Hey guys,
Just bought 2GB RAM for my netbook, but when I put it in it's only being registered as a 1GB. Is it just not registering it properly or is there an issue with my netbook/RAM?
Please help

What is the model of the netbook. Although it probably should accept 2gb.0

its the Asus 1005HA Seashell. It can definitely take 2GB cos I checked it all out before I bought it.
The RAM is the Kingston 2GB PC2 5300, which Im sure was recommended.Never knock on death's door, ring the doorbell and run away ..... he hates that :mad:0 -
According to the crucial website, the RAM should be PC2 6400.Try saying "I have under-a-pound in my wallet" and listen to people react!0

many memory banks does the netbook have. Sometimes with computers you can only have so much per memory bank.
according to mr memory :P 200 Pin SO DIMM DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz0 -
Theres only one memory bank. No built in RAMNever knock on death's door, ring the doorbell and run away ..... he hates that :mad:0

So I take it because I bought the 5300 instead of the 6400, this is what is causing the problem?Never knock on death's door, ring the doorbell and run away ..... he hates that :mad:0

That memory should be fine, but when you reboot go into setup and turn off fastboot otherwise it will still think you have 1gb;)4.8kWp 12x400W Longhi 9.6 kWh battery Giv-hy 5.0 Inverter, WSW facing Essex . Aint no sunshine ☀️ Octopus gas fixed 5.07 + Octopus Intelligent Flux leccy
