You can download the manual

It should take 2 x 256MB giving you a total of 512MB so it seems to be a problem with those specific 256MB DIMM's :?

memory problems

Postby pevers on Sat Nov 11, 2006 6:24 pm

Thanks, have downloaded and printed out manual but still not any wiser, have now been told that the memory I have bought has the new 16x32 pin configuration and I should have had 16x 64, no idea what they have been talking about, where can I get hold of this old memory, and more important what is this memory marked as. Cheers again, Dave

eBay is probably your best bet for getting rid of the memory you have now and buying some replacements.

The pin configuration of the DIMM itself won't be different, what might be different is the type DRAM's it's populated with. For instance a 256MB DIMM way come with 8 x 32MB (256Mbit) DRAM's or 16 x 16MB (128Mbit) DRAM's.

Sometimes with memory it is down to luck :?

The manual states that it takes PC100 memory, the confusing bit is how much. I read it as a maximum of 256Mb per DIMM but it could also mean a combined total of 256Mb :roll:

Is it really worth the time and effort trying to get the right memory? Would buying a new motherboard which uses your existing memory be a better option?

or 128 in both slots.

memory

Postby pevers on Wed Nov 15, 2006 6:27 pm

Hi there again, read all comments, the problem being my wife refuses to allow me to do anything other than replace memory,something simple which doesn`t get in her way. My problem being computers,she thinks are a complete waste of time so I have very little `space` to work in. Ideally I had hoped for a new computer but alas not to be. Why did the old config.1-256,1-64 work and be recognised. `Belarc Adviser` listed both rams as being available? Is there any preference in the way memory is avaible to the computer. Dave

Hi again,located old 64 mem.stick,seems to be PC100,re-installed it,works fine,faster,again recognised by `Belarc Advisor` states total memory available now 320 MB. Would PC100-256 memory worth a try,is this available? Another solution? Dave

well you are already doing more then emachines say.

unless the machine has had a bios update over the years that allows extra memory to be added.

you can still get pc100 memory but i would not buy new at this stage.
go to ebay and pick up a tested second hand sim.

try and match what you already have in the machine if your 256 is single sided get another if its double sided get another of those.

memory problem

Postby pevers on Fri Nov 17, 2006 6:33 pm

Hi an associate of mine lent me an old 256-Sdram bit, hyhundi,I think but would not work,either by itself or with my existing 256-sdram memory. Gave me the recovery screen,with options safemode with networking,etc when I tried to re-start it wouldn`t with this new memory. I have beeen also informed that in the bios there is an option to turn off some kind of program which possibly is blocking this double memory, any ideas on this possibility, how is this achieved, it seems to be only possible on the old bios, or could I alter the bios in any other way-Too technical for me possibly, anyway another thought for you, Dave
