well first of all,
Thats not the speed of the ram, thats how much of the physical memory of the ram your are using.
So there for, the less the better.
About the to different laptops using different amounts of memory...
One must be Windows XP and the other must be running Windows Vista.
Vista use alot more ram.

what processor is it?
But I would recommend formating your hard drive and doing a clean install of windows.
