hello Everyone:

I have a question about Ram. I have a Dell inspiron 2650 notebook: well I got the information on it, and found it has two places for ram: (one under the keyboard, and one toward the back bottom) well I have replaced the one that had the smaller amount of ram with 256mb stick, which turned out to be the one under the keyboard.
The problem is under system properties it doesnt say 512mb<....thats the max this laptop can hold, but it says something different....like in KB

I dont know what else to do

both places for ram have 256mb sticks but it doesnt show....help?:confused:
 
The_Other_One said:
1024KB = 1MB... Soo, if you have a larger number in KB's, you're fine :P What's the amount it shows?

Thanks The_other_one,

Found out the new stick was not compatible with my system, took it back and ordered from Crucial, Just got the stick from Crucial today and it shows the right amount.....great now I have all the ram this laptop needs. So now its sitting with two 256mb sticks, which makes me have 512mb ram. Next need to get another hardrive down the road, when I can afford it, and when prices drop
 
Prices drop? i got my new Hitachi Deskstar 5400RPM 40gig 2.5in for 53.99... i dont know if you can get a lot cheaper than that.
 
SOrry it took me so long, i got my HDD from newegg.

Thanks burgerbob,

For that information.

Do you guys know how to delete a free account on here? I have my other one which I didnt like how the name came out Brpckisit. When you use these dark keyboards on Dell sometimes at night you hit the wrong key when you register....lol. Maybe I should get a light above my keyboard so I dont make another mistake....hehe

Maybe ill wait until I get the money before I buy one HD.

Thanks again people:)
