400MHz SDRAM or PC4200 DDR2 533MHz SDRAM memory as being compatible.

Well it should work fine. As long as laptops are the same as desktops. It will just downclock the ram to your max supported speed is all. Although you are talking about DDR2. I'm still running standard DDR. But I would assume its the same ballgame.
