Replacing the RAM was certainly doable in the 10v, but surely was not easy. Wow!
The 10v comes with either the N270 1.6 GHz (533 MHz FSB) or the N280 1.66 GHz (667 MHz FSB) processors -- I have the N280. The RAM I bought was PNY DDR2 PC2-5300. The package did say that the RAM was compatible with:
5300 (667 MHz)
4200 (533 MHz)
3200 (400 MHz)
Specs here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+-+2GB+PC...8126043289&skuId=9569503&st=pny%20memory&cp=1&lp=10
The specs say the RAM should operate up to 667 MHz. The "About This Mac" reports the RAM at 533 MHz, and the BUS SPEED at 667 MHz. What is going on here?
