| 805234 | 2009-08-30 01:05:00 | I have an old laptop, NEC running Xp sp3 that keeps dropping half of the ram and leaving me running with 256. Not enough I was told to download Everest and it would tell me how much ram I could use, but obviously I didn't do something right cos I can't find where it tells me if the motherboard will run 1 gig ram. Specs from everest are Motherboard: CPU Type Mobile Intel Celeron M 370, 1500 MHz (15 x 100) Motherboard Name NEC EM1-MF Motherboard Chipset Intel Montara-GM+ i855GME System Memory [ TRIAL VERSION ] DIMM2: Kingston ValueRAM KVR266X64SC25/256 [ TRIAL VERSION ] BIOS Type Phoenix (09/13/04) And yes, I do know it runs 512, as it does it quite often on boot up. Last time this happened, the ram was removed and then put back, and it was fine for months. Hasn't fixed it this time. |

| 805236 | 2009-08-30 01:20:00 | go to crucial . com and use their system scanner, gives a much accurate result Ok, done that, The following is a list of what our scan was able to detect: System Manufacturer: NEC System Model: VERSA E2000 Motherboard Manufacturer: NEC Motherboard Model: EM1-MF * Maximum Memory Capacity: 1310720 MB * Currently Installed Memory: 256 MB * Available Memory Slots: 1 * Total Memory Slots: 2 * Dual Channel Support: N . A . * CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel * CPU Family: Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor 1 . 50GHz Model 13, Stepping 8 * CPU Speed: 1492 MHz 256 MB/DDR PC2100 and one EMPTY Presume that means I can use 1 gig, seems a lot of numbers . LOL |

| 805237 | 2009-08-30 01:25:00 | on crucial mine says max 8192MB ram, so i think that from your one it means 1.25 gig of ram(i think) | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 805238 | 2009-08-30 04:32:00 | ok, thanks, and once again, it is back to 256, sheesh, impossible to play anything! | supergran (108) | ||
| 805239 | 2009-08-30 04:53:00 | intergrated gfx takes away from the main system memory, wouldnt think it would cut the ram in half though..... | GameJunkie (72) | ||
