Will 1GB SODIMM 's work in an L5GX ?

Does anyone know if you can use two 1GB SODIMM 's in an L5GX (L5000GX) to bring total RAM up to 2GB ?

TIA.

 

Looks like you can. But you gotta find DDR 333 SDRAM.

 

You saw the same info that I did. The reason I posted my question is that most memory providers, (Crucial, Kingston, PNY, etc.) only list 512MB SODIMM 's as the largest capacity for the L5GX. I asked Asus and amazingly they said that they do not know themselves, because they do not keep any documentation for discontinued products other than the manuals, and their manuals do not list that info.

Crucial offers a return if it does not work, but I was hoping to find someone who had tried it, and could tell me whether or not they were successful.

 

That 512MB SODIMM is probably the largest capacity if you are running at 667mHz or anything higher than 333 mHz.

Then again, I am not entirely sure. I guess the best thing you can do is try it out and see what happens.

 

I am guessing you are referring to overclocking ?

I would just like to see it work reliably at the standard clock rate.

Do you think that there might be an advantage to using DDR400 instead of DDR333 ? Or would that make things less likely to work ?

Thanks for the help.

 

I am not referring to overclocking. You can't turn a DDR 333 mHz stick into a DDR 667 mHz stick.

Based on the information above, your computer should not be able to use 2x1GB DDR400 sticks. What you need to look for is 2x1GB DDR333 sticks and try that. If that doesn't work then you might be SOL.

Good luck.

 

Why is that? I thought that faster DDR was always backward compatible to a slower pc (i.e. that DDR400 should theoretically work in a pc that was designed for DDR333) ?

 

Well I tried it and it works. 2 - 1 GB SODIMMS to total up to 2 GB. Hope this helps someone else too.
