Solve : The power of RAM?

Answer»

I have a Sony Vaio, Windows XP.
256 RAM
I don't know what else to say or tell you, and I took these old RAM from a old computer, they are:

 0110 1-2
mT 48LCI6M8A2
TG -75E
(Don't know about this one)


and

HYUNDAI KOREA GM72V66841X7J
9951 AA5
(s-dram pc128-gt aa437611)


Is it possible I can stick these two RAM into my Sony Vaio? If so, how? Like, do I need anything specific? Thanks!Go to www.crucial.com and see EXACTLY what RAM that machine has and needs. It's dowbtful that whatever you have randomly laying around will magically work perfectly and could in fact cause a lot of other problems.

You will need to post your model number in the crucial site. That is something you neglected to even include here.

Or check with Sony.I have a problem, I don't know which VAIO I have. Can someone direct me? Thanks!That's really sad.

Is there info on the case? On the screen when it boots up? If no, download and run BELARC Advisor (free at www.belarc.com) and find out.

The odds are more against you as we go along.Okay, so my model is a RS310, I found out from systems info, and I just looked now, it says it on the case. (BIG LAUGH!) I went to the site, it gave me ones that works. Thanks! One question:

Is it okay if I stick a ram stick in the machine, just to test? Will it conflict with the system? Thanks again.Not unless you do not take precautions against ESD.ESD = ?
electrical s. device? I don't know what that means. Care to elaborate?Electrostatic Discharge.Okay, thanks. So if I just put the card in, if it works = what happens? If it doesn't = nothing happens, right?That is PROBABLY true, but why stick the wrong thing in there? If inserted wrong you could damage the slot, if the RAM itself is defective who knows what could happen? Are you a gambling type?

That model takes 184-pin PC2100 DDR DIMM. As these CAME from older machines I would say absolutely not to the second and 99.9% not on the first, only because we know little about it.Well..... you mean, it could damage my PC? Internally as well? If that's the case I won't risk it. But if it's damage to slot, I'm willing to try. I wreck things a lot. I haven't yet seen a RAM stick that damaged other components.Unless it's a particularly evil stick of ram, bwahahahahahahaSo do I stick it in and it will work automatically or what do I have to do? Thanks!Theoritacally, it should work, if installed properly.  HOWEVER, being you know so little I would take the computer and the RAM to a local computer SHOP and have them install it for probably $30 bucks Quote
