Thanks for the reply Daddie and the information. I dont think its worth the effort for the possible gain. I have two 256Mb dimms available and if I can physically only fit one I am no further forward. I think I'll try and find a Linux distro that can run comfortably on 256Mb ram.   Fozzie ... View more

Hi TPFLegionaire, Thanks for the reply. I already have some 512mb DDR PC2700 dimm modules from another laptop that are compatible thanks and I was planning to try Zorin Lite which has very low hardware requirements (CPU 700mhz 512Mb Ram) but the live distro still struggles with 512mb hence my need to try and upgrade. Below is photo of laptop and also one of labels on rear with all available information. Many thanks Fozzie   Edit, Don't know why by photos are not displaying MSN is 30000840       ... View more

I have inherited an old Medion MD6488 laptop that is badged as a Cybermaxx MD6488 Model Number FID 2040 Notebook PC. It has hardly been used but only runs 32 bit XP. I would like to put Linux on it but it only has 512Mb ram which is very limiting even with lite distros.   Does anyone know how to upgrade the memory on this Notebook PC? Alternatively can anyone point me to a service manual which shows how to disassemble it to get to the ram. The bottom case is solid with the exception of the removable battery and no obvious sign of where the Dimms are located. I was able to remove the keyboard and found the hard drive hidden underneath but no memory slots.   Also what is strange is that CPUid reports 512Mb ram but only one dimm slot containing 256Mb under SPD tab. Is this a motherboard with 256Mb soldered directly to the board? Any help would be welcomed. Fozzie ... View more
