Changing memory chips-memory upgrade - HP Compaq nc6120 Notebook

You mean you installed an SD memory? Did you check memory upgrade limit? i.e.: If maximum upgrade is 8 Gb, it won't recognize a 16 Gb SD memory.
If specification is correct, you should chek SD memory in your computer with a USB memory reader. If computer won't reconize it, means memory is bad and you should claim warranty returrn or change where you bought it

You can upgrade it direct x 10. on win xp.

no you can't change.. loptop is fix.. only the memory can upgrade

Memory or hard drive, they are two VERY different things. Memory is used to store running programs only while the computer is on - is super fast - and gets erased when the computer shuts off because it requires electricity to maintain a state. A hard drive stores information long term.

That being said, memory can be upgraded to whatever the mother board supports, usually 8gb max these days (Good luck finding the memory chips to fit in there though). Most people will get two 2gb chips - as most motherboards have only two slots for memory. Some have more. You will need the correct speed of chips however that your motherboard supports. you can't use 10 year old chips in a modern computer, they aren't the same design.

The hard drive can be upgraded to 1tb, and more, and you can buy external hd's for more convenience.

You can upgrade by inserting a 1GB PC2100 DDR SDRAM DIMM. I would put the 1MB in the first slot and move the 512MB chip to the second slot.
The 1GB should cost around $40.

according to ibm
you are allowed only pc100 memory with a maximum of 512mb.
when handling memory make sure you are grounded before touching any memory chips.
try getting another set of 256mb chips and grounding yourself before installing them.

THERES ONE MEMORY LOCATION R U UPGRADING BOTH CHIPS OR JUST ONE, MOST SYSTEM ONLY COME WITH ONE CHIP U HAVE TO ADD ONE IN THE SAME LOCATION TO UPGRADE OR GET THE HIGHEST SINGLE SLOT CHIP U CAN GET UR HANDS ON,I WOULD SAY CALL TIGERDIRECT AND TALK TO SOME OF THERE SELLS ASSOCIATES THAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE BEST SOURCE OF INFORMATION ON HOW THE SYSTEM IS CONFIHURED

To upgrade your CD drive there is a screw on the bottom of the machine that holds it in place. Remove this screw and the drive will slide out. I buy most drives for my customers and shop from Ebay. I've found that there are some very good vendors with good prices and warranties there. Now for the memory. The memory you need for your machine is PC2100, and 1g is the max. I mainly use Kingston or Infiniton. Both of these are good chips, and there are other good chips out there. I suggest that you use two 512mb chips that are the same make. I've found that sometimes two different chips will create a conflict with each other. The memory is located under a panel on the bottom of the machine. For memory I use pricewatch.com If you have any other questions please fell free to ask.

How can i get information from the memory beginning in 2005

hi there, if is still hardware warranty, don't touch it. use your warranty. better to repalce unit with warranty. Beeping sound means memory problem. The problem is in the slot of the memory chips of the board. If the warranty laft, try to clean the slot of the memory chips to the board and the contact of memory chips. It will work seem you were using it before you upgrade the memory. TY
