Compaq e-pc D510 (pentium 2.4MHZ, etc) - RAM query

Hello

I am getting an odd ram problem with a 2003 Compaq e-pc D510 (pentium
2.4MHZ, etc) . It was advertised as having 256MB PC2100 Ram in it when
we got it a few days back, and worked fine, if a bit limited with this
amount of RAM.. I got another stick of PC2100 separately to boost ram
to 512MB and that is where the problems started with lockups and
crashes. I subsequently tried yet another stick of PC2100 with the
same results.

I then scanned it using CPUz and the crucial scanner. They reported
that the original Ram supplied which I verified by checking the stick
wasin fact Infineon (with an Hewlett Packard sticker on it, and rated
at PC2300 (and rated to 142MHz).

I need to increase RAM in this machine, so as I am a bit out of
practice, I am thinking of replacing what is there with some PC2700
(either 2 x 256 or 1 x 512 ).

Anyone had any similar experiences with these machines, and their
tolerance to RAM ? any advice anyone ??

Have you tried to use both of the PC2100's and NO HP ?
You can only use non-ECC memory modules.
Is your memory NON-ECC ?
