Hi Folks,
I know that Santa Rosa isn't *quite* out yet but I was wondering if anyone could answer a question nevertheless... I am fairly sure that it will be possible to use DDR2 667MHz PC5300 memory (as used in the current Macbooks) in a laptop which uses the Santa Rosa chipset but will there be a performance hit (speed, battery life etc.) or any other drawbacks to doing so? I am looking to buy a Macbook in the next month or two but have the opportunity to pick up some memory now fairly cheap and wanted to make sure that it would be OK before spending my cash on it. Of course, if the Macbooks don't get Santa Rosa for a while (or at all) then this is all academic really...
Thanks to all who reply,
Alec
