Hello Everyone:
I am trying to install 512 mb of ram into a IBM 600 Stinkpad. I am pretty sure that it is 512 but not positive. It reads as 32 mbs, when I go into my computer properties and check the processor, etc. Do I need to configure the new RAM if so how?
Thanks
Art
Not sure, but some laptops have shared memory between graphics card and rest of the computer. Check in your BIOS if there is some memory being allocated to the graphics card.
Not sure which version you have but I see a few that are only maxed out at 288MBs of RAM.

The ThinkPad 600 comes with 64MB of SDRAM, which is upgradeable to as much as 288MB using two SODIMM slots. This prepares you to use next year's complex, memory-intensive software.
I am completely lost now! I went back to my old 64mbs of ram and it still only reads it as 32 mbs? What did I do? Can I use the 512, but only 288mbs of it? (See Above Post) Where do I go to change it? In easy-start F1 it shows either the full 512 or 64 but is only using 32 of it?
Totally Lost
Thanks

Not sure. Can you post your exact model number/style?
288 is right! you can only use 128 sticks for 2 slots with 32 on board makes 128 X 2 = 256 + 32 = 288!
Thanks

Nope thats why I quoted it. :D
Art, O so thats why it showed only 32 mbs of RAM then 512stick cant even be seen since its incompatible. You'd think it would just show the 256 but go figure.
