e1505 memory

I see that the fastest type of RAM that Dell's website sells for an inspiron 6400/e1505 is 6400/800mhz. But I see that 1000mhz DDR-2 200 pin memory does exist. Would it work?

 

Here's the memory specs from http://support.dell.com/support/systemsinfo/document.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&~file=/systems/ins6400/en/om/specs.htm#wp1073114

Also, what types of CAS latency does this laptop need? CPU-Z says I currently have CAS Latency 4.0

It might, but won't run any faster - the very fastest this system can run RAM is at PC2-5300 speed.  Anything over that will simply be downclocked by the memory controller.

Again, it may work - but won't run at 800 MHz.

Save yourself the money and buy the PC2-5300 because it is known to work.
