In simple terms, 1000 MB = 1 GB
More accurately, 1024 MB = 1GB
btw a Mb is not the same as a MB! and a mb does not exist.
1024 Megabits (Mb) = 1 MB (Mega byte)
Hi and welcome to fixya yes that's why your computer is slow you RAM should be atleast atleast (1gb) and 1gb is equal to 1024MB. and i recommend you to have 2gb RAM if you want to play games
It will be compatible but it is recommended, you use same type of modules(RAM) ie 256 MB + 256 MB 1GB + 1GB Plus the advantage of using two instead of one(If you want 2GB, go for 1-1Gb two modules, depends on you) are, if one fails other works.
Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-5300 with a maximum of 1GB per slot, None-ECC
Hope this helps.
Aslong as you get 512Mb or 1Gb sticks of PC2-5300 none-ecc laptop ram, you will be fine.
just remove the 256mb ram it is the main problem only insert equal memmory of rams in 2 slots, if u insert 1gb ram in one slot try to insert also 1gb ram in other slot, donot inser 2 unequal rams in one time
If the manual says this motherboard support up to 1 GB RAM, you cannot put 2 GB. You can put 2x 512 GB RAM or 1GB RAM
Also try to upgrade your bios, maybe a better bios version supports more than 1 GB RAM.
How much memory did it have before you removed the 256Mb RAM?
If it had 756Mb RAM then the memory in the laptop has 512 Mb plus 256 Mb RAM modules, the 256Mb in the slot you can see and possibly 512Mb in a slot under the keyboard or soldered on the motherboard.
Therefore by removing the 256Mb and replacing with 1Gb memory module will give you a total of 1.5Gb
You RAM module may be faulty or needs reseating in the DIMM slot B. Reseat the both RAM modules then :-
Check the POST information as it boots up, the amount of install RAM should equal to the installed RAM (the total RAM could be 256Mb or 512Mb or 1Gb depends how much memory you purchased with the laptop) less 64 Mb or 128 Mb RAM which is used for video memory (depends upon your video card requirements).
Once you fix your RAM problems you should be able to reinstall Windows.
The specs on the memory are correct, so you purchased the correct type of memory for this motherboard. If your getting no video when you power on with the 1gb stick, I would be willing to bet the 1gb stick is bad. Can you return it and try another stick?
