If not, I thoroughly recommend that he does.
It's a lovely place and Thetyim is a great host/guide.

^ When you coming again then ?

man with no head · 10-04-2007, 05:08 PM

I'll have to look at the map again since it's been 3 years from the time I went by bus from NK to CM.

I expect to head that way the weekend of May 5-8.

I'm hoping to spend 2 days or so in/around CM so if time permits I could install the memory as well

Also, there's a panel in the cover (behind the screen) - Is that a wireless internet thingy? If so, how do I get it to work?

I had a look in my stash and all I have for laptop memory is 2x256MB PC2100/DDR266.

Wifi is usually enabled by a mini-PCI card that typically goes in a space underneath the laptop (or a PCMCIA card that fits in the side...there are also USB adapters as well).

I'm looking at the manual for the 290 and don't see what you refer.

D'oh!

You're referring to the 2800. The cover is for Compaq's MultiPort module....it allows for either WiFi or Bluetooth (if you can find the module...there are some for sale on ebay for about $50).

I would be more than willing to take one of them off your hands.

I could go and have a shufti around Panthip.

Cheers.

I've got a spare 256 MB DDR2 RAM stick for my Acer laptop. It's the one I took out to upgrade the slot to 512 MB. Markings: "hynix Korea 08 256MB 1Rx16 PC2-3200S-333-12". It is quite popular.

man with no head · 11-04-2007, 07:56 PM

Here's what I have: first come, first served (if you live along my travel route that is):

2x512MB PC3200/DDR400 (Micron) - CMN
1x256MB PC2700/DDR333 (Kington)
1x512MB PC2700/SSE333 (Kingston)
1x512MB PC3200/DDR400 (IBM) - Thetyim
2x256MB PC2100/DDR266 (Nanya) SODIMMS - MtD
1x256MB PC2100/DDR266 (Samsung)
1x256MB PC2100/DDR266 (Nanya)
2x256MB PC133 (Micron) - Thetyim

Thetyim · 11-04-2007, 08:31 PM

Can you put my name on the 512 DDR400 IBM ?

ChiangMai noon · 11-04-2007, 08:32 PM

This is turning into a wonderful scrounging thread.
Thanks surasak.

man with no head · 11-04-2007, 08:39 PM

I'll have to see what else is in my box of goodies

Marmite the Dog · 12-04-2007, 03:57 PM

I only need one stick of 256 RAM, so if anyone else needs to boost their laptop, put your request in for the other one.

Thanks Surasak.

ChiangMai noon · 19-04-2007, 12:35 AM

Sorry to bump thios one.
It's nearly my birthday and my mum is here being sick and tired of my slow response time and not being able to do anything with a computer at 100% cpu every time I burn something, she bought me some rams.
Took the old stick down the shop and got Apacer pc3200 CL3 (1 GB). Unfortunately the computer (the voice) tells me that there is a memory error. I tried several times, but it didn't like the stick so I gave up and shoved the original back in. I knew I should have waited for Surasak.

NickA · 19-04-2007, 10:27 AM

^Oh dear!

Frankenstein · 19-04-2007, 11:31 PM

So... what will it cost me to get another one of these below 1 GB sticks and what parts of the info should I give to the shop? This is an original notebook RAM, I should mention, an ASUS notebook. Seems like Cpu-Z does not know the manufacturer, unless FFFFFF is a company.

ChiangMai noon · 20-04-2007, 12:04 AM

^
It cost me something like 2800 baht for a gigabyte of rams.
I'm so fukking happy that i can do stuff while doing other stuff.

Marmite the Dog · 20-04-2007, 12:08 AM

^ But laptop RAM is more expensive.

ChiangMai noon · 20-04-2007, 12:09 AM

oh.
I'm an expert only in pc.
