what is up with my Cpu

[Haus]

i dont know what to think about this. talking about the ram in the other thread i decided to check somethings out on my laptop and it says i have 1Gb of ram. according to the specifications on the M-6320 i should have 2Gb.

this is total BS.

it's possible that the motherboard is only designed to handle RAM on one side of the chip (the black things on both side of the chip) mine has 2x 2gb chips (4gb) but my computer only shows 2gb.

 

[Haus]

from taking the back off my computer there is only 1 stick of ram in there :mad

 

[AnitaBeer]

I'd be calling the company you bought it from and make sure your order said you were getting 2 gigs.

 

[bass_man1989]

Yeah, if you paid for 2gb and got one, I'd call your vendor and flip a bitch.

 

[Mystic]

Yeah, if you paid for 2gb and got one, I'd call your vendor and flip a bitch.

:nod:....also could be the one slot is not registering the ram...faulty MB...either way if its new call on your warranty for it.:nod:

That's weird .. usually laptops don't just come with 1 card of memory.. they usually split it between 2. Maybe someone just forgot to install it before it got shipped out .. I' d just call them about it.

 

[bass_man1989]

Yeah, assuming it's under warranty, Gateway will fix you up.

 

[Haus]

im not going to beable to prove that it only came with one. ill just cut my losses and go out and by another stick of ram. what kind can i get for my computer and be compatible?

 

[SRC]

I just bought 2Gigs for mine on Ebay for $31.95 + $5 s/h .. look over there.

Get your receipt and throw a bitch fit.

 

[Haus]

wow this is embarrassing but some how a stick of my ram fell out of the slot and i found it in the case. :ninja

so now im back to 2 Gigs

 

[GmaN]

lol whooops

should notice a good differance by boosting it up by a gig.

 

[Haus]

yeah its like night and day :24:

 

[bass_man1989]

Especially in VistAIDs, I've had a few people with 1gb machines and Vista and they all told me they ran like shit.

 

[Haus]

you shouldnt run 1Gig and Vista. i know first hand. with all the memory things take your cpu will run like shit. with all the things i run some times im over 1 gig of memory.
