Adding Memory to Presario 900
I am trying to add additional memory (256m) to a Presario 900 Notebook.
Using PNY PC2700 (as recommended at their website) modules, the computer goes into safe mode whenever the original and additional memory is inserted. It boots normally if either the new or old modules are inserted. Tried buying another new module and inserting them without the original, but same situation. It seems like something needs to be set to allow for the extra memory? Does it require only PC2100 memory? Is there something about the 900 that needs to be set to recognize the extra memory? Does anyone know of any peculiarities with it and memory? Is the memory proprietary? Any thoughts? Clark |

Back in the my Compaq tech days, about the only memory issues we had were
with PNY memory. Do yourself a big favor. Return the PNY and tell them it doesn't work. Then go to the URL below and get the right memory for your Presario 900: http://www.crucial.com/store/listpar...ies.&submit=Go HH "Clark" wrote in message . com...
