804068 2009-08-25 05:05:00 Hey all,

I have 2 laptops, a Compaq Presario R3000 and an Acer Travelmate 529ATX.
Can I take the RAM out of the R3000 and put it in the Acer??

Cheers.

804069 2009-08-25 05:10:00 Depends. Read what it says on the Compaq ram and what it says on the Acer. If its got ram in it Speedy Gonzales (78)
804070 2009-08-25 05:13:00 It says "DDR-333 512MB" on the Compaq ram, and im not sure about the Acer, Ill have to wait for my XP install to finish to open it up and have a look. springa886 (10558)
804071 2009-08-25 05:18:00 Get something like cpu-z and see what it says about the ram in both of them Speedy Gonzales (78)
804072 2009-08-25 05:21:00 The problem is, the compaq started to die a few weeks back (turning off by itself while im in the middle of a $10,000 hand on pokerstars!!!) and now when I turn it on, she dies before XP even gets to start!!
So i got my mother in law's old Acer and am trying to get that up and running again.
