This happened to me too, but I was able to startup with the 1GB card. Then I followed instructions on page 16 to disable boot booster before installing the 2GB card. This worked and I am now good. Hopefully this helps you as well as others.

William as stated below I used YouTube. It was like having a professor next to me. I was extremely careful. Find the year and model of your mb and search with that RAM UPGRADE inside YouTube And u r golden.

I downloaded the manual from asus. There's no mention of a memory upgrade.XP will around for a few more years. Too many computers have XP for it to go away any time soon.

My suggestion is do a search on your make and model on both the H-P website and Tom's Hardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/). I invariably find what I need to know on Tom's site or the manufacturer's. I'm assuming you either have the machine's manual or have downloaded it in PDF format. It should definitely tell you all about your memory and upgrading the same. Hope this helps...

I talked my sister through installing Linux Mint (a branch of Ubuntu) onto hers. She loves it. We used the 64 bit version and upgraded the memory to the entire 16 GB that it holds.

Yes, I just did that with 5x of them and it works perfectly. They come with a single 4gb module and adding a second one improves the memory throughput as well because it then goes in dual channel mode. Just be sure to install it in the same color slot as the one that's already in there and you'll be all set. Hope that helps!

I haven't done it yet, but it shouldnt't affect your ability to upgrade your ram. If anything it will only help your performance.

Unfortunately you can not add memory. I've had no problems with mine running slow and I've never got a warning. Sounds like you may have a Virus or something running in the back.

Please go to Crucial.com and install their tool. They will tell you what ram to use. It is a free utility, and does a wonderful and correct job. It has never given me the incorrect information. This is where everyone should start to select the correct ram. All I did, was gave a critical review of the ram I installed, at the recommendation of this utility. You can't go wrong.

Memory becomes a fanboy issue, I've never had ram fail, and have used Corsair, Crucial, Patriot, Mushkin, Kingston ... currently I'm running 4 sticks of Patriot IEM Viper 3 @2133mhz

I installed it (2-2gb modules) in my Dell 630 and had no major issues. Sometimes after you install the ram it goes through a check that can take several minutes to complete. If this is the case, just walk away from it for 10 mins or so and see if it boots. If you get a memory error beep, either their is a problem with a module or they are not seated all the way.

Kuk: I haven't checked the specs, but can tell you that I purchased the Crucial Technology memory referenced in Roy's posting, and it installed/was recognized by the laptop without a problem.

I have 2 x 8 Gb RAM memories installed in two slots. So far I haven't experienced any trouble.

Yup - DDR3 memory. Read through the reviews to see what memory others have used.

I did a friend a favor some time ago, I purchase the memory and installed it.I believe it was (2 GB sticks) 8 GB total.
