Help i do have 2 slots in my cpu for my memory cars one is 256mb and a 128 mb cards but whwnever i check the system information on my computer it is just showing that it has 96 mb RAM. what do you think is wrong with my pc?

Hi - according to memory suppliers your T23 has the following memory capacity / requirements:

• IBM ThinkPad T23 maximum RAM capacity: 1GB
• Your IBM has Two (2) memory slots or sockets
• Module upgrade PIN count is: 144-PIN
• The memory speed is: SDRAM 133MHz, PC133
• The laptop DIMM type for the ThinkPad T23 is: SODIMM, SO-DIMM, Small Outline DIMM
• Non ECC

If you are meeting these requirements, you may have a defective module.

Also, according to Lenovo's page on the machine:

Memory
The system has 128MB or 256MB of memory standard and can be configured for up to 1GB of addressable memory. Memory options up to 512MB SDRAM SO DIMMs each can be added in the two available slots for memory expansion. The standard 128MB of memory is expandable up to 640MB and the 256MB of memory is expandable up to 768 MB of addressable memory with 64, 128, 256, or 512MB SO DIMMs without removing the 128MB SO DIMM that is standard in one of the internal slots for memory. For customers that need the maximum 1GB to which memory can be expanded, it is necessary to replace the 128MB or 256MB card with a 512MB card plus add another 512MB card in the extra slot. Only 133MHz DIMM memory can be used in this system. The use of 100MHz DIMM memory is not supported in the T23 systems.

This means yo can trouble shoot the 512MB modules individually by installing one of the original 128MB modules and one of the new 512MB modules (for a total system memory of 640MB). If it does not boot, try again with the other 512MB module. This will help you identify a defective module that may be preventing the machine from booting.

I hope this helps & good luck!

Hello. The best solution for your graphic card replacement is, in my oppinion, ASUS ATI RADEON 9550 GE. It is 128-bit series model, and it is better with 128MB of memory, because with 256MB is much more expensive, but almost no difference.
Best wishes, SteveTM

A couple things you might try.. remove the card carefully and check the position of the "lock" tab. Make sure it is fully in the unlocked position - not locked or a point between the two positions. Reinsert and try again.

It sounds lie you're using a card reader to download the pictures - try formatting the card while in the card reader via computer. The card should be completely empty when the format is complete. You can even try copying files to and from the card to make sure its ok and format again. When complete, try again in camera.

If the problem persists, check to make sure the card is on Nikon approved memory card list for use with the Coolpix L1 (provided below):

The following is a list of approved memory cards for the Coolpix L1 digital still camera. These cards have been tested and approved for use with the Coolpix L1.
The L1 uses SD (Secure Digital) memory. Sandisk:

• 64MB, 128 MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1 GB, 256MB*, 512MB*, 1GB*
  

Toshiba:

• 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1 GB, 128 MB*, 256MB*, 512MB

Panasonic:

• 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 1 GB, 256MB*, 512MB*, 1GB*

* - Cards rated for 10MB/s (high speed) Other cards have not been tested. For more details on the memory cards listed above, please contact the manufacturer.

The list came direct from Nikon Support. Other cards may work, but only those on the list are approved. Successful use of other cards can not be guaranteed.


I hope this helps!

The Thinkpad is installed with 128 MB SDRAM is standard, and is expandable to 512 MB
There are two memory slots, to expand it to 512 Mb you need two 256 Mb RAM modules and throw away the 128 Mb RAM module, but if you don't throw away this module and you insert a 256 Mb RAM module in the 2nd memory slot then your total memory would be 384 Mb.

I am glad to hear that your PC is running well. If you need any help again in the future we will be here. This is something we like to do, so there no having to tolerate at all. Only us helping you to understand your problem.

if you have onboard graphics card that shares the ram memory with your graphics card then the configuration in the bios will determine how much memory is shared with your graphics card so you will lose memory there. Also windows xp does not always report the correct amount of memory so check with cpu z or wcpuid or another utility to check.
Also when you restart your computer when it detects the memory how much does it show that is installed there or if you go into the bios does it show the correct amount.
If it does not then it is not compatable and I would suggest going to www.crucial.com and selecting / getting the correct memory by selecting the correct computer / motherboard that you have.

OK, according to Crucial.com your RAM does need to be installed in matched pairs.

Here is a link for your computer information:

If you get another 512MB module and install both pair, it should work well.

Hi again,

It would seem that you posted twice. Here's the link to your other post with my reply.

Cheers.

Hello there.

If you goto this webpage you can run the 'scan my system' icon which will let you know which is the best suited memory for your system.

Crucial memory comes with a lifetime guarantee!


Hope this helps.

how old is it ? It;s possible that the total amount of memory that it supports is of 256MB

It should not matter the fact that the memorys on the slots have different sises
But u have to check u're user manual, it contains all the info. u need....

Also u can try a BIOS update ....
