RAM Question

jaqian · 2009-05-27 09:07:50

Can anyone tell me if a 2Gb stick of ram will work in a 1Gb slot? Will it be dumbed down to 1Gb or just not work at all?

Depends on the addressing in the BIOS, what's the motherboard model number?

Windows?

Install this:

It will create a report and from that you should be able to find out the motherboard details
