Hey Guys Im new here. So Hello. I have a Dell notebook 1.7ghz centrino with 2x512 ram. And a 6800GO nvidia videocard. I bought the exact same kind of ram as whats in it besides the name. It had hynix in it and I put some other brand. and it just slowed my comp right down. I put the 1gb ram in slot one and the 512 in slot 2. Both rams are 1g 200pin pc2-4200 at 566mhz i believe. There the same in every way but the name brand. The New 1gb work fine on its own but when together my comp is so slow I can barely stand it. Is there anyway that I can make two different company's work on my dell. I know I messed up with a dell but thats what I get.
Since its a dell, your expansion might be a problem, its late and im just going on a hunch, but do you know the max. amount of RAM you can have on the motherboard? sometimes that can cause slowing, and recheck if you have the right mhz and all of that, never hurts to double check.
It is upgradable to 2 gb of mem. And all the numbers are the same. 533mhz on 1gb 533mhz on the 512's. there both pc2-4200's This sucks. But when alone the mem works fine.1gb works good by itself in the dimm B but not dimm A slot. And when the 512 and 1gb are together with 1gb in Dimm B and 512 in Dimm A then the comp recognizes it but it runs slow. I tried running in safe mode and everything worked Ay Ok. Comp was fast. Tried SafeMode with networking and It crapped out again. Very slow. videokorn
How many people do you have on your network? Few years back my brother had something wrong with his computer..to much spyware and what not, it was getting into everyones computer and crapping them out, or maybe your motherboard is dieing..it IS a Dell.
Ya I realize now that I am never going to buy a dell again. But My motherboard seems fine. But I just me on my network. Thats it. Im not understanding. Why would it work fine in safe mode. But not in safe mode with networking. Could it be my vista?
ya...most of the ppl say that dell sucks...so if i was u i'll save the money and buy a new Laptop/Computer
If you're running Vista then that's likely the problem. One of it's chief drawbacks - aside from the fact that it cripples what you can do, snoops on you, etc. - is that it's a major resource hog. That's why manufacturers are bending over backwards to point out that their newest products are "Vista Ready" (even though most are not). You really need some fairly hot hardware to run Vista and your applications properly. Throw XP on there and see how you do.
Ya I might have to back to xp except that its the worst platform out there. I hate it. Always crashes. And I just spent 4500 dollars on my notebook and projector. so Im not really ready to save up for another one. but I guess if I need to I will have to install xp again.
