Hello ! I have one question regarding Acer Aspire 1400. I have installed wifi lan card in it ( Pro/Intel 2200bg). In the device manager I can see the wifi card and also on the task bar. But it is unable to connect with Access point. I checked it with Intel utility … it is always saying that sender is not switched on….. some hardware switch is off. Do you have some adea about that ???? Thanks in advance waiting for your reply.

Carl,
You can use two different size RAM modules. In your case, if you replace the existing 512MB module with a new 1GB module, you’ll get 1.5GB total.
But if you want to take advantage of dual channel technology (better performance), you should use two identical RAM modules.
If you want to upgrade memory in your laptop, I would recommend replacing two 512MB modules with at least two 1GB modules. In this case you’ll get 2GB total and your RAM will be working in dual channel.

Can I use different size RAM modules? For example, I have two 512MB modules installed. Can I remove one 512MB module and install a 1GB module instead? Will it work?
