    Hi,

    I'm about a RAM upgrade on an Amilo Pi1536, and there is a question in which I ask your help:

    The Pi1536 manual states, that 1Gb is the biggest 533 MHz module that the Pi1536 accepts in a slot.

    My question : does anybody use a Pi1536 Amilo with RAM modules bigger than 1Gb ?

    I'm considering a 2Gb + 512Mb RAM config (the 512 would be one of the original modules),
    but don't want to buy the 2Gb until I make sure it works.

    Thanks in advance

    Buy it somewhere it's easily returned. A lot of times manufacturers put out specs with information available at the time, but never update them. It's a Core Duo machine. 1GB modules were probably the biggest modules when it was released. I'd say there's a good chance it'll work, but that's no guarantee.

    I can guarantee you that it will work with 2gb of ram, i have Pa 1510(AMD Turion TL-50), is the same series. I put on 2 GB dual channel. Works perfect till now.

    Hold a moment! Did you install 2GB+512MB RAM and now you have total 2.5GB or RAM? Is that correct?
