Hi,
My mum bought a Samsung X20 laptop. Does anyone know what's the max amount of memory it will take? I looked on crucial's web site and it said-

* Chipset: Intel 915GM
* Maximum Memory: 2048MB
* Slots: 2 (2 banks of 1)
* Standard Memory: 512MB removable
* USB Support: 2.x Compliant
*

Q: Will my system recognize the maximum upgrade?

A: Possibly

How much memory your Windows OS will recognize depends on which version of Windows you are running. 32-bit versions of Windows will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. To utilize more memory, install a 64-bit version of your OS. More information about OS memory maximums can be found at http://www.crucial.com/kb/answer.aspx?qid=4251.

Q: What memory goes into my computer, and will a faster speed be backward-compatible?

A: DDR2 memory with support for DDR2 PC2-5300 speeds.

Q: How much memory can my computer handle?

A: 2048MB.

Adding the maximum amount of memory will improve performance and help extend the useful life of your system as you run increasingly demanding software applications in the future.

Q: Do I have to install matching pairs?

A: No.

No, you can install modules one at a time, and you can mix different densities of modules in your computer. But if your computer supports dual-channel memory configurations, you should install in identical pairs (preferably in kits) for optimal performance.

Q: Does my computer support dual-channel memory?

A: No.

Your system does not support dual channel.

Q: Does my computer support ECC memory?

A: No.

Your system does not support ECC. Because ECC and non-ECC modules should not be mixed within a system, install the same type of modules that are already in your system.

Will this laptop take 2gb of ram?
 
Yes, 2 x 1Gb DDR2 PC2 - 5300, 667MHz, 200 pin SoDimm unbuffered non ECC. You will need to remove existing module(s).
