[Ti] RAM upgrade

>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?

Brad,

I can't speak specifically to the Vaio, but Apple's machines use the absolute slowest RAM sticks available.

Some smarter person will have to explain that, technically, but I believe it's all in the little internal toggles, and high-speed sticks for the PC won't work in a Mac, either,  so, there you go.
