I have two chips of ram but I have no idea how much MBs they are and I need to know to see if it's worth adding them.\n\nFEATURES:\nChip1: The chip is around 10cm long with 8 black boxes.\nOn the black boxes it has written:\nOKI Japan \nMS14400C-705J\n44822649A97\nat the end of the little gold chips there is written 72\nin the corner there is written 20vd\n\nChip 2: same asthetic features and on the black boxes there is written:\nHY514400A\nJ-70F 22Z\n9614A MALAYSIA\n\nat the back there is written POWMEN ASSEMBLY IN USA\n\n\n\ncan you help me know what mbs these ram are?

Chip 1 ??, chip 2 is 4mb. They both are old, so even if you wanted to use them, they most likely (99.999% sure) wont work in a modern computer.

I looked up your system at http://www.coastmemory.com/\n\nHere are the two systems:\nSystem Specs \n Type of system: Laptops \n Bus Architecture: PC Card (PCMCIA) \n Comments: 100MHz FSB \nSystem Memory \n Standard Memory: 128 MB (removable) \n Maximum Memory: 512 MB \n Maximum Expansion: 2 sockets \n Comments: PC100 SDRAM SODIMMs \n\nSystem Specs \n Type of system: Laptops \n Bus Architecture: PC Card (PCMCIA) \n Comments: 133MHz FSB, Intel 830MG Chipset. \nSystem Memory \n Standard Memory: 128 MB (removable) \n Maximum Memory: 1.0 GB \n Maximum Expansion: 2 sockets \n Comments: PC133 SDRAM SODIMMs  \n\nIf you checked the markings can can't tell between the 100MHz and 133MHZ, you might open up the memory cover and look to see what is already inside.  These are often marked. \n\nThis company offers a guarantee that it will work.   So if you make an error, just call them and get the RMA number.  They currently sell the 512MB stick for $95.00.  1.800.4MEMORY  \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

easy,juz plug in the RAM n turn on ur pc...mostly it'll function coz RAM size doesn't metter, but the speed does...u juz mention bout 256MB n 512MB of DDR RAM but wat's it's clock speed...coz some of 266 mainboard cannot support DDR400...\n\noh ya...and some times the brand of the RAM will effect the result...\n\nanyway...theories doen't gv result...so the easier way is to test it practically...\nEXP: some time Kingston RAM will Clash with Apeccer RAM...

C.L 2.5 is the CAS Latency of the RAM, it is a bit complicated for a novice but if you really wanna know what it is take a read:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_Latency\notherwise just know that the lower it is the better.\n\nAs for how much it will take, it will obviously take two, its hard to know how big it will take for sure, but I can say with almost certainty it will take at least 512MB sticks, so you can get two for a total of 1GB.  I would recommend you go to crucial.com and use their memory tool to be sure, or see if you can find your model number and email it to me and I can look it up.\n\nAnyway, assuming all works out and it can take 512 sticks, I would recommend purchasing this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220057\nIt is good quality for a good price.  Just take out your old stick and replace it with these two.  Its speed is higher than yours currently, but that is okay as the RAM will automatically slow itself down to meet your requirements, and if you are lucky and your computer will support it will be able to run at the higher speed.\n\nIf you need any further help, please feel free to email me.

If you have slotted in the ram correctly then it shouldn't be a problem. Just pull it out and start over again.\n\nBut all that beeping noise properly indicate you may have stuck it back in the wrong slot or the wrong way round. \n\nRam slots need to be read sequentially from top down. Example the first slot facing the CPU is the slot you must fill first. This order may be different in different motherboards though! Check your motherboard manual.\n\nAlso check you have not placed the module facing the wrong way! Ram don't need time to register with a computer, it is checked & acknowledged  immediately on bootup by the pc BIOS.\n\nIt's a good idea to test all your new ram modules before you use them. Check 1 stick at a time. Use Memtest-86. A bad ram module can really screwed up your pc.

It'll take a lotta time to describe the whole process, so i've listed a couple of links here. Visit those links n read 'em.\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,18024,00.asp\nhttp://www.ehow.com/how_895_install-ram.html\nhttp://www.pcmech.com/show/memory/87/

dont use ur old stuff unless its ddr2 ... if its older than 6 months it isnt ... dont mix the types or you'll slow everything down , just add another 512 if you have a SINGLE stick, and check out the site the guy above mentioned to get the same speed memory ... if you have two sticks of mem now they are 256 each and most likely in dual channel configuration ... in that case i would get the same speed memory but buy (2) 512s' or (2)1gig sticks ... if you break up a pair of sticks in dual channel or add a third you will slow things down also ...

easy...\n\ngo to kingston.com and use their ram wizard...  No guess work.\n\nAnoosh's suggestion just uses the system info in the registry.  It can be inaccurate.

http://www.crucial.com  That site will show tell you the exact amount and type memory your system uses.\n www.newegg.com is a good place to buy from

I've always felt like there's no such thing as too much RAM, but I thought I'd check with the experts to see what they say. I went to my old reliable "Tom's Hardware Review."\n\nSurprise! From testing reported in December, 2005, it comes down to "how do you use your machine and what do you want to do."\n\nFor single applications run one at a time, there's apparently very little difference between 512 meg of RAM and 2 gigabytes! They suggest it's not cost effective if this is your style and the money would be better placed into a video card.\n\nThe story's different for multitasking, though, something that I do frequently. It's not unusual for me to have four or five video/audio editing and assembly applications going at the same time, along with a browser and notepad and maybe even burning and downloading at the same time. It looks like more RAM would be beneficial for me.\n\nHere's the link to the specific page I used for my conclusion. (1)\nYou can use just this summary to make your decision, or you can read the whole article.\n\nHappy computing!

SM581000A-7 is listing as a SIMM memory module. It was used in PC's back in the 80286 and 80386 days.

Agreed..... check out the crucial web site and find out exactly what kind of RAM your computer will support.  But even if it says you can use the two sticks you already have, you could have some other compatibility issues.\n\nThe 512MB may be 333MHz instead of 266Mhz like the 256 stick.  Even if you could run them together, the different frequencies could be a problem.  Your computer might run at the slower frequency (if, in fact, the 512 has a different frequency, is  it also backwards compatibile.  Meaning, will it actually work at a slower frequency.)\n\nThe second issue is whether or not your computer will accept two different RAMs or do they have to be the same (in pairs.)  If the computer will accept different RAMs, make sure to check if they need to be installed in any particular order.  Some computers require that the largest stick be placed in slot # 1, the next largest in slot # 2, etc.\n\nAnd finally,find out if your new computer's warranty will remain in effect if you choose to deviate from the manufacturer's specs.  Nothing worse than spending big bucks on a computer, violating specs, needing repairs, and spending more on the repairs than you did on the whole computer because you trashed your warranty trying to save a few bucks.

You're going to have to open it up to put the new RAM inside so why not?\n\nAnyhow your computer supports DDR PC3200 or PC2700 with a max of 1GB per stick. Your computer supports 2GB ram total.

Well the second guy is half right, you can of course install them in different sizes.  However to call the performance gain "amazing" is a bit of a stretch.  Plus, you would be forfeiting dual channel mode if you install in different sizes, which is a bad thing.  My suggestion is to save up until you can afford the full upgrade to 2GB.

Actually your doubt was right. the problem may be due to incorrect clock speed. solution is first of all assure that both of the rams do work properly when inserted single at a time. i.e. it doesn't give any error. then if there is a option to set your ram's clock speed manually in the BIOS of your PC then  set it normally the clock speed of the SD ram in p3 machines will be 133MHz. so set it to that speed. or even 100MHz and then see the difference if still the problem persists then please personally mail me. so that i can get you the detailed solution over the mail.
