Cool!

 

Then you should be good to go, since I know the memory worked just fine in my PC.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for your help.  

 

I had to find a screwdriver small enough to open the back.  Those things are tiny.

 

 It took 10 minutes to remove the 12 screws and 20 minutes to remove the plastic backing.  I was afraid of breaking it.

 

I got additional instruction from a youtube video posted by a guy from India.

 

I got 8Gb  RAM from Amazon.  It was a few dollars cheaper and I have   free shipping.

 

The installation was pain free but afer replacing it, my CD drawer does not open.  I removed the back again and reset the drawer.  I lined up the holes for the screw and retightened it and it still does not work.   I'll let it go for now.  I bet I have not used it in 6 months.   It won't be long before CD drawers are as obsolete as 8 track players.

 

I am just happy to have the new RAM installed and being able to see that it is visibly faster.

 

Thanks for your help.

You're very welcome.

 

Glad you were able to upgrade the memory.

 

Sorry to read that the CD player is messed up as a result.
