Check your motherboard's specifications for maximum RAM support.
Check your motherboard's specifications for maximum RAM support.
You have an older PC with an ASUS IPILP-LC motherboard, Intel 945GC chipset, and a Pentium Dual Core e2140 CPU. You're planning to upgrade the RAM from 1.5GB to 4GB. Let me know if you need help checking the maximum supported RAM for your setup.
You're puzzled about the RAM information on that website. It mentions support for a 2GB stick, but the specific model you saw seems to reference a different motherboard than what's listed. Also, the link points to an eBay listing with a 4GB RAM, which might be confusing if you're expecting 2GB.
I've noticed these listed RAM limits often don't match what the system can actually handle. Over the years, I've encountered this regularly, so now I usually check it when I have the parts and plan an upgrade. Bonus: I'm right next to a used Compaq Presario SR5302FH board, which I recently upgraded to 4GB (2x2GB). It works perfectly in both BIOS and the operating system.
I understand the maximum RAM mentioned is just 2GB, but feel free to try it if you're willing. Right now I'm using a setup with an IPILP-LC board and 2x2GB of memory.
