Upgrading laptop memory advice

My uncle has given me a 256MB SODIMM as it did not work in his laptop, it dosn't work in mine either.

I have a CTX Pentium P233MMX laptop (Socket 7) which think uses a 66Mhz FSB if I remember correctly.

Does anybody know what generic memory my laptop is likely to require and if it needs to be installed in pairs? It currently has two banks of 32MB modules in there. The laptop really needs 128MB RAM to run a decent Linux kernal with a modernish windows manager.

So I will I need 2 x 64MB sticks or will 1 x 128MB RAM do the trick? I have been told that chipset on the motherboard will only regonise upto 128MB RAM.

Thanks for any advice.

 

You could download the System Scanner from crucial and let it tell you exactly what you have in your box or you could let them tell what memory will run in your box.
