In question:
Kingston KVR667D2S5 (667Mhz, 1GB , 1.9-2.0 volt SODIMM) IMPORTANT
I dug around, there are some 1.9volt and 2.0volt around Sold without the /1G in the back, those seem to be unstable
Kingston 1GB DDR2 PC2-4200 SDRAM SO DIMM of 200 espigas 533 MHz (KTM-TP3840/1G)
Not working, unsure why only 1 report about this stick.

Not Compatible or Unstable:
PNY (512-1GB 677 and 533) - Reported as Unstable
OCZ PC2-4200 So DIMM Module 533MHz 1024MB RAM - Reported as Unstable Causes system freezes + errors
PNY DDR2 pc2-4200/3200 1GB 533/400MHz - Users get different results
PNY 1GB DDR2 667Mhz CL5 PC2-5300S-555 (SODI101GBN/5300/2-BX) ONLY RECOGNIZES THE OEM 512 not the EXTRA STICK
Corsair VS1GSDS667D2 - Some Reported as Unstable Some seem to work fine.
KingMAX KSCD48F-B8KB5 FIF - Reported Freezing and being Unstable


I will clean it up once more Modules are reported.
Please post your Succesfully added Ram w/ model number and such here.
I will try to keep this list up to date, for faster searching.

To be sure which work and which don't.
If you encounter a module that doesn't work, please let us know the Part Number of the Module
and the Ram Modules ID which are engraved on each individual Chip of the module.

 

added a few more

 

Are people who are having RAM issues actually testing the modules to make sure they aren't faulty? 533/667 is low end RAM today and in my experience (repair shop) plenty of it is faulty straight from the manufacturers.

 

I am not sure, but i do know the PNY seem to have wierd effects on the Acer one 110.
My friend can boot with it but it runs awfull slow. Then he used my Kingston stick and his system boots up normal.
I believe it has to do with the Voltage. Some chips need little more voltage to run edaquate which the acer can't provide.
The system still runs but the ram modules operate at a lower speed or awfull slow delays.

You are right this AO unit is operating with fairly low end ram
Which some might be faulty from manufacturer, some are user error (didn't install right).
But there are always these exceptions of ram modules that have missing mappings,
or require diff voltages or just aren't working with the onboard ram.

Like my ram has 400/533/667 mapped to it.
My friends PNY only had 533 mapped on it.
I saw some rams need 2.0volts where as the majority of the working ones are 1.8volts

There are some ram modules that only have 667 mapped to it which the acer one can't downclock.
The acer one can downclock as long as its mapped on the Ram module.
Hence me asking for P/N to make a better list on whats working and whats not.

You can check what mhz ur ram can run by running CPU-Z and then go to RAM tab.

Added 2 new ones From the thread above.

 

Why not just stick to non-working RAM?
There's should be far more working than non-working ones

 

B/C no one is updating the 1st list.

 

Why mod does not make this thread sticky?

 

For updating information.

I am using an AAO 110 White (Buy from Thailand) and I'm living in VN.

I used an PNY DDR2 1GB bus 667mhz CL5 without any problem. Maybe you can update your compatible Ram list.

Best Regard.

 

Updated, if you have the Exact part number of it that would be great.
So we can Destinctivly separete 2 of the same kind modules from one manufacturer.

 

People also need to know which type of ram is tested or not. If you only display the non-working ones, people can't tell if non listed ram has been tried.


....giving this thread a free bump. Good job ipearl.

MODS! PLEASE STICKY THIS AND PRUNE THE OLD THREAD!!

 

Seems like few iMac Rams work fine on our laptops also.

 

HYNIX 1GB DDR2 PC2-5300 667Mhz 5-5-5-12 (HYMP512S64CP8-Y5)
Works fine.

 

Thank you =)

 

updated list again

 

allright guys i live in brisbane, australia and having trouble finding the RAMs listed here...This maybe a lame question but is there a difference between pc-5300 and pc2-5300??? I am unable to find any pc2-5300...and what is the speed of the RAM thats already on the motherboard? I wanted the corsair SKU 18811 but unable to find it...can only find the other one which reported as unstable...If there isn't a difference between pc and pc2 i think the easiest choice for me here would be hynix...please advise

Cheers!!!

 

1GB Corsair Value Select PC-5300 (667MHz)
200-pin SO-DIMM DDR2 RAM,
Lifetime warranty
128Mx64,
5-5-5-2T

Is this the same one as the one that works fine???

 

Yup that one works fine
KVR667D2S5/1G
Should have this S/N on it.
The ones w/o ..../1G are discontinued according to Kingston.

 

HI, I got a AAO windows xp version, w/ 120Gb HDD and comes with 1GB of ram. if i want to upgrade it to 1.5 Gb of ram, do i just install a 512 mb ram on to the expansion slot?

thx in advance!!

 

No you remove the 512 in the slot.
Buy a new 1GB and place it into the slot.
That will give you 512mb onboard + 1GB slot = 1.5gb total
And you will have an extra 512mb lying around, after this proceedure.
