I need the most knowledgeable computer person this list has to offer! I am writing this message, like my many others, on a Compaq Armada 1100 Series Laptop... In case you don't know what I am talking about, it is now about 6-7 years old, and still uses the old SODIMMs for memory expansion...In about 1 hour, my laptop will be crashing, because unless I reboot it when I am done using it, it runs out of memory (It has 16MB RAM hardwired onto the system board, and will NOT take any more via its expansion slot! I just talked to compaq about 2 weeks ago, and they said that it can only take 48MB max, I figured that's why the 128MB stick wasn't being accepted....I asked them again if this particular laptop will take the usual PC100 32MB SODIMM, which will max it out at 48MB counting the system hardwired 16MB, and they said it would work! Guess what??? IT DOESN'T!!!! Can anyone explain WHY?!?!? The crappy paperweight only thinks it still has 16383KB of total system RAM!!!
Bottom Line: I have a laptop which is stuck in 16MB RAM forever land! And it will be a paperweight if any more RAM can't expand it!!! (Or I will get mad as hell and chuck it into the trash! MY POCKET PC IS BETTER than this piece of CRAP!!!) To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
