I want to upgrade the memory on my system. The MB manual (Intel SE440BX-2) data insists that the components be unbuffered, with gold plated connectors, and have an SPD (Speed Presence Detect) feature, and PC100 speed or better. I absolutely want ECC. Mismatching plating with connectors can lead...

Hello my configuration: 300W PSU - Asus P4P800 - PIV Boxed 2600 not O.C. - 2x256mb ddr-400 brand "V-Data" - GF FX5200 - Sound Blaster 128 - HDD 20 & 6.5GB, LG CD-RW and LG CD-ROM I've already wrote a post about 3d problems and errors (games close and return to desktop) and about "blue screens" in...

A friend of a friend has an elderly computer (P133 with 16MB FPM memory) that needs more memory. It was assembled by a company that no longer exists, and he has no documentation. I ran AIDA32 on it and it reported an AMPTRON PM-8800A motherboard with an Intel i430VX chipset, 3 ISA, 4 PCI, 1 DIMM...

I own the laptop in subject • Intel® Celeron® - 2,6 GHz 400MHz BUS Cache 128 KB • 256 MB PC2100 DDR 266 MHz I'd like to search on ebay two 512mb RAM or one 1 gb (the maximum supported). However opening the notebook I noted that the ram installed says PC2700 (please look at the...

Hi Can anyone tell me the maximum amount of memory and what type can be installed in a Sharp PC-FS2518 laptop. I have tried Crucial but the FS2518 is not listed. I downloaded and ran Belarc which return the following info for memory Slot "on board" has 256Mb Slot "DRAM Slot 1" is empty Slot "DRAM...

Fan problems aside (see below), I also have memory problem. I came in a few days ago to find my win98 machine had crashed. I rebooted and the diagnostic lights came on (MSI KT3 Ultra motherboard, VIA KT333 chipset), indicating a memory error. The two modules each 256Mb PC2700 non-ECC, I will call...

hello, I recently added another 128mb 133mhz module to my hp pavillion 7880 and started to experience problems. I removed the module and all is well again. Both modules are the same spec, 128mb, 133mhz. The only difference is that the new memory is double sided and has 16 chips in total where as...

Win XP Home SP2 - AMD 2400 - Asustek A7N8X-LA m/board - AMI 10000308 BIOS dated 10/8/03 Issue :- when I boot, the process gets to the bit where the blue bars scroll across and then halt for 20 seconds, then they continue and Windows runs without problem. This 20 second delay started after I...

I'll try to make this short, but need to give all the details, so...... i have basically a gaming system for my wife. Built it for xmas and because i went high end with video card, i only got 2 gigs RAM. For these few months, system has been ROCK SOLID, never a crash, fast as fast......everything...

Hi - I know memory mapped IO is about mapping device/controller registers to memory space in order to reduce the number of processor instructions (and simplify device driver writing) . My question is: are device registers mapped to virtual memory or physical memory? I suspect the former, and I...

Hi All, this is my first post to this board and I hope this is the right one to post to. I have a question about memory mixing and am wondering if anyone knows the answer (or can point me in the right direction). I have a PC with a single 256MB stick of RAMBUS 711-45 memory (and a blank). I have...

I've been cleaning up all my spare parts and stuff in the basement and came across a memory module that hasn't worked in a single pc so far. I don't remember what kind of system it came out of, but from the single Google result, it would appear to be from a Gateway pc. What I want to know is if...

I have a Dell Dimension XPS purchased in July of 2000. It came with 256mb of ram and a couple of years later I upgraded one of the two memory slots to a 256mb module for a total of 384. Memory was expensive then or I would have gone to 512mb Now that memory is cheaper, I want to upgrade. I only...

I have a gateway core 2 thats about 2 years old with an Intel Love Valley MB. About once every 2 or 3 weeks it will start up with the 'Windows recovered from a serious error.... bla bla". Then I run Memtest and, sure enough, it finds memory errors (usually with the same bit -0x02000000). A...

Regarding the trade-off between random & sequential data access for SDR, DDR & DDR2 I would like to know if this information that I found at the link below is correct (from which I've summarized into this table): For base clock rate of 200MHz (5ns) Initial Random Subsequent...

My brother has a AXPER XP-P4VM533 motherboard and I'm having problems with it recognizing the 256MB memory card. When I bring up the CMOS information prior to booting into Windows it identifies the total memory as 224MB. It seems to be missing 32MB. My question: Is this as indication that...

I have a friend who has a new laptop that is supposed to have 256 M of RAM. It shows up as 192. Is it a problem with the stick or is it a laptop thing that all the memory doesn't show up? Thanks ~Patty Pittman

I bought some new memory 1Gb PC3200 made by Matrix a week ago and my computer has suddenly crashed and will now refuse to boot (BSODs). It crashed at the precise moment I deleted a coded in WinXP so I thought it was the act of deleting the codec that caused the system to screw up so I attempted to...

Just got one of those POST code reader thingies, and I've already tried it with a troublesome ECS K7VTA3. This board gives continuous long beeps (with 3 second gaps) when switched on, which I 'THINK' means a memory problem (or memory sockets problem) according to the Award BIOS beep code...

I have a Pentium 4 machine with an Intel mother board, using 3 DDR SDRAM DIMMs (2 ea at 256 M and 1 at 500 M). The machine has exhibited a range of 'flaky' behaviours so I downloaded Memtest86 to test memory. The memory test (with all three DIMMs installed) showed about six different memory...
