Re: Expand memory in a 170

The older generation of 170's, of which yours is one, will NOT support the 256MB DIMMs. Yes I have tried this and while no damage was caused or magic smoke lost, the system simply ignores those slots. You can cram the thing full of 128MB DIMMs for a total of 1GB storage. While this is above the posted 832MB max for the system it will work fine. You are replacing the base 64MB with 256MB to get to the 1G size.

Help!!!

We have a 170, feature 2159-000 with 128 MB memory in 4 x 3001 (32MB each). We want to add 512 MB in 2 x 3004 (265MB each). Is this 3004 compatible with the 170?

TIA,
Raul
