Ok if you look at that it says that the Maximucm memory for my gateway is 128 i think you said it was 256 and the bigest size of RAM that will fit into that would be 2x64 instead of 2x128. I guess I could manage buying the 64 MB stick for $34.99 but there is still a warning there about how the system can take more than one memory depending on my motherboard. Is that really an issue or are the chances that this specific ram stick is compatible good? It pretty much looks dead on to me. The search came back after looking for 100% Compatible Upgrades For Your Gateway P5-166 XL w/ DIMMS. They say to visit gateway support or to just give them a call to varify memory type. I don't understand what more they're going to varify because that looks like it's pretty much it? Should I call them before I purchase the RAM? I've tried gateway but I'm having trouble searching with in their database with my Gateways serial number. It apparently is too short or something. Anyway gonna go get a 12-inch subway, Italian B.M.T. with spicy mustard and mayonise. "I'm so depressed." -Chunk
BTW There is a 128mb PC100 memory stick at Best Buy for 19.99. Of course there is a 12$ rebate and a 5$ mail in rebate and all that bull. The actual price is is about 36$. I think im gonna go for that one for my Persario. Thanks.
