This laptop can take 4G ram http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Gateway-memory/M-1000+Series/M-1625-upgrades.html
if the memory modules are not from the same brand range, this can often be the issue.
it SHOULD be able to run with just 1 2G module but will run better with 2 1G rather than the single, assuming it's the right type for the machine.
If I'm upgrading pc memory, I remove the old and replace with Crucial or Kingston kits so as not to mix brands and ranges.

The laptop constantly beeps. It does not seem to be a quantity of beeps. I can finally boot up after a minute.
I took out one of the 1G memory modules and it boots up ok. I put only the other one back in and it beeps. So looks like 1 stick is bad. I put in a 2G stick and it beeps again. Does anyone know if this computer can support a single 2G module?
