    HP Mini 2140 Memory

    Hey guys ^_^

    I've been interested in the HP 2140 since it came out but have been waiting for the "HD" display to release before putting out the money for one. I'm kinda hoping that with the news that Intel just confirmed shipments of its new Atom processor (N280) to PC makers, the "HD" display won't keep us waiting much longer.

    Anyway, this may be a stupid question, but I wanted to be 100% sure before I pick up some memory.

    HP's website says that the HP mini 2140 supports up to 2048 MB of 800 MHz* DDR2 SDRAM. When I went to Newegg to pick up a 2GB 800 MHz (I know that the new N280 can only support up to 667 MHz), it said something about different numbers of pins.

    The only ones I saw that were DDR2 were these 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM. Is this the right number of pins? I'm not sure if they come in any other sizes.

    Thanks in advance.

    Heres the thing, even tho the memory is 800mhz the processor only goes up to 533mhz.

    heres a link to the ram

    533mhz versions
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...20(PC2%204200)

    667mhz versions
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...20(PC2%205300)

    800mhz versions
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...20(PC2%206400)

    They will all work but remember even tho some of them might be a higher Mhz it will only use up to 533

    Remember the CL is slower often on the "faster" clocked RAM so stick with the 533Mhz CL4 RAM and you will be better off.
    Quad booting a HP Mini 1035NR /w 2GB RAM: Windows XP on 25GB, Windows 7 on 10GB, Ubuntu on 10GB, OSx86 on 10GB, Linux Swap on last ~1GB.

    Check out my OSx86 guide HERE.
