Hey C.K
You're absolutely correct !. I got a new 16-chip stick , PC133 and it works just
fine now (all total 320M of SDRAM...the wife loves the surfing now !).
I didn't have to upgrade or change anything in BIOS or move the sticks around in
different banks. The returned RAM didn't have any problems either as it was tested
in the store PC and it came up fine (4 chip, double side).
I took your advice and got new stick even though the sale guys who sold me the stuff
didn't know whether it would work...He suggested to bring the PC in for them to check
(charge ~ $45)....I said no-thank and took a chance with the new stick.
Also did chat with the HP support tech last night before posted the question on this
forum and the person was clueless. First of all the person told me the PC doesn't
support PC133 , then retracted and apologized after I sent the PC specs. Then the
person told me it's a bad mem and the solution is get a new one and make sure I don't
run the two memory sticks together...I'm in tech support also and completely PC illiterate
but the support was bad !. Sorry about the rant
Again thank you for taking time to answer my questions.
Cheers
Loc
