memory for compaq v3000z

I bought my Compaq v3000z (AMD dual processor) almost a year ago, and tried upgrading my memory initially. It was a disaster, I couldn't find a single brand/stick that didn't cause instability issues. A year later and I really want more RAM & stability.

Has anyone out there with a v3000z or HP equivalent (dv3000z?) upgraded their RAM successfully, what EXACT brand/model, etc? I don't want to play the RAM swap game over mail again, it's a major pain!

Thanks!

I have a couple of these 1GB Crucials in my V3000z...

Works fine except for them running in single channel mode instead of dual channel. Other than that they have been rock stable for the past 2 months.

 

They wont run in dual channel mode??? Anyone else have any they have personally tried and are rock solid? Thanks miner!

Yeah, for some reason they dont seem to work with each other in dual channel mode. I borrowed a 1GB Gskill memory from a friend and paired it with 1GB crucial and it worked fine in dual channel. I didnt have time to test for stability but you could try GSkill RAM as well. A user a while back mentioned (link) that they worked for him/her.
