Memory Mystery: Please Help! Need Hdwe guru
Hi team
I have another newish to me Windows 7 project underway. This is a Aopen Minicube, a budget-clocker popular with that tweaky crowd.
It is running Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit, Activated/Validated/Updated.
The system has a sort of hybrid Mobile/Desktop design. Very feature rich with lots of gadgets. It is running rather well with only 512MB of Mem so I am trying to load to max 2x1GB memory modules. Thought it would be easy. NOT!
The motherboard is an Aopen UX915G-M using Intel's mobile version 915G/M chipset, and a Pentium M running 1.86GHZ @533MHz FSB. The memory in it now is Buffalo branded, 512MB, 1.8v, and though I cannot tell anything unique about it, it works, and a larger 1GB Kingston DDR2 I tried in it fails, though both on the surface have the same specs. The Kingston KTB-8400A 1.8v part fires right up in my Dell Optiplex GX520. The Buffalo is a single-sided board, 8 chips. Running SIW, I get the following detail for the installed memory:
Running System Info Windows [SIW] it detects this for the memory module:
Max Capacity: 2048
Max Size 1024
Mem Slots: 2
Non-ECC
DRAM Frequency: 266mhz
Memory Timings: 4-4-4-12 (CL-RCD-RP-RAS)
Mftr: Melco
Capacity: 512MB
Speed: 266 MHz [DDR2 533]
Mem Timings: 4-4-4-12-16 at 266.7MHz, at 1.8v Data Width: 64 bits EPP SPD Support: No XMP SPD Support: No
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Can someone please help me figure out the specs of what I need to order? Aopen has thus far been of no help. They don't even list the motherboard on their support site, and the references to it on the web, while positive, are not helpful for this purpose.
thx
