kapoios_takis Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hello, I have a Compaq Presario 2810EA laptop and I'm about to upgrate the memory by adding 512Mb (the computer comes with 256Mb). According to 'RAM Guy', I should use the CMSS512MB-266SOD System Select memory. Unfortunately, I can't find this product here in Greece and it would be too expensive for me to buy it from an e-shop outside the country. The only solution seems to be to purchase the Value Select VS256SDS266 memory which is available. Are there any chances that the Value Select memory will work for my system, with or without discarding the manufacturer's 256Mb DIMM that is currently installed?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 24, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 24, 2005 You can try it, but I would suggest you replace the memory you have installed and not mix them for best performance. I would get VS512SDS266 and remove the module you have installed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapoios_takis Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hi, I just installed my new VS512SDS266 memory module, without removing the manufacturer's 256Mb SODIMM. So, the system currently runs with 768Mb of RAM and works like a charm! However, I can't say I've stressed it much, with applications that consume large amounts of RAM (at the moment the system has about 300Mb free physical memory and uses 400Mb as system cache). If I encounter any problem (e.g. BSOD or weird crashes) I'll keep you informed. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
