It'll let you know if your ram is working. I strongly suspect you have PC-100 or PC-133. Download Everest or Aida32 to get MUCH better system info. |

PC133 (CL3) does not support EDO memory or buffered SDRAM memory." Individual sticks up to 256MB, 512MB TOTAL supported. the FULL spec reads http://www.docs.sony.com/release/PCV...PCV-7733%20%22 * Your computer is shipped with at least 128 MB. SDRAM is expandable to 512 MB. Computer SDRAM is unbuffered DIMM, specification Rev. 1.0 or later. Supports SDRAM memory. Does not support EDO memory or buffered DIMM memory. Memory can be installed in either socket. Memory size can vary between sockets. DIMMs can be single- or double-sided. DIMMs must be 3.3 V unbuffered 4-clock, between sockets. 64 bit or 72 bit 133 MHz SDRAM modules. I couldn't find anything listed for that Sony model number at www.crucial.com, but www.kingston.com indicates I was wrong about the PC100-compatibility, 16-chip requirement for the 256MB PC133 modules, and you can also use 8-chip, PC133-only 256MB modules, which should be much easier to find. Also, according to the Sony documentation you provided, your motherboard uses the Intel 815e chip set, and this is the most important factor in the memory requirements. |
