printer memory

[toronado455]

My Brother HL-5340D specifies 144-pin SO-DIMM RAM "100 MHz or more". According to Crucial, it uses PC133.

Would this 144-pin DDR2 533 work, or do I need PC133?

I believe that is the exact part # that Brother recommends for its printers. I bought that same module for my new printer.

Oh, and PostScript FTMFW!

Thanks. Where are you finding the part # recommendation from Brother?

Also, does this mean that DDR2 533 is backwards compatible with PC133?

It was listed in one of the user manuals for my printer:

You can check your specific model but I would imagine that any Brother printer with expandable RAM uses the same type.

Thanks, that's interesting.

MFC-9970CDW manual states:
144-pin and 16-bit output
CAS latency: 4
267 MHz or more
DDR2 SDRAM

HL-5340D manual states:
144 pin and 64-bit output
CAS latency: 2
100 MHz or more
SDRAM 2 bank

So I'm not really sure if the RAM is compatible between these two. If it was just a speed issue, I guess the faster RAM would just clock down in the HL-5340D, but not sure if there are other compatibility issues.

Apparently these modules are physically incompatible.

I've counted the pins on KTH-LJ2015/256 and it has 19 (38) pins, then a notch, then 53 (106) pins.

The PC133 module (and the RAM slot on my HL-5340D) has 30 (60) pins, then a notch, then 42 (84) pins.
