RAM: Compatible & Incompatible Ram Modules v2.0

You must have misread that. They concluded that the AAO simply has a percentage that fail in that manner,(as is expected with any type of electronics.) and that it was a coincidence that they had kingston 667 ram in them. there were other people who had not upgraded or even cracked open their AAO who had the same problem. It's just a big coincidence.

 

YES the difference is HUGE. pc-xxxx is just a different way or representing the speed of a module. pc = DDR(or earlier type) pc2= DDR2 pc3=ddr3 etc. anyway, DDR/pc is incompatible with DDR2/pc2 they are electronically incompatible. a DDR stick will physically not fit in a DDR2 slot.

If you're having trouble finding RAM consider looking on newegg.com? (idk if they ship to australia) or ebay?

 

steer clear of the Corsair VS1GSDS667D2
error's while running memtest
it is unstable, although it's hard to tell if your not pushing your one to it limits

 

Is this the official list?

Patriot PSD21G8002S (PC2-6400 800Mhz SODIMM CLR5) works fine.

 

Please read the List again. There are 2 Types of Kingstons they vary in Voltage. The ones with higher Voltage are unstable and crash. The higher voltage models seem to be an older version of the new xxx1G and xxx1GR models,which work 100% fine now.

This list gets updated every once in a while not sure if there are other lists around.
There is a 1st list that is never updated. So yeah

 

CORSAIR VS1GSDS667D2/EU G works fine for me.

 

added ty

 

Used the Corsair VS1GSDS667D2 as well and is working fine.

 

Please could anyone be so kind as telling me if either of the following sticks of Ram would work?
I'm ever so slightly dense and couldn't figure out whether they would be a safe bet or if they are the ones mentioned in the "In question" section.

Corsair - http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3435850/-/Product.html
Kingston - http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3274801/-/Product.html

Thank you!

 

Well the Corsair one is exactly the same as the one I posted right before you as working in mine :?

 

I did mention I was dense!

Actually I think I'm right in saying this corsair is mentioned in the main list as being reported as unstable by some users -
"Corsair VS1GSDS667D2 - Some Reported as Unstable" It's the same thing as we've both posted isn't it?

 

Put mine through a 48 hour memory test and its 100% stable.

Nearly every memory module will have some which fail in the first 48 hours or show some instability. Thats a manufacturing fault and can happen to any make and model.

It also appears as if the onboard RAM cab display some instability which could make it appear to be the add-on.

 

Thank you for the info

 

Well i seen ppl runing VS1GSDS667D2 (With out the /EU) Fine but i also seen a good hadnfull of ppl run in trouble with them.
It might be b/c some people aren't looking at the details and didn't report the Complete Serial Number with the /EU
Who knows But i will be removing the non /EU from the list to play it save.
It wont mean its completetly faulty, but the /EU seem to have a 100% chance so far.
Where as the non /EU seem to have a good 25% fail rate from all the users on here.

:mrgreen: Hope this helps.

 

I actually had a long hard look at the list of numbers and went with the Kingston in the end
But I will let you know how it goes! *Fingers Crossed*

Edit - Its working perfectly

 

Kingston 1GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Laptop Memory Model KVR533D2S4/1G - Retail
Item #: N82E16820144183

$14.99 at the 'Egg, working fine for 2 months so far .

Very stable, no issues.

 

Just tried installing PNY 1GB DDR2 667 "Optima" memory in my Aspire one 110L, but is wasn't detected. BIOS setup and Linpus both reported 512MB, other than that seemed to run normally. I re-seated the memory but that changed nothing.

On the bar-code on the packaging it says "SODI101GBN/5300/2-BX", on the DIMM itself there is a sticker

PNY Technologies Europe
1GB DDR2 SODIMM
64A0TFTYE8G17

on the other side of the DIMM is a sticker

AE 1GB DDR2-677 CL5, PC2-5300S-555
AET760SD00-30D

Chips are labelled
AENEON
AET93R300
B 0815

I'll let you pick which one of these you want as the part number.

Edit: a colleague tested the RAM stick in his laptop in the meantime and it worked, so it's not a case of the RAM being DOA. On-line shops list the RAM with identifier "SODI101GBN/5300/2-BX" so I guess that one's the part number.

Thanks Akruppa,

Is that laptop gaming ram ???
Thats some nice ram shame that the aspire one down clocks them all.

Updated List =D

 

Not even sure if that's particularly fast ram... it was the only brand/type of 1GB SODIMM the shop had.

I noticed that you listed the RAM under Compatible/Working, but this RAM did NOT work for me.

PNY SODI101GBN/5300/2-BX does NOT work, it isn't detected by the BIOS. The AA1 still runs, but with only 512MB.

I'm using PNY Optima 1gb part number MN1024SD2-667, seems stable to me.
