T5500 memory type
I need to buy a couple 2 GB sticks of memory for my Precision T5500. I see there are DIMMs that are marked as LV and DIMMs that are marked as SV, but am unable to find an explanation or compatibility information. Can I use either type? What is the difference and is there an advantage to using one vs the other?

LV= low voltage, 1.35V
SV= standard voltage, 1.5 V
Crucial.com offers both types for this system. 1.35 V RAM should use less power.
A quick glance at the Crucial site suggests 1.35 V modules seem to have lower latency (CL) numbers than the equivalent 1.5V modules. And there are other differences too.
Read page 2, here, for info on RAM for this Precision and rules for installing it.
EDIT: I fixed the link.
