Presario 5838 Memory Configuration

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq (More info?)

Time to dust off older desktop.

Came with 128mb - with 2 open slots - want to increase

Some sites say Max 384mb

Can I add 256mb or 512mb sticks or would the world come
to a skidding halt?

Inquiring minds want to know....
