I was attempting to fix my audio and I stumbled across my Ram stats as follows.

As you see there are two different speeds of Ram. Will that slow my laptop down?
Also it says one of my memory chips is PC2700 but my Recommended Ram is PC2100?
How can this be? Can I just buy ethier PC2100 or PC2700?
Can someone shed some light on this?
When I search for PC2700 RAM I find 333Mhz speed memory that looks like it would fit, it has the same number of pins. but will it work? I don't have any clue?
here ill put a couple of links to the different ram.

Are they both ok for a Gateway 400vtx laptop? Is there something better?
