englishmen Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I suggest you try the crucial scanner it will scan your pc and tell you what ram you pc can take. Any more question just ask. http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushh Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 The Crucial System Scanner was unable to determine the exact HP - Compaq model that you have. You can still find the right memory upgrade for your HP - Compaq computer by using the Crucial Memory Advisor? tool. >>but i managed to get this info. Maximum Memory Capacity 4GB but ther is also one more prob. i ran cpu -z and it told me i have 4 slots.. but i have only 2 that i see.. so is this a prog error .?? also i have 64mb shared ( as video mem ) so wen i upgrade this will automatically be shared again rite ?! thanks for yr replies.

Here is the Crucial page for the S5000nx. Should be what you need. http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.asp...5000NX&tabid=AM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most low-end Compaqs and Hp with 2 memory slots are rated for 1024Mb of RAM. Know my HP a305 is. If you put more than that in, you will need to make some changes in your BIOS to handle it. If you are thinking of more memory for gaming, go with a meg of RAM and add a graphics card. Check your power supply first , you'll need at least 250 watts. A lot of the latest game require a 5200 FX Nvidia or better and will not even load up if you are running on Intel intergrated graphics. I'm running 2.7Gig Celeron, 768Mb RAM, and a 5200 FX card and can run most any game out there. Granted, I can only run "Far Cry" on mid-level graphics but it takes a NASA computer to run that game flat out. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
