RAM Question!!!

[tariqadkhan]

I have just upgraded my RAM in the inspiron 9300, so i have some RAM to sit around the place. I know someone who has the inspiron 1300, is the RAM interchangeable in these two laptops?

If they both use the same type of ram, then it will work.

run CPU-Z on both notebooks too see if they take the same memory

They both use DDR2 memory, so it should be interchangeable.

put the 512mb into an acer travel mate and it works! dont understand though how the ram reads 504mb on the acer but 512 on my 9300!

because the integrated graphics steals some
