555676 2007-06-03 08:35:00 Little brother has a HP 521A with 128MB of RAM running XP.
Specs say there are 2 PC133 RAM slots, and max RAM allowed is 2x256MB(512MB).
Will a 512MB stick, or 2, run OK without the poor old girl haemorrhaging?
Is it a suck and see upgrade?

Thanks,
B

Thanks,
B Then the max you can run is 2 256MB sticks... 512MB sticks will NOT run and will most likely not even boot
