Lombard RAM in Pismo?

2005-10-09 Thread Dante McLean
Is RAM used in Lombard the same stuff that goes in Pismo? My Mom's Lombard hard drive just died, and it makes more sense to buy a new machine at this point (case is in brutal shape) than to replace the drive. I'm hoping to pick the carcass before we bury it. -- Regards, Dante McLean Dante

and Lombard RAM is PC66, although some owner-installed SODIMMs may be PC100. Pismo is always PC100 or better, and was PC100 from the factory, although PC133 may be owner installed. If you SODIMMs are PC100 or better, and read as their correct sizes on your Lombard, they will work in a Pismo

It could but it depends on chip density. Pismo can use higher density memory chips that sometimes older memory managers in the Lombard and Wallstreet can fully recognize. Mostly, the Lombard and Wallstreet memory managers cannot accept higher density DRAM chips. Watch out for double-sided

It depends on the memory controller. The WS, and probably the Lombard too, can only address module with 128 Mbits chips. So if the chip has 8 modules (regardless their density): 128 mbits x 8 = = 1024 Mbits = 128 MByte In my wallstreet I have a 512 MByte module that is seen as 256 as it has
