Maybe his laptop is eating 128mb for the onboard video?

Hmm id rn cpu-z and determine how much ram it can take and it will give the serial no of the ram already in it and from that you can determine what pin amount ram you have also it will give the speed/bandwidth.

Also tigger raises a good point.

Looks like its ddr333(pc2700)

I think it is taking 128mb for the graphics,you can change it to 64 or 32 in the bios

CPU options:
- AMD Turion 64 Mobile (1.6GHz)
- AMD Turion 64 Mobile (2.0GHz)
Chipset: ATi Radeon Xpress 200M Chipset
HD Bus: Ultra ATA/100
Front Side Bus options:
Memory Speed options: PC2700 DDR333 200pin SDRAM SODIMM

cpu z says that the cpu is runing at 798 insted of 1.60 GHZ

thats cool and quiet. a power saving feature

the cpu will clock up to 1.6 when it is in use

It must be using speedstep maybe.You should be able to turn it off in the bios.

I dont speak french so i cant help you with a french online store,sorry bud.

 

[fafa21]

is it hard to change a laptop's cpu if i get the AMD Turion 64 Mobile (2.0GHz) would i see a big difrence from the 1.6 or should i just get 2 bg of ram for it

Same ive been trying to google an online store but ive no clue sorry.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

I dont even know if you can change the chip.Just get 2gb of ddr333(pc2700) ram,it should be fine.

 

[fafa21]

[Deleted member 24505]

Remember 200pin type

 

[fafa21]

will this work http://www.amazon.fr/Transcend-Mémo...ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1215959676&sr=1-146

or can i get this but it runs at 400 insted of 333 http://www.amazon.fr/Kingston-Value...=pd_rhf_p_t_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1215959676&sr=1-146

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Either will be fine,it will only run at 333 only,so it does not really matter if its ddr400.
