[Ti] RAM upgrade

[Bradley Ellis]

Hello all,

This may be off topic, but . . .

I have upgraded my Ti 667 to 1 gig of RAM.  I now have a couple 256  
mb RAM chips taking up space.  This RAM will fit in my wife's AMD  
Vaio laptop, but I get a "BIOS" error when I install said RAM.  Do I  
need to change something in this RAM to get it to work with this  
Vaio?  Is there software "burned" into RAM?

Thanks in advance for any help anyone may be able to offer.

Sincerely,
Brad Ellis
