Home / Other I-Appliances / Virgin Webplayer Proof of 256 SODIMMs working in the webplayer, and where to get them!

Proof of 256 SODIMMs working in the webplayer, and where to get them! (modified 1 times) STRESSTEST Profile Ok, that last thread was pathetic as far as getting to the nitty gritty of actually gettin' a 256 meg sodimm to work in the webplayer. So here on my soapbox I sit with the raw data: The Sodimm that works is a 16 chip module (8 per side) and you can get this one here as I did: Crucial And you can get another 20 bucks off using this coupon code in the checkout: GENMBPJN20 Now for the proof: Pic1 Pic2 -Stress 06-25-2002 21:24:28

RE:Proof of 256 SODIMMs working in the webplayer, and where to get them! (modified 1 times) adam714 Profile I don't understand . I put 256mg in and had no problem. Althought i find that windows runs a little slower. I may take it out and put in 128. 06-26-2002 07:00:46

RE:Proof of 256 SODIMMs working in the webplayer, and where to get them! (modified 0 times) dimestein Profile Running slower? Do you have a hard drive in and the swapfile sized larger than the memory? I'm curious, thinking about more memory, but not if it's slower! 06-26-2002 20:38:18

And ceartainly not slower for christs sake ;) Im_eguy: If you got that 256 on that link, it will be a 16 chip module and will work! 06-27-2002 00:27:25

RE:Proof of 256 SODIMMs working in the webplayer, and where to get them! (modified 0 times) im_eguy Profile My guess is that his machine isn't recognizing all 256. Here are a few possibilities though... 1) Maybe it's only recognizing 32 meg (one chip) 2) Maybe he really got a 32 Meg Chip 3) Maybe he's not remembering how slooooow it really is with 64 meg 06-27-2002 08:55:22

RE:Proof of 256 SODIMMs working in the webplayer, and where to get them! (modified 0 times) adam714 Profile i started hacking with the audrey and thought that was pretty cool but i got tired of the that so i purchased a webplayer. I like the webplayer better because it's more flexible. I became disenchanted with reading the audrey boards because of the childish attitudes of some of the people there but i guess you just can't get away from that kind of thing. 06-27-2002 09:14:57

RE:Proof of 256 SODIMMs working in the webplayer, and where to get them! (modified 0 times) ccandreva Profile | Email I purchased the folloing, and my web player won't even boot with it installed: http://www.oempcworld.com/item.jhtml?UCIDs=66527%7C1037393&PRID=1021230 256M-SO10016c/2 256MB 144pin SDRAM SODIMM 32Mx64 non ECC, gold, 3.3V, PC100 spec, 100 Mhz, CAS 2 latency, 16C, 2.0" high profile, low density, uses 16x8 DRAM This thing is double-length, so won't fit in most laptops. Is this standard because of the 16 chips needed ? I'm getting confused, but is this the problem where you need 8x16 chips, not 16x8s ? (I veried the module is good in another laptop). 06-28-2002 10:24:07

RE:Proof of 256 SODIMMs working in the webplayer, and where to get them! (modified 0 times) im_eguy Profile The module needs to have 16 chips. I think that what you said, right? If so, maybe for some reason, it's just not compatable... STRESS, The 256 from Crucial works great... It's a real PC now.. Thanks for the heads-up! 06-28-2002 16:09:33
