Upgrading

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

It's not that bad with 1GB

Hello everydody :cool:

(What's up Kee Lo?) :wink:

I've bought 512 Mo and ad it to 256 Mo.

So you say that upgrading more than the capacity recommended is dangerous for the mother board? or for the performance?

I made this mistake since several years.

I will try to put only 512 and take off the 128 installed.

I 'll check this soon.

I believed , it could run faster ,because I makes music and need more performance for low latency.

What a pitty. :cry:

P.S:Don't pay attention to mistakes :wink:

Yes if you can get 2x512MB you'll get better performance

Hi Kee-Lo :cool:

I'm fine and you?

Yes there's a long time I didn't came here .

Less time,more works,more music :smileygrin:

I saw an other 512 Mo memory on a shop. But I was wondering if it was good idea to upgrade the memory. Because on the Sony's VAIO PCV-RX1 specifications they said "maximum RAM - 512 " (you can see it on the manual "Sony VAIO user guide "PDF)


Maybe if they said it's maximum, maybe there's a reason?

I have nowaday 768 Mo (512+256)

Am I right ?

P.S: dont pay attention to mistakes :wink:

Hi Cutee Jazz,

According to Orcalogic the PCV-RX1 can accept up to 1GB memory.

Sony have been known to understate the max memory on a number of models; no idea why:smileyconfused:

Rich is right, Sony do tend to underestimate their machines
