| 1159645 | 2010-12-07 22:05:00 | If it supports dual channel, it'd be better if you get an identical stick of ram. If the mobo can take up to 4 GB, it should be fine if you put another 2 GB stick in | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1159646 | 2010-12-07 22:23:00 | Poppa John, grab the Crucial RAM scanner from www.crucial.com and post us the link to your results :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1159647 | 2010-12-07 22:29:00 | www.crucial.com Is this what you mean Chill? I don't think that the XP Home I have will do 64 bit, & if it does i am sure I will have problems with other installed programs. Such is my luck!!! PJ |

| 1159648 | 2010-12-07 22:37:00 | Thought I would run that tool to see what it would say apparently I can have 41Gig yet I only have two slots on my mobo now where to get hold of two 20.5Gig DDR2 Ram sticks | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1159649 | 2010-12-07 22:57:00 | Are you sure you ran the correct tool? Clicking the link above does not run the tool. You need to download it. |

| 1159650 | 2010-12-07 23:16:00 | Looks like they need to update the certificate in that tool, its expired. Even tho it runs | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1159651 | 2010-12-08 00:08:00 | Nothing to do with what version of Windows . Its the 32bit versions that can't see 4GB (you get around 3 . 5 ish) . 64bit sees more . Had it fixed in my mind that 2gb was the upper limit of XP . Thanks everyone for your input . Chilling, I might try that ram link as well to see what that coughs up . |

| 1159652 | 2010-12-08 00:15:00 | Poppa John, grab the Crucial RAM scanner from www.crucial.com and post us the link to your results :) Thanks Chilling....tried that scanner myself. Not dual something or other, cannot remember exact wording and I am limited to 2gb of ram on the current motherboard set up so I might still go ahead and swap out the 512 for a 1gb pending the replacements at a later date of these older laptops. |

| 1159653 | 2010-12-08 00:36:00 | Yes PJ, that's the one, you're right in saying you can whack in another 2GB DDR2 stick of RAM and you'll be away laughing. PinoyKiw, let us know how you get on :) |
