My laptop HP 6530b has Core2Duo 2.66 GHz and 2GB of memory running at 400 MHz. The way the laptop runs it does not feel like it is a Core2Duo 2.66 GHz laptop. I bought two 2GB 800 MHz PC6400 modules. I opened up the laptop memory compartment, and to my surprise I only see one single slot, and it was empty, so I went ahead and put the module in it. I was expecting another module, the factory installed one, but I didn't see it there, so I could not replace the second module.
Anyway, I started the laptop and now it shows the 4GB memory, but it of course continues to run at 400 MHz. CPU-z is showing 6-6-6-18 @ 400 MHz.
What do I do? How do I get rid of the factory-installed memory module. It is dragging it down. Or do I have to make some changes in the BIOS to get it to 800 MHz. The laptop specs say that it comes with 2GB memory at 800 MHz. So what is limiting the memory in my laptop.
