If you put one in alone it should boot up to
256 megs. But you are telling me you put the *old* memory in and it booted
up fine. It is most likely you got the wrong memory. For example you may
need PC100 and you bought PC200. Or yours may be old enough that you need
the PC33. What is most likely happening is the computer bus is not fast
enough for the new memory. The specs for your specific computer, including
which style memory it takes should be either in the manual or online at hp.com

This is kind of weird and hard to explain, so Im
just taking a wild guess that maybe you will know what is going on. And Alex
might know when he gets home, but....
We bought new memory for the computer. Supposedly
512 mb. There are two slots in this computer. I know both are in working order
because I put the old memory in both at one time and it booted up fine. It
depends which slot the new memory is in on what it does, but basicly the Compaq
screen comes up and in the left hand corner it will say "" mb ok. The highest
that number has gone up to is 183, after that it either stops altogether
and wont finish or it goes to a white screen with a whole bunch of colored
dots.
Do you now why ? Wrong kind ? Bad memory stick
?
Thanks
