331898 2005-03-08 18:48:00 I would like to upgrade my RAM (preferably two 512Mb chips) and I do not know what model HP I have since it was given to me by a friend. I did a scan of my PC and this is what I found (listed below). Can anyone tell what RAM would be compatable with my PC from this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Did a visual scan not find any HP labelling? I think Intel 810 chipsets only support up to 512MB of PC100 SDRAM so that'll save you some money :D

331900 2005-03-08 19:23:00 I'd say pc100 sdram but I'm not sure wether it'd take single sided or dual... drcspy (146)

press ctrl alt s keys together, this will give you the the model number,
and other information, then do a search through the HP web site,
for the model. If you cant find the information, send an e-mail
to HP thorugh the web site.

331902 2005-03-08 21:29:00 810 chipsets normally max out at 512. you will need double sided ram and LOW DENSITY chips. ie you will need a 16 chips 256 meg ram stick. 8 chip or 4 chip ram sticks may not work at all. tweak'e (69)
331903 2005-03-08 21:33:00 Hi Yoda , belarc advisor may give you the model name etc

www.belarc.com

on a quick look at the asus site I can't see the board mentioned

As Robby pointed out , if you know the model name you'll be able to search the
HP site for more info

331904 2005-03-09 04:10:00 Thanks for all the help. The belarc advisor worked like a dream and I found my model number (Pavilion 512x), searched the HP site, and found what I need. As tweak'e stated, I max out at 512 and need low density chips. Just ordered two 256MB chips. Once again thanks for all the help!!!!
