CanI/Should I use DDR DIMM memory? 2. Are all of the memory slots the same these days-184 pin? 3. I think my machine has two slots?--if so can I just add a 256MB to the other slot? 4. If possible please direct me to some info that I can refer to? -------------------- EDBEE from NMUSA- RENOWNED MALWARE FIGHTER AND SWORN ENEMY OF ALL INTERNET HIJACKERS

I paid 12.00 for 256mb pc2100 ram. I have 2 slots so I just add the 256mb in the other empty slot to make 512mb in my laptop. You should make sure its compatible. Maybe buy the same name brand as whats in there now if there is a brand. -------------------- The fool says in his heart,"There is no God."They are corrupt, and their ways are vile;there is no one who does good.

Also make sure that it says PC2700 to match the speed. QUOTE 2. Are all of the memory slots the same these days-184 pin? If you have DDR RAM, then it is 184-pin. I do not know of any DDR that has any different pin configurations. QUOTE 3. I think my machine has two slots?--if so can I just add a 256MB to the other slot? Yes you can do this. I would suggest that you put the 256 in slot 0, and the 128 in slot 1. QUOTE 4. If possible please direct me to some info that I can refer to? Sure no problem. First, you want to make sure on what you have. Everest Home can tell you what kind of RAM you have, and much much more. When you see what you have, and what you can use, then you can go shopping. I will be able to provide some places later tonight. This post has been edited by JEservices: Dec 3 2004, 01:57 PM -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.

Can't decide what to use, so I won't use anything. Group: Global Moderator Posts: 13,439 Joined: 6-May 04 From: SW Louisiana Member No.: 363	Crucial Kingston Corsair These are reputable companys that stand behind their products. Also,check out the info on their sites. There's a lot of good info about ram, definitely worth the read. Some additional info on ram: There are such things as cheap , ninety day , or generic RAM, which is actually sold, and doesn't meet the minimum standards of the JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council), for use in computers. But it is still sold, and un-informed people, still buy it. RAM can generally be divided into a few classes: (Excepting Performance or Overclockers RAM, which is made to the highest tolerances) Premium or Lifetime Warranty: This RAM is made from Identical chips, all tested and meeting the assemblers standards, all from the same chip manufacturer and lot. The capacitors and resistors are of the highest standard, and exceed the JEDEC standard, and all are installed on a circuit board which is thicker than required . The final product is tested to confirm that it is stable at the rated speed. One Year Warranty: Very close, but may include memory chips from different batches, although still the same manufacturer. The circuit board tends to be at least one ply thinner, and the resistors and capacitors may have more variance. These still meet the JEDEC standards, and are tested to make sure they are stable at the specified speed. OEM: These are intended for sale to a manufacturer, not for resale, although they often are sold retail. Often if you buy two sticks, you will find that they have memory chips from different manufacturers. They still meet standards (the chips are certified to meet the manufacturers specifications), but are often yet another ply thinner, and once again, may have more variance in the tolerance of resistors and capacitors, and may use fewer, than on higher quality RAM. Generic or 90 Day RAM: This is the lowest quality you will generally encounter. Often these are made of leftover chips; ones salvaged from returned and failed RAM, RAM designed to run at a higher speed which failed and became unstable. They are put on really thin boards, which do not meet the JEDEC standard. They rarely have even the minimum number, and quality of resistors and capacitors, recomended by the JEDEC . Also, if you touch the RAM anywhere except the edges, you should know that the oils and salts in your skin are corrosive, and will eventually damage the ram. And if you touch it without observing anti-static precautions, you can cause damage, which may show up immediately, or somewhere down the line. This is why I always reccomend that you spend the extra money to buy Quality Name Brand RAM with a lifetime warranty. I also prefer to buy all RAM at one time when possible, and at a minimum, make sure it has identical specifications (easiest method, make sure it is same manufacturer and model). -------------------- I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy, for the rest of your life.

I dont want to buy the memory -open up the box and find out if the slot is different for DDRSD than it is for the DDR DIMM- I just downloaded the Everesthome 151--thanks--I will also go to the Dell site and check what is compatible-- -------------------- EDBEE from NMUSA- RENOWNED MALWARE FIGHTER AND SWORN ENEMY OF ALL INTERNET HIJACKERS

I bought the memory module --PNY 512 MB PC2700--according to their configuration chart it is compatible--It shows that I have two sockets available for update--I assume the one now holds the OEM 128MB--will I install the new 512MB in the other slot? the chart says it should be installed in sets of (1) does that mean that the other OEM 128 MB must be removed?? If anyone can explain--I'd appreciate--I'm not going to do this until I understand completely-- a few years back I trashed a MB not knowing enough what I'm doing! -------------------- EDBEE from NMUSA- RENOWNED MALWARE FIGHTER AND SWORN ENEMY OF ALL INTERNET HIJACKERS

When it mentions that they must be installed in sets of 1, they mean as opposed to installing pairs at a time. This is typically when a motherbard has 4 or more slots. Since you only have 2 slots, it is ok to install them both. I would be interested to see your Everest report, if you do not mind. -------------------- We are all curious like a cat.

Forum Regular Group: Members Posts: 208 Joined: 13-July 04 Member No.: 1,385	Hey Jason-Thanks, That's what I thought also, that I CAN install the new one in the empty slot OK--That would give me 640MB memory-which sounds strange. I seem to recall that in olden days when the memory mods were like only 30 or 40 meg they had to be installed a certain way etc. Looking at the one I just bought -each little individual memory circuit on the board = 64 meg. I also recall years back working on systems that that had magnetic core memory circuits each one = each little core on the card able to store but one bit. In order to store any amount of data there had to be a whole cabinet full of memory cards, not mention driver and amplifier cards and and a large dual-trace oscilloscope to monitor and troubleshoot. This was the CPU--we also had large spinning memory drums that needed constant adjust and monitoring. And I will post the Everest report right on this thread--am appreciative of your inputs--I am not going to do this upgrade for a while yet--I'm also planning on installing a VID capture card and a Sound card on this machine. -------------------- EDBEE from NMUSA- RENOWNED MALWARE FIGHTER AND SWORN ENEMY OF ALL INTERNET HIJACKERS

Click Report -> report wizard. Have a check by motherboard and SPD only. This will tell you alot of stats on the RAM that you have. I will be able to match it up with the stats of another one to assure that you get the one that is the most compatible. You can check plain text for it. -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn. Please post back when a suggestion works, so that others may learn.

Jason--here I think is the whole thing--thanks--I noted that the slots are for the DIMM memory mods?--so I think I'm Ok with the 512 SD DIMM module I bought.
