RAM capability
Hi,
I have a "Dimension B110", Intel Celeron D 2.53GHz with 512MB RAM.
I would like increase it to 1G or more. I have couple of questions.
What is the max capability of this machine? How many RAM slots are there and
What is the capacity of each slot.
Regards
/Prasanna

Yes, you can add a 1gb module, but you would loose the performance advantages offered by dual-channel.
You should install memory in identical pairs. Installing a 'kitted' pair is the best way to ensure that your modules are identical, right down to the chip count.

You are right, installing more than 3gb of RAM in a 32bit system, is a waste of memory. Adding an additional 2x512mb modules to the exsisting 2x1gb, should be fine.

When I added a second 1G (matched to the other 1G) I got this beeping sound. When I looked at the slots prior to installing, the original 1G was in slot 4. I removed the second 1G and reinstalled the original in slot 3 and still got the beep with slot 4 empty. I put the new 1G in slot 4 and it worked fine. I then put the other 1G in slot 3 along with the other 1G in slot slot 4 and it still beeped. It appears that slot 3 does not like either of the 1G chips. What is up with this?
