G62-361TX Upgrading RAM

HI, I have HP G62-361 TX laptop. I want to upgrade my RAM as i use it for 3D softwares and multi tasking.
On Crucial.com it shows its 8 GB upgradeable. I am thinking to buy 8GB (1 X 8GB)RAM and then will add 2 GB of my old Ram.
I searched lot on google and some says may be it will support and use 10 GB RAM and some says may be it will not work.
So CAn anyone help me for suggestting that i will buy (1 X 8GB) or (2 X 4GB) RAM.
Because on my model if (1 X 8GB) single Ram can work fine then i will have no lose to buy single slot RAM.

From the factory your HP G62-361TX Notebook Computer come with 3 GB DDR3 (1 x 1024 MB + 1 x 2048 MB). According to the Compaq Presario CQ62 Notebook PC and HP G62 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide this model supports;
2 customer-accessible/upgradable SODIMM slots
Dual-channel memory DDR3, 1066 MHz
Up to 8 GB of system memory (8192MB = 4096 x 2)

Is it possible to upgrade G62-361TX Notebook Processor and RAM?

Hi Everyone,
I have a question regarding UPGRADE!
I am having G62-361TX model notebook, Processor of Core i3-370M, 3GB RAM (1 X 1GB & 2 X 2GB), 1GB ATI Mobility Rageon Premium Graphics Card, Windows 7 x64.
1. Is is possible to upgrade from Core i3-370M to core i5-470?
2. Is is possible to add 4BG of RAM on one slot and existing 2GB on the other slot?
If yes, then will it be giving any problem like over heating, etc., Have the G62-361TX is been desinged to withstand heavier computing if upgraded?
Thanks in advance!

Maintenance and service guide for G62 laptops:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02542102.pdf
Q2: I think so. The service guide says that it's possible for model 1.1 only. Product specs for G62-361tx say that the hard drive is a 320GB 5400rpm and this hard drive is available for model 1.1 only. I think that you may use a 4GB module anyway, the laptop might be upgraded up to 8GB of RAM..
Q1: Upgrade definitely possible to:
Intel Arrandale i5–520M Processor (2.4 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)— Dual Core 35 W pn: 594187-001
Intel Arrandale i5–540M Processor (2.53 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)— Dual core 35 W pn: 594188-001
Intel Arrandale i5–450 Processor (2.4 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35 W pn: 613585-001
Intel Arrandale i5–430 Processor (2.26 GHz, 3 MB total L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35 W pn: 597624-001
Might be possible:
Intel Arrandale i5–560 Processor (2.66–3.2 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual
Core 35 W (for model 1.1 only) pn: 625824-001
Intel Arrandale i5–580 Processor (2.66–3.33 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—
Dual Core 35 W (for model 1.1 only) pn: 625825-001
Intel Core i5–460 Processor (2.53 GHz, 3 MB L3 cache, 1066 MHz)—Dual Core 35
W (for model 1.1 only) pn: 626039-001
I can't tell you which model the G62-361tx is so I would use one of the first 4 processors. They should work at 100%!!

Upgrade Ram 4GB DDR3 -1600 MHz

HI Friends
I am using HP G62-361TX Laptop , can i upgarde RAM to 4GB DDR3 with 1600 MHz
This question was solved.

@ramkutti
as Paul has said if the module is backward compatible there is no issue in putting a 1333 or even 1600 except that it's mere waste of money , that's all , with no improvement in performance. so put two 2GB DDR3 1066MHz RAM in the two slots which can act as dual channel than one 4GB direct single channel upgrade.

Problem with display hp g62-361tx

HP G62-361tx
Core i3 processor
Ati mobility radeon hd5470
3gb ram
Ok guys I have a serious problem. The display of my laptop goes haywire and shows pink and white chess board type squares and goes off. It happened before too, when the display used to suddenly show thick lines and the display used to become very pixellated, and then the display and laptop turned off. It happend 2-3 times and then after that whenever I switched my laptop on, no display was shown ( though connecting it with a vga cable to a monitor showed huge pixels and with very different colors) . I took it to a Hp service center and they said that I will have to change the motherboard because of some problem with the graphics card. And plus they said a spare motherboard was rarely if ever available for this model so I will just have to dump my laptop. Still I somehow got it repaired from a mechanic, but the problem has started again.
I've updated the ati graphics driver. Not updated the BIOS or any other software. I used to play a lot of games but have since stopped.

I have the exact same problem on the exact same model. Got the problem after ~2.5 years of purchase of the laptop. The service center guys couldn't find a new motherboard here in India, so they imported a similar on of Compaq brand with a different graphic chip on it (ATI Radeon HD6300M) after a month or so. But I'm facing the issues again after 6 months and I'm out of my extended warranty now.
What did you do to fix the problem?

Upgrading RAM and SSD on MacBook Pro 15" mid 2009

Hey,
I want to upgrade RAM and SSD on my macbook pro, identifier 5,3, and I want to make sure the parts I picked will be compatible with my Macbook.
I'm specifically not sure about its support of 512GB.
I thought about RAM:

SSD:

Thanks!

" I have also created a back up on Time Machine (I think I did)."
Check this out:
http://macintoshhowto.com/repair/back-up-computer.html
Once you think you've done it correctly restart and hold down the option key or go to "System Preferences" under the Apple and look at "Startup Disk".
That will tell which Disks are bootable.
Now about that Crucial drive:
http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Crucial-SSDs/512GB-M4-and-2009-Macbook-Pro/td-p/7805 6
It's not clear to me that this issue was resolved. The last post goes nowhere!
I always use OWC:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
Just did two including this MacBook Pro early 2011 13" and a 2012 Mini. Total no-brainer! The way I like it.

2011 Macbook Pro - if i upgrade ram and Hard drive will it void my applecare ?

2011 13" Macbook Pro - if i upgrade ram and Hard drive will it void my 3 years of applecare ? - Does apple offer this service ?
Thanks

However it might be worth reading this article in The Register about Apple not using standard temperature sensing methodology - see

also read the links to OWC comments.

could the launch agents failing slow the computer or they just don't work. I mean I am willing to upgrade ram but not if there is good chance it won't change speed much. Also to downgrade is it necessary to format the hard drive?

Will upgrading ram improve speed in Mac and windows (VMware fusion)?

I Am using VMware fusion for music production and that program requires a lot of workspace. I have a MacBook Pro 4gb ram and when I turn VMware on it goes to 2 gb ram in Mac and 2 gb ram in windows. My Mac speed is normal when VMware fusion is turned off but when I turn it on my Mac is very slow. Will upgrading ram improve speed in mac and also in windows (windows is also very slow)
Btw my english isn't very good

Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM hungry. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.
In your case it will most likely help. You should plan on at least 8 GBs or more, depending upon what your model supports.

Upgrading RAM of MB Pro 15 (October 2008)

Enough for what?
The engine in my car puts out 200 HP. That's more than enough given the power to weight ratio of the vehicle and considering the type of driving I do with it commuting to work and the occasional road trip.

Info on upgrading RAM and Hard Disk on late-2011 Macbook Pro

Hello everyone,
I would like some info from anyone regarding upgrading RAM on my macbook pro (13inch, late 2011 model) from 4GB to 8GB. Will the notebok support 8GB and if so, is it something that you can do yourself or should it be taken to an Apple store ?
Also, my notebook currently has a 320GB hard-disk drive, that I would like to swap for a 320GB/480GB SSD. Again, which models are compatible with my notebook, and whether I can swap it out myself, or should I let an Apple technician at the store do it for me?
Thanks and regards to all ..

Yes. You can upgrade that machine to 8 GB. I have the same machine. I think you can do 16 GB but the RAM is quite a bit more money. You can do it yourself with a small enough screwdriver. I doubt the Apple Store would install 3rd party RAM and you don't want to pay Apple prices for it.
A hard drive is about the same. Once you open the case, you can replace both. I suggest OWC. They have the tools, instructions, the RAM, the hard drives, etc. They even sell external enclosure kits so you can upgrade your internal drive and use the old drive an an external for archiving data.

Is it possible to upgrade RAM in MacbookAir 4,1?

Is it possible to upgrade RAM in MacbookAir 4,1 Late 2011, 2G to 4G?

MacBook Airs are designed with a purpose that differentiates them from the rest of the Macbook line. That is to place weight and size reduction at one of the highest of priorities. In doing so, compromises have to be made. Upgradeable memory takes up addional space, in that it requires acessability and a slot interface, bot of which would add both weight and dimensional size to accomodate it. By making the memory an integral part of the logicboard, the computer can be made thinner.
So, when you buy somthing of the MBA's form factor, you have to pay special attention to buying the computer with all the options available at time of purchase that you & the computer will ever need, where those components are not upgradeable for space and weight consideration.
The MacBook Air, despite the desire, is not just a shrunken MacBook Pro. Space and weight savings is of a higher priority than is upgradeability in the MBA.
