Hi all,

I recently posted a thread about some RAM not working, I emailed the seller and this is their reply:

"You have ordered 8 chip memory and your laptop requires 16 chip memory"

What is the difference between the two (apart from the obvious number!), and how do you tell the two apart, seeing as I ordered a 512mb, 266mhz, PC2100, DDR module to go with/replace the existing 256mb, 266mhz, PC2100, DDR module. Or am I being fed a load of .....? The laptop is a Compaq Presario 2158 if that is any help.

Thanks again, Doug.
