Hi,
I have a 4 year old HP Pavilion ze4417, which was shipped with 2x256Mb
266MHz PC2100 SODIMM 200pins RAM. Specs say that it can be upgrade to
1G (2x512Mb). I've just bought a Transcend module of 512Mb, according
to the laptop specs (see above), installed it correctly, but the
laptop does not recognize it (in BIOS). First I thought the problem
was at memory side, so I replaced the module with another one (same
configuration), but the result was identical....
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Raz.

laptops can be very finicky about memory upgrades you could try crucial.com
for the perfect match.

I agree: Crucial, though more expensive, is the RAM of choice.

I just upgraded an HP zd8000 with a 2GB chip from Kingston, and it
worked fine, reported a full 2.256 GB RAM in BIOS and XP. It was DDR2
667Mhz, mixed with the older PC4200 RAM.
HP website said this would only take upto 2x1GB chips.
I suspect the memory is in the problem. Try to upgrade the BIOS.

Please log in for more thread options I disagree; Crucial is Micron, and many other makers (Samsung, Hynix and
others) actually make better memory. However, I do like the crucial WEB
SITE, for getting information on what any given laptop needs.
