I just recently ordered an inspiron 1405 and was going over the sales order when something struck me:
Inspiron E1405, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5600 (2MB/1.83GHz/667MHz)
1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM 533MHZ,2 DIMM for Inspiron 640M/E1405
I went back to the order page and looked at the memory choices and only the 533 mhz ram was available. I then went and looked at some other inspiron models and other than in a few circumstances only 533 mhz ram is selectable even when the processor is running at 667.
My questions are:
1) How much of a performance impact will this have on the computer (if any)?
2) If it is a large impact is it worth the money to upgrade? (Around $120)
3) Why would Dell not even offer a user to match memory with their processor (667mhz ram was, and is not even selectable on many inspiron models that have 667mhz processors)?
Thanks in advance.
