HP Desktop memory
I have a HP Elite 7100 desktop with 2 x 1Gb RAM in it running XP.
I'm about to upgrade it to windows 7 64 bit and bought another two 1Gb memory sticks.
I installed them and when i boot up the desktop it loads to the windows desktop and i can use it for 10 -20sec but them it just clicks off and automatically reloads.
I thought the new memory and the original weren't compatible so
I tried putting the new 2 x 1Gb in on it's own and exactly the same thing happens.
when i just have the original 2Gb in it works fine.
I've noticed the memory has a different part no...
The original is:- 1GB 1RX8 PC3-10600U-9-A0
The new is:- 1GB 1RX8 PC3-10600U-9-AP
Knowing nothing about memory is the AP so different to the A0 that it wouldn't be compatable with the HP Elite 7100 or is the memory defective.

I think i will play safe now and order from HP. I've 4 memory slots with 2 x 1Gb modules in at the moment.
Is there any performance benefit with sticking with 1Gb modules and order 2 x 1Gb more filling all my slots.
If not i'll order a 2Gb module instead leaving 1 slot free for expansion when i can afford it.
