Old laptop question
My wife has need of a laptop for her lab at UCSF (high-high-HIGH crime area) and dosent want to use our new fancy one. So I found her OOOLD preasrio 12xl300 in the closet and installed WinXP...
I want to upgrade the memory. The question is can I go over the 256MB maximum upgrade listed in the spec sheet (256+64)?
I know it seems silly but im looking for a throw-away lappy for her to use not my new fancy one. So a $50 investment will save my sanity.

That might answer your question. The system has 64MB of non-removable memory. Looks like the motherboard cannot handle memory modules larger than 256MB in the upgrade slot.

I'll be happy to tell that to you, but you'll be disappointed when you spend all that money on RAM.
