Smile Memory Question/Help Needed

I have a Sony Vaio Pentium 4 HT PCV-RZ56G 220gb hard drive with PC 3200 ddr memory 1gb in two 512 sticks also has a 3.4 gb processor DVD -rw/+rw and need to know if I can upgrade it to at least 3gb of memory I have the open slots. Also would like to know if I can use overclocked memory PC3200DDR to do this and if so will it run applications faster than regular PC3200 memory. I understand that overclocking makes the memory faster just need to know if my computer will run the memory before I spend the bucks on it. I do a lot of DVD editing and Burning also have external DVD double layer Memorex drive 16x. Sometimes run some intensive Graphics applications also. Are there any other types of memory I can upgrade to besides the PC3200 that my PC will run? Thanks for any help provided.

You would have to check with Sony to see if you can run faster than PC3200 memory. Also, you may not be ale to overclock since you have a proprietary PC and most manufacturers lock those features out of the BIOS. As for capacity, you could probably take up to 4GB.

Sony specifications say max = 2gb: http://www.docs.sony.com/release/spe...RZ56G_mksp.pdf

Sony Vaio bios does not allow OCing options. I would suggest you find a supplier of OEM type memory and buy a PC3200 2 x 512mb kit of memory to add to your existing memory.
