Re: Memory Upgrade Question

Well, let me get this straight. You have two RAM chips in your V4000 laptop, slot 1: 256 MB, slot 2: 512 MB, bringing total to 768 MB RAM. Correct? And you want to upgrade the ram so that you have two 512 MB sticks, one in each ram slot, bringing total ram to 1024 MB (1 GB). So what you want to do essentially is buy a single 512 MB RAM chip and put it into the slot that currently holds the 256? Yes? Take note that the Presario V4000 has a maximum RAM capacity of 1 GB PC-2700 DDR in the form of two 512 MB sticks. If you have an alternative V4000 model that accepts DDR2 memory it can then accept two 1 GB sticks. But I don't think you are running DDR2 RAM to be honest. It will not accept two 1 GB sticks. Now if all of these assumptions are correct. Let's decided where to get it. Memory is always more expensive from your laptop maker, but compare prices with Crucial.

Thanks Skye,



You answered my question. So its true that I can only have two 512 and nothing more.....



I also need to get an external hard drive cause I only have like 34% free



Good outlets for the big check I will be getting on the 29th
