RAM question......i"m new here......

ok i have a Hp Vectra 6/400. i have no idea which series it is though. i dont know where to look to find out either???? lol
Its not the tower style case.....the flat one. i just bought the thing on ebay and its got 64 mb of ram in it now. i want to go to at least 256mb but more than likely 512. im wondering how many pins do the memory chips have, will pc 100 or 133 work, and does it have to be installed in pairs?

thanks for any help you guys can give me!

 

No manulas or anything?? I would have insisted on it. You would be better off going to HP's web site and looking up the model and documentation.

 

been there. didnt find much!

 

according to www.crucial.com it uses non parity edo memory

If not go to the main site and look up the machine with the drop down boxes.

 

i believe its a series 8. i saw the same computer (looked the same) on their auction and it said series 8. i know it has 3 dim slots in it also. according to that site it will hold 768mb!! woo ha
so if this page is correct.....any single dimm chip will work. corrcect?

also.......would it be 168 pin?


thanks guys!!!

 

If you have the correct series crucial's page will give you the correct info

And if it is dimms it will be 168 pin

 

thanks bro!!
