Or try going down in memory clock speed. Memory can be very fussy sometimes. text/html 2008-04-07T19:24:47-05:00 Jezze Lou http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71211/?l=1#533027 I've tried both sticks seperately, both with same undesired result.<br /> <br /> I can only assume the shop are referring to chips, but that would then mean i could only have 2 x 256mb (512mb total) in the laptop. But I know I can have up to 1024mb ram. text/html 2008-04-07T19:10:29-05:00 Computer User http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71211/?l=1#533022 I've never heard such terminology for system memory. May be he's referring to the number of chips on a stick of memory. 64 MB per chip, 8 chips?<br /> text/html 2008-04-07T19:05:23-05:00 Soul1601 http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71211/?l=1#533019 Perhaps see if they will exchange it? Could be faulty RAM?<br /> <br /> <br /> Did you try 1 stick at a time? See if the PC will even boot from 1 dimm instead of both. An I would try both independently using the same slot. <br /> <br /> text/html 2008-04-07T18:52:54-05:00 Jezze Lou http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/71211/?l=1#0 Hi All<br /> <br /> I recently bought some upgrade memory for a toshiba satellite pro 6000 (it was originally 256 i bought 2 x 512mb sticks)<br /> <br /> Both sticks are pc133 144pin sdram etc etc i checked and double checked before buying but when i put the memory into the laptop it wouldn't turn on.<br /> The shop i bought it from is trying to tell me i needed to get 32x8 memory because my motherboard won't support 64x8?!??!<br /> I've looked everywhere for an answer and it seems to have not been a problem for anyone else.<br /> Is the shop being truthful or are they just trying to get out of a refund?<br /> <br /> Thanks
