Upgrading to faster RAM on Dell XPS 1530

hey everyone,

so i have a question about the RAM installed in my laptop. i have a dell xps 1530 and basically what i wanted to find out was, if i have 4GB DDR2 RAM rated at 667 mhz and the laptop has a intel core 2 duo T8300 with a front side bus of 800 mhz...is there a performance difference if i were to change the RAM with 800 mhz sticks? or is it even worth it? i know what some will think...that its 4GB what do you care? well that's what i'm trying to find out...whether there's a gain in performance or whether it would help with games at all (the hardware intensive ones for example).

any thoughts on this would be helpful to me. thanks in advance.

i have a buyer for the old RAM and i'd have to add in just a bit of my own cash i guess i'm okay with it. just curious if the answer is still save your money :)

If your going from 4GB's @ 667Mhz to 4GB's @ 800Mhz you will get about a 1% increse in games performance!

haha okay so it's sooo not worth it then. thanks for the info guys!babarooni
