Ok ive found some compatible RAM (Hynix 2gb ddr2). After doing a crucial scan at
Memory upgrades from Crucial.com - About Crucial:Media Toolbox
(Results)
# Maximum Memory Capacity: 2048MB
# Currently Installed Memory: 512MB
# Available Memory Slots: 1
# Number of Banks: 2
# Dual Channel Support: No
# CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
# CPU Family: Intel Pentium II processor Model 6, Stepping 1
# CPU Speed: 1862 MHz
Now it has 2 memory banks but its not Dual channel supported?
The scanner says that the two slots can take 1gb ram max. would it effect it if i put the 2gb RAM in 1 slot?
Also with the spare 512mb ram(currently installed) could i put it in the 2nd slot even though it does not support dual channel aswell as it exceeding the Max memory capacity (2048mb).
Would this damage my computer? would it work?
Also purchase a laptop hardrive 320gb (my old one 80gb), is thier a limit on the amount of hardrive you can put in? or aslong as it fits it will work.
I know its alot of questions but im really interested to see if my purchases were a waste.
Thanks
