I am now willing to upgrade my RAM from 1gb (2x512mb) provided as in initial configuration to 2.5gb (1x2gb + 1x512mb).
The clock speed provided in the existing RAM is 667MHz and the 2gb RAM that I am willing to upgrade with is of 800MHz frequency.
Will there be any problem with this upgrade? Like two different frequencies of RAM.
If yes then can I use only 2gb of 800MHz frequency RAM? Will there be some problem with the mother board - like is MotherBoard Synced for particular frequency?

Either 667 or 800 will work...800 is probably a bit easier to find now...just make sure you install 2 identical modules.

Usually ddr2-800 will downclock but you may have a bigger problem. Some of the dv2000s will only accept 2 gigs total RAM which means no single stick bigger than 1 gb. You would be better off to install 2 x 1 gig modules because that will 100% work and you will have dual channel memory access which is faster. 2 gigs in dual channel will be better than 2.5 gigs in single channel, assuming you can even get 2.5 to work. We need the exact model number. Even the ones that are supposed to only be able to take 2 gigs total will sometimes work with a 2 gig module it is just a bit of a gamble.
