Foursprouts 0 #1 April 26, 2006 Hi, Have just bought a laptop off ebay and thinking of upgrading the memore to 1024MB it currently has two 256MB installed. Here is a link to the tech page. http://vaio.sony-europe.com/view/View.action?section=Products_ITE&productcategory=%2FComputing%2FVAIO+Notebooks%2FVN+Previous+Models%2FPM+FS+Series&productmodel=%2FComputing%2FVAIO+Notebooks%2FVN+Previous+Models%2FPM+FS+Series%2FVGN-FS215S&productsku=VGNFS215S.CEK&site=ite_en_GB&page=ProductTechnicalFeatures Can I put in DDR2 type memory as have been told it is better? Also could you explain the PC2700 bit. Would it be best to buy I 1024MB module or two 512 ones? Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer.

vpozzoli 0 #2 April 26, 2006 Hi, PC2700 is the speed rating of the memory modules. While you can use faster memory (up to PC4000) you will not experience any increase in performance, as the motherboard will still drive the memory at the lower speed. Your best option is to buy some good brand PC2700 modules as opposed to some cheap no-brand faster memory that will give you no performance increase but might give you stability issues. As for the single 1024Mb modules, from the specs it looks like the maximum size module that is supported is 512Mb, a 1024Mb module should not work. Two 512Mb modules should work fine. Ciao, Vale Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
