I am trying to find out how much ram this notebook will accept: Packard Bell Easy Note MZ35-U-005 I have done a quick google search but havn't found an answer. CPU-Z displays 4# slots for memory in the dropdown. It currently has 2x512mb and I want to put another 2x1GB in the remaining slots.
ok thanks, but what i want to know is will i be able to run as much as 3gb or 4gb? As i know my dell inspiron will only work with a max of 2gb.
The motherboard chipset is the first determining factor as to how much RAM you can install. Most laptops made a year or more ago have a 2 Gigabyte limit. Even if you have a laptop that allows 4 gigabytes and you install it, you will see less than that. 32 bit operating systems can only address 4 gigabytes of memory and unfortunately this includes all devices in your computer that uses memory. So if you have a graphics card that uses 256 megabytes of memory that will be subtracted from the total memory your system is rated for. Same mentioned 2 one gigabyte sticks and that is a dead on recommendation for most laptops. Now if you have a laptop with a 64 bit operating system then 2 X 2 gigabyte sticks is recommended if your laptop supports it.
