cailean Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I'm trying to upgrade the memory on an Asus F5R Laptop with 1 GB. I bought a single VS1GSDS667D2 module. The Memory Configurator suggested VS1GSDS533D2 but the memory already installed was DDR2-667 (hymp512g64cp8-y5) so i got that instead. After adding the memory vista still reports 1 GB. Both the old and the new memory works fine on their own in both slots. cpu-z can see both modules and reports 2 GB but not the BIOS or vista. Are the two modules incompatible? I have used memory from different manufacturers before without problems, though never on a laptop. If I get a second Corsair memory, will two VS1GSDS667D2 modules work or should I get the VS1GSDS533D2 suggested by the Memory Configurator? The VS1GSDS667D2 module works on its own and the computer supports DDR2-667 (according to asus) so a pair of these should work right? Or is there a difference between one and two modules? Thanks in advance Björn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 11, 2009 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 11, 2009 VS1GSDS533D2 uses a lower density Memory IC than VS1GSDS667D2 and its never a good idea to mix memory but did you try to go to BIOS setup and load setup defaults with both modules installed?
