Adding ram through expresscard slot?

Is there any way to add more ram, possibly even GHz through a expresscard slot on the mbp/
i have no clue so be nice... lol

No such hardware exists now and the architecture of the motherboard precludes RAM from being installed anywhere except the built in DIMM slots. What COULD be possible in the FUTURE is to allow RAM chips to be installed on a PCI-e buss (which is in effect what an ExpressCARD slot is) so that they can mount as a type of solid state hard drive. Products like this do exist for the PCI buss. It is only a matter of time and existence of enough demand to see this develop. People that are utilizing this solution are either mounting operating system images on RAM (with battery backup) for ultra-fast boot times and OS operations or need large fast scratch volumes (photoshop, audio programs, etc...)

  • Pavilion dv6-3130tx Blue Screen (BSOD) on adding RAM to second slot

    Hi there,
    I own a HP Pavilion dv6-3130tx with total of 3gb of RAM, one 1GB chip and one 2 GB chip. Recently I have been getting a lot of system crashes/freezes and occasional Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with a variety of error messages. On contacting HP care in India they said to check the RAM chips and the slot for any problem. I have identified that the second slot is one creating the problem as the system crashes if use any one of the chips on that slot while both the RAMs work fine on the other slot.
    Additionaly the RAM port/slot cannot be replaced as such, and since it is out of warranty getting the motherboard replaced isn't an alternative either. 
    So does anyone have any idea what might be the best way out of this problem?

    Did the 3GB of RAM come with the computer or did you upgrade it at some point? 
    What version of Windows are you using?

  • Adding RAM - which slot has original 64?

    When I bought my flower power imac 500 mhz I added ram. It was originally supposed to come with two 64 mg slots but I had 128 installed bringing it up to 192. Thought back then this was enough : ) . I want to add RAM but don't know which one is the 64 Mg one. Would it be the bottom or the top one. I tried to read the labels and it doesn't seem to say on it. One does have a blue stickey dot on it. I was thinking this is the larger one. It is on the top when you are looking inside the slot in the back. Anyone know if there is anyway to tell. Don't want to take the wrong one out.

    Hello Kathy,
    Go into System Profiler. Click on Memory. It will
    show the two slots. On my 400MHz the two slots
    are J13 and J14. J13 is the TOP slot. Hope this helps.

  • Adding RAM to 1.6 GHz G5

    I just finished a rather strange process of adding RAM to my G5 which I thought I would share, in case it helps others:
    First of all, I have a 1.6 GHz CPU machine, which has 4 DIMM slots. According to the Setup Guide, since there are only 4 slots (not 8), you need to use 333 MHz, PC2700 DIMMs (not 400 MHz, PC3200 DIMMs).
    When I first got my G5, it came with 256 MB of RAM (2 x 128 MB 333 MHz, PC2700). About a year ago, I added 512 MB (2 x 256 MB 333 MHz, PC2700), bringing the total up to 768 MB. This addition went smoothly, without any problems.
    Recently, I decided to replace the original 256 MB of RAM, with two more 256 MB modules, bringing the total up to 1.5 GB, so I ordered "1 GB DDR400 PC3200 2x512 DIMMS" (Part # M9653G/A) directly from Apple. Note that the RAM Apple currently sells is 400 MHz, PC3200, not 333 MHz, PC2700. In fact, before placing the order online, I called Apple to ask about this, and the person I talked to assured me that this would not be a problem, and that my 1.6 GHz would work with the 400 MHz, PC3200, despite what the manual says, so I ordered them.
    Upon receipt, I removed the original pieces, installed the new ones, and my G5 would not acknowledge their presence. It said I only had 512 MB. I called Apple to report the problem, and they suspected it was simply faulty RAM, so they sent replacements. When I got them, I installed them, and got the same results. I called Apple to tell them it still wasn't working, and they had no idea why. Once again, I pointed out that they were sending me 400 MHz, PC3200, not 333 MHz, PC2700, and they still insisted that this was not the problem, but I started to suspect even more that it was, especially after trying to upgrade twice.
    In order to test this theory, I ordered RAM from MacMall. This time I ordered 1 GB, in the form of 2 x 512 MB, 333 MHz, PC2700 (made by Kingston, Manufacturer Part No. KTA-G5333/1G). When I received these, I moved the original replacement RAM up into the top two slots, where the original ones were, and placed the two new ones in the bottom two slots. When I tried to turn the computer back on, it wouldn't. The light on the front would flash once, then pause, then flash once again, then pause, etc. When I checked the manual's troubleshooting section, it described what two, three, four, and 5 or 6 flashes meant, but not one. URGH!
    At this point, I had no idea what was wrong, so I took my G5 to my local Apple store to ask them. The guy there had the idea of putting one of the original replacement RAM in one of the two top slots, and one of the new replacement RAM in the other top slot. Then he put one of the original ones in one of the two bottom slots, and one of the new ones in the other bottom slot. Believe it or not, not only did the computer turn back on, but it also recognized the new total of 1.5 GB of RAM!!!
    This was such a strange process that I thought I would share it, in case someone is also currently going through this process, or wants to in the future.
    Hope this helps, and I also hope I've made it clear exactly what happened. If anything isn't clear, please let me know, and I'll try again.

    PC3200 is fine for that system. The problem was that you were installing the RAM in the wrong slots.
    The RAM must be installed in matched pairs, one in the top, one in the bottom, working out from the middlemost pair.
    Viewed from the side
    ======== Slot J14
    ======== Slot J12
    ======== Slot J11
    ======== Slot J13
    So, one pair of identical parts goes in J11/J12, and another pair goes in J13/J14. Doesn't matter if the bigger pair is first or second.
    This wasn't in the manual for your Mac?

  • Some thoughts on adding ram to G4 sawtooth

    I've gone down the list and read all I can about adding ram to my G4. It now has 2-64mb pc-100's, 1-256mb pc-100,and 1-128mb pc133-333. I would like to max it out since it's been freezing up during graphic work when I have more than one Adobe application running. Am I correct in thinking that's the problem or could there be something else going on? I have already expanded with a 1ghz processor, and 120gig hard drive. I'm running Panther. Any suggestions? Also I read somewhere that it matters what slot you put each ram chip in. Is there some order to this?

    Claire, In the Finder under the Apple/About this Mac/More Info/Memory you will see the Memory Slot order of each stick follow by their size. Take a look here she is replacing memory in the first slot, also the size should be printed on the side each stick.

  • Does adding RAM help solve iMovie4 jerky playback

    I have been reading threads about jerky playback in iMovie4 in large projects, after adding music from iTunes etc. My wife has a monster project and playback during editing has became very eratic. I have emptied cache, repaired the hard drive, repaired permissions etc. I have not tossed iMovie preferences. I have 23 gigs of space on the HD and a 250gig external FW HD that I bought after she started the project on the internal HD. I would like to know from you experts: 1. Would it help to move the project to the larger external HD? 2. Would adding RAM help (currently iMac G5 1.8mhz with 768 megs RAM)? 3. Is there any way to tell if the project will export to iDVD smoothly if it continues to look terrible in iMovie playback? I hate to go through a few hours of rendering for nothing. Thanks so much for your help. I always find good and useful info in discussions.

    Michael, there are some very useful applications that I highly recommend to keep your Mac running smoothly. As a defragmenter I use Allsoft's Disk Warrior that also has a very good directory repair feature. Check out also Drive Genius that has a host of useful features. Also get iMovie file fixers, invaluable tool that is free that will allow iMovie to import certain files in audio and photo formats that are greyed out and also has other features. I believe I got mine from Mr. Lennart Thelander in previous posts here. Cache Out is an excellent application to clear out cache files. I also advise you do a regular permission repair from Disk Utility in your Utilities folder that is on your Mac. These are basically my must have applications. As for copying your iMovie project to your external, just drag your entire project folder ( the blue one with the media and star folder(s) in it directly in the external hard drive. I find that iMovie is one application that requires a clean (defragmented) drive with ample space to spare. I defrag my drives if I trash files often from them, or if I notice erratic and jerky performance or slowness in response. I hope that some of my suggestions will help your in your editing.

  • Expand RAM using ExpressCard?

    I LOVE my mac book pro. I am sorry to see others are having problems.
    I have 2 GB Ram in the machine. I just got an ExpressCard/34 memory card reader from Atech. I can buy a 4 GB Memory Stick from Sony that will fit the ExpressCard/34 memory card reader.
    Some tech Guru out there, tell me how to do this: How do I tell the OS to use the ExpressCard slot for virtual memory instead of the hard disk? Seems to me that will provide a lot of extra processing speed when working with RAW photos and other RAM intensive tasks.
    Can?

    "no. he is not mistaking and the proof of that are the new hybrind hard drives that are coming out with built in flesh memory instead of regular drive cache.
    flash device can consistently read at 100 Mbs and write at around 18 Mbs. A good hard disk's read performance will vary around 29 - 53 Mbs depending on where the data is on the platter."
    If your information is correct, then I was indeed correct in saying that the write speed of flash memory is slower than than the average hard drive. 18 Mbs < 29 Mbs, right?
    Also, you wrote Mbs when I think you must have meant MBs. The convention is: b=bits and B=Bytes. Last time I checked, a 7200 RPM laptop hard drive has a write transfer rate of about 40 MB/s. In contrast, the Sony memory stick, which was the subject of the original message, has a write speed of about 1 MB/s.
    So, I'm sticking to my contention that the write transfer rate of flash memory is substantially less than that of the modern laptop hard drive. Do you have a link to a flash memory device that has a write speed on the order of 40 MB/s? I'd be happy to eat crow if you could show me such a device.

  • Early 2008 Macbook Pro - Bad RAM or Bad Slot(s)?

    Firstly, allow me to apologize for any formatting errors on this post; I'm putting it together from my phone. I comprised a collection of photos and screen shots to aid in my plea, but I can't find a way to upload them from here. So I'll do my best to explain things colorfully. :)
    Specs:
    Early 2008 15" Macbook Pro
    Model #: A1260
    OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.Something.
    Recently upgraded hard drive from stock 250GB to Seagate Momentus 500 GB.
    Strange, multicolored split-second glitches have occurred three times the past two days.
    This morning, my computer booted to the gray screen, as normal. Apple logo and spinning logo appeared.
    Here's the issue: there is a vertical gray strip going straight through the middle of the monitor that cuts through part of the apple and half of the spinning wheel.
    System stays on that screen for a few seconds, then reboots. Every time. Resetting PRAM/NVAM does nothing.
    The RAM is stock. I've done the following:
    RAM stick A in bottom slot - 3 beeps and no start-up.
    RAM stick A in top slot - gray screen, apple &amp; rotating logos, vertical gray line, restarts.
    RAM stick B in bottom slot - 3 beeps and no start-up.
    RAM stick B in top slot -  gray screen, apple &amp; rotating logos, vertical gray line, restarts.
    Bad RAM or bad slots?
    Thank you!
    JS

    IT LIVES!!!!!!
    I reset the PRAM & SMC a few times. It froze on this screen when the progress bar got about halfway.
    Then this... I left it on this screen for a while, then restarted. AND IT BOOTED LIKE NORMAL!

  • In need of a Laptop with ExpressCard Slot

    Hi,
    I was trying to use the search for finding a laptop with ExpressCard® Slot, but had no luck with that.
    If anyone can recommend me a couple of models that carry this port, I'll be grateful.
    Due to the hardware I need to use this is a must. No substitution yet for this port.
    Thanks in advanced for your input.
    Best regards.
    Ivan.

    There appear to be some Tecra and Portege models.

  • Msi GX740 expresscard slot

    Hello.
    I just bought an GX740 with core i7 and radeon 5870 but I am having some troubles. Os is windows seven 64 bit premium home.
    I use an expresscard for making music (echo indigo IOX expresscard) but it doesnt work fine with the MSI GX740.
    The problem is the following :
    (Drivers are well installed, many versions have been tried with the same problem)
    - If the card is inserted before booting, the system recognize it well, and I can use it. BUT, after a few second of use, the system will totally hang up and stop responding. The sound playing will be looped. I tried to let it for more than 20 min but nothing unstucked..
    - If the card is inserted when the laptop is already online, it doesnt detect the card but a pci to pci bridge or something and the drivers can't be loaded properly, so I cant use the card at all. Expresscard is supposed to be hotpluggable....
    When the system crashes, there seems to be a problem with winio.sys (seen in the event viewer), but thats the only thing I know, because there is no bluescreen so I have no dumps I can check....
    The card works fine on other systems with the exact same OS and drivers so I suspect it's something to do with the way the laptop configures the card (irq, adress etc).
    Also, I have the latest BIOS and all the drivers are well up to date.
    Does anyone has already tried the GX740 expresscard slot, and if yes, does it work?
    Cheers!

    OMG!!
    looks like msi learned nothing in the past!
    please read it all here: same issue with pr200
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119513.80
    exact the same problematic.
    after 8month of writing email with msi-techsupport & dev team they released a special bios "workaround" version and it worked. (also with this special bios version the expresscard has to be inserted before boot. if removed and inserted again it also does not work with this special bios)
    it has to do with bios parameters which are not correctly set for the expresscard slots. it`s definitly a msi failure  and has absolutly nothing to do with the certification of the expresscard.
    all expresscards with TI chipset are good for audio use. i`ve also tested with certified cards.
    so in short: the result was > msi was only able fix it (partly) with a special biosversion. (problem is sitting in the pci-register values for the expresscardslot
    i have all emails saved and can send them out on reqest if somebody needs them for further analysis as i was working on this problem with special pci-register software to show up msi thats their problem. so we were able to fix it for the pr200.

  • Do you need an adapter to plug firewire into an expresscard slot?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if you need an adapter to plug a firewire cable into an expresscard slot? also does it accept both firewire 400 and 800? what else does the expresscard slot do?

    The expresscard slot does nothing by itself. It is the modern equivalent of the pcmcia or PC card slot. It is an interface that allows you to plug in an adapter card that does whatever function the designer of the card built into it. If you need to connect a peripheral that the MBP doesn't have an interface for, you look for an expresscard that implements the missing interface.

    will tell you all about the slot.

  • What version of ExpressCard slot (or other ports) comes in a dv8t laptop?

    I have a 1 month old dv8t-1200.  My current question: is the ExpressCard slot that comes in the dv8 model line a version 1 or 2 of the ExpressCard standard?  I'm hoping to buy an ExpressCard pretty soon to provide a couple USB 3 ports, but if the slot is only version 1 (2.5 Gbps) then it won't be able to provide USB 3 speeds even if the card could do it.  Does anyone know (a) what version the dv8's slot is, and (b) is there anywhere on the HP site that provides this info?  I called tech support tonight and, although she tried to be helpful, the tech was clearly not supported by HP technical materials.  She was googling to figure out the answer.  And I was not at all convinced she knew what she was claiming (she never answered my repeated question of 'what site did you find that on?', so I finally said "thanks, good night" and figured I'd try to find the answer somewhere else.  Given that the laptop has only USB 2 and FW 400 (both significant disappointments), I'm guessing the answer to my question is ExpressCard version 1.  But I'm hoping someone knows better.  Else maybe I'll buy a card and try it out, to see what speeds I get.
    Both before purchase and after, it's been difficult to find a straightforward listing of information on the HP site about what the specs are for things like this.  Does anyone know of a reliable source for the details that HP leaves out of the published specs for each model line?  Or am I missing some source of good information that they provide?
    Thanks much!

    Too bad no one else figured this out first.  I bought a 1 TB Western Digital Passport Essentials SE (USB 3.0) today along with an IOGear USB 3.0 ExpressCard.  When the Passport's plug is firmly seated in the EC and the EC is powered, the maximum sustained transfer rate I got was 38 MB/s (on big files, around 1GB) although 25 MB/s was more common.  On the eSATA/USB 2.0 port, the same drive and files got 15-17 MB/s.  
    There are bound to be a number of speed losses along the way, but I didn't expect to see only 25% of the USB 2.0 max speed (60 MB/s).  But I hadn't done this speed test with one of my USB 2 drives before.
    I think my earlier concern about the ExpressCard version was misplaced.  Since version 1's max speed is 2.5Gb/s or 312.5 MB/s that doesn't seem like the limiting factor here.  
    I figure I'll be looking to replace my dv8t with something else, maybe from a manufacturer that more willingly tells me what it puts into the machine that I'm paying good money for, and what performance I can reasonably expect from it.  Of course, since I didn't try to find that out beforehand, shame on me, but I'd appreciate being offered such information rather than feeling afterward that I've been taken advantage of.  Especially since it's so hard to get such info from HP.
    The IOGear USB 3.0 ExpressCard and Passport seem fine on first use.  However, since I presume the EC should be inserted before the drive is plugged into it, there's a bit of a challenge to push the USB 3.0 plug into the EC fully without causing the EC's spring to pop out the EC.  An alternative would be to plug the USB plug into the Passport as the last step.  That feels ok, but I'd rather have left that end of the cable engaged as long as I had the disk sitting on my desk.  It would also be nice if the EC gave some visual indication whether it's powered, just as confirmation.
