Memory upgrade for MS-6156 BX7

I have a Tiny PC which contains an MS-6156 BX7 described as
PIII450I MICRO 1.4 17GB 128MBSD1
Mainboard = MS-6156 BX7
I would like to upgrade the memory but am getting a lot of conflicting info.
It has a 128mb PC100:
Can I fit a PC133 128mb sdram with the exixting one?
Can I fit a PC133 256mb sdram with the existing one?
My last option is to remove the existing dimm and fit either a 128 or 256....
Can any one advise?

see if this helps

Re: Memory upgrade for a Satellite 1800-921 PIII 1.1GHz...

I am trying to find out the memory upgrade for my Satellite 1800-921 PIII 1.1GHz... Part Number : PS183E-00HTT-EN .
It currently has a Nanya 256MB SDR-133 Mhz-CL3 & I undestand it can be upgraded with an additional 256Mb card.
The only problem is I cant seem to find one compatible! Any ideas what is require & where I could get it from?

Hello
The compatible module is PC100 256MB with part number PA3069U-1M25.

Memory upgrade for KM3M-V mobo (aka MS 7061-01S)

Hi, this is my first post. I've read the guidelines and searched for an existing topic but can't find one that quite matches what I want to ask, so I'm posting a new topic - please forgive me I have erred!
I have a TIME Computers desktop (please don't ask why), mobo being a MSI KM3M-V (also known as MS7061-01S), which is based on VIA KM266 chipset. CPU = Sempron 2400+.
I've just installed a new graphics card, an ATI All-in-Wonder 9200SE, with associated drivers and software including Catalyst (which menat I had to instal MS .net framework too). This seems to be working OK but overall speed not great. (Also, for some reason I don't seem to be getting any sound at all, but I expect I can fix that with a bit of trail and error.)
My next step is to increase the memory. Existing memory installed is one 256MB UDIMM module, but I'm aiming to remove it and instal 2 x 1GB UDIMM modules, which I know the mobo can take. Naturally I'm looking to get the maximum available performance (subject to stability considerations), so I'm looking to go for the highest bandwidth/speed the system can take. This is where it gets tricky. Having searched Crucial, Kingston and other memory configurators plus various other tech articles and indeed MSI's own website, I've reached the conclusion that I can select memory in PC2100/ 2700/ etc up to 4000 or even higher provided that the maximum memory chip size (density) does not exceed 128MB.
But I'm not sure about the speed limitation: is there any point in buying DIMMs capable of DDR333 or 400 - will my chipset limit the speed to 266MHz anyway? I'll be grateful for any expert views.

Thanks for the quick reply, Exo. I agree with you 100% that it's best to go for (at least) PC3200 with a view to a likely future upgrade. As I see it, it makes sense to go for the highest spec available at reasonable cost - so I would probably aim for PC4000 rather than 3200. There doesn't seem to be any downside in doing so (provided one is happy to tweak the BIOS where necessary), and even the MSI MOBO spec seems to endorse this view - see bit picked out in red below:
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=KM3M-V&class=mb
Main Memory
• Supports four memory banks by using two 184-pin DDR DIMMs
• Supports a maximum memory size of 2GB.
• Supports 2.5v DDR SDRAM DIMM
Due to the High Performance Memory design, motherboards or system configurations may or may not operate smoothly at the JEDEC (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) standard settings (BIOS Default on the motherboard) such as DDR voltage, memory speeds and memory timing.

Memory Upgrade for T61

Hi friends,
I have a T61 7663-xxx system, with 1 GB PC2-5300 667 MHz RAM. My Front Side Bus is 800 MHz ( I think so!), Everest software reports my memory controller is dual channel capable, and ~ 85% physical utilization of RAM. I have a nVidia Quadro NVS 140M 128 MB graphics card, but Everest reports 512 MB ?
I would like to upgrade my RAM, and buy some online.
a) Should I buy a similar 2 GB PC2-5300 RAM for my system for performance boost, running Windows XP 32 bit? If so, should I buy Lenovo RAM only, for maintaining my 3 year warranty intact?
Only ThinkPad and Lenovo memory will assume ThinkPad and Lenovo notebook systems limited warranty
b) What are the other best alternatives for good quality, reliable laptop memory, besides Lenovo?
c) Would it be better if I am able to buy RAM which can match my FSB? Will this have any performance benefit? Do these similar FSB speed RAM exist?
Kindly suggest top memory makers, if any.
I could not find any Lenovo 800 MHz memory from their website.
Kindly help me solve my memory upgrade problem.
I am a mechanical engineering student, hence I don't have any idea about FSB and the like, so I request the learned members to cast light on this area.
Info about reputed online sites in US, with fast delivery will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hmm. As far as I know, the internal graphics card can't be upgraded. There's some dock you can buy that lets you add a graphics card for use with an external monitor, but I don't know much about it. The cpu is more likely to be upgradeable, but don't attempt unless you know a decent amount about hardware servicing. Also, make sure the cpu will be supported by the motherboard! Best not to buy one with a clockspeed higher than what Lenovo sold (core 2 duo at 2.6 ghz).
Why do you want to upgrade so much? I run 2.1ghz with discrete graphics and 2gb ram under Vista, and it runs beautifully. If you have integrated graphics, then that might be a bit of a pain, but hey, you've got better battery life!
Anyway, I'd look more into de-cluttering your computer to speed stuff up. Remove anything you don't need, especially Lenovo tools that run in the background and you may not need. Turn off search indexing (slower searches, but faster overall performance). There are some nice guides online, if you google "vista tuneup."
Good luck! Enjoy your T61 as it is! It's a lovely laptop

Memory upgrade for Satellite L30-134

I have a Satellite L30-134 which appears to be running quite slowly - I think due to large amount of photos and itunes music.
I am wondering which is the easiest way to resolve - buy a memory upgrade (no idea how to change the memory though) or get an external hard drive?
And if I change the memory will I lose what is already saved on the laptop?

I agree with Ganz the bigger HDD will not improve the performance but only increase the available HDD space it would helps you to store more music and pic files on the HDD ;)
The memory upgrade would also not bring an performance boost of course the performance would be a little bit better because the most stuff would be handled directly in the memory and not temporally on the HDD but generally its not really noticeable.
Anyway if you want to upgrade the memory check this:
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=25737&ft=m&st=3
You have to use DDR2 533MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM

Memory upgrade for HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF

Hi all!.
I've got a problem for upgrading RAM memory on my HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF. In fact, upgrading is from 2GB to 4GB.
I think all technical details are the same ones. So, there're two memory modules on my PC (ELPIDA 1GB 1Rx8 64 bit DDR3 1333 PC3-10600 CL9 240 DIMM).
Now, I'd like to install only a new 4GB memory module from Kinsgton (KVR13N9S8/4 - 4GB 1Rx8 512M x 64-Bit PC3-10600
CL9 240-Pin DIMM).
Finally, there's a 5 beeps cycle sound at PC power on. So, machine doesn't work. Would you mind to write down what's the problem?
Thanks very much.

Do you have a black memory slot and 3 white ones? Which slot are you putting the 4 gig DIMM into? Have you tried it with the 4 gig in the black slot and the 2 x 1 gig modules in the white slots?

Question about Memory Upgrade for iMac G3/350 - Slot Loading

I was thinking of upgrading my memory and found this on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350070149602
The auction says that it won't work in an apple computer but it looks like it should. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James S.

I agree with Richard; if the seller says it won't work in a Mac, why bother? It's likely to be hi-density, which either won;t work or will show up in a Mac as only half its true size.
I've been hanging around these forums for nearly seven years and have seen a lot of tears shed over alleged Mac RAM bought on eBay. Your mileage may vary, but I get RAM for our 13 Macs for online venders who are Mac-savvy. They all work.

Memory Upgrade for Lenovo 3000 Notebook N200 (Type 0769)

Anyone else seen this problem?
Any help would be most gratefully received!
Cheers

hi yan_c,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
Have you tried to check the timings of the 2x2GB RAM if they are identical to the original 1GB RAM? You can use CPU-Z to check the timings of the 1GB RAM inside of Windows. As for the 2x2GB RAM, the timings should be in the packaging material.
Sample timings:

Source: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo-3000-N200-Notebook.9088.0.html
It's possible that the Memory Reference Code under the BIOS can't initiate the RAM if it has different timings. Flashing the BIOS would be the second step in this scenario.
Hope this helps.

Memory upgrade for Satellite A10-S811 PSA10E

I want to upgrade the memory on my old laptop i've found the manual and read a bit in it.
Apparently it uses PC2100 DDR (266 Mhz) has two memory slots and only allows up to 512 mb modules.
Is it at all possible to use larger and/or faster modules.
I'm hoping the low speed and size has something to do with the time it was produced before larger modules were as common as they are today.
Also how many pins are there on modules, i guess DDR modules for laptops are different from those for desktop computers.
My laptop:
Toshiba Satellite A10
SA10-S811
Model no: PSA10E-0ZJ57-DK
Any help is very much appreciated.

Hi!
Yes, maybe Intel said that the chip set supports 2GB but its only known to me that the Satellite supports 1GB max.
You can try it with 2GB but I think it will not work. The BIOS and other factors must support more RAM.
As far as I know you buy double sided RAM because the notebook has only two slots. This fact is only interesting with more than two slots.
Bye

Hard drive and memory upgrade for macbook

What is the maximum hard drive I can install on a 2ghz core duo macbook, I currently also have 2g memory but want to know what the maximum upgrade on that can be as well. Trying to update the internal components and I thought i'd ask you often reliable folk in the community.

Sorry about that--missed the "also" in your first post! We get a lot of folks who don't understand the difference between RAM and hard drive space, and I sometimes make assumptions. Again, my apologies!
Check in System Profiler for your computer's Model Identifier; this can be used to determine the amount of RAM your computer can handle.
You can check the information yourself using crucial.com's memory scanner tool or by using MacTracker: http://mactracker.ca/

HD and Memory upgrade for MacBook Pro 13" i5.

I just bought an MacBook Pro 13' i5.
a) Can somebody suggest a HD to replace this? I heard that some HD have good capacity but consume a lot of battery life. I am thinking of 750 gb or 1 Tb - 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm. Budget is around $110.
b) I want to upgrade to 8 gb memory as well. Any suggestions? Budget is around $80.
Thank You

Hi Kevin,
Macsales is a good place for RAM, as is Crucial and Kingston. If you get it elsewhere, make sure it's guaranteed 100% compatible and has a lifetime warranty on it.
If you want to research HDs, TomsHardware and xlr8yourmac are a couple of good sites. For more user reviews, newegg and amazon are helpful.

Memory Upgrade for Pavilion DM4-1210TX

Hello,
I have a first gen Pavilion DM4-1210TX running WIndows 7 home on 2GB memory.
The current 2 GB memory is a PC3 10600S. I assume it is a DDR3 at 1333Mhz.
Problem is, I've tried to upgrade by putting in 1 brand new Kingston 8GB DDR3 1333Mhz ram. Of course I took out the original 2GB ram first. The BIOS recognizes the new 8 GB ram.
But all I get is a Blue screen after the starting screen.
I'm told my generation of this laptop is not compatible with all brand new DDR3 memory.
Is this correct? And any reason why?
Thanks.

Hi,
What is the model of your Kingston RAM ? May be they have same speed but different characteristics. Please try the following vendor (for a similar machine):

Memory upgrade for L505D

My L505D creeps in Corel Draw just with basic graphics. I have 3GB of RAM installed, would upgrading to 4GB of RAM help with graphics?? Is there anything I can do with system settings to improve graphics card/graphics memory perfromance?? THANKS,

Part of the problem would be the basic graphics. It simply can't redraw the screen as well as a better ATI or nVidia graphics chipset can for a number of reasons.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Memory Upgrade for Mac Pro 1,1

Hello,
I have what I believe is a first generation Mac Pro. The system profiler says it's version 1,1.
When I bought it, I had an additional 2 GB of ram installed by the dealer for a total of 3GB.
Today I am trying to install a pair of 2GB DIMMS for a total of 7GB.
I bought the memory at my local mac dealer (Mac Enthusiasts in West LA). He asked what version of Mac I had and I said I thought it was first generation. He asked for the serial number, but I didn't know I needed one. I did however bring the manual and told him the date was 2006.
He assured me he had the right memory for my machine, despite my offering to get the serial number from home.
The point of all this is when I opened up my mac to install the memory, I was surprised to see that the original factory memory had HUGE BLACK HEAT SINKS on it. The second, dealer-installed memory had SLIM SILVER HEAT SINKS, and now finally the memory I bought today has NO HEAT SINKS WHATSOEVER.
Is it possible that memory technology has improved and newer DIMMS run cooler and don't need heat sinks? Or do I have the wrong memory? Is there any online guide or utility I can use to determine if I can use these modules?
Finally, here is the text on the sticker of the modules:
2GB PC2-5300 (667Mhz) DDR2 DIMM
The chips themselves appear to say "Lynnix" KOR
Please help.
Thanks,
P-FO

You indeed have the first generation Mac Pro. It can use up to 8 - 240-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 ECC fully-buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) in (matched pairs.) The modules should have an Apple certified or similar heat sink. Do not use DIMMs without heat sinks as they will not last and may be subject to frequent errors. The DIMMs must be fully buffered (FB) and must be error correcting (ECC) and installed in matching pairs.
Whatever your local dealer sold you if there's no heat sink, they aren't FB and ECC modules, then don't use them.
For proper installation see the following:
About RAM installation in the Mac Pro
Mac Pro memory arrangement photos
Mac Pro Memory Configuration
Memory Tests- "2008" Mac Pro
Ram should be installed minimally in matched pairs and optimally in matched quads. This means the memory modules are the same size and specifications. They should also be equipped with the Apple-certified style of heat sink.

Memory upgrade for Lenovo 3000 V200 - only 2Gb seen :(

I bought 2 Transcend DDR2 800 SO-DIMM modules 2Gb each to upgrade memory on Lenovo 3000 V200 notebook.
When I installed them, BIOS (and Windows) sees only 2Gb instead of 4Gb (i use x64 OS so no prob with OS here).
When I install one of new modules and original 1Gb that was in notebook initially - only 1Gb seen instead of 3.
I already checked that all memory modules are OK, both memory slots (if used only one) are OK too.
But when both slots used together only lowest volume memory module is seen.
BIOS update to latest awailable (6th release, ...60WW) didn't help.
In specification stated that this model support up to 4Gb memory but I can't force it to support even 3Gb, only 1 or 2.
Is it possible to do something in this situation?

Probably the Transcend memory is not compatible, it does happen.
