Hey,
so I have this pcg-z505js, simply a slimline notebook, or whatever they're called. Anyway, it's got a p-III, and runs on 100mhz RAM (PC-100).
Now, by chance, I have a 256mb ram stick of pc-133 lying around. There's no way it's not compatible, right? However, internet stores claim its max memory is 256mb, and its already got 128mb. And here's the thing- completely opened, I can only find ONE ram slot, and thats empty! So if I add my 256 stick, at the startup, it says something I cant read, because the screen is cracked severely, and a new one will arrive in a week... but i think i can read something along an error and windows will attempt to repair it, or something.
So here's the question- is it possible a laptop can take only a certain amount of RAM? And does anyone have a clue where the original 128mb ram stick is? On the other side of the mobo?!? Argh.............. thanks
Franz
