I have an old laptop (toshiba) that supports memory with 266 clock speed my question is are the RAM available in the market with 333 clock speed backwards compatible with my laptop? i know that my unit doesnt support 333 but wud it be possible?
 
Most ram is backwards compatible and will work perfectly fine when run at a slower clock speed.
 
my unit only support up to 512mb of ram only so even if i put 1gig wud it only show 512?

It might show up as 1 GB, but most likely it won't work at all. It will fail to recognise the ram. Best bet is to buy 512 Mb.
 
Have you tried looking to see if there is an updated Bios? There is a slight chance that the maximum amount of ram could have been increased via an update. Don't count on it, but the possibility is there.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
