I have a sony notebook with 256 meg of ram. It is running too slow and I want to install more memory. The handbook says it can take up to 512 meg but would prefer to go to 1 meg. Is this possible and is it safe. Anyone with experience please help
Thanks
My model is PCG - FX701
Your manual reads maximum capacity of 512MB. I'd stick to that if I were you. It is the manufacturer's capacity, thus if you try to exceed that, I doubt the RAM will be be effective (i.e. function properly).
Crucial also states that your FX701 can hold a maximum of 512MB.
I've never exceeded the limit but I think should anyone do that, the system may fail to run correctly. Otherwise perhaps totally rework your laptop e.g. replace motherboard & BIOS etc., or buy a brand new system that will suit your needs.

512MB will speed up your notebook, you will notice a difference.

Hmm never knew that
LOL, it's a funny experience. Just try it with 128MB ram.:smileygrin:
Oh dear Seb ROFLMFAO
128MB is enough to bring Windows XP to its knees (its Microsoft's minimum recommended memory level for Windows XP to function lol) - slow is NOT the word for this lol
Its a huge shock running on 128MB of RAM instead of 768MB RAM lol
lol try it dropping from 1024 to 128:smileycry: To say it wasn't fun is an understatement.
Thanks for that Seb time for me to annoy some friends:smileytongue:
Yeah try running Windows with 128MB, it's like torture
