So if I have two empty slots does that mean I can add 2 GB of Ram and how easy is that, do you just slot them in and fix everything back up?
Cheers LooPrEvil,Click on the 'scan my system' button
Done the scan and the results are in:
Memory Type: DDR PC3200, DDR (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 4GB
Currently Installed Memory: 1GB
Total Memory Slots: 4
Available Memory Slots: 2
512MB
DDR PC3200
512MB
EMPTY
EMPTY
Each memory slot can hold DDR PC3200 with a maximum of 1GB per slot.*
So saying the PC can only handle 3GB and all chips have to be the same memory size.
Does that mean I could remove the two 512 chips and replace them with 1GB and also add an extra 1GB chip in to one of the empty slots, to make it up to a total of 3GB of Ram.
Is this a simple swap over, or do I need reconfigure anything once the PC is rebooted?
Ive never had any trouble mixing RAM on HP and Compaq
Interleaving is that a fancy word for Dual Channel, lets not over confuse this situation if generic RAM works then watever is cheaper
