Every time I read threads or forums I never get the answer I am looking for so here goes... I am looking to upgrade my RAM from 2GB to 4GB ( my current configuration is Slot1 - 1GB and Slot 2- 1GB). My current RAM is running at 5-5-5-15-20 and I am wondering if I can buy RAM that is rated at 4-4-4-12 without doing anything to my BIOS? Also is it worth doing, or should I just stick with 5-5-5-15 RAM? My laptop does not allow me to change anything (It is an Acer Aspire 5100-5840 w/ AMF Turion 64x2, TL-52 1.6 Ghz).
I have attached my current Memory and SPD tabs from CPU-Z for your reference below.
