I have been in the process of refurbishing a Rocky ll RT 686 Laptop. It Started as a $75.00 Laptop with no ac adapter,no harddrive,no cd rom, no floppy. Has a battery but its no good. Bought used ac adapter from amrel for 50.00. Also from Amrel I purchased new cdrom= $108.00(needed caddy and also compatible with Amrel Bios/DOS), Used floppy with caddy and external harness(can be used internally or externally)=$25.00, Harddrive caddy=$50.00. Used a 20gig hardrive out of my wifes IBM T23 for the hardrive after upgrading hers to 80 gig. Loaded Windows 98 1st edition at first. Hardrive is formatted for FAT 32. Then upgraded to Windows 2000 Professional Sp1. Specs are: intel pentium lll 500 mhz, 128mb of ram, 20 gig hardrive,and by the way, hardrive shows windows 2000 pro as FAT 32 file and rest of hardrive is Fat 32. I thought you could only install windows 2000 as NTFS but when I installed it I requested it to install on exsisting file system. It works just fine. I have enabled the touchscreen using the drivers from amrel. I connect to the internet through my one USB port. Every thing works peachy keen and I'm happy with it so far as it packs in my motorcycle saddle bags and is virtually indestructable. Now for my question! Anybody in this forum using one of these that can give me pointers on what type of ram cards are used? I run Everest Home software and it didn't tell me much. I contacted Tech support at Amrel and the one Asian lady that is there doesn't understand English, or doesn't know her job very well as I seem to know more about the laptop than she does. Short of pulling the RAM cover off and physically inspecting cards I am trying to find an answer to this. I know these laptops are rare and propriortary because of google results. But they'll also stop a bullet.

Did you look in Everest under Motherboard > SPD ?

You could also try the Crucial scanner:

Looked at Motherboard,Computer summary, It all just says SDRAM, it doesn't give pin count or whether its pc133 or pc 66. The number of pins is what I'm looking for and thanks for the responce jephree. I accessed the crucial site with the laptop a while ago and had them do their system scan and they were befuddled after the scan becauser its an amrel. I hate to buy the ram from amrel after you saw what I paid to get the rest of it working.

Is there nothing listed under Everest for SPD ?

When you go to the listing in Everest and open SPD on the right column all I get is the debugging report to send to Everest and since its the free edition I don't think its supported. No info on cards at all like there is on my desktop so I know what you mean jephree. Twighlightzone situation.LOL

Try CPU_Z under SPD.

YO, also when I posted this thread I was logged on but I received a message to log in when I posted and I think thats why it was posted twice. Since you folks manage this new format I thought you would like to know.

Thanks and sorry

There have been log in issues since the new design.

Working on it.

Don't have CPU Z ,only CPU and CPUID above SPD. Underneath SPD is Chipset and BIOS.

Sorry for the confusion.

CPU_Z is a different program. It was linked in my other post but here it is also:
