| 793312 | 2009-07-20 08:33:00 | Hi there, My flatmate is attempting to upgrade his computer a little to eke some more life out of it. We are trying to discover the maximum ram his computer will take. He has a HP pavilion dv2021TU which he got from harvey normans a couple of years ago. It has one ram slot, and it currently has 512 mb of 553mhz ddr2. Any ideas how we can determine the maximum size we can put in? The HP product website doesn't have a specification sheet for that kind of information that I can find. Cheers, GorCh |

| 793313 | 2009-07-20 08:51:00 | Most laptops take up to 4gb You would only want that as a max anyways, as 32bit OS's can only recognise up to about 4gb altogther(3.25gb minus shared GFX memory) How about posting a HijackThis log here, maybe he has accumalted some crap... Defrag? Blam |

| 793314 | 2009-07-20 08:52:00 | Oh yea. What about downsizing? Like if he put in a 2gb, but it only took 1gb max. Would it utilise the 1gb? or not work at all? | GorCh (13021) | ||
| 793315 | 2009-07-20 08:55:00 | It probably wouldn't recognise the chip. Its highly unlikely it only supports 2gb though. |

| 793318 | 2009-07-20 09:28:00 | Perhaps this will help h10025.www1.hp.com This is the manual for the DV2000 family (8MB though) h10032.www1.hp.com Looks as if 1GB may be maximum (depends on CPU and OS etc), the first link should help you find out. |
