Laptop Ram compatible question

Can I add a 2gb 2rx8 pc2 6400s 666 12 e3 Samsung Memory chip  to my new HP Pavilion dm4-2035ca to increase the total ram to 6GB, the 4 and 2 

Hi:
My recommendation is to take the guesswork out of the process, and download and run the free Crucial Memory Scanner, which will scan your notebook and report how much and what kind of memory you can install in your notebook.
Then you can either purchase it online from there, or buy it elsewhere.  The good thing about Crucial memory is they guarantee compatibility.

  • Witch laptops are compatible/incompatible with windows XP/VISTA

    Hi so i am planning on buying Apple MacBook or maybe PRO
    i have a list of laptops that are served in our area:
    Apple MacBook Pro MA895
    Apple MacBook Pro MA610
    Apple MacBook Pro MA611
    Apple MacBook Pro MA897
    Apple MacBook MB062
    Apple MacBook MB063
    and i need to know wich one of those are compatible or incompatible with Windows XP? please make a quick response
    In advance thank you for your time

    All of the "MacBook" laptops are compatible with XP/Vista.
    One thing to note is that BootCamp is currently in the beta version (at least until when OS X Leopard comes out), so you may have some minor problems installing and running windows, but they should be fine.
    Another thing to note is since Vista craves a lot of CPU, RAM, HD and graphics, I would suggest you going to a MacBook Pro. I have heard that Vista does not run smoothly on computers with less than 2 GB RAM, nor does all of its features render well if you don't have a 128 MB graphics card. Increasing the MacBook's RAM to 2 GB may also significantly increase the performance.
    Either way, the option is yours. All of them should work out fine, with perhaps a couple of firmware updates

  • RAM upgrade question

    When I ordered my laptop a few years ago it came with 4gb RAM standard, but you could upgrade to 6GB up to a max of 8GB. I bought it with 6GB. I want to upgrade to 8GB, and I know there are 2 RAM slots in the laptop. My questions is, did they use a 6gb stick in one of the slots or did they use a 4gb in one and a 2g in the other? Im hoping to get an answer so I dont have to open it up and look for myself. I dont know if I should order a 2gb or a 4gb stick to get it up to 8gb.  With that being said, does anyone know if HP would put in a 6gb stick or run a 4gb and 2gb together? Im assuming they put in a single 6gb and I would just need to buy a 2bg upgrade. Thanks  Also, would it run better if I just replaced all of it and got one stick of 8gb RAM?

    Welcome to the forum!
    Yes, you can add 1Gb of PC2700 RAM to the empty slot in your machine, and it will work just fine.
    Hope this helps.

  • Desktop RAM upgrade questions

    Hi, I have hp elite m9000t series desktop with 2 GB(1 x 1GB) ram and as per the specs and research in hp website it can support to 8gb. RAM is of DDR2-SDRAM (pc2-5300 / 667 MHZ) type. I have 2 more slots open, so guess that can add 4gb(2 x 2gb) of ram. Question is 1) do i need to buy the sam ddr2 667 mhz ram or can i go to higher speed models? 2) is it compatible to have 2 slots with 1 gb  each and another 2 slots with 2gb ram each? 3)what is the recomended RAM for window7 better peformance? i am planning to install VMware to do other OS like linux, etc.. given that i may need more RAM. Please suggest me on the memory upgrade..I am seriously looking towards windows7 release date, i am very much disappointed with vista, cant wait for windows 7.
    btw, i am planning to upgrade to 64bit windows 7 professional, currently i am running with home premium 32bit.

    It's best to install RAM which is just like the one you have right now, i.e. pc2-5300 / 667 MHZ. In fact, I would recommend using RAM from the same manufacturer as the one that is currently installed. Each slot should have the same amount of RAM. So I suggest you use 1+1 or 2+2 rather than 1+2. Since you'll be using VMWare(hope your processor supports Virtualization), I suggest you go for 2+2.

  • Advice on how to access photos on an iPad that were synced from a now failed laptop? The question stems from a need to return my current iPad having just taken delivery of a new unit. Thanks

    I am after some advice on how to access photos on an iPad that were synced from a now failed laptop? The question stems from a need to return my current iPad having just taken delivery of a new unit. Thanks

    If you have a dropbox account, there's a free app (probably more) that syncs photos to your dropbox account - picbox. 
    There's also PhotoSync that syncs photos to/from a number of different services and devices.

  • I want to buy a new laptop so my question is should i buy the new 2013 macbook air 13in or wait for the next model (june 2014) ?

    This will be my first mac laptop, so my question if i am goin to miss a huge jump in the specifications for the next year release or not ?

    We know there will eventually be a new MacBook Air (though the terms of use here prohibt speculation about it). We have no idea when it will come out or what it's specs will be. Retired Engineer's advice is exactly the same as mine. If you need a computer now, buy it. It is a powerful computer and except for the fact there's no 2TB SSD available (not that I could afford it if one existed) it could be my one and only computer. If you merely want a new computer, wait until you need one.

  • Another RAM upgrade question

    Hi everyone,
    I know there seems to be lots of RAM upgrade questions here but hey thats what forums are for.
    I'm looking to upgrade my macbook's RAM it's currently got 2GB (2x1GB)
    Is it possible to purchase 1x4GB and put that with one of my current 1GB sticks to create a total of 5GB?
    I would be interested to know if this is possible or if anyone has tried it.
    Thanks in advance
    Scott

    This will work if your MacBook is late '07 or newer.

  • IMac user Installable Memoery -512MB PC133 144-PIN SDRAM SODIMM LAPTOP RAM

    Will 512MB PC133 144-PIN SDRAM SODIMM LAPTOP RAM be suitable for my iMac G4 800? The spec seems to meet the requirements as specified in other posts. It is available on e-Bay at less than £25.00
    Thanks in advance of your help

    Well that is the correct specification, but as always buyer beware on ebay. Is that seller going to replace the module or accept a return if the module doesn't work? Having had trouble with cheap (and even branded) RAM in the past I only buy from reputable Mac-friendly suppliers now and happily pay the extra for the piece of mind:Crucial

  • HP dv9629ca Laptop (Ram Question)

    Here is a RAM question. The Laptop had 2 one Gigabyte SO-DIMMs with them both installed the PC would not boot. the lights would come on but the screen remained black. I thought it was a RAM problem since when I would only put in a single stick of RAM the computer Booted no problem. I figured the one ram was BAD. Yet when i bought a 2GB SO-DIMM and added it to the 1GB already inside the computer wouldn't boot just like before. so I removed both rams and Put the 2GB stick in where the other was working and It shows 2GB now. I Know the Laptop maxes out at 4GB of RAM with a 64bit version of Windows installed. Is it possible to find a 4GB SO-DIMM and put it into the Slot that works or will it only accept a maximum of 2GB per Slot?
    Laptop Details
    AT newegg.ca they have a Single SO-DIMM that is 4GB the Laptop Max is 4GB. Not sure if it would read 4GB coming from a single SO-DIMM

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion dv9629ca Notebook Computer and here is the HP Pavilion dv9500, dv9600, and dv9700 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide for your computer. Both pieces of information indicate that 4GB (2 X 2GB) is the maximum. 2GB is the largest size supported in each slot.
    You may wish to clean the slots or reseat the memory... you may also want to inspect the slots for debris or bent contacts.

  • HDD/RAM upgrade question - 400 mhz sawtooth

    Hello!
    My Sister has a Sawtooth G4 - Well, I believe it's a sawtooth anyway. I don't know for sure, so I'll post a bunch of specs:
    It's a 400mhz model, early 2000. It shipped with a 10GB HDD, and 128 RAM. I believe it also has a 100 Mbps Ethernet. It has a DVI and VGA monitor video card, but i'm not sure the Video RAM level. It has an internal FW 400 port as well. The internal Airport card is shot - er, maybe the extension.
    It has major issues with the system - and it seems to stem from a botched OS 9.2 install. It's running 9.1, but with trouble. For one, I can't open the extension manager. For two, it's slow, and acts funny.
    Well, I thought i'd be nice, and try to get the G4 working for my Sister. It seems that it may require an Clean install of OS 9.0. Oh well, I can do that easily enough. However, before I go through all that trouble, I'm contemplating upgrading the hard drive (at least). With only 10GB, it's not very useful for iTunes, Photoshop, or our old OS 9 games - things she'd like to have.
    I looked at the specs for the Mac at:
    http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/g4saw.shtml
    It takes an 3.5 inch Ultra ATA drive? I've seen those around - and a 60GB drive or so is becoming pretty cheap. (I've seen 80G for under $50) I just figured i'd ask if anyone has tips on what to buy, how to install it, and Particularly if I need any special adapters for the G4. It does have a slot for a second internal HDD. I've also heard that a fast, second internal HDD can overheat the computer - is this a common issue I should be worried about?
    The same questions go for the RAM. I'd like to add at least an extra 128MB, but I'm not entirely sure what to get. The above site mentions that it uses PC100 SDRAM in DIMM mode? Hmmm... I'll have to look around.
    Please excuse any silly questions, I'm just far more familiar with more current systems, and it's 1 AM
    Thanks,
    Dan
    PS: It looks to have a slot for a floppy drive under the DVD-ROM drive. I have a bunch of files on our OLD PowerBook 5300 that i'd like to move - but I need a floppy drive. Our old external USB floppy drive is.... very dead. The external floppy drives i've seen at stores seem to be pretty expensive, but internal drives are still fairly cheap (some under $30). How hard would it be to find/buy/install a compatible floppy drive? What format would it need to be? If such an upgrade runs over the $40-50 that a new USB drive costs, it's not really worth it.
    15" Powerbook G4 (May 2005 ed), iMac DV (9.2.2)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1G Ram, 192 (iMac)

    Wow, thanks again!
    I figured out that this is the AGP graphics Sawtooth - not the Yikes model. Where do these names come from?
    As per upgrading to OS X - we have a G5 which she can use, and a XP box - which is down with the flu for the third (or fourth?) time. Therefore, the G4 will stay OS 9. She just wants to have a reliable machine that can play DVDs and music, and play some of our old OS 9 games. It's not intended to run any new programs, just the old ones that she can't run now. When I mentioned photoshop - it's a "Limited edition" of version 5.0 - and it's far, far, FAR more reliable on the G4 than on our 2-year-old XP box, despite the G4 running 9.1 with a wimpy 128 meg ram!
    The main reason for upgrading the HDD was to make it more practical for games and MP3s - via iTunes 2! It won't play AAC, but it plays MP3s fine. She has at least 8 Gig of music - too much for a 10G drive! (Even half of it leaves precious little expansion room)
    I'm watching for a "small" HDD - it seems that our local Fry's is no longer selling anything smaller than 100G - which was $100! Or perhaps they were just sold out at the time. I'll keep an eye out for another sale. In fact, asking my friend for an old drive is a good idea. They have parts from at least a dozen old windows and linux boxes floating around - so they likely have a drive or two. If it's a used HDD, loaded with Windows (probably 95-2000), will it confuse the system before re-formatting?
    As per RAM:
    I'm quite aware of the lack of RAM. However, I'll have to watch for sales! I'm not aware of any "Mom and Pop" stores close by, although that's a fantastic idea. A PC 133 128 MB card runs $40-50 at the local computer stores, but only $15 at OWC! Therefore, if I don't find suitable RAM locally, I'll order some. I wouldn't mind an extra 256 (or 512) for my iMac either.
    Speaking of iMac - I've determined that it's the iMac DV Special ED from March 2000. (400mhz, originally 13 Gig Drive - now 60, 9.2.2) The question is whether or not it maxes out at 512 MB or 1 GB of RAM. One of the Apple support sites I found ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58007 ) said that the slot loading iMacs max out at 512. It makes no distinction between any slot loading iMac. However at http://www.lowendmac.com/imacs/dvse.shtml, it mentions that this model specifically can accept 1 gig of RAM. I'll assume that the Apple article is correct, but I'd love to get a full 650 MB if I can! (I'd love to add a 512 to the 128 I have now)
    It's amazing, really - after 4 years of constant use, a hard drive motor failure (hence the 60G HDD), and a year and a half burried on a desk, the iMac is becoming more handy by the day. It's good at capturing the Video and audio from say, Halo, while my PB's too busy to run anything else (via S-Video and audio through our DV cam). It makes a great DVD player, an iTunes Jukebox, and game machine - most of my games are still OS 9. To top it off, it makes a great wireless base-station for my Nintendo DS at school, where there's no WiFi! With 30 gig of space left on the HDD, it has plenty of room for whatever I want to do with it. Guess you can "teach and old dog new tricks!'
    Well, I guess this means my question is answered for now - once I find the things I need, i may have some more questions, Thanks again!

    Hii,
    I am Ved from India (Delhi). I have purchase Hp 2230tx laptop in Jan'2013, Its ram is 2gb thats is too low according to my usage.
    But i have 4gb extra third party ram. If I install this ram in my laptop, "MY LAPTOP WARRANTY AFFECTED OR NOT".

    No, upgrading the RAM will not void the warranty of your notebook. The RAM you install will have it's own warranty and will not be covered by HP.
    If you have to send the notebook in for repair, they will require the original RAM be installed.

    As I understand, the 3930k works (best) with 1,35v ram. My question is, will this 1,35v ram work on the Gigabyte mobo, which supports 1,5v memory? Or do I have to adjust something in the Bios in order to make the ram work properly? Or do I have a major problem here?
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Any other suggestions on this build are welcome!

  • MS-6738 (KM2M Combo-L) RAM Upgrade Question

    Hi
    I have the MS-6738 (KM2M Combo-L) Motherboard.  At the moment it is running 512mb of RAM and I would like to upgrade to 1gig.
    I do not know the make of the RAM in place at the moment because it was there when I bought the PC, but Aida tells me this:
    FSB - Real Clock 133mhz
          - Effective Clock 267mhz
    Same goes for the RAM, 133 and 267.
    I have read into the gambles involved in mixing RAM makes, etc, but I am prepared to take this gamble (first and maybe only time!) but according to http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.asp?Mfr%2BProductline=MSI+%28Micro+Star%29%2B+Motherboards&mfr=MSI+%28Micro+Star%29&cat=&model=MS-6738+%28KM2M+Combo-L%29&submit=Go the board is compatible with DDR PC2100 and DDR PC2700, yet it reccomends (actually GUARANTEES) that the Ballistix DDR PC400 will work.  Is this correct?
    What do you consider the best option to be for an upgrade.  I can either get another 512 of the same speed (DDR PC2100??), or if it will effectively run DDR PC3200/400 then I will go for 1gig of that instead (Athalon XP 2000+).  Please let me know what you think.
    Thanks in advance for any useful posts!

    Thanks for your replies so far.
    I have read that this board suffers from problems when running more than one stick of RAM, as such I am tempted to just take out the old 512 stick and replace it with a single 1gig stick.
    The bigger question I have is whether going for a higher speed of RAM (like available and guaranteed to work on Crucial), say DDR PC3200 would have any significant effect on system performance (World of Warcraft is a major RAM hog). 
    The RAM prices are as follows:
    1GB — CT12864Z335 DDR PC2700 CL=2.5 NON-ECC UNBUFFERED £117.99 ex. VAT (ea.)  £138.64 inc. VAT* (ea.)         
    1GB — CT12864Z265 DDR PC2100 NON-ECC UNBUFFERED £125.99 ex. VAT (ea.)  £148.04 inc. VAT* (ea.)         
    1GB — CT12864Z40B DDR PC3200 CL=3 NON-ECC UNBUFFERED £133.99 ex. VAT (ea.)  £157.44 inc. VAT* (ea.) 
    As you can see the PC2700 is cheapest, but the original mobo spec states DDR PC2100 as the highest (although the official site just says 184 pin no max speed was quoted).
    Therein lies my question, would there be any point in spending the extra £20 on PC3200 when the system FSB is only 133mhz?
