Lenovo G470 ram upgrade should i choose 8GB or 16 GB?

I am planning to upgrade the 4GB ram on my G470 win 7 64 bit home premium laptop. Should i choose 8gb or 16gb? Regards

hi pilot911,
Welcome to the Forums.
Looking at page 27 of the HMM, the G470 can take up to:
DDR3-1066/1333MHz SODIMM socket x 2 (max 4GB per slot).
If you're planning to max it out then you will need a 4GBx2 (8GB kit). If you already have a single 4GB stick though then you just need to get another 4GB.

I've entered the bios at boot but i didn't see anything where i can set the right type of ram.
Can you help me please?

Hi Locutus,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that the computer will support complete 32GB of RAM/Memory only if each slot is installed with 8GB RAM, below are images for its combination information and its RAM specifications.

Do I need a RAM upgrade

Hi- I've got a PB 1.67GHZ (aluminum) with 1GB RAM (2 512MB chips).
I tend to leave lots of apps open (around 10) for my workflow. I'm always having to jump between apps. None of them are particularly taxing though I do play one game that takes over the system (so I shut down other apps for that). My system definitely gets slower with lots of apps open.
Currently, my Activity Monitor shows page in/out as 307943/213848. I'm thinking that second number is not good and I ought to get some more RAM.
In addition to recommending a RAM upgrade, should I go for just an upgrade to 1.5GB or go for 2GB?

Currently, my Activity Monitor shows page in/out as
307943/213848. I'm thinking that second number is
not good and I ought to get some more RAM.
Your system is memory deprived. The general guideline is that page outs should be 10% or less of page ins. Yours are currently about 69%, meaning for every 10 page ins, your system is paging out roughly 7 pages. A page out is where the system has to move something out of memory to disk to make room for something else, and that impacts performance.
You can upgrade to 1.5gb by installing a 1gb RAM strip, and monitor your page ins/outs and performance/feel. For what you run, that may do it for you. However, if you don't see much improvement, then going to 2gb is available to you.
Recommend Crucial, Kingston (not their valueram line), or Samsung memory, which has proven reliable in our PB's. Crucial can be found at their website http://www.crucial.com , Kingston at http://www.kingston.com , and Samsung is available from a number of companies, of which OWC at http://www.macsales.com is one source.

Macbook Pro is Not Booting After RAM Upgrade

Hi,
I just upgraded the RAM in my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion from 4gb to 8gb (Using the memory that the guy at Fry's recommended). It has been stuck on the Apple logo for about 20 minutes after the upgrade, even after I made sure that the RAM was seated properly. Is it normal for it to take this long to boot after a RAM upgrade?

I installed 8gb (2 X4gb) and it has a maximum of 8gb. I have determined that it was just bad RAM, so I will return it as soon as I can.
Thanks.

Ram upgrade issues - am i really this dumb?

I just purchased a pair of ram modules, tried installing them several times - different slots etc, but they are not recognized - I'm pretty sure they're the right type, but maybe I'm mistaken. Any help would be appreciated - I'm banging my head against the wall on this one. A ram upgrade should be a no brainer no?
Anyway the ram i bought is 2x 1gb ddr2-533 dimm 4200.
I have a G5 quad 2.5 - currently has 4x 1gig modules and 2x 256mb modules.

You've posted in the Mac Pro forum. Are you asking about RAM for a G5 Quad or for a Mac Pro?
G5 Quad: 240 pin DDR2 533 MHz PC2-4200 ECC or NECC SDRAM
Mac Pro: 240 pin DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300 ECC (FB - fully buffered) DIMM and should have an Apple approved or equivalent heat sink.
Both machines require RAM be installed in pairs. For best performance in the Mac Pro RAM should be installed in quads.

HI, I HAVE A MacBook Pro 2.3GHz dual-core Intel i5 AND I WAN'T TO UPGRADE THE HARD DRIVE UP TO 750GB AND ALSO THE RAM MEMORY TO 8GB. WHAT SPECIFIC MODEL OF HARD DRIVE AND RAM MEMORY SHOULD I BUY??? THANKS

No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
Good luck,

RAM upgrade lenovo G510

Hi,
I wanted to upgrade RAM of my lenovo G510.
It is currently having i5 4th Gen 4gb memory.
Can I upgrade it to 12GB (means adding 8GB) in another slot.
If possible, will Transcend JetRam ddr3 (JM1600KSH-8G) compatible?

Second ram stick should be the same type and timings, voltage but diffrent manufacturer should work.I have sharetronic and kingston 4gb ddr3l each working dualchannel fine.

Lenovo G40 ~ 70 ram upgrade problem

I bought a lenovo G40 ~ 70 laptop and I wanted to upgrade my ram.It contains 4gb ram and I wanted to upgrade it to 8gb .What type of ram card should I buy and after the upgrade will my computer have problems? thank you.

Hi Ayato,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are looking for RAM upgrade for your Lenovo G40-70 laptop.
As per the specification of this model , the maximum memory supported by this model is upto 16GB DDR3L 1600Mhz.Hence I would suggest you to look into DDR3L RAM as the RAM slots in the laptop will only support the same. And "L" in DDR3L refers to low voltage.
Click here for the model specification.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists.
Best regards,

Battery life diminished from 7Hs to 3Hs after a 4Gb- 8Gb RAM Upgrade. MacBook i5 Late 2011 Os 10.7.5

I upgraded RAM from 4Gb to 8Gb on a 3 months-old MacBook Pro. Before that, my battery used to last 6-7hs and now it hardly lasts 3.5Hs
I also noticed that the cooler almost never stops, and the computer feels HOT.
As a developer, I give the Mac an instensive use, runing an Oracle database within a Windows XP (I'm sorry) virtual machine with VMWare.
At the same time I run Oracle Reports and Oracle SQL Developer on the MAC side and TeamViewer to connect to my remote customers' servers.
Before upgrading RAM, the memory usage used to be 100% and the performance was poor. Now the performance is much better, the memory usage is around 75% but the battery is much weaker. Shouldn't be the other way around, as now the hard disk RAM pagination should be less?
Is that normal???? What can I do, other than going back to 4Gb and see what happens? Will it help if I upgrade to Mountain Lion?
Thank you!!

I am worried I am having the exact same problem with my Early 2011 MacBook Pro. I purchased an SSD from Crucial as well as two 8GB RAM sticks, which upgraded my RAM from a total of 4 GB to a total of 16 GB. I swapped the drive and RAM when I received my order in late February. Now, just a couple of weeks later, I am experiencing issues. The fan seems to be running a lot more often, and yesterday my MacBook went haywire. I took some video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQrcv0iU3Ic I ran the apple hardware test (the basic one, not the extended one) and it did not find any issues. These are the things I purchased: CT5419725 CT512MX100SSD1.PK01 UPGRADE FOR A APPLE MACBOOK PRO (13-INCH, EARLY 2011) SYSTEMandCT3373717 CT2K8G3S1339M.000 UPGRADE FOR A APPLE MACBOOK PRO (13-INCH, EARLY 2011) SYSTEM If the 2011 MacBooks can't handle 16GB of RAM, I'd like to return it and do 8 instead. Before I purchased the RAM, I did some reading online, and it seemed that 16GB would be OK, but now I'm not so sure. kate

RAM upgrade: DDR3 or DDR3L for Lenovo IdeaPad G710 59-410793 ?

I searched a lot, but I still can’t find out, what kind of memory I have in my Lenovo.
RAM is marked as “Samsung M471B5173DB0-YK0 4GB”.
Search gave me different answers. Some say, that it’s voltage is 1,35(V) (as I understand, It is low voltage DDR3L). Others say, that it has 1,5(V) voltage (ordinary DDR3). I even found this one – “Description: PC3-12800, 1.5V, 1.35V…” (hm, some sort of a hybrid? .
UPD: Image+screens:
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
and AIDA64:
and AIDA64:
As you see on screens - this is probably a DDR3L memory installed. But, I've read somewhere, that DDR3L is actually a DDR2 modified (overclocked or whatever they call it). And I'm not happy about it.
So, what kind of memory I should buy? (I want 8gb + 8gb). Can it be simple and well known DDR3, with no 'L'-experements?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Good day.
From everything I've read here in the forums, Haswell CPU machines use DDR3L RAM. There are a number of reports of machines not booting with DDR3 installed.
Disclaimer: I have no experience with the G710, personally, so hopefully other community members will be able to confirm for you, definitively.

RAM upgrade up to 8GB on Satellite C660-180

Hey guys,
Thanks a lot for taking a look at my post.
I have Satellite C660-108. I'm thinking of upgrading ram from 3 GB up to 8 GB.
I will be very grateful if someone could answer my questions before I make a purchase.
This is a Ram model. I'm thinking of buying.
Kingston HyperX Plug in and Play DDR3 1600MHz CL9 8GB SODIMM Memory Module
I wonder if it would fit to my laptop ?
Also I found this on C660-108
Type : Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD
memory amount : up to 1,273 MB shared memory with 3 GB system memory installed, and up to 1,696 MB with 4 GB system memory, (with pre-installed 64-bit operating system)
memory type : shared .
If I upgrade ram up to 8 GB would it mean that my graphics system memory will be up to 3,392 MB as well ?
Thank you so much.
Kit

According to Toshiba notebook spec page, the 8GB RAM (2 x 4GB) are definitely possible.
Kingston is a good RAM manufacturer and provide good quality modules.
The RAM modules should support following sepcs:
DDR3 1066MHz (PC3-8500)
The CPU PENTIUM P6100 (2.00GHZ) supports an 1.066MHZ FSB and therefore the PC3-8500 should run at full speed 1066MHz
> f I upgrade ram up to 8 GB would it mean that my graphics system memory will be up to 3,392 MB as well ?
More RAM means a bigger part can be shared with the GPU but this is controlled by graphic card driver automatically.

MBP 13 Inch Mid 2010 Only accepting 6 GB Ram upgrade not 8GB

I just tried upgrading my ram today from 4GB to 8GB and the computer will only accept 6GB. Not both 2x4GB sticks. The Ram is within the specs for the computer and should be working just fine. Not sure what is going on. Both sticks work with a 2gb stick but not together. Any help would be appreciated. Here is the specs on the Memory. G.Skill 2x4GB DDR3 SODIMM 204PIN PC3-10666

A 2010 MBP RAM should have these specifications: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM. The RAM you installed does not appear to match what is required.
Macs are very selective when it come to RAM. OWC and Crucial are the most reliable vendors for Mac compatible RAM.
I suggest that you return the RAM and purchase from the afore mentioned vendors.
Ciao.

Mac Mini (late 2012) ram upgrade: 8gb dual channel vs 10gb? Flex Mode?

I attempted to upgrade my Mac Mini (late 2012) from the stock 4gb of ram to 8gb. However, I messed up and didn't pay attention when buying the ram online and ordered 1x8gb stick rather than 2x4. Will losing dual channel with a 2/8 combo (10gb) make a difference that I will notice? Will having the additional 2gb make up for any lost performance? And finally, is flex mode available with the Mac Mini so that I'd still be running 4gb at dual channel and 6gb single?
The 8gb stick arrived and I'd like to install it but Ill send it back and get the 2x4 depending on what I hear back.
Thanks
Ryan

to the best of my knowledge, when upgrading your Mac mini's RAM, you must upgrade it with 2 SODIMM's at a time. When I bought my Mac mini Late 2012 model it had all the base level specs. Pretty soon the stock 4GB (2x 2GB) just wasn't fast enough. I bought a Crucial 16GB upgrade from Amazon (2x 8GB) and now my Mini is much faster especially when I am using Photoshop.
Only thing I would do next is trying to swap the boot HD to a SSD, but am unsure as my Mac mini late 2012 is under AppleCare through December 2015 and I do not know if it would void the warranty.
