Compaq Presario 900 - Notebook ? or Desktop ? ( both models exist) http://shop.crucial.com/1/4/19316-hp...ry-module.html "james" wrote in message ... The standard RAM in this machine is 256mb. I am trying to upgrade by adding a 512mb card (specs say it's upgradable to 1GB). I am using an ULTRA DDR Memory (PC2700, 333mHz) which is compatible with PC2100 266mHz). When adding this card to the 2nd slot, the system is not recognizing it. I took out the original RAM and added only the 512mb to the 1st slot and the computer would not turn on at all. Finally I put the original 256mb card in the second slot and the 512mb card in the 1st slot. The machine now runs, but it still only sees 256mb. What else can I do/check? Thanks. Joe |

Thanks for this.� I'm running Wiindows XP on a laptop.� I ran the
Crucial.com scan and it recommended I add 512mb in the 2nd slot which I did, using the exact specifications they suggested. The computer does not recognize it however. THough the memory is in place, their scan picked it up as an empty slot..... |

System doesn't see it in slot one,( you said won't boot) System doesn't see it in slot two - sounds like bad/DOA 512mb memory stick. If you just bought it - send it back. If not, then buy a good one. |
