[rmaruri]

Hi, 

I have Lenovo 3000 N100 0768.

processor - T2060 @ 1.6GHZ

Memory - 0.99GB

I am using vista. so it is very slow. I am planning to upgrade memory to 3 GB as I am using 32 bit operating system.

does my laptop supports upgrade to 3GB?

I have seen PC2-6400 or PC2-5300 series. which one my laptop supports?

Please advise. appreciate your help.

Hi, 

I have placed 1GB RAM in one slot and 2GB RAM in other slot. It is PC2-5300. But the system doesn't detect 2GB. 

Is there any way which slot is detecting and which not? any tools to debug and find the root cause.

I ran CPU-Z tool. here are the details.

Memory 

Type = DDR2

Channel =Single

Size = 2048 MBytes

SPD

Memory slot selection shows only slot #1. Doesn't show second slot. 

module size - 2048MBytes

Maxi band width - PC2 6400 ( 400 MHz)

Please advise.

Switch the memory in the slots.

Then enter bios setup on boot, (press F1 key at Lenovo screen)

and Set to Default, Save and Exit.

Re-enter bios and restore any options you had set before.

(boot order etc.)

I have set BIOS to default. But it is still not recognized.

Here is CPU-Z statistics

Memory

Type DDR2

Size 2048 MB

Channel = Single

SPD

shows only one slot. second slot is not showing

Module size 2048 MB

I have placed 2GB in one slot, 1GB in another. But it shows only 1GB

I have tried many times by setting the BIOS to default value.

Please advise.

let me clear, when you insert (only) 2 gb of ram (into first slot), system recognizes it but as 1 gb, right?

Previously,

I have two slots. one is with 1GB and other it with 1GB. But the systems shows only 1GB. I have thought that one of the RAM might be defective.

Current,

first slot 2GB and second slot 1GB. But the system shows 1GB.

Not sure whether one of the slots is working or not?

Is there anyway to find which slot is defective? anyways to fix it?

Please advise.

press windows + r, type "dxdiag" > enter, then check if how much memory installed on your system. please, post back the results.

Sounds like a defective slot.
Using just one ram module, find out which
one is bad. If one IS bad, no way to repair,
but check for dust, debris, etc.
