I enjoy an old Dell Inspirion Laptop (7500). From my research, it is merely upgradeable to 512MB. Thats fine. BUT, when i open the memory cover to replace the sticks, i see the memory stick, and an expand slot! (TWO SLOTS TOTAL).
My question is this: If i throw 2 512MB sticks contained by there, will i obtain a gig? or will it single run as fast as 512 MB regardless? Thank you adjectives.
Answer:
your motherboard is only competent to use a certain amount of memory. any memory over that goal will not be used. here is an example: my computers max memory is 1024mb, if i was to install 3 512 memory sticks even though i can put them within, it would be over the max of 1024, and the additional 512 would not be used.
Well first bad, it won't run in the other one surrounded by the first place because there will not be a slot to put it contained by.
It will only sanction what it can address. The other memory area will not be used.
The apparatus will not start!
if the motherboard to the inspiron does not support more than 512mb, and according to the specs it can't, then even if you physically install more memory it will do one of the following:
1. send regrets to POST (it will not pass the BIOS)
2. run beside only the max memory branded and addressed (512 mb surrounded by your case)
more then plausible, it won't boot up
IF your research is correct, each slot will just accept a maximum of 256 MB. Computers are usually designed to meeting processor speed with RAM. If your processor is prehistoric, it won't power (or push) more memory than it was intended to. There are also lots of other factor which dictate the speed of your computer......
I still think we should only just shoot it.
