Can my HP Pavilion g6-1185sa with 4GB RAM be upgraded to a greater amount of RAM? If so what is the maximum and what type should I use?
Thank you

Hi,
It is generally best to upgrade using matching modules, but if you wish, you should be able to just install another 4Gb module - you can use an application such as CPU-Z to find the specs of your existing module ( the relevant details can be found under the Memory and Spd tabs ) or an automated System Scanner.

Memory upgrade on HP Pavilion g6 series

Can my HP Pavilion g6-1186sa with 4GB RAM be upgraded to a greater amount of RAM? If so what is the maximum and what type should I use?
Thanks.

Hi:
According to the product specs it appears your notebook comes with one 4 GB DDR3 memory module.
The specs also indicate it can be upgraded with another 4 GB memory module for a total of 8 GB.
So you need to purchase one 4 GB PC3-10600 memory module for your PC.
Something like this should work just fine.

What memory modules can we use for RAM upgrade of HP Pavilion dv5-1198de??
Max RAM? Vista? Windows 7?

I can't find a dv5-1198de but I did find a dv5-1198er which should be similiar. It states up to 8 gb of ram. HERE
I would try www.Crucial.com for suggested memory ,you can use their Scanner Tool to let it detect what you have and what you can upgrade/replace with.

HP Pavilion Dm1 Memory upgrade: pc3-10600 versus pc3-8500

Hi,
After researching HP and other various sites, I recently upgraded my HP Pavilion DM1 from 3GB to 4GB RAM using 2 x 2GB PC3-10600 modules. The information I found seemed to indicate that the HP Pavilion would fully support 1333Mhz memory and I thought I could give my Netbook a little performance boost. Note: the price was the same for both the 1066 and 1333 memory modules.
My system is working OK, but I have a number of quick questions:
Although I have installed 1333 Mhz memory, it is been reported as 1066 Mhz via HP tools. Is this the maximum memory speed the Netbook supports and will utilising 1333 Mhz cause performance bottlenecks and long term damage to my system? Can I configure the system via BIOS to utilise the memory at 1333 Mhz?
As I use Windows Home Premium I understand there is a 3.5GB access limit (this is why I only upgraded the system to 4GB). Will the extra 500MB not utilised by Windows be utilised as video memory as I originally hoped or will it come out of the 3.5GB? i.e. in other words, is my 4GB upgrade in reality 3.5GB?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Kind regards,
Alex

Hi, Alex:
I don't know what exact model dm1 you have, but normally the memory runs at the max speed of the Processor's FSB in the case of Intel processors.
I am not quite sure on how AMD's processors work with regard to memory speed. Something about multipliers.
Did you consult the service manual? Chapter 1 usually provides the processor and memory specs.
No damage will occur to your system if the memory speed is only 1066 MHz.
Nothing can be done to change the speed at which the memory runs (unless there is a BIOS update that addresses an issue--read any BIOS release notes for such a possibility, which I doubt there is).
You can check how your memory is being used in two places:
1. The Resource Monitor (in your system tools menu). In the memory section it will show system reserved, free, etc.
2. The Windows Experience Index's detailed report (Control Panel>system and security>WEI
You can see your video adapter's total memory, shared memory and dedicated memory.
Best regards,
Paul

Memory Upgrade on DV7T-3000 (NQ339AV)

Hello,
I have a Pavilion DV7T-3000 with i7-820QM Processor. I am planning on a memory upgrade. Has any one tried upgrading it to 16GB RAM ? (2 x 8GB). As per specs it can only go up to 2x4 GB.
Thank you for for any feed back.

I believe you should try to PM a level 8 or higher expert here and see if they will access someone from HP.

I want to upgrade my hp pavilion dv4000 having p/n EW874EA#ABV

i want to upgrade my hp pavilion dv4000 having p/n EW874EA#ABV

Your options are extremely limited. Here is a list of the range of specs.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00642641&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
The big issue is the single core Pentium M (aka Centrino) processor, the max of 2 gigs of memory and the Intel GMA900 video which is not capable of Aero desktop effects.
This laptop was not capable of handling Windows Vista, let alone 7, 8, 8.1 and soon, Windows 10. There is just no amount of money you can put into it to make it useable in today's computing environment.
Sorry to have to carry bad news. Any new laptop, even one at the very bottom price point, will blow the dv4000 away.

Memory upgrade on iMac G3 700, help with system crashes

I tried to do a memory upgrade on my iMac, so I bought two kingston 256 MB PC133 modules, but none will work, the system starts, but hangs in about two minutes after loading the desktop. I went back to use the older memory module wich is an spectek, but I need the upgrade, any ideas?
Thanks!
FedericoMG.
Ps: Sorry about my english... I'm from Argentina... :-P

Hi Federicomg
The iMac 700 G3 should have been supplied with 1 stick of 256mb ram. However which is the correct type i am not sure as the Apple specifications for this model state PC100 whereas my iMac G3 700 graphite was supplied with 256 MB PC133-333 SDRAM
http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacSummer2001.html
Apple profiler from my iMac this is the original supplied RAM from Apple:-
DIMM0/J13: Size: 256 MB
Type: SDRAM
Speed: PC133-333
1) I would re-instal the original ram and open system profiler to see what type the ram is.
2) Keeping the original stick in place add another stick of the new ram and look again in profiler to see if its recognised and again try the second stick to see if there's a problem with one of the sticks.
I am currently running my iMac with a small upgrade of RAM and the additional RAM is 128MB of PC100 and i have noticed the performance improvement since adding the PC100 so it's working and i have suffered no ill effects doing this..

MS-6195 memory upgrade

Hi,
My system is based on Ms-6195 K7 pro and Athlon 700 mhz. 192 Mb Ram (128Mb module + 64Mb module)
Problem:
when I try to upgrade memory with a sdram 256Mb PC100 module, the memory test can't finish and my system don't boot.
Please can you tell me how configure coreectly the BIOS or tell how to do.

MS-6195 memory upgrade.
I have also tried using new PC100 256Mb memory and am getting nowhere.
The ones that I have bought are single sided, [8 chips on only one side]
and do not work with my motherboard, however, if I put them into another,
older PC, it shows up as 128Mb.
So I assume that the DIMM is working OK, and that the 'old' PC has a memory size limitation??
I have tried the same things as wbs and Grommit and got the same results.
So I assume that the answer is in getting older DIMMs, double sided with 8 chips on either side.
Does this seem to be about right???

Memory upgrade fail - Kernel panic after put old memories back

I People, this is my first post here and unfortunately is to report a problem, not to help friends.
I did an memory upgrade last weekend. After this, he will not boot normally, only in safe mode.
I discovered that they sent me 1333Mhz memories, and my mac (mid 2009) supports only 1066Mhz.
I put the old memories again, however I believe that the system did not recognize.
As you can see below, the system recognizes two modules:
Memory Module: BANK 0/DIMM0, 4 GB, DDR3, 1067 MHz, 0x80CE, 0x4D34373142353237334448302D4348392020
Memory Module: BANK 1/DIMM0, 4 GB, DDR3, 1067 MHz, 0x80CE, 0x4D34373142353637334648302D4346382020
It is not true, I' using now 2 x 2GB, DDR3, 1067 Mhz (stock)
I tried to reinstall the system, but when I try, I got crash again.
how can I solve this issue?

Hi BGreg,
I already reset the PRAM as you said.
I've cleaned the memory modules as indicated by Linc above.
Today I formatted my harddrive to try a clean install, but system crashs after 5%, 10%.
There is something making me worried:
In one of my tries, I opened the system view to check my actual hardware configuration, and to my surprise, the system shows me 8GB installed. Cannot be. I have 2 x 2GB.
Where my system stores this information? There is a way to reset it? I tried last hour install the snow leopard, that cames with my mac, by DVD, but does not worked too.
Thank you all so far.

Memory upgrade

Hi,
Can I install 2 x Crucial 4GB DDR3 - 1333 SODIMM 1.35V 204 PIN - CT51264BF1339J on a Macbook Pro 13 inch late 2011?
Currently, I have 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) and I want to upgrade to 8 GB. There is a controversial info regarding this particular memory module, some people say it is not compatible.
When I look to the specs I find:
204 PIN form factor = OK
1,35 V = OK
DDR3 = OK
1333 = OK
SODIMM = OK
Max 8GB = OK (2 x 4GB)
Latency= 9 cicles (same that stock modules supplied with the laptop) OK
The thing is Crucial, sell an identical specs module that costs quite more. They claim it to be compatible with Mac. The also sell this one I mentioned as being not compatible. The funny thing is that specs for both are identical. I only find a difference on the pricing. So I am really confused.
Do they one to sell me a more expensive one like being specific for Mac or there is a hiden specification that makes the two modules to differ from each other?
Can somebody confirm this info to me, please?
Many thanks in advance
Best Regards

News on this subject:
A Crucial support representative replied saying:
"Mac compatible memory is guaranteed to work in your specific system. There may be subtle differences in non specific memory that will cause it not to work for you such as chip solution and the configurations of chips..."
Well, I find it very ambiguous technically speaking. If they sell good quality memory as they claim, I do not see which subtle differences will affect the functionality. The chip configuration is standard and chip solution is about quality. So Crucial should be all right as everyone claims (even if manufactured in China)
So I went a head and both 2 x CT51264BF1339J for a very reasonable Belgian price and installed it into my system just two minutes ago. I am writing this using the mentioned system.
I was on Google after 30 seconds of taping the On button. Although it did not changed a lot as this startup timing is more related to the Hybrid 750GB HDD (SSD + Conventional Drive) I upgraded few months ago.
I upgraded the memory to run Virtual Box and Parallel desktop more easily though it worked quite good with 4GB. I did not upgraded to 16GB because it is not necessary on my usage. Only one virtual machine at once + E-mail + Browser + some PDF opened. Some technical stuff and nothing like Photoshop or similar. Thus the huge money difference would have gone for nothing if I buy the specific Mac modules of 8GB each as "Crucial Memory Upgrade Tool" subjected me.

Memory upgrade not working

I ordered 8GB memory for my imac mid-2011 model.
I then tried to install and all I'm getting is three beeps telling me there's something wrong with my memory.
I've tried all configurations but can't get the 2x4gb modules to work.
I've had to stay with only the original 2x2gb ones it came with.
Can anyone please help.
The only difference, besides the size, between the two modules is that on the 4gb ones is says PC3-10600S-9-10-F2 and the 2gb ones say all the same except instead of F2 at the end it's F1.
Cheers.

Which would seem to suggest that you may (unusually) have a doubtful memory module. Less unusually, you would have paid over the top for it.
Many people on these forums speak well of the following suppliers.
In North America contact OWC … Upgrade Apple iMac Memory
In Europe contact Crucial.com … RAM Memory Upgrade
Both companies have facilities to guide you and will recommend the correct memory package to meet whatever needs you describe to them.
There may be benefits buying from your own geographical location insofar as Shipping charges, Local sales taxes and Exchange rates. Check out the basic memory costs and do your sums next time you buy.

Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro L40-15d

Hi
I have Satellite Pro L40-15d with 512 memory (Samsung) but I wont upgrade to 1GB. I have Kingston ktt667d2/1g I have tray to put in to both slots but nothing work I cant switch on computer.
But when I change for old one laptop is ok. What can I do? Install special program or update BIOS or maybe the memory stick is broken.
Regards

Hi
The notebook doesnt boot after the memory upgrade due to these different issues;
- memory modules are not compatible together
- memory modules are not compatible with the notebook
- memory modules are faulty
- one of memory slots is faulty
In most case the memory module replacement helps.
One hint; did you try to switch the memory modules in the slots? Sometimes this helps.
Several weeks ago I have updated my memory and the notebook didnt boot.
I thought its a memory malfunction but after module switching the notebook booted correctly.
Good luck

Memory upgrade on Satellite A50-104

I NEED TO FIND A 512MB MEMORY UPGRADE FOR MY A50/104 ANYONE NO THE CORRECT ONE TO BUY, I WAS TOLD ON EBAY THAT 512 DDR SODIMM IS THIS RIGHT. ALSO HOW DO I CHECK ON MY LAPTOP FOR THESE DETAILS IF THERE ARE ANY AND ANY OTHER SPEC BATTERY ,HARDDRIVE ETC

Hi
You have several ways to find out what memory module is compatible and supported.
You can use a diagnostic too like Everest, you will check the user manual or the Toshiba website for details or you will contact the service in your country for supported modules.
I will try to answer the question: The Satellite A50 should support PC2700 DDR-RAM like these parts:
PC2700 256MB (PA3311U-1M25)
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
Now its your choice. You can also google for the offers
By the way: Visit the Toshiba Options & accessories site. There you will find compatible parts
