Hey guys

Trying to add another 1gb ddr2 667 so-dimm to my girlfriends Advent 7201 running Home premium so she stops moaning its slow and trying to use my rig/notebook.

Add new stick, bios (very limited settings available to change) and windows only report 1gb. :(

Although trying them individually they work fine on their own.

Any ideas?

what is the max RAM it will take?

Plus might be useful to check it with Crucial's memory advisor

"Maximum Memory: 2048MB
USB Support: 2.x Compliant
Chipset: Intel 943GM
Standard Memory: 1024MB non-removable
Slots: 2 (2 banks of 1) "

Except it is removable.

They are not matched, which I am thinking may be the problem. :o

It isn't a problem on my notebook with 2 different dimms, neither was it any trouble for my old toshiba sat pro. :confused:
 
right ordered another stick to match the new samsung one, as I can't locate the make of the OE stick anywhere on the net. if that doesn't work, I'm stumped.
