johnnyblaze803 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 My computer has 4 memory slots available. I recently bought 2 PNY 512 MB PC2700 DDR333. The problem is, that they only fit into the 2 slots that already had factory cards in them. They wouldnt fit into the other slots for some reason. Could only get one side to latch down and that would kick up the other side. 2 are white and 2 are brown. Do they take different memory or something??

gunner Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Try comparing the old memory with the new memory and see if the slots (at the bottom where it plugs) line up and are the same. Not all memory fits all computers. As an example, I recently got some cheap, but i needed 2 notches on the bottom, and only had one. If it kicks up, that could be the problem. Will the old memory fit the slot you are trying to use? What are the computer specs? If it isn't broke, tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capman Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Go here to find out exactly what memory slots you have and what memory you need. It is as simple as using the Crucial Memory Advisor? Tool, to get the complete lowdown on your computer's memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyblaze803 Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 You know, i never tried to place the cards I took out into the empty spaces so that I will try. Other than that they appear to be the same, the originals and the ones I bought as far as I can tell atleast. I will also check out the link for future refference. thanks. ------------------ System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 11/18/2005, 19:37:41 Machine name: GATEWAY Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519) Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: Gateway System Model: 510 2900468 BIOS: BIOS Date: 01/23/04 19:02:20 Ver: 08.00.10 Processor: Intel?
