iinserting more ram

[Deedubb]

I have 266 Pentium 4 ( 478-pin processor based AGPset Main board) 2GHz PC with 3 DIMM slots 184 pin which support up to 1.5G for PC 1600 or PC 2100 compliant DDR 2.5V SDRAM module for 64,128,256,512MB. Can I get away with inserting a single 1Gig module one DIMM slot? thankyou

Yes, you can use a single RAM stick. The Mobo manual will tell you the appropriate slot to use.

What is the model number of the motherboard.

You may can only install a 512 MB module in the slots.

go to crucial.com and let it scan your system. It will tell you what you the maximum the slots will support.

you could have done a manual search if the auto scan does not work properly.

Computer memory upgrades for Shuttle AV40S Motherboard from Crucial.com

Memory Type: DDR PC2700, DDR PC3200, DDR (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 3GB
Slots: 3
Each memory slot can hold DDR PC2700, DDR PC3200 with a maximum of 1GB per slot.*

According to the PC's manual: "Each 184-pin DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) bank can accommodate 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, PC1600/PC2100 compliant 2.5V single or double side 64-bit wide data path DDR SDRAM modules."

So the max is 512mb per bank and a total of 1,5gb.

My apologies for not seeing 512MB Max per slot!
Use Crucial's site and search manually for the most accurate results.
You can usually get Crucial RAM from other online dealers at a reduced cost.

Hi guys
I got Ram sorted , I inserted 3 x 512Mb it came alive. But bless my soul would you believe it the hard drive died on my new Toshiba satellite pro. While it was in critical care I changed it to 64bit. I suppose all you geniuses out there have been there done that !!!!!!
It did have the decency to warn me so I got it backed up and "imaged" BUT of course image was for 32 bit. Now question is how do I find out what max RAM I can put in this one and its spec?

Thanks Deedubb

You can use the Crucial site also to find the max amount of Memory and the specs.
