Will this ram work in my laptop?

Hello,
I need to know if this ram will work in my laptop. I spent a lot of money on it so I want to make sure it will work before I open it. My laptop is a Compaq V4000t. I got two sticks of this ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820231042.
Sorry about the dumb question but I need to make sure .
Thanks,
Tim

 

Looks good to me! Should work...I don't know too much about that brand though.

If you are looking to spend a little more money you could get the Transcend (Samsung) memory...it is only a couple of bucks more.

 

Now I wont be woried that it wont work when I open it today. It has been torture working with 256MB of ram. Only a few more hours to go .

You will definently notice a big difference in performance. You will never settle for anything less that 1Gig again. Believe me!

 

RAM installed: 256 MB DDR SDRAM

The one you're buying is DDR2 RAM

I don't know if DDR is compatible with DDR-2?

The V4000T has DDR2 listed from Compaq here:

That RAM should work.

 

in that case: I agree

 

You are right...DDR2 doesn't work in a DDR1 slot...the pin orientation is different.

Good observation!

 

Okay wait I got confused. It will work right?
Tim

 

Yes it will work. He was just concerened that if the V4000T did not support DDR2 it wouldn't. Sorry for the confusion, yes it will work.

 

Thanks,
Now if I could just get my ******* wireless to work good .

I don't know how people are having problems with it. Mine worked fine after I updated the driver. Here is a thread if you are interested in trying to get help.

I googled it and found that there were new drivers from Intel and I haven't had problems since.

 

Which drivers did you install? What type of router do you use?
I really don't want to try and replace it if I could just get it to work good. It's sad when your transfer rate goes down to 1Mbps and you still have a great connection .
This weekend I am going to reinstall windows maybe that will fix it. We are also using a wireless modem but I am going to try out a D-Link router. I think the modem might not be able to handle two wireless connections because our desktop slowed down after I had the ethernet cable plugged into my laptop. I don't know it just bugs me.
Thanks,
Tim

 

I am at work right now and my computer is off so I can't remote into it right now.

I am using a Netgear router at home and it is the only wireless that is active in my house. My other lappy isn't on very much.

If you are using a DSL modem as a wireless router I have heard of slowdown from that. It could also be where or what you are downloading. If you want to test your connection to your computer you can try:

This will give you an idea of what you are getting in terms of speed.
