MW520 RAM upgrade

Post by dpdit »

I hope someone can help me here. I work for a department that has mw520"s ( 5205 an 5203)
we are upgrading to a new CAD system and I am trying to increase the RAM on our MW's to 256MB. None of the machines recognize it. According to M, Most of the machines have the latest BIOS. Any help would be appreciated. ( of course we don't have $80,000 to get 800's)

After much discussion with M, it turns out the RAM is Proprietary. After getting some from them, it worked fine. If anyone else has had this problem, they have plenty of 256 in stock and I got it in 3 days.
Yes I know I answered my own question!!!! 8)

Its not proprietary. I remember when I had mine I went to Best Buy and bought ram for it and it worked fine. I just don't know the specs on it anymore.

Its PC100. The 5203's will (should) go to 128, the 5205's will go to 256.
