[Ham-Computers] RE: memory for compaq armada 1130t

[Hsu, Aaron (NBC Universal)]

Hi Jonathan,

A quick Google shows that the Armada 1130t uses 60ns EDO RAM (not SDRAM)
in a 144-pin SODIMM package.  Prices for the 32MB module range from $12
to $30.

I've found conflicting info on the max amount of RAM the system will
recognize.  Some sources say 48MB and others say 80MB (using a 32MB or
64MB SODIMM, respectively).  Unfortunately, I can't find the original
Compaq quickspecs for the 1130t to verify.  Most likely, "newer"
revisions of the 1130t were able to handle the 64MB module (or it may
have just required a newer BIOS).  Safest best is with a 32MB module,
although Win9x will run better with the 64MB module.  One place sells
the 64MB modue for $17.

FYI, the original Compaq part number for the 32MB module is 220580-001.
If you Google on this term, you'll find plenty of vendors.

73,

Subject: [Ham-Computers] memory for compaq armada 1130t


i'm looking for a 32MB memory stick for a compaq armada 1130T laptop.
I'm not sure if it is PC-66 or PC-100  I am assuming that it is PC-66.
I got this laptop for free it only has 16MB Ram and windows 95 so i'm
not looking to spend a fortune on it. I'm using it as a radio
programming laptop.


Thanks,

Jonathan
