EVO D510 - PC2100 or PC2700?

 

I've got an old Compaq EVO D510 (D51S on the label) and I want more memory for it.  I find excellent trusted sites such as EDGE and find the required memory listed as PC 2100.  Then I find excellent trusted site such as Crucial.com and find it listed as PC2700 !!

 

Now which is it? anyone know?  I tried Compaq's site but didn't really get anywhere.

 

regards,

[ Edited ]

PC2100 has been discontinued, which is why you can't find it on our website. However, since DDR memory is designed to be backward-compatible you can safely add PC2700 faster memory to your PC2100 computer. The parts will clock themselves down to the system speed and run as if they were PC2100.

 

I hope that cleared things up! :smileyhappy:
