Adding memory I have 1.00 GB of RAM and would like to add more memory if possible. Can I and how?

Pull up a RUN box. Windows key plus R. Then type in cmd and hit enter. Next, using the command prompt that has appeared, type in wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices

Hit enter.

Copy the number you see and devide that by 1048576
You can actually do that in the address bar of your browser.
That will give you the maximum gigabytes your computer will run.

Add more ram is it uses a lot of graphics it might be slow adding more Computer ram will make it faster.

You can update the graphic, by adding a better graphic card, on the mainboard.
The ram can be upgraded to 2 gb ddr2 ram.
A bigger harddrive, can be added, for more space.
The cpu will be hard to find, it probably have socket 775, but this cpu is not available anymore.
And not all cpu`s will fit the mainboard.

Good luck

the specs i read says 8 gig is the max. here is what it says for RAM

check to make sure you have added the right type of memory. also look at your user manual. it should tell you where and how to place the added sticks. sometimes they have to be added in pairs or have to be in specific slots. also if you dont have the manual it is on the gateway site. you should type in your model and serial number and get all the info you need.

Most laptops have 2 memory slots, if you have 1 Gb of RAM using two 512 Mb RAM then you need to replace them with two 1 Gb RAM modules. If you have one RAM module 1 Gb then you only need to add another 1 Gb RAM module. Try to use the same make and speed RAM.

you do not need to change power supply and you can easily add 2 GB of Ram ... no problem nothing to worry

There are two slots for memory on that laptop and it will take a maximum of 2GB of RAM. The memory type is 1.8-V SODIMM DDR-2.
The cover ont he bottom if the laptop is easy to access and add more memory.

hi Rileysue ... what is the model of your HP? ... the ram modules generally have to match each other ... brand should make no difference at all .... start by removing all of the old and add one stick of the new ... you may also have to go into the BIOS each time and verify the change in ram size ... then add the next stick and so on...

You cannot use DDR and DDR2 ram at the same time, because its always been like that (ie, no SD and DDR, or SD and RIMM)

What you should do is switch to all DDR2 sticks.

Does it boot fine if you remove the memory you just added? If it does then try switching the memory that was in it before with the memory you just added. You want to first determine if the ram you bought is bad or incompatible.
