Yes, most probably, and make sure you get the same model, to prevent any more compatibility issues.

my advice would be either buy a 1gb ram or use an SDRAM with DD. it works fine for my computer

if the SDRAM dosn't work then buy a 1GB.

by the way isn't 512bytes of ram enough for u???

I multitask alot >_>

i see than why not get a dual core???? u could try celeron D or Athlon64 x2 dual core!!!!

anyways there is a better idea if u have a harddrive with a lot of GB then u can use ur harddrive as a virtual memory back up!!! that way when ur ram stops responding ur harddrive kicks in :

k k. let's stick to RAM issues before we go on upgrading.

LunatikBunnie, how about getting another 512mb and see how it goes. borrow from a friend or something. heck if you're staying nearby i don't mind helping you out.

you mentioned

Yup. currently at 512 400mhz
the 256's are 200 and 333mhz's(i think)

now which of the 256 were you using when the SYSTEM was unable to detect it?

LunatikBunnie · 3rd Jan 2006, 11:19 PM

Hmm.... I put them together and they say something at the bootup. Something about speed issues, prompting me to press f2 to continue. and when i do, it just reads the 256, not the 512.

I set 1.5GB of space as RAM already, it doesnt help much

I guess it has got something to do with memory incompatibility.

Of course it won't help. Virtual memory is far too slow.
