SODIMMs for Dell Inspiron 4000

[apologetic]

For anyone who jumped on that Dell deal a few days ago, you may be in the same boat I am.

I've got 64megs of RAM coming on a new Dell Inspiron laptop. I also ordered 128megs from crucial.com. I'm guessing that the 64megs of ram is CAS 3, and I know the crucial is CAS 2.

Would it be worth it to have both of these sticks in there, running at the slower CAS speed with 192mb, or should I opt for the CAS 2 speed and just 128mb? I'll be running win2k.

I have both, one of mine was hyundai and one crucial, and i use cas 2 and 3 from crucial, works fine, 192 mb also.

CAS speed doesn't matter that much, you won't see a 10% difference.. maybe a 1%
