This will work in the 8600? I thought it needed to be pc2700 not 2100. Is there a difference?

 

In looking at my 5 page packing slips the memory the 512MB sodimm is 333MHz, I asked on another forum would the Kingston that had the 200 pin that was on sale would work and he said yes. Frys Electronics when talking over their free call phone to their technical reresentative about my installing the Kingston 512MB sodimm to make the total 1,024GB. He said yes also and I have 30 day guarantee if I don't like I can ship it back for a full refund, with none of this for restocking fees either. Here is ccp of Frys Electronics website read what I read after I learned and phoned Frys of the possibility that this would work.

Detailed Description

How much memory do you really need? Memory used to be a simple matter. A computer came with a set amount of memory, and software designers stayed within those limits. But today, new applications are pushing the limits on memory requirements. Even so, software companies often keep their memory recommendations low in order to make their software applications look lean, which doesn't really help the people who use those programs. Ultimately, you can figure out how much memory you really need. Independent laboratory tests have proven that most operating systems and applications are tuned to specific memory requirements. That means there's an optimum amount of memory for the way you use your computer. When figuring your memory requirements, consider three things - the optimum memory configuration of your operating system, your usage patterns and your hardware. The Operating System To eliminate the guesswork in determining a specific amount of memory for your operating system, baselines have been identified for each of the major operating systems and dozens of the most popular business applications. Upgrading to the baseline for your particular operating system is the best place to start. However, if you are using multiple applications in networked or internet environments, consider upgrading beyond the baseline recommendation. Usage patterns Different people use different combinations of applications, and while some people use a given application to its fullest potential, others might only use a few functions. It all depends on what kinds of tasks you're trying to accomplish - like administrative, number crunching or design tasks for example. But there is an easy rule of thumb: look at the size of the files you most commonly use and allow for 3 to 5 times that size in RAM. Hardware The peripherals attached to your system can also be key indicators of memory demand. CD-ROM drives, scanners and graphics accelerators are all indicators that memory-intensive applications are at work. Different users - different memory needs Understanding typical usage patterns is the first step to determining memory requirements for all types of workers. Typically, administrators and service professionals rely on a core group of applications like word processing, fax and e-mail communications and simple spreadsheets to get their jobs done. Executives and analysts use a greater variety of applications and typically keep more than three programs running at one time. Engineers and designers with expertise in page-layout, illustration or 3D modeling require powerful systems with greater memory requirements. Reading the chart Kingston has created a chart to provide some reference points to help you assess your optimum memory needs. Select your operating system and cross-reference it with your typical usage patterns to see what adjustments, if any, should be made to the baseline recommendations. Select your operating system from the list below: Windows XP Windows 2000 Professional Windows 2000 Server Windows 2000 Advanced Server Windows 98 Windows 95 Windows NT 4.0 Windows NT Workstation Windows ME Mac OS X Mac OS 9 Linux * Please Note: These figures reflect work done in a typical PC environment. Higher-end workstation tasks may require up to 1Gb. Naturally, chart such as these evolve as memory needs and trends change. Over time, developers of software and operating systems will continue to add features and functionality to their products. This will continue to drive the demand for more memory".

Hey Chazzy, any idea if this memory stick would work with a HPZV5000Z also. for 65 bux plus shipping is pretty cheap compared to the usual 90 or 100+ dollar on a regular stick of memory. I am interested in getting one for my HP but from the spec, I am a little worried it may not fit. Thanx.

ei chaz... so how was it??? its working good in 8600???
