how wack, i spent fifty bucks on a 256mb memory chip for my computer and the fucking thing doesn't line up with my slot. i wish there was a way to tell on the RAM chip's packaging where the notches are. |

take it back to the shop & get one that does....shouldn't have a problem exchanging... The amount of times people have bought mem at work without coming to see me to check it out is amazing....it's my job, after all, to look after these sorts of things but my users jut won't listen when I tell them about the diff types of memory... Still, their loss; it does mean I've got a drawer full of about 20 mem modules bought by mistake....if they can't use me, then certainly can....& my machine loves me...:)... What Motherboard/Machine have you and I'll find out exactly what spec you need.... |

spliffy btw i meant 7000 (US), not 7200 i went on the "punani" (PNY) web site and they say i need this model: P-171558-B21 171558-B21 4092172 can you translate that to something i can ask or look for at a best buy (US computer store)? |

tits... Try this site at CNET to compare prices... .... That's the trouble with corporate makes like Compaq & IBM, they seem to force you into buying their own make stuff.. Also, chat withe the people at the supplier you choose; they'll know exactly what sort of stuff compaq needs... good luck, mate... |

and quite often, other cheaper more generic memory will work... so yeah, talk to an expert at a mem store/site....it's really a minefield & easy to get stuck... |
