Okay, so I am having issues booting my laptop. I am assuming (after doing some background reading) that my ram bitten the dust. I also spent about 2 days finding out that the 2nd ram slot is conveniently located under the keyboard. I have accessed both slots (finally). However, before purchasing new stick(s), I need to know if both slots need to be occupied with a stick. And, if not, which should I but a new stick in and which should I leave empty. Currently, I have 2 X 512 MB for a total of 1 gb. I am unsure how to test which (if either to be technically correct) one or if both sticks are bad. Someone please help!

Its Not necesssary to Fill both with Memory Sticks, but just fill in both.
P.S. What is Your HP Model

I got 1 a GB of RAM for my zv6000 and I honestly have only noticed a little difference (with video playback). I'm a little peeved because I could've saved $80. Oh well. I was told that the 512 I had was attached to the motherboard and there was only one slot in which to attach the 1 GB that I received from HP. Honestly, I'm more peeved with my laptop just shutting down when the power cord is attached, but just fine when the power is disconnected. I hear that this is a problem with many HP's and expensive to fix. Good luck to you.
