Need Help. Simple RAM, Laptop Question
Hello all. I was helping a relative with their laptop which is over 5 years old and running XP. I had a couple of 1 gig sticks of DDR2 RAM from my laptop I was no longer using so decided to upgrade the 1 512MB stick of RAM already in the laptop.
It seems the laptop only supports a maximum of 1 gig of RAM and only a maximum of 512MB in each slot.
Is it okay to keep 2 1 gig sticks in the laptop even though half of it is not recognised by the motherboard as I don't have any 512MB sticks available? Will it damage the laptop?
Thanks.
