 |
|
A friend of mine has a private labeled Gateway 2000 ,G6-350.
He was complaining that his system was real slow.When I went to system
properties it states it only has 48mb ram installed,could that be
right? He's using it at work so I couldn't get inside. Does anyone
know how much memory it should be capable of holding?
Thanks |

It could be, if therer are 16+32 MByte DIMMs in the system.
The system will have either two or (more likely) three memory slots, each of
which can take up to a 256 MByte DIMM. The DIMMs must be low-density
(8-chip 128 or 16-chip 256), PC100 or PC133 -- most SDRAM these days is high
density and won't work. Beyond the specs, price is your guide - a $30 256
MByte DIMM is high density; low-density 256s cost about twice that.

Woodbutcher:
Go to this crucial.com link and download Belarc Advisor:
www.crucial.com/support/belarc_download.asp
Install the program. It takes a snapshot of the system, and
it shows you exactly what size RAM is in each memory slot.
It shows all the hardware on the system, as well.

I think I would err in favor of buying only PC100 memory for a G6-350. The
circuitry on older 440BX chipset motherboards (e.g. the SE440BX and similar
Intel-made boards used by Gateway) often balks at PC133 memory.
