HP Pavilion 7275Z memory upgrade

[Amir]

I have 64 MB memory in my HP Pavilion 7275Z. I'd like to upgrade to 128 MB.
How can I do it?

The original configuration had 32 MB, so I'm not sure how many sockets are
free.

What kind of memory I need? In the specs it says -
Standard: 32 MB (EDO)
Maximum: 128 MB
Speed: 70 ns
Sockets: 4 - 72 pin (2 free)
Size: 4, 8, 16 or 32 MB SIMMS <------------------
Pairs required: Yes
Type Supported: Fast Page or EDO (matched pairs)

Can I use 64 MB or 128 MP SIMMs, even thoug it it's not listed in the specs?

What price tag I can expect for this upgrade?

Amir,

The Pavilion 7275Z is an older system with a Pentium CPU and (I think) an Intel
Triton-series chipset. The chipset limits the amount of memory to 128MB. The
only combination of SIMMs which yields 128MB is 4x32MB 72-pin EDO or fast page
mode, 60ns or faster. Neither 64MB (scarce) nor 128MB (more scarce) will work
in this system. For best results, you should install a matched set, i.e. 4
identical SIMMs in the four memory banks. To do so, you will probably have to
remove the existing memory, unless it consists of only two SIMMs, very unlikely.
If so, there are 2x32MB, add another pair of 32MB.

I've sold sets of four of these SIMMs for $25 + exact postage, probably not more
than $2 for First Class Mail. I have a few sets left, pulled from some
Pentium-class industrial computers which were built, but never installed.
Contact me directly via email if you would like to buy some... Ben
