I am trying to upgrade the memory beyond the specs max of 384MB
Has any body had success with 512MB or 1GB?
My first try at 512MB failed and resulted in an eratic behavior
Any suggestions please?

Jump to PostYou will have to settle with 384 MB RAM.
(256 MB stixk for your system is ~ $50)
Jump to PostIt's a motherboard thing. It just can't handle more than 256 MB in expansion slot. If there were fix for that (downgrading, if I may add) limit it would come in a form of bios upgrade. The upgrades offered on compaq site do not mention anything about memory capacity.

Jump to PostYou may be able to add RAM beyond the recommended amount, but it will make you computer run slower...if it works at all. Machine as old as you people are talking about are picky about what RAM they will run on which become another consideration.
For those of you …
Jump to PostHi alewis63 and welcome to Daniweb,
You have hijacked an old thread (Aug 13th, 2007)
I don't know the answer to your question but you stand a better chance of someone assisting you if start your own thread and supply a lot more information about your machine, OS and problem.
Jump to Post640 MB is the max. amount of RAM that little guy can take. You have one slot that can take 512 MB DDR max. 128 MB is soldered (for no good reason).
Games, you ask? Anything newer than the laptop in question would have hard time running.
