has anybody had success with using ram faster then pc2-5300 on a macbook pro?

I am curious, i am looking at upgrading to faster ram but have found little on the web about it.
 
does the "5400" stuff even actually run faster than 5300?
i think your best bet for marginal performance improvement is to go for lower latency. *shrug* (and of course make sure you're taking advantage of the dual channel capability)
 
I never noticed any changes in performance in my powermac G5 when I put in faster ram....

But I solved the performance problem anyway, too bad a macbook doesn't have 8 slots of ram, else you could do the same as me:santa:

Well mac doesn't really work that way, there is no bios... So there is little to change on timings, voltages and frequencies.
