on crucial.com its says the max i can have is about 500, i have about 200 in right now, i already bought 1 gig of ram, what would happen if i install this?
if you install the 128 with your 256, you will have 384mb. if you install the 128 by itself, it will be 128mb. what's the make and model of the computer?
yes as the other stick is 1gig it'll either ignore the stick completely or your computer will fail to boot (bios error, friendly BSOD) your best option would be to just send back the 1gig and get a 2x256mb sticks (or if your computer supports it 1x512mb stick) .....shouldn't cost to much! ya we need to know that! -tripplite
yeah, ill get the two 258 sticks my computer is very very old and i cant even afford to buy a soda at school, but my pc is a HP Pavillion XT963, luckily it runs xp ^_^
the maximum size stick you could put in there would be a 256mb and your max total would be 512mb your all maxed out buddy! cheers! -tripplite
in my computer also i got 500 set though i have to 2gb ram of 800mhz and my mother board is dg965ry and it supports 800mhz.last time when i tried to figit with it and change it to 800 it didnt boot only.so i had to remove the jumper from the bios pins..why cant i use it at 800mhz but i think my processor is 533mhz which is dual core 2.66
well i am not sure about that but i changed something from the bios and i think it was under chipset.it is 533 and under automatic,when i chnaged it to under manul and increased to 800 and exit it and then it wouldnt boot only.
Sounds like the front side bus - setting that to 800 will definitely cause problems. Leave it at 533.
LOL he tried an overclock on an OEM by accident...poor lad...like samy said be sure to turn it back to the default, if you changed anything else go to the settings area of the bios and find the option "restore factory defaults" or something along that line -tripplite
na i have swtiched it back to normal.itz working fine ..but just wanted to know what happens so that i get little bit of info
