Your laptop has two DIMM slots. The maximum amount of memory others have upgraded  to is 4GB. The maximum recommended by HP is 2 GB. The replacement memory will need to be PC2-5300, 667Mhz ,1.8v
Here is a link to memory at  Crucial.com.  Only use replacement modules from major memory makers who produce guaranteed compatible memory modules to avoid the risk of buying incompatible modules.

    You don't have to use Ramaxel, if that is your question. Go to Crucial and use their System Scanner to see what is recommended:

  • Upgrading Compaq Presario V2000 laptop

    hello everyone,
    I am planning on upgrading a Compaq presario V2000 laptop i currently own. I heard that it cna can only run on PC2700 RAM with a max of 1gb per slot. Currently, I have 2 X 256mb sticks installed so i plan to remove one of them and install a 1GB stick and i was wondering whether this is compatible with the laptop:
    http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_3274_PNY_Sodimm_1GB_DDR333_PC_2700_for_Laptop
    I also wanted to upgrade the hard-drive as 40gbs just doesn't cut it for me. Does anyone know whether the V2000 can hold two hard-drives? Also what hard-drives are supported by the V2000? Will any IDE 2.5" hard-drive fit in or does it only support 5400rpm drives?
    Thank you,
    Babaquazi

    Your max memory is 2 gigs or 2 x 1 gb and yes it uses DDR333 SO-DIMM memory. Here is the Crucial.com page for it:
    memory
    Here is the Manual:
    Manual
    Turn to Page 5-6 for hard drive replacement. Don't forget to save the little connector piece that goes over the hard drive pins and place it on the new drive. There is only room for one (1) drive.
    You can use any IDE (PATA) 2.5 inch laptop drive of any size and rotation speed. A 7200 rpm drive will boost performace significantly.
    Not sure if you have the Intel or AMD version of the V2000 but the processor is also upgradeable if you happen to have one using the Celeron or Sempron processor.

  • Can I put a SATA 3 Solid State Drive in my Compaq Presario CQ57-447SI?

    I would like to upgrade my Compaq Presario CQ57-447SI and replace the hard drive with a solid state drive.  I'm considering the OCZ-Vertex-4 2.5 inch SATA 3 Solid State Drive (128GB) but I'm not sure if this will be compatible with my notebook?

    Hi:
    If a SATA II drive is a lot less, then probably yes.
    Notebook specs are very sketchy. 
    The chipset may be capable of SATA III transfer speeds, but HP may not have SATA III controllers on the motherboard.
    http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/value-chipsets/mobile-chipset-hm65.html
    As you can see from the specs at the link above, the chipset has 2 SATA III ports and 6 SATA II ports.
    You would think that HP would hook up the primary SATA AHCI controller to one of the 2 SATA III ports, but that may not be the case.
    That is the best I can do for you since I don't have your notebook and cannot confirm the speed the drive runs at.
    So, if there is not much of a difference in price, I would take a gamble on the SATA III SSD.

  • Upgrading Graphics Card for Compaq Presario S4020IL

    Dear friend 
         I have compaq presario S4020IL destop PC. When I play HD video the video playing slow but the audio running normal.
    I insalled RAM of 1.47GB with 2 slot. My Processor is AMD Athlon XP 2000+(1.67GHz).graphics installed Shared Memory integrated Graphics.
              I don't know what slot is present .

              Is it posible to do any change to correct my graphics speed.
              is there any graphics card which supported my PC.
              Please help me .
              Thank you..

    You have an AGP 4x video card slot for upgrade. It will be the top slot, closest to the processor. They are usually brown, not white.
    This card would work:

    Best advice: time for a new computer. That one is just too old to do much good. But if you just want to improve it a bit, the video card will do the trick. You can find cheaper ones. If you need more help let me know.

  • Compaq Presario V3641AU RAM Upgrade Questions

    Hey guys,
    Before I go out and buy some RAM to upgrade this aging laptop, I was just wondering how much RAM the system supports. I've done some Googling and find that some sources state 4GB max, whereas others state 2GB max. I always imagined it was a 2GB max but according to the following HP site it says 4GB. If it's 4GB I will go and buy 2x2GB sticks otherwise it will have to be 2x1GB sticks. Has anyone done this before?

    Hi:
    Please see the service manual at the link below.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01154809.pdf
    See chapter 1, page 3.
    Because your model has the AMD processor, you can install 2 x 2 GB of PC2-6400 memory (4 GB).
    The manual says PC2-5300, but I know for a fact that the chipset can run the memory at 800 MHz, so you may as well bump up the speed of the memory too.
    And even if it doesn't, the PC2-6400 memory would just downclock to 667 MHz, so you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
    I have the same chipset in my dv6810us and I swapped out the memory to 2 x 2 GB of PC2-6400 and mine runs at 800 MHz.  I have the Turion TL-60 processor.
    Cheapest place to buy memory, IMO and here are my recommedations FWIW.

  • Compaq Presario 2586US laptop - hard drive upgrade

    I recently took a chance and bought 2 "parts only" Compaq Presario 2500 series laptops off Ebay and was able to make a single working PC with the motherboard from the 2586US being the motherboard I used.  I did not have a hard disk, so I bought a Samsung 160gb ATA drive.  Turns out I didn't need the little adapter on the bus end because it just plugged right into the socket on the motherboard.  The drive is supposed to be either ATA133 or ATA100 at the top end (I don't remember which).  I put the drive in and installed Windows.  I noticed that it seemed slow but Windows showed the disk at full size.  Then I went to dual-boot with a Linux distribution and encountered errors.  Through a lot of searching on the web I found out the BIOS and apparently the IDE interface itself (?) doesn't allow a disk larger than 137gb.  I checked the BIOS and indeed it says maximum usable size 137gb.  It also shows the transfer rate at DMA2 which, if I understand things correctly means it is only transferring at 33mb instead of 100mb or 133mb.  The service manual says ATA100, so it should support a DMA5 transfer rate.
    I don't claim to understand all of this at all.  So, I'm looking for help.
    (1) Is there anyway to go beyond 137gb on a hard drive in this laptop?
    (2) If not, is the fact that my drive is actually 160gb when the PC only supports 137gb causing more problems?
    (3) What do I have to do to get a transfer rate beyond DMA2?  The BIOS setup won't let me tab to that field to change it.
    Thank you for any help and explanations that I can understand.  Keep in mind I'm just your average Joe and not some sort of expert at all.  I found a lot of this on the web but not sure what it all means.
    Thanks in advance!

    It originally had a 256mb and a 512mb SODIMM, but they were unmatched.  I just went ahead and bought 2  Samsung 512mb matched SODIMM's, so I have 1 gig of memory.
    I installed Windows XP Professional SP2, then the Compaq drivers, then SP3, then all the Windows updates, then I installed ubuntu Linux 10.04 - 1 small partition for swap, 1 larger partition for everything else.
    I did re-do my disk:  I shrank the Windows partition again, deleted the Linux partitions so I had 1 huge empty space, then created a 30gig partition at the end of the drive, then installed Linux.  Windows still seems to work fine, and Linux at least boots now.  So I guess the first thing I'm going to do is waste 30gb of space for being dumb when I bought the drive.  The DMA2 thing has me bothered - the Service Manual lists the 2500 series as all ATA100.  Is it possible that as one web site said, the BIOS is detecting too large of drive and therefore thinks an error and slows the drive down?  I would have thought since the Service Manual  (page 1-23, Mass Storage ) says it supports ATA100 (ultraDMA5?) that it would either say DMA5 in the transfer field or at least let me change it.
    This is getting quite a bit above my knowledge base as far as why it's running the transfer at DMA2.  On the Internal Hard Disk BIOS set up page it says "Auto" for the type.  When I change that to "User Defined", I can tab to the transfer field, but the selections are all PIO or up to DMA2 - nothing above that.  That seems like some kind of BIOS error or else the Service Manual is in error.
    Thanks for your help so far!   Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

  • Compaq Presario 2100 Laptop SSD Upgrade

    I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop the was brand new in 2003. I have a newer laptop, but an currently trying to upgrade the Presario 2100 as much as possible. It's kind of a project now and I also want to get as much use as possible out of it. I have heard that the SSDs are super fast and would improve performance quite a bit. Has anyone made the upgrade to a SSD for their Persario 2100 series laptop already? All input is appreciated, especially all of the product info that was used for the upgrade. If nobody has done this, then does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade the Presario 2100 series laptop to a SSD?

    Believe it or not the Service Manual is still available. 
    Manual
    The Presario 2100 uses old school PATA (EIDE) hard drives which are different than the SATA SSDs you mostly see on the market. However, there are PATA SSDs. They cost a bit more per gig, obviously. I have put a PATA SSD in a laptop of about the same vintage as the Presario 2100 and it did improve the boot time and general performance significantly, but talk about the proverbial earrings on a pig! 
    This is a 64 gig PATA SSD which would be perfect for the Presario 2100 but is $90:

  • Compaq Presario CQ56 219-wm CPU compatible upgrade

    Hi I am a performance pc enthusast and I wanna upgrade the stock cpu celeron single core 900 cpu of my Compaq Presario CQ56 219-wm laptop.  
    Can u tell me what following  cpu will work with your current F.15 bios? 
    Intel Core Duo Mobile T9300
    Intel Core Duo Mobile T9500
    If not those what would be the highest cpu supported?
    Thanks

    Pretty sure the GL40 chipset is used only for Celeron/Pentium Dual processors. Notice that no Core2Duo was offered on the CQ56-200 Intel line. Just Celeron and the T4500. The GL40 was a special chipset for "value-oriented applications".
    Service Manual
    This is anecdotal but you have some folks who claim to have successfully installed Core2Duo processors on GL40 laptop motherboards, including at least one HP. However, note the "official" compatibility list and take other claims with a grain of salt:

    In other words, it might work even likely will work but it is a gamble.

  • Compaq Presario v6346ea: Which type of SATA controller?

    I've recently bought an Intel X25-M/G2 Solid State Drive and was expecting read speeds of 200 MB/s on my Compaq Presario v6346ea notebook. Instead of that the maximum speed I get from CrystalDiskMark is 135 MB/s.
    Now I'm suspecting the SATA controller of my notebook to not being able to handle the speeds of this Solid State Drive.
    I've looked on HP's website to find out which type of SATA controller is used in my Compaq Presario v6346ea but can't find find any clear info on that subject.
    From what I read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA there are 3 types:
    SATA Revision 1.0 (SATA 1.5Gb/s, max 150 MB/s throughput minus overhead.)
    SATA Revision 2.0 (SATA 3Gb/s, max 300 MB/s minus overhead.)
    SATA Revision 3.0 (SATA 6Gb/s, max 600 MB/s and up minus overhead)
    Does anybody know which type of SATA controller is used in this Compaq Presario v6346ea notebook?

    Thank you for the additional info. I ran SISoft Snadra and found some interesting stuff. For instance, it IDed the chipset as a mcp78s not a mcp77. It also indicates that it can use DDR3 memory. I'm not sure if that's accurate, as it conflicts with specs I've read elsewhere. If true, I wish I'd known that when I upgraded my RAM to 8GB. :-p Anyway, I've tried to determine the SATA revision, but I'm not sure if I'm going about it the right way. I went to "Storage Devices" and clicked the only available button: "Physical Disks , Storage adapters and devices". From there I can choose my internal hard drive from a menu, and it shows the maximum SATA mode as G2 / SATA300. But I'm not sure if this is in reference to the controller or the drive. I know that the drive is a SATA-II, so it would show that if it's displaying the drive's capabilities. It certainly tells me everything else I'd ever want to know about the drive. When I switch to my external USB HDD, it shows the maximum SATA as G3 / SATA600. For the DVD drive it shows G1 / SATA150. So I kind of think it's showing me the maximum capabilities of the drives, not the controllers.  Is there some other way to check the maximum SATA capabilities of the hard drive controller? Sorry. I'm not too familiar with SISoft Sandra, and it's not really obvious to me. And given what it's turned up about the chipset and the memory support, I want to be sure here. Thanks.

    The best thing to do is run HP Update if it is on your computer.  I would normal tell you to run Windows Upate, also.  However, Microsoft is no longer supporting Win XP.  Also, you can go through the drivers in the Software & Drivers section and install any that have a later date than the release date of the computer (13-Aug-2006).  Make certain that they match the hardware in your system before installing them.
