Thread Starter 
I just purchased the dv8000t and I would like to upgrade its ram. What are the ram specifications I should look at, and what would be the best company to go with? So far I've checked out Ocz, corsair, and crucial. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

check my sig for stock RAM specs. You are right on track with the right memory brands. I prefer Corsair personally, but OCZ also has great rep

My dv8000t shipped with 667 spec'd ram installed. I've read some posts by people asking why certain programs are reporting the ram speed to only be 333... Well one post mentioned that DDR-2 ram is "double-pumped" ( that means it reads, refreshes both banks at the same time, or swap backs and forth, can't remember) Hence 667 divided by 2 would be 333

A month or two ago I contacted OCZ and they didn't have 667 spec'd DDR-2 ram for the dv8000t...

Talked via e-mail with their head tech I think...

I am sorry for the delayed response to your e-mail; we have been extremely busy here. Unfortunately we do not yet stock PC2-5400 (667MHZ) DDR2 SODIMMS, which you require for your system.
