slin Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Spent a week on this already. Have a 1.5 yr old Pavilion dv8120ca laptop and had Infinion 512MB DDR1 333 SODIMM, I increased that with another competitors brand, starts with king and ends with stone, 512MB a year ago. Works great. Looking at going with two 1GB sticks, I can use any combo up to 2GB. Which Corsair 1GB DDR1 sticks can I use? I used the memory configurator on the site and the closest is a dv8125nv, its identicle in every way when I go to HP site to check. The dv8125nv can take Corsair VS1GSDS333. Will this work in my dv8120ca? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slin Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 I just read the other dv8120ca thread here http://www.houseofhelp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62677&highlight=VS1GSDS333 which sort of answered my question, mines very similar model to the dv8120us. Confirmation if this VS1GSDS333 works on my laptop would be great. I can assume it does. Just another piece of info: Recently in my hast I shopped locally and I put in 2x1GB of another competitors brand, RAM last week and it kept rebooting after a few minutes. Its been returned, thats when I was informed laptops are pickier about RAM. Runs great on the original RAM. I just want something that will last and reliable. I have 2GB of Corsair XMS2Dominator in my desktop PC....works excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 4, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 4, 2007 I am sorry but I have no information your specific model of notebook, I would run CPU-Z on your system and see if you can find out what memory is in your system.

slin Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 OK, using CPU-Z and also Everest I find this about the factory memory. Since competitors names won't post I shall say the brand starts with In fin and ends with ion. It is 512MB DDR1 PC2700 (2rows, 4 banks) Unbuffered, 2.5v Part # 64D64020HDL6B Timings: 2.5 3 3 7 Hope that tells you something. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 4, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 4, 2007 VS1GSDS333 should work fine in that system, just make sure that you get the latest BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
