Request for BIOS that supports 1600MHz RAM

Hello, I confirm, that with old bios version my L520 supports 1600MHz frequency of RAM.
Why is the frequency downdraded in new bioses?
Can we, users of ThinkPads, request new bios version that has all the fixes and still supports 1600MHz ? Becouse since bios downgrade sometimes when my notebook goes to standby it ends up with blue screen.
Solved!

I think there is a misunderstanding here. With intel core cpus, the memory controller is within the cpu itself and not in the chipset. So it's really a question of having a cpu that supports 1600Mhz ram rather than a bios which can support the memory. Since there are no L520s officially carrying i7 cpus (the only ones supporting 1600Mhz ram, and only some of them), installing 1600 Mhz ram is tottaly useless. Older bioses may report 1600Mhz for the ram but do not really take advantage of the higher frequency, since it is the cpu that can or cannot control it. Sandy Bridge i3 and i5 cpus can only use 1333Mhz memory so the laptop will in all cases downclock automatically the ram to 1333Mhz,    using maybe lower latencies as well (which could be the only small advantage of using higher frequency ram).
You can try to upgrade your L520 with an i7, but it will void the warranty. Also the 4core i7s which can use faster memory need more current to run and warm up more, so you will have to be very careful (use a 90W power supply, check for temps often). The cpu itself is not cheap either at around $250 used, so if you really need something faster, maybe you should go for another laptop alltogether.
I hope this helps and clarifies the situation.

  • Sound Card for Notebook that supports

    Hi?I have read that certain sound cards (including Audigy 2) that support 5. and also 7. surround sound don't actually support 2. users such as myself. I need a sound card for a newly purchased notebook and would welcome advice in this area ie: what's the best soundcard to get (external or pcmia) that will support good old fashioned 2. stereo?Many thanks in advance?Sparky2

    If the PCMCIA type in your laptop is type of ExpresCard then there are no PCMCIA solutions available yet. Also there are not many PCMCIA solutions available at all. If plain analog stereo output is enough for you then I suggest you to look these:
    - E-MU 02, ECHO Indigo DJ and IO. These are all under $US200.
    As USB, from Creative, the E-MU 0202 USB and 0404 USB are superior devices compared to other Creatives (SoundBlaster) USB models . There also are plenty of USB devices available under many brands. Just check this theread to see some of those.
    FireWire devices are a bit more expensi've but if you plan to invest lets say $US300 - $US500 then ... Those low budged ($US00) FireWire devices are not very high quality by the converrters.

  • Request for bios update to enable the switchable graphics fixed mode.

    I formaly request a new BIOS update that will enable fixed switching for the HP g6 2204tx .Folowing the recent BIOS update available in the Support Section of HPs websites, version F.26, there is still no option  to enable fixed switching in the BIOS.

    I can't use my laptop to it's full potential besause of this. My Disply driver is even older than my Laptop.Why do you do this to your customers. I'm never going to buy a HP laptop agin I feel that I have been cheated by HP. A very bad suport and not up to date drivers for the system 

  • Enhancement Request for RFC 4021 Support in Mail

    I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this forum, or complies with the click-through agreement which neither I nor the vast majority of anyone here probably read, but here it goes.
    Mail does not appear to support RFC 4021. In particular, there are several header fields that are used by various applications that Mail cannot create in messages, and provides no means for adding in. Of interest to me is the Sensitivity header, which flags the message as having a particular sensitivity. This is used by at least one product (Cisco IronPort) through which mail flows in corporate networks with the device. If it sees this header it will automatically save the message off and send a new email with a URL that the original recipients can use to retrieve the secured message. Now, all of this is done outside of Mail and is a feature of the IronPort product. All that Mail, or any email application needs to do, is to include the appropriate header field.
    I created a support case, but there is no such feature for setting the sensitivity of an email. If it is appropriate for me to do so, I would encourage you to head over to http://www.apple.com/feedback and send feedback asking for support of RFC 4021, either through an explicit GUI interface to set the sensitivity of email or through the ability to include arbitrary headers and values so that future header fields can be added without Apple having to update the application constantly. If it's not appropriate for me to do so, then I would not encourage you to head over to http://www.apple.com/feedback and provide such feedback
    I'd also be interested if anyone knows how Mail processes email, and in particular sending email. My particular example unfortunately includes an exchange server (2007), so I'm guessing that it is not processed by postfix or any other application, and is sent directly from Mail to Exchange. If it were, I supposed it may be possible to include an entry in /etc/postfix/header_checks to look for a header that CAN be included via Mail, such as a BCC to a specific fictitious address, and REPLACE it with the appropriate header field. If anyone is aware of how Mail actually processes email outbound to an Exchange server I'd be interested in those details.
    Thanks,
    Fred Reimer

    I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this forum,
    Mail does not appear to support RFC 4021

  • Request for BIOS: GE60 2PE Apache Pro

    Hello Svet.
    From what I have read, you can unlock the BIOS features from MSI laptops.
    I have a MSI GE 2PE Apache Pro with BIOS E16GFIMS.518 retrieved from www . msi . com/product/nb/GE60_2PE_Apache_Pro.html
    My installed OS is Windows 8.1 x64 English
    I understand that this is a performance laptop, but I am hopping that from unlocking the BIOS, I can change something in order to make it quieter, namely stop the fan when the PC is in idle and some other settings in order to increase the autonomy. Is that possible?
    Also, please feel free to PM me with the usual amount for the donation.
    Thank you and keep the good work.

    well done

  • Request for VBIOS Legacy support GTX 780

    As mentioned in my previous thread, I have been experiencing some trouble with my GTX780:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=170860.msg1247473#msg1247473
    I am seeking VBIOS Legacy support for my GTX780's
    Serial Numbers are as follows:
    912-V801-1254B1305000611
    912-V801-1254B1305000612

    Do you have a PC in which the vga works or how do you want to flash it? Also we need a copy of your current vbios...
    If you have an old computer without UEFI but just legacy bios you should get it to post if power supply is sufficient.

  • Any GPUs for Windows that support both CUDA and Open CL?

    Hi everyone,
    I was looking at this list:  http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
    while trying to decide which graphics card to buy to take advantage of Mercury playback.  I couldn't help but notice that there is not a single card listed that is compatible for both CUDA and Open CL in windows.  Do I really have to pick one or the other?  In that case, which would be more beneficial to a Premiere Pro workflow that utilizes a lot of dynamic links to After Effects?  As a side note, I use Photoshop a ton, and would love to keep my GPU acceleration in that arena as well.
    Thanks!
    -Charlie

    I believe they write OpenCL separately.  They're two different APIs.
    They are not that different, while 'porting' doesn't imply completely automatic process. Rewriting existing libraries from one language to another is something almost any developer is familiar with.
    I'm not sure I understand the point you're trying to make here.  Right now, you cannot use OpenCL processing with an nVidia card on Windows.
    The point is simple: both CUDA and OpenCL are supported by NVIDIA cards. The fact that Adobe engineers haven't ported libraries for GPU acceleration in MPE on Windows from CUDA to OpenCL so far doesn't mean they never will. Hence the statement that a user-side choice between AMD and NVIDIA equals to choice between OpenCL and CUDA is incorrect.

  • Leechblock-like product for Safari that supports scheduling?

    Is there a Leechblock-like product for Safari out there that will support advance scheduling? (Freedom doesn't.) Alternatively, would it mess anything up if I uninstalled Safari entirely? I only use it to circumvent Leechblock anyway.

    Apparently there is one solution. You can install the extension "WastNoTime". It is as good as Leechblock.
    For that you have to go to Safari preferences and turn on extensions. You can then download and install the extension from this link: http://bumblebeesystems.dyndns.org/wastenotime/ or you can browse https://extensions.apple.com/ and find it under productivity category.
    I am happy that this extension is finally out. I was almost moving to Firefox.
    Good luck

  • GT60 Request for BIOS UNLOCK

    Hi,
    Looking to get my BIOS unlocked. Unable to do anything I want or don't want for the matter.
    Let me know what's needed.
    BIOS Type AMI EFI
    BIOS Version E16F3lMS.305
    Thanks

    well typically voltages are N/A even with unlock BIOS,
    about OCing is also questionable, but think BCLK should be possible and ram adjustment, timings , freq.
    and many more options..
    however you should be becarefull what settings you gonna modify, as setting a wrong option may cause NB to fails to boot.
    if you want me to unlock your BIOS, i can start work on it once donation is received:

    and to send it back to you when its done 3-4 hours later

  • Request for last.fm support

    There is a lot of people using Last.FM (http://last.fm) Service, which allows us to submit currently playing tracks to a website to create our personal music profiles.
