Hi:

Anyone out there know how picky compaq presario laptops are with the memory
put in an expansion slot? I have a
presario 720US (windows xp, 1 GHZ AMD Athlon, 112 MB RAM). I just called
compaq a couple days ago and they said any PC133 MHZ SDRAM simm will work.
I just stuck a kingston in yesterday and now the computer does a hard freeze
every 60 minutes or so. I pulled the kingston out yesterday and tried
centon and am having the same problem.

I am getting a little worried that my expansion slot may be bad. In which
case I'm hosed since the computer is no longer under
warranty. this laptop needs a memory upgrade bad. it's just to slow running
xp and multiple programs at the same time. any ideas how much it would
cost to have a shop replace the expansion slot if that is even possible? or
would I need
to replace the main board?

thanks

BA

memory selector and it proves not to work.

Hi. This is my friend, Jack Shit, and you don't know him.

so you think it still may be th memory that is bad? I've tried 2 brands and
was thinking maybe the
expansion slot is bad. I'd really love it if it was just bad memory

thanks
