can i install more memory in my TC1000?

[mcsvcs]

I reported this in another post about opening the case.

I had to change the motherboard on my TC1000. When I removed the 256mb memory sodimm that was installed on the motherboard, I was suprised by what I found. 256mb PC2100 ddr memory.

I tried to install a 1gb PC2700 sodimm but the computer would not start up. I replaced it with 512mb PC2100 sodimm and it worked. I now have .98gb of memory.

I don't know if a 1gb PC2100 sodimm might work.

If anyone hase tried it or is willing to try, please let us know.

So you have two 512mb PC2100 installed, and how is working ? Faster ? Stable ?

I've just bought a TC1000 / 256mb from eBay, I expect to receive it next week and I plan to upgrade the memory.

Thanks for share your experience.

The 256mb PC2100 memory can only be changed by uninstalling the motherboard.

The external memory slot is for PC133 sodimm.

I do have one quirk after this. The system restarts when I shutdown. This may be a problem with the replacement motherboard I installed. I will let you know when I finish checking it out.

ummm, I'm not sure if this helps but my TC1100 came with 512mb ddr277 or ddr333 (not sure) and I added another 512 to the other slot that was ddr400 and everything worked fine

I was given a TC1000 a couple months ago and finally found time to work on it. I had a spare 1GB PC2100 SoDIMM lying around so I tried replacing the stock 256MB PC2100 SoDIMM with zero luck. It wouldn't even POST. I then tried a 512MB PC2700 SoDIMM in the slot and that POSTed. I'm now running Memtest-86 on it which is now 25% passed. All the memory cards are from Micron including the original. I'm going to try putting Win7 on it now that I have it above 512MB.
