may be really can't support. refer to ur notebook's manual

hmm , but last month bought one for my fren , who bought his laptop [differ fujitsu NOTEBOOK but same ram ] ask me buy for him ddr400 1gb and its useable , but y mine cant

could u try 1 more time? confirm it properly install inside the slot.
or try to swap each ram's position. put the 256 in slot 1, then put 512 in slot2.
one more thing is the electronic part & ram,its quite sensitive, becarefull the electrostatic.
or try to use yo ram to yo fren's laptop (the one u mentioned use fujitsu,no problem), if it oso cant use, that mean the ram problem, u should take it back to change.

Hi there. I also have a Fujitsu notebook. But last week i went to Fujitsu's service centre at Wisma Lien Hoe, the technician there told me that I have to buy specific RAMs for Fujitsu which is Kingston branded in order to make them work. Am not sure about this. Because when you want to buy a specific RAM,it's hard to determine unless you copy down the correct serial and find the correct RAM. Any Fujitsu notebook owners have experience in upgrading their RAM on your laptop? Please share. Thank you~!!

tried...both the ram also cant be used


ready for SALE in the garage sales thread....as i tried with my neighbours lappy and its working
so i suspect other problem than fujitsu nits kingston ram , coz last month my fren wif the similar lappy wen to shop and bought a ddr400 1gb a-data and installed it ....its working fine....

have u try b4 with kingston ddr333 ram?so far as i know kingston and kingmax ddr 333 will works fine

now encountered the RAM not faulty. jz not compatible wiz yo laptop. may b u can try exchange the RAM with others brand,back to where u buy it.

let me show you guys what cpu-z shows....

but i call up my fren who is selling a-data...[he is the one who help my fren install 1gb ddr400 sodimm ram to her fujitsu notebook] he says it shud be wrking no matter what...

and even if ddr400 , it shud be automatically reduce to 333/266 to run

anyway here is the result show by CPU-Z

check with cpu-z
http://www.cpuid.com

i guess mayb the lappy must use some specific branded RAM only can work..


let's say.. HP laptop must install with HP branded RAM or else it wont run...

The is difference in the type of ram, like Dell Notebook, use a special type of ram, if not mistaken is "KVM" type of ram. Just check it with your current ram before any purchases (better to bring along the notebook for them to install and test than only goto pay)

have you tried to insert only the new ram (old ram take out) ? it should work if you laptop support ddr333 or ddr400.

cause from the cpu-z screen you provided, the adata ram do not set spd for ddr266. if your laptop only support ddr266, then this ram wont work.

Tony is right...Not all RAM support all frequencies...(Correct me if i'm wrong)
For example, your A-Data RAM only support 333Mhz and 400Mhz only..
But your laptop only supprt maximum 266Mhz...

My suggestion is try get another memory that support at least 266Mhz..

yah possible , anyway will be selling this gold sooon
bought it for 5k++ 1.76kg dvd/cdrw, 256mb ram , 40gb + orginal win xp home
bought around 2004
hehe
