We dont have two of 256 mb each, its just one that
is 512 mb. I did, of course, check hp.com fr the specifications and it said that
we needed either pc100 or pc133. We bought 168 pin, pc133, I was told that pc133
would read in both 100 and 133 speed computers.
If it was the wrong kind would it even read up to
the 128 mb that it does ?

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 .

Me bugging you again. :-0)
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
