If my ram is 2 gb. and 256 built-in video .. ?? it is ok?

Hello here is the homepage:

http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_Detail.aspx?CategoryID=1&DetailID=436&DetailName=Feature&MenuID=24&LanID=0

Your mainboard supports:

2 DDR DIMMs
Supports DDR266 / DDR200
Max. 2GB

You can easy add 2, 1gb modules.

I recommend 2 gb ram.

Good luck

Yes you can, at least to 1 Gb maybe possibly to 2 Gb.
There will be two memory slots in your laptop. To increase the RAM to 1 Gb install another 512 Mb RAM module in the empty 2nd memory slot. Make sure you use the same make and speed RAM as the one that is installed.
If you have two 256 Mb RAM modules installed in your laptop then you need to replace the two 256 Mb RAM modules with two 512 Mb RAM modules to get a total of 1 Gb RAM.

Please check in to your Bios system maybe share memory Video or capacity is setting

Yes the dealer is correct that the 256 MB of your RAM is allocated to the video card of this computer since the unit has a built in NVIDIA GeForce 7025 Shared video memory (UMA)that uses 256 MB of your RAM , so if you like to maximize the use of your RAM you need to install a expansion video card.

You need the EXACT speed rated RAM.
Your support page states it needs.....
400-MHz DDR2 SDRAM
NOTE: Your computer supports only registered memory

Memory capacities
256-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, and 4-GB ECC

256-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, and 4-GB ECC modules to a max of 16GB

• DirectX® 9.0c

if you do, please tell me exactly what happens when you try to install the game

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

you need video card that supports directx 9..You should be fine with having 256 RAM.

there is a hardware compatibility list for all pc, chances are your pc have exceeded its maximum allowance for any upgrade, even though you have installed a higher value or capacity of RAM.

try reinstaaling once again and make sure you have the right speed allocation on your RAM , make sure that the ols RAM and the new one has the same PC___

your laptop has:
PCs built for Windows XP normally can handle 1 GB to 2 GB of memory.
PCs built for Windows Vista normally can handle 2 GB to 4 GB of memory.

This is what you need and the pricing is there too.
