    Hi All
    Can some one please advise me ? I want to put some more memory in my laptop its a Compaq M2305NR. Currently has two 256mb of ddr 333 ram , as far as I know I can only put a max of 1 gig in this machine . Can I add a 512 module with one of the 256mb modules ? Should I get two 512 modules ?
    I have seen these modules are they suitable?

    Any advice much appreciated
    Thanks
    Steve

    Happy New Year ;)

    I would stick in two sticks of the 512, especially since you are running XP (I assume) on that machine. The sticks you linked to should be compatable.

    They do not have to match, though 2x 512mb would perform very well.

    I currently have a 512stick on top of the 256mb stick on mine and it was a great performance boost.
