hey guys i jz got a pair of RAMs today, adding em to my current specs. but how come Properties of My Computer only shows 3GB of RAM?? i'm supposed to have at least 3.5GB if i'm not wrong. Mobo is Gigabyte eG45M-DS2H and RAM is TeamElite DDR2 800Mhz

If I'm not mistaken, your OS is 32bit and it only supports up to 3GB. You need a 64bit OS to fully support the ram above 3GB.

oh ic. yeah its Windows XP Home Edition hehehe. so i guess i can juz remove the extra gig of RAM?

Your system supports up to 3GB of ram. So if you have a 512MB ram there you can just remove it.

However, I heard of a software called "RamDisk" can make use of the extra ram and actually make it accessible just like HDD. So, you will have a fast zone.

i have a old pc which still running on 256 ddr ram . wonder if i can upgrade it ? can i still find ddr ram ? or can i get a ddr2 use with ddr ?

how do i know if my mobo can support for ddr2 ram ? cos since bought it 2002, seldom use it ...
*
If your motherboard can support DDRII, it cannot support DDR as the slot and the voltage are different physically. Please correct me if I am wrong.

From what I've seen from the pricelist, you can still get DDR rams at the local vendors especially lowyat computer shops.

wanna ask, how do i differentiate a single sided ram and a double sided ram? what's the difference of both the rams?
*
Just look at the ram stick if both of the sides are soldered with ram chips, then this is a double sided ram. I hope I don't get it wrong. smile.gif

Hello there.
Hmm, recently my company is going to increase the ram for each pc.
Those pc were bought on 2001 and most of them just have 256mb of ram.

Usually for pc on 2001, which type of ram is it?
How can I check it?

I wish to know the price for it.
As the technician charged double last time.
Thanks!
*
It's either DDR266 or SD133. I suggest you download a software called CPU-Z at www.cpuid.com to check.

Just got my BL12864AL1065.16FD3 1GB x 2.

Should I remove the heatsink to look over the memory chip?

btw it is PC2-8500 DDR1066 CL5 double-sided.
*
You have to make sure that the heatsink is not stuck by gum onto the ram chip or you will damage it.

how much it cost? (max 1gb?)

kindly advise....

thanks ya

Do you mean where the ram(s) located or where you can buy the ram?

By the way, I just checked the spec at http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/245...ario_m2000.html.

Your model uses a DDR333 So-DIMM ram. You can get a DDR400 SO-DIMM ram for your laptop but not DDR2 ram. You can check it out at garage sales. I expect the price of such rams to be around RM100. DDR1 rams are obsolete now especially the SO-DIMM type.

how many slots there? can i keep my current ram?

thanks for the info ya, it was great...

Why not you try to open up the cover at the back which hides the ram slots? You will know how many are there then. You can actually do it yourself. Visiting the garage sales forum, you will see a few threads selling the DDR400 rams. It is very easy.

If you don't have confidence in doing it yourself, you can ask the computer shop to do it for you if you buy from them. Make sure you do a research on the pricing before taking the plunge.

Dear all,
Would like to get some comment from you all.
Anybody heard of Zeppelin RAM (1G)? Is it reliable? (I never heard of Zeppeline RAM before)
It was come with my Compaq laptop. I thought Compaq Laptop is come with Kingston RAM (or Hynix or Samsung or other brand name).
And it is Compaq laptop come with Zeppelin RAM as standard? I did asked this question before (House of Notebook or HP Dealers), they told me, it will be come with Kingston RAM as standard?

Am I been cheated? Bought the laptop last year (in Sept/08)

Need help here.. sad.gif
*
I haven't heard of this brand before but I think it should work fine. If you're feeling uncomfortable, you can ask your seller to change the ram for you.

You don't have to format your notebook to fully utilise the new ram. Just make sure you insert it when the power is off. It's unlike using the USB port. laugh.gif

You can go to the HP website and check the specification of the notebook. Then you will know what's the ram it used. The easy way is to download a software called "CPU-Z". It lets you knows what're inside your notebook.

It can be upgraded to 4GB. However, if you use 32bit Operating System (X86), your OS can only fully utilise 3GB of the total rams.

Mr.LKM, is my model supported 800 Mhz RAM oso? Can i install Ultimate with my current notebook spec?

Core2Duo 1.8
2.5GB RAM
Intel graphic card
*
I don't think yours support DDR2-800MHz. You can certainly put it in. However, since your other rams are DDR2-667MHz as well, it will only run at 667MHz. Your motherboard doesn't support DDR2-800. Well.. you can use cpu-z to check if it can. I just give my opinion based on my speculation. Haha..

Well, you can install Ultimate but the "aero" will drag your performance since your graphic card is the bottleneck.

ppl oso told me the same where it;ll only run at 667Mhz if use together with 800 Mhz....i got cpu-z but though this program only tell what hardware installed....then how to tell if my notebook can support 800Mhz or not?
Which Vista version best suit my spec since failed to installed WinXP last time...thx!
*
Look at the motherboard model then google it for the specification. I think Home Premium is more than enough for normal user but it's up to you which version that you want. If I'm not mistaken, your laptop can use DDR2-800 but not support the speed which means that the speed of the ram will be running at a slower rate than stock.
