Thinkpads Forum

I am looking for some memory for my Emachine T1840 desktop...It is I believe DDR PC 2100 although my computer is reporting that it is PC 3200...which I think is backwards compatibale...anyway I am looking for 512 or possibly 256 megs...let me know what you got.

Yes, both PC2700 and PC3200 are backward compatible with PC2100. They would operate at the same speed, but I think it's still good to try to get PC2700 or PC3200 because they would have a higher chance than PC2100 to be compatible with your future, faster machines.

Thanks for confirming what I thought. And I dont normally worry about future compatibilty....i always just start over with a new computer unless I give it to one of my kids or friends.

I might have two 256mb sticks available soon, if I end up with a replacement PC system board that doesn't take my PC2700 ram.

Any idea on what you will be asking for them?....I am in no hurry.
But since i have your attention...maybe you could answer a question for me...when I bought my new Laptop it came with Vista preloaded and also with the restore cd for Vista...but also a seperate cd for Vista upgrade....upgrade for what? from XP to Vista or from Vista basic to some higher version?

Interesting....is there a part number or something on the CD?

Yes the part number is X12-94303

Not sure exactly what it is, as the part number isn't coming up...BUT does it say Vista Office upgrade?

No ...it says " Windows anytime upgrade"

Maybe to Vista Ultimate...

I'm not sure...maybe tommorrow I'll pop that baby in and see what is what...I'll let you know.

And by the way...you never answered my question about he ram....any idea what you might be looking for on it?

Ok...I tried the cd that came with my laptop...it appears to be for upgrading from a previous version of Windows XP...but the restore cd that came with my laptop from Toshiba says that it is the Windows Vista restore CD...I am confused......
