Is it possible to use ddr2-533 memory in Satellite M40-101 ?

now in my notebook is installed 512Mb ddr pc2700. i want to upgrade to 1Gb. is it possible to use ddr2-533 in this notebook?

i didn't write that i will use different modules. i just asked if it is possible to use ddr2-533 in this notebook.
why did you write only these three ? i found much more in the specs:
1024MB (1GB) Memory PC2700 DDR SODIMM (333MHz) PA3313U-2M1G
1GB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory PA3411U-2M1G
1GB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory PA3411S-2M1G
256 MB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory PA3389U-2M25
256 MB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory PA3389S-2M25
256MB Memory PC2700 DDR SODIMM (333MHz) PA3311U-2M25
512 MB Memory Expansion PA3312U-1M51
512 MB Memory PC2700 DDR SODIMM (333MHz) PA3312U-2M51
512 MB Memory PC2700 DDR SODIMM (333MHz) PA3312S-2M51
512 MB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory PA3412U-2M51
512 MB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory PA3412S-2M51
So as i understand i can use ddr2-533 in m40-101 ?

  • Can I Use DDR2-533 (PC2 4200) ?

    2x Kingston HyperX 2GB KHX4200S2LL/2G DDR2-5300 (PC2 4200)

    Kappy wrote:
    PC2-4200 RAM is not PC2-5300 RAM. The former is DDR2 533 MHz and the latter is DDR2 667 MHz. You cannot use the former if your computer requires the latter. Your model requires DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300 RAM, not PC2-4200.
    Actually it should work but with what should be an obvious performance penalty. I've tried it (used PC2-4200) myself on my late 2007 model when I was bored and had access to some PC2-4200 modules from another computer that was upgraded. I've read the Intel chipset datasheets, and they've always had backwards compatibility in mind. The MacBook4,1 designation is for the last of the Intel chipsets. I'd also take a wild guess that the NVIDIA chipset versions might work with PC2-4200, although it's been reported that they work with PC2-6400.
    If PC2-5300 is mixed with PC2-4200, it should read as DDR2 533 in system profiler. The default when speeds are mixed is to run both at the same speed. I tried all sorts of combinations including 2 GB (PC2-5300) + 512 MB (PC2-4200), 2x512MB PC2-4200, 512 MB (PC2-4200) + 512 MB (PC2-5300).
    Apple doesn't exactly tout this as a feature, but in my experience it will work. It's not an ideal solution and frankly I wouldn't go out of my way to get PC2-4200. However - I've tried it myself out of curiosity and found that it did work - at least in my machine.

  • K9N2 SLI using ddr2-1066 memory

    I am about to purchase the K9N2 SLI motherboard and noticed it has a memory rating of 1.9v. 
    But when looking for ddr2-1066 memory to use with an AM2+ processor, all I can find is 2.1+v memory. 
    Msi says the board is rated for 1066 yet there doesn't appear to be any memory manufactured within that range. Anybody know if the 2.1v will work?
    I didn't think you could use a higher rated voltage.

    Quote from: Stu on 05-August-08, 06:25:23
    Yes, it will work, if needed you'll be able to raise the memory voltage in BIOS settings.
    No, it will not work. It won't even work with the updated bios version (3.3). I currently have this Motherboard and have been working with MSI to resolve this issue and one other issue.
    I am currently running a AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ Black Edition. My memory is Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 800 4x1GB. The memory is 4-4-4-12 at 2.1. The bios will not automatically set this and you have to manually set the timings and voltage and when you adjust the voltage higher than 1.9 it forces the memory to run at 400mhz rather 800mhz. So technically it will allow you to set the voltage higher, but it will only allow the memory to run at half speed. This motherboard also will not allow you to adjust the CPU multiplier. I have tried both the AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition and the 5400+ Black Edition, and regardless of what you set it at, it will not take effect at all. I have tried both processors in a Gigabyte board and the Gigabyte board will allow you to adjust the Multiplier (CPU RATIO).
    Also, if you attempt to run any memory that runs at 2.0 or higher, MSI will not provide you with technical Support.
    MSI's response to my memory issue:
    The memory you are using requires a voltage of 2.1v, the K9N2 SLI Platinum only supports up to 1.9v. We cannot assist you with this situation any further.

  • Can I use DDR2/667 ram in a machine wants DDR2/533 ram?

    I searched all over these forums, googled my eyes out, read the dev note for my machine and could not find a definitive answer...
    The scenario is this: I have a PowerMac G5 (Late 2005) M9590LL/A, that is spec'd for DDR2/533 or PC2-4200.
    I have a friend who just bought a 24" Intel iMac and upgraded the ram to 2 GB, thus he has 2 pieces of 512 mb DDR2/667 that are unused.
    He will sell them to me at a very good price. Will they work in my machine? Can you use FASTER ram and will it clock down to the proper speed in a machine that is looking for slower ram?
    Right now in almost all places online the DDR2/533 chips are MORE expensive than the DDR2/667 chips.
    Right now my machine still has the stock of 512 mb of DDR2/533 ram (2 pieces of 256 mb).
    Another friend told me to just put the chips in and see if they will work, I do not want to do this if there is some minor voltage difference that will either damage the motherboard or the DDR2/667 chips or both.
    I know in the PeeCee world, you can use PC133 ram in systems that need PC100, and DDR/333 ram in systems that need DDR/266, and likewise DDR/400 in systems that are looking for DDR/333, but I remember reading that DDR2 ram is more sensitive to BUS speed and voltage than DDR(1) ram.
    Any ideas?
    Please help me :>
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Even if you found a similar form factor module with a
    higher spec than Apple's official, I would not put it
    in the machine. Mac OS X can be very particular
    about the kind of RAM that is installed, and panic if
    the wrong kind is installed, or cause problems such
    as unexpectedly quitting applications. Follow the
    specs to the letter. See my FAQ:
    http://www.macmaps.com/Macosxspeed.html#RAM
    So you are basically saying that higher-clocked ram will not spec down to run slower?
    Thanks for the info. I will give a good read to the link here to your FAQ.

    You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
    OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
    You can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store witht a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
    These are good online stores for Mac compatible RAM
    OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/ - They offer Mac tested RAM at very good prices.

  • [915 Series] 915G-Combo with OCZ-DDR2-533/4200 no post - help!

    I was hoping one of you wonderful experts on this board might be able to help.  I just bought a pair of OCZ DDR2-RAM and am having trouble getting the system to recognize it.  Here are the specs:
    RAM specs:
     - 533MHz DDR2, unbuffered CL 3-3-3-8
     - 1GB (2X512) dual channel optimized gold kit
     - 1.8V 240pin DIMM
     - 2.2V EVP - OCZ's unique Extended Voltage Protection feature allows PC2-4200 modules to handle voltages up to 2.2V ±5%
     - OCZ part number:-OCZ25331024ELDCGE-K
    System specs:
        * CPU model and rated speed:-Intel Socket775 2.8GHzE
        * Not Overclocked
        * Motherboard and revision:-MSI 915G-combo
        * Motherboard Bios rev:-1.7 (latest)
        * Video card:-ATI X800XL
        * Power supply:-450W
        * Operating System:-XP Pro SP2
    My current Crucial DDR-400 PC3200 CT6464Z40B 2x512MB RAM runs without problems installed.  When I switched out the Crucial RAM and installed the OCZ DDR2-533 PC4200 RAM in the appropriate DDR2 slots (1 and 3), no go.  The system won't even post and I can't get into the BIOS.  I tried using even just one of the 512MB sticks, alternated sticks, and even tried just one stick in DDR2 in slot3 instead of slot1 - no go. My boot drives don't get accessed either as I had even placed a Memtest bootdisk in the floppy hoping it might be able to access that.
    I've been working over the last 24hrs with the very helpful OCZ folks but we havn't been able to get anywhere.  I realize that OCZ isn't technically on the 'tested and verified' DDR2-list for the 915G-combo board, but OCZ is a good name brand (up there with Crucial) and I went for the higher-end Gold-series (CAS3) so I figured it wouldn't be a problem.
    I've tried clearing the CMOS (no effect except to wipe out my bios settings).  I have a D-Bracket2 installed and it hangs when the upper right light is green with the rest red (according to the D-bracket guide, that means 'Memory Detection Test - will hang if the memory module is damaged or not installed properly'.  I can't imagine the RAM is bad - I have 2 matching ones to test (neither seem to work when installed by itself), and just got it brand new from Monarchcomputers yesterday evening in their retail box unopened.
    Per OCZ's advice, I was unable to manually set a CAS of 4 with my Crucial DDR installed (I could only manually set it to a max of 3), so I also test-tried a manual set of the BIOS memory timing to 3-4-4-10 while the Crucial DDR RAM was installed and then retried the system with only the new DDR2 installed in their appropriate slots (Crucial DDR of course removed).  Still no luck - the system won't get to bios and hangs at the Memory Test per D-Bracket2.  It won't even get to a point where it tries to access/boot from floppy so that I can't run MemoryTest from disk.
    Would anyone else out there recommend trying something else, short of going out and shelling out $140 for an ABit AA8-925X mboard that OCZ actually lists as compatible with their RAM?  My MSI 915G-Combo board has been flawless for me up to now and I'd hate to part with it just because it won't work with good OCZ DDR2 ram.  One thing I havn't tried is attempting to use an older BIOS version - I had flashed to the latest v1.7 bios prior to installing the DDR2 ram, so I've never actually tried any of the older versions.  Does anyone think this would be worth a shot?
    Cheers
    - James

    Thanks... I tried that.... still no go...
    I just got an email from OCZ techsupport (they had requested that I email them directly).
    "we have identified a problem with the PC4200 Gold DDR2 dimms, we need to get you a pair with reprogrammed SPD info on them. So we need to swap your kit out"
    They were very apologetic about it, and from what I can tell I don't think this happens a lot with OCZ ram...
    So that hopefully will be the solution to my problem.. I'm processing an RMA with them right now.. will let you know how it goes.. it's a 'relief' to find out that it most likely isn't my MSI-915G board's fault after all...
    Kudos to OCZ at least for getting back to me so quickly, even though it does suck to have my memory delayed again.. I'll post again when I get the replacement RAM and let you all know how it goes...  at least they've identified a problem and are willing to take care of it rather than leaving me hanging...

  • Is it possible to use NAS storage (which is wired via LAN to AirPort Extreme) as a Time Machine destination?

    Is it possible to use NAS storage (WD My Cloud EX2 or WD My Cloud EX4) which is wired via LAN to current AirPort Extreme, as a Time Machine backup destination?
    There are two reasons I came up with this question.
    - Connecting via Ethernet should be faster than USB 2.0 connection
    - 8TB NAS storages are slightly cheaper than 8TB USB HDD
    If it is impossible, I am planning to buy My Book Thunderbolt Duo 8TB and wire it for MacBook Pro directly for the purpose of Time Machine backup.
    I have a concern with my primal idea of backing up via WiFi, as I tend to handle big files when doing music production or movie editing. I wonder if this affect the performance of MacBook Pro, as it might take more time to complete each backup via WiFi.
    Many thanks for your advice in advance,

  • Is it possible to use a USB hub on a new MacBook Pro with Maverickss?

    I have used a powered Q-Store USB2 hub on first my old trust MacBook with the 13 inch screen running System X.6.8 for years; then I switched it over to my new 13 In. MacBook Pro (non retina) with Mavericks X.9.2 and it still works great. It is powered and seems to run a full load including USB hard drives, camera when wanted, cooling pad with fan, printer/scanner/copier combo, charging a MP3 player or Galaxy S4, apple mouse and keyboard, all with no trouble and no drop outs. I let an old Firewire 400 or 800 hard disk stay with my old Macintosh for now as it mirrors it, but sometimes hook it up with no problem except it gets hot.
    I have a new USB3  WD Passport 3 hard drive and a 32 gb USB 3 memory stick. I wanted to put these on a USB3 hub and use one of the ports for the faster items. I can run either my WD My Passport 3 Gb drive that I use to mirror my internal drive as long as it is alone. I can also plug a 32 gb A Data memory stick in fine alone except things get a bit snug, and there's no more room on the USB 2 hub for the memory stick. If I do not use a hub for the one port I have to either use the Hard Drive or the memory stick, not both. I was using the memory stick to port files back and forth between my old and new computers at least for a while. The USB 3 peripherals work reliably when plugged in alone, but the moment a hub gets in the picture even if only one item is plugged into it, things drop in and out. It does not matter if it is the powered USB 3 hub or the non-powered Anker USB 3 4 port hub. The USB 2 items simply work but the USB 3 ones only work alone. I have looked at the power specifications. It seems like one hard drive uses all of the power the hub can put out.
    It looks like the USB 3 is rather limited on Macintosh computers is all I can conclude. There may be extra speed, but what good is it if you can only run one peripheral at a time? It seems like even a hub stresses it unless it is a hub and a memory stick or two. I even changed to system settings to keep my hard drives from going to sleep, but still it drops out randomly if hooked to a hub and runs perfectly when plugged in directly. I had hoped to use it for an emergency start up disk if needed, though I must say the rather incredible StoreEdge Micro SDX card works great for that purpose and seems to belong.
    That old USB 2 hub, even with a smaller one plugged in with 2 portable hard drives still works flawlessly on the other port and never drops out.
    I have not tested the Firewire 800 port long enough to decide, except it gets hot if it reads very long.. The old Firewire 800 / USB 2 hard disk has more than one port on it unlike so many today. I had to use a Firewire 800 to 400 cable for my old computer. Anyway it works in either computer and stays mounted even when asleep.
    Is it possible to use a USB 3 hub with more than one peripheral on a 2012-2013 13 inch MacBook Pro computer with Mavericks? If so which one works? It cannot be good for hard disks to randomly disconnect and reconnect without being dragged to the trash.

    no you can't - you have to upgrade it to 16GB yourself.
    you can get your RAM from newegg.com, macsales.com.
    the RAM you need is 16GB (8GBX2) DDR3 1600MHz DDR3.
    upgrading the RAM yourself will not void your warranty.
    you need a #00 Phillips Screwdriver - 10 screws at the bottom - 7 long ones and 3 short ones - just remember where they go when you put the screws back in.

  • Is it possible to use an mSata drive as the primary drive?

    Greeting everyone,
    I recently bought an HP ENVY Phoenix 810 whiich comes with the MS-7826 (Kaili) motherboard which has an mSata slot with a 16gb msata ssd in it, but it's only being used as a cache. So my question is, is it possible to use the mSata drive as as the main bootable drive along with 3 other hard drives? I'm planning to install a 256 msata ssd along with 3 4tb hd, but want to use the msata as the main one. Is it possible, if so how?
    I've come across a few forums where they were having problems with the same thing where they were able to use it as the main drive but as soon as they installed the original bootable drive they system will not boot since the drive didn't have an operating system installed in it and it wont boot from the mSata even though the os was installed onto the mSata. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    JCCR510, welcome to the forum.
    The mSATA drive in the computer can only be used as cache and not as a boot drive.  This is the way that HP has it setup.
    You certainly can buy a SATA SSD and install it.  As you can see in my signature below, I have Samsung EVO 840 SSD in my 810-135qe.  It works great.

  • 4.0 firefox is using to much memory

    Since I upgraded to FF4.0 it acts like it was running another program in the background. it will lock up and turn the page view to a white overlay and will not react to a mouse command anywhere, not even let you out of that page. it does it with any thing you try to open but not all the time. yesterday my AVG anti virus put up a dialog box that said FF was using to much memory (1 GB). How do I correct it? I am sick of having to reboot to try and use it. I was very happy with the old Firefox . THi version Stinks. Thanks RAY Menzel

    Firefox 7 was released today and greatly reduces [https://hacks.mozilla.org/2011/09/firefox-7-is-lean-and-fast/ memory usage]. It's possible that the upgrade will also fix the hang that you are experiencing.

  • Is it possible to use a CompactDAQ and NI-DAQmx in the TPC-2212 with Windows 7 Embedded System?

    Hi,
    I would like to develop a application with the TPC-2212 (Touch panel computer)  and a CompactDaq System (NI9237 - 4-Channel, ±25 mV/V, 24-Bit Simultaneous Bridge Module).
    Is it possible or I should use a panel pc?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This thread is a bit old, but I thought it would be worth while responding (as I was wondering the same thing a day ago).
    The answer to the OP's concern(s) is YES, you can install DAQmx on your Windows 7 embedded TPC-2212 touch panel device while connecting to your cDAQ hardware.  YES, it will function (depending on your memory constraints).  DAQmx BASE is NOT a requirement (which, to me, seems very ambiguous if you're referring to NI's documentation for the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module).
    My confusion began when it seemed using the Touch Panel Module for the 2212 was a requirement, not an option.  If one proceeds with this assumption, then referring to the TPM documentation:
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371940d.pdf
    NOTE: this link above is to an older version, but the content itself (also installed locally with the TPM in \\manuals\TPC_Getting_Started.pdf) remains relatively unchanged.
    Section "Installing Additional Tools" clearly states "You must install additional tools on the target depending on the functionality you need."  Immediately following is the installation procedures for DAQmx Base.  You'll see the same statement in the LabVIEW help files that get installed with the TPM on your development machine.  Nowhere does it state, for Windows Embedded, that it's possible to use DAQmx itself.
    Because DAQmx is a bit of a heavy weight, you'll probably want to go with the Runtime (with MAX) as I did:
    Search for 'NI DAQmx Run-Time Engine - Configuration with MAX'.  I would have posted a link, but NI's site was down for maintenance at the time of this post.
    Connect to your 2212 over a network connection (I just used a cross over cable and connected directly).  Create a shared directory and copy the downloaded installer on over - install.  You could, of course, download direct if your 2212 is already networked with web access.
    I have my test station application running beautifully with an attached (USB) cDAQ chassis loaded with a variety of modules.
    I hope this post is as useful for somebody else as it would have been for me.

  • Is it possible to use Magnetic Strip Card in Java Card

    Can Any body knows that is it possible to use magnetic strip card instead of IC MicroProssesor card in Java Card technology ?
    is it possible to write java card applet on magnetic strip card ?
    Please Help me in this topic
    Thanx in advance

    If you mean having a combo of mag stripe and cpu/memory on a card, which support javacard tech, then yes.
    If you mean having a mag stripe only card which supports javacard, then no, it does not support javacard technology. Correct me if I am wrong but a mag stripe only holds a couple of bytes of datd doesn't it? Regardless no way enough for jcre, applets etc.

  • How can one use the physical memory of our system rather than virtual memory while running Labview?

    We have a Windows NT system with 2 Gb of physical memory and would like to utilize the RAM fully using Labview. What usually occurs is that Labview uses a tremendous amount of page file space while a majority of the physical memory is unused. Is there a way to configure Labview (or our system) to overcome this problem? It seems that our processes would be much faster if they were mainly using the physical memory. Is it possible to trick the system, by creating a RAM disk and allocating this as virtual memory space?

    LabVIEW the application doesn't know anything about physical versus
    virtual memory. LV asks the OS for general purpose memory and goes
    from there.
    Drivers like DAQ and IMAQ will have a combination of general user
    memory and page lo
    cked physical buffers.
    I'm not up on the details, but this is something that the OS is in
    control of, so that is where you need to look for the solution. One
    of the things to look at is the disk cache. By default, I think that
    NT takes a percentage of the RAM to use for disk cache. With that
    much RAM, this is probably unnecessary and is using too much.
    Similarly, the OS may be attempting to keep the working set size
    to a fraction of the total RAM to reserve space for other things.
    It doesn't make sense to me, but then I don't work for MS.
