512MB - not, in Compaq Presario 7461 by Paul D.Smith
Added 512MB to this machine. BIOS counts up to 128MB then red COMPAQ logo on screen goes awry and machine locks up. Any suggestions? Memory seems to match Compaq specifications (although they're vage on their website!). Paul DS. -- Please remove the "x-" if replying to sender.

switching HD by Al
If I take a hard drive from a Gateway (Essentials, running ME), and put it into a Presario 5000, it apparently might or might not run. BUT, is there any danger to the hd in trying?
