Comments about Crucial 1GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-8500,:

Used for surfing the net, emailing, downloads and Microsoft appplications. Instantly recognised by the system.

My PC has 2x500MB 667MHz units as originals. The supplied 2x1GB units run at 1066MHz. So maximum memory speed is limited to 667MHz unless the 500MB units are removed. I would have thought the Crucial diagnostic would have given identical speed units?
