| 851267 | 2010-01-24 05:00:00 | Hi All. Both of our computers have 1 x 1GB ram stick. I have acquired a 2 GB stick that I want to put into one of the comps & the, then, spare 1GB into the other. Making 2 GB in each. Physically this is just a case of removing & replacing the sticks. Yes? Will the comps then accept the increase in Ram without me doing anything else? Thanks. PJ |

| 851268 | 2010-01-24 05:10:00 | Should work, BUT that may depend on how much ram the mobo supports | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 851269 | 2010-01-24 05:23:00 | Maybe. Suck it and see. Other than that post both motherboard makes and models and what current RAM you have. For all I know at this point is you have a 2 gig stick of RAM with nothing as to speed or what type. Got a 2 gig SODIMM then it won't even fit if both are desktops. |

I see no reason to doubt that Maryann's comp will as well.Dont know what her M/B is. What difference will...1x2Gb or 2 x 1GB have on a comp? PJ |

| 851272 | 2010-01-24 06:50:00 | Nothing, unless if the 2x 1GB sticks are faster. Are they the same speed? Dont know. Yet. The 2GB is 800Mhz. Right. I am going to shut down & try the 2GB stick in my comp. Wish me luck. PJ |

| 851273 | 2010-01-24 06:51:00 | Well, I doubt your 2x 1GB sticks are 1000MHz or higher, so I would say there will be no difference between the 1x 2GB and 2x 1GB sticks. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||

I'm inclined to agree. 2 x 1 gb if dual channel should be better than 1 x 2 gb. But the difference will probably not be noticed. |

| 851275 | 2010-01-24 07:24:00 | PJ on Maryann's Computer. OK I am in trouble. The !gb I took out is 1GB DDR 800 &n the 2GB is the same. Powered down the comp & removed the side panel. Left the power plug in. Held the case to earth me. Removed the 1gb & inserted the 2GB. Restart comp.Asks for boot disc & press any key. Do so & comp goes thro setup, I get this.To set up windows XP now,Press enter To repair a windows XP installation using recovery console, press R. Toquit setup without installing Windows XP, press F3. Now what? PJ |
