1) No.

2) Sounds like either mobo cant handle it? Or bios is problem. Have you switched sticks I mean the 32's when running just ONE to see if one is bad? If so have you googled to see how much mem that lappy supports?

3) They do make 16mb sticks but no 24's Im affraid. You got 72's in 2mb 4mb 8mb 16mb 32mb (64mb ever made in 72???).

From the FAQ
http://support.fujitsupc.com/CS/Port...do?srch=FAQ#48

How many memory modules can I install in the Point 510?
Two DIMMs (Dual In-Line Memory Modules) can be installed in the Point 510. Only the first 56 megabytes will be recognized by the system, however.

And, there is a BIOS upgrade.

However, there isnt much about the specs or a manual. It looks as if it's a tight squeeze in there to do much more. If you havent upgraded the BIOS you may want to give that a try. But, be warned, changes to the BIOS can go catastrophically wrong if not done properly.

You may have to just go with what you have.

You'll notice from the FAQ I quoted that it typically wont recognize past the 56 mark... yours counts to 64 and then dies so... You may have a tough task in front of you.

Do you have a back up?


Check out their site http://support.fujitsupc.com/CS/Port...do?msrch=model and look up your machine with it's serial or configuration #'s to try and get more specific solutions.

Sorry jon but it seems that your stuck with 56 mb. It shouldnt make a difference any way. Most likely some compatibility issues with the sticks of ram (the 8mb one and the 32 mb ones). Might be because you pc doesnt support memory above 64 mb.

Like Xtreeeme said try both the 32mb sticks to see if they work.

Finally you prolly wont notice much difference between 56 and 64.
