I've found PC 3200 Ram w/ 2.5 CAS - Corsair's ram fits that need.

I just found this forum in search of an answer to a ram upgrade problem I've encountered with my m6811. As you know, it comes with 512 (256 mb hardwired + one 256 slotted). I tried to upgrade the slot with 1GB (pc2700) stick (four times with four different manufacturers) and couldn't get the latest After Effects to work. It works with the old ram. I use Premiere Pro, MAX, and they all work with the current 1GB stick. I've reinstalled After Effects, but no change. With a Kingston 1GB stick AfterFX would start to load, then the "blue scream of death" and reboot.
With Corsair, the m6811 wouldn't even boot. Now I have ram from memorygiant.com and the laptop will boot, I can launch AfterFX and I don't get the blue screen and reboot, but it hangs on the AfterFX splash screen with "cleaning up OpenGL."
Need help from the universe! Any thoughts?

Upgrade your bios first. Then run memtest all night to check for ram errors. If there are errors, replace ram. Outpost.com has some good stuff.

Ed i was having the same upgrading problems with my M6811 .First i did the outpost 1 gig stick ,and sometimes it booted and sometimes not ,sometimes was like working fine for a while, and it would start freezing or restarting (rarely blue screans) .
Did try the corsair too and was even worse whith it. Tell me please whith what sticks is your M6811 working stable with most aplications and games(and do you have problems only with the After Effects).
Its not the problem in the sticks , i think that they are just fine ,it's something else that's giving me all the headaches.I dont know what the hell is happening ,but maybe somewhere in near future im gonna send it to emachines to replace the motherboard ,and fix the anoyin hinges...

It's DDR2 RAM - not DDR. It won't work in the M68xx/74xx systems because of that factor alone.
