I do believe the old 5500Z has problems with the new (Kingston) memory!

Anyway the 5500Z uses DDR 400 or 533 while the 4720 uses DDR2 667 Memory.

Try to use the both new memory in the 5500Z, if they not works is an incompatibility with he new memory!

Oh right, so they use different types of RAM even tho the shape of the ciruit board is the same, how annoying!

I can't take the other RAM out of the new computer because it is still under warrenty (I had it upgraded at the Acer shop and they let me keep the old RAM).

So it doesn't look like it's gonna work Mai pen rai.

Many thanks for all your kind help everyone, it would have taken me hours of internet trawling to discover this!!

Here's what both RAM's say on them...

Original: 512MB 2R*16 PC2-4200S-444-12

Additional one: KN5120G019717D66472000

on boot , press the button that takes you to bios / system setup

check the ram slots are active

Sorry, I'm crap at computers (as you may have guessed), I don't know how to do the above...

I assumed that if the RAM module was the right shape and fitted in the slot that it was compatable, is this incorrect?

Sorry. OK.

New Laptop: Acer Travelmate 4720

Old Laptop: Acer Aspire 5500Z

Old laptop has 2 ports, it previously had one 512 RAM installed

New laptop has 2 ports, it previously had two 512 RAM's (I have taken one out to put in the old one)

Hi guys,

I have just transfered the RAM module from my new Acer laptop into my old Acer laptop. I did it myself (first time) and it all seemed to go OK (??) but when I turn it on and go into system properties it still shows the pre-upgraded level of RAM.

Any ideas as to what has gone wrong?

I got one done in T-Tee in MBK about 4 years ago. There are 3 artists there and they all seem to be pretty capable. The first price they quoted me was ridiculous, after bartering I got it down to something like 25% of what they said!! The work was good and they designed an original design for me based on my ideas. I had to go back after about 4 weeks for a touch up which they carried out with no questions.

I run Vista and Office 2007 on my laptop and I am very happy with both. However I had to upgrade my RAM to 2GB for vista to run smoothly.

I've got to agree with "Ispeakthetruth" here, the DoW has a boring/bad atmosphere IMHO. There are many bars in BKK that are far superior in terms of atmosphere, quality of food and service. Strange place to recommend...

Perhaps she's checking to see if your dead....how old are you?

Hahaha!!! nice one pumpuiman.

I suffer from insomia as well, not sure if it's related to living here tho. Just general work/life stress. I just watch TV or visit thaivisa!

The only good thing abou the UBC magasine is that it contains all the new monthly delivery menus for Oishi, Pizza Hut etc etc

Why do people eat pigs but not dolphins?

Pigs are farmed. Dolphins are wild animals.

There is a reason for everything.

I don't understand this rational. The "reason" is because the people involved choose to treat the animals in a cruel manner(?!!)

You can buy them in MBK, I have seen a couple of places stocking them there.

My GF did it as well. Not sure about the cost, but I think that it was pretty cheap as she supported herself doing it whilst doing a part time teaching job. Her school was in Huay Kwang.

Hellboy.

You have to bargain your @rse off with the Cali sales people. I got a lifetime, every gym membership for 24k, someone I work with paid 35k for ONE year!! She took the first price. Ouch.

Someone has got far too much time on their hands me thinks...

Don't say you've never laughed before at violent humour? Three Stooges; Road Runner; Young Ones; etc?

I see where your coming from, but I think that it is a very tenuous link between reinacted slapstick humour and a real life savage beating.

Judging by the amount of cloud here in Bangkok today, we are not going to see much.

I'm not sure of the name, but there used to be a pretty big one on RCA (not sure if it's still there).

Hi,

I was driving down Ekamai yesterday and I saw what looked like a pretty huge nightclub called "Cream". I am assuming that it is not affiliated with it's UK namesake, however does anyone know anything about it? is it any good?

Cheers.
