RAM problem in my mom's computer
My mom has an older Compaq Presario 5310US which gets the job done for her. its running XP but she said that if she has her email open and open any files, it takes a while to open. I looked and she only has 256mb RAM so I ordered a 512mb stick (samsung) and installed it. It worked fine, but was still plenty slow, so I checked under mycomputer properties and saw that it was only showing 256mb.
I pulled the old stick out and tried to turn on the computer, but the screen never "clicked" on, the keyboard's num-lock light was flashing... the stick I ordered I believe was PC-133, the same as was in the computer prior. the new stick is also slightly shorter than the new stick, though both have the same pin layout. |
