i have a couple of spare 512 SODIMMs from my

[robphelan]

laptop at PC2700(DDR pc2700).. my new laptop (dell 6000) is using, i believe pc 3200 (DDR2 400MHz)..

can i put a stick of the pc2700 in the dell?

you could however it would slow the speed of all the other ram down to 2700 speed

nope, as the new dell is ddr2, will have a different pin count and socket to start so wouldnt think ( i guess tho i havent seen a ddr2 sodimm slot) also the ddr2 isnt compatible with ddr1, i.e the way they send the data is different, ddr= twice per clock cycle, ddr2 is 4 four times, i think again, i could however be embarrasingly wrong

correct. DDR2 and DDR are different technologies that are not interchangeable.
