Computer question
I have a HP pavilion PC model XE783, System says It has 63 meg ram. I want
to install more. Took the side off and looked in, It has one memory stick, There are two slots. I have come across two sticks @ 128M each. The physical size are the same as the installed one.How can I tell if they will work in my system? Thanks Charlie |

As long as they are the same type, voltage, etc. as the original RAM,
they should work as a pair. You might look up your 'puter on the HP site, and see what the specs are-if provided. Unless the MB is really ancient, it's chipset will support at least 256mb sdram.

Computer question
First of all make sure your mother board supports which type of RAM
i.e. SD1 or SD2, same thing about the two 128 MB stips also, that what type of RAM are they.. SD1 or SD2 you can ask some friendly neighbourhood computer vendor, ------- the logic is that only supported type of ram should be installed on the motherboard. -------- (If both of the 128 strips are identical) you can put both of them in the two slots you have on your motherboard after taking out the existing 64MB stick. give it a try, all the best On Jan 13, 6:58 am, "Charlie East" wrote: I have a HP pavilion PC model XE783, System says It has 63 meg ram.

Putting PC100 in a system that is otherwise PC133 will slow it down. Nope. It's actually a system with a synchronous 100HMz system bus (Intel 810 chipset, 700MHz Celeron). Check the link I posted. ;-) PC133 memory is overspec, though probably more available. It will run at 100MHz speeds on the system, save for the few DRAM chips that are sadly incompatible with Intel 810/810E and BX chipsets. Best the OP either try with what he has been given, or check websites like Crucial or Kingston for their recomendation and system tested products. -- Adrian C |

Just that 100 shouldn't be used if the system is otherwise 133. |

PC133 *should* work at PC100 speed but in practice I've found that isn't always the case. |
