Upgrading RAM
« on: November 16, 2012, 09:43:16 PM »
I used to know of a site that would scan your OS and detect RAM installed, Slots, Maximum Capacity and stick specifications/details so you can go ahead and purchase if desired.
I googled and for some reason could not find what I was looking for. :-\
I believe I got the link and info from another Evang. awhile ago. Don't see him around anymore.
Anyway, any help is appreciated. :)

The site I believe is http://www.crucial.com/index.aspx and use the Crucial Memory Advisor™ Tool.

If you purchase from them they have a guarantee that the memory suggested is compatible or it can be returned, etc.

Seems the older HP LT I just got given to me can handle way more RAM then presently installed. :D :D
