with memory you can use something faster, it will just run at the slower speed. With notebooks, all bets are off - they can be quite fussy about what goes into them.

    Dell says this about it's memory specs:
    Memory
    Architecture: SDRAM
    Memory module capacities: 32-, 64-, 128-, 192-, and 256-MB SODIMM
    Minimum RAM: 32 MB
    Maximum RAM: 512 MB
    Memory access time/clock frequency: 66 MHz or 100 MHz
    BIOS address: F000:0000
    There shouldn't be an risk of physical damage to try it, if you can borrow a spare stick from someone.
