SO-DIMM 1 GB PC2700 DDR-333 Computer RAM: The Historical Standard

Memory modules or sticks have evolved extremely quickly but relatively maintain the same size and dimensions as their predecessors. PC2700 RAM was used in laptop models launched before 2010 and provided ample multitasking capabilities for computers at the time. Newer standards have emerged to supersede the PC2700 RAM standard to provide exponential speed boosts.

What Is PC2700 DDR SDRAM?

• DDR: This stands for double data rate. It is a class of memory integrated circuits in computers. It is different from its predecessor, the single data rate RAM, because it is capable of running two operations per clock cycle instead of just one. This effectively doubled the throughput of the memory and provided more speed than single data rate RAM due to this double pumping. The DIMM slots are where you insert the memory modules on the motherboard. The physical format for DDR memory has a key that is 1.5 cm from the left side of the stick. This is to prevent inserting the memory into DIMM slots that are incompatible with it, such as those of its successor, the DDR2 standard.
• PC2700: This type of DDR SO-DIMM or SODIMM Non-ECC memory is typically available in 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB capacities. Many laptops that take this memory standard max out at 1 GB total. The name refers to the assembled modules using the memory chips, in this case, the PC2700 layout. It is also called by a name that refers to the raw memory chips, or DDR333. Since DDR333 doubles the operations per clock cycle, its 166 MHz output is doubled to 333 MHz, hence the name. Its successor, the DDR 3200 standard is capable of 400 MHz per cycle.
• SDRAM: This is the acronym for synchronous dynamic random-access memory and is a generic name for those with synchronized clock speeds with that of the microprocessor. This allows optimum read and write speeds to the RAM by the processor and the RAM will then communicate with the much slower data storage device like the hard disk to properly write the data. Newer SDRAM like DDR4 is available at 4 GB to 16 GB configurations per module, while older DDR3 standards have 512 MB to 8 GB modules.

How Do I Install PC2700 Memory on My Computer?

• Remove Backplate: Laptops vary in backplate design, so yours may have a dedicated hatch for upgrading memory. Simply unscrew the hatch or the entire backplate of the laptop to expose the motherboard. The SODIMM sticks should be located near the processor.
• Remove Old Sticks: Remove the older RAM sticks by unfastening the metal side clips that hold the sticks. The RAM should pop up without being removed from the SODIMM slot. Remove and repeat for the second stick if present.
• Install New SO-DIMM Stick: Reverse the process by starting with the second slot. Push the stick snug into the slot and push it down until the side clips click the module into place. Repeat for the top module. Replace the backplate and boot the system.
