Quick RAM question... 8GB on x100e

i know the x120 accepts more than 4GB of ram, but is there any reason a x100e will not take 8GB of ram?
ill be running win7 x64. thanks.

Hello,
It's not a Lenovo-supported configuration, but I was able to install 2×4GB DDR2 SO-DIMMs in my X100e and access most of it (I believe some of it was reserved for use by the video card).
Regards,

  • Quick ram question

    im looking at this for buying ram:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory
    i have 1 gig in my mac pro right now, 2- 512's
    I'm confused on what I should get. It seems like what I figured would be more expensive is less and vice versa.
    i can get 2 gigs of 1 gig sticks for 239.99
    i can get 2 gigs of 4 512 sticks for 314.95
    i can get 2 gigs of (different) 1 gig sticks for 229.99
    please help! what do I want?

    DIMMs have to match exactly within a pair. However, between pairs you don't have to match anything. Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong with 3GB RAM in this configuration and will be more efficient than a 6 x 512MB configuration.

  • I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.

    I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.
    From what I read, I have 2 choices: 1. to install OSX and then upgrade to Mavericks, but I'm not sure if this would be possible (to upgrade directly from OSX to Mavericks); and 2. to use a software called Super Duper.
    I wouldn't like to have to use a third party software to do this, so the question is: is there a better way to install directly the Mavericks not having to use a third party software?

    Install the new drive in the computer.
    Install the old drive in an external USB or Firewire enclosure.
    Boot the computer from the Recovery HD on the external drive.
    Use Disk Utility to partition and format the new internal drive.
    Clone your external drive to the internal drive.
    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the Recovery HD on the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the Recovery HD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
      1. Open Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
          the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
          is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the
          Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
          the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
          (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
          GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
          wait until the process has completed.
      4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
          drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
          window.
      5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
          Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
          return to the Erase window.
      6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
          hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
      1. Using Disk Utility still opened.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

  • HT4621 can the imac 27" mid 2011 take this ram "Corsair 8GB DDR31600MHz" ? will the imac under clock it to the 1333mhz ?

    can the imac 27" mid 2011 take this ram "Corsair 8GB DDR31600MHz" ? will the imac under clock it to the 1333mhz ?

    As the others have said, this is a really chancey thing to do...there have been several users on here during the past few weeks with questions about using out-of-spec ram...most had trouble with it.  Macs will sometimes accept higher spec memory, sometimes they will not.  Corsair has been getting some very good comments lately but that is from those using in-spec memory.
    Best solution is the correct memory.  And as noonday recommended, Crucial and OWC are very good and stock the correct ram.

  • VERY SPECIFIC RAM QUESTION (not answered in prior topics)

    I have a very specific RAM question. I've been pouring through the discussions and I see TONS of stuff about the proper way to upgrade RAM. I've done that before without incident, but here is my dilemma:
    I'm using the 3.0Ghz, 8-core, MP currently with 8GB of the 667Mhz RAM (8x1GB). The memory is all matched from OWC and I have had no problems.
    I just bought 16GB of new RAM from OWC (4x4GB).
    I'm going to remove all 8 of the current 1GB DIMM's, and place two of the 4GB DIMM's in slots 1 & 2 on riser A, and two of the 4GB DIMM's in slots 1 & 2 on riser B. That will give me 16GB's in matched pairs on slots 1 & 2 of both riser A and B.
    My question is this: Should I install two of my old 1GB DIMM's in slots 3/4 of riser A, and two of the old 1GB DIMM's in slots 3/4 of riser B (for a total of 20GB's)?
    I've read that having all 8 slots filled = better performance but I'm not sure the mix of 4GB DIMM's and 1GB DIMM's.
    Any Thoughts?
    Thanks So Much,
    Tom

    Optimally you want matched quads in each Riser. However, Bare Feats did some memory benchmarks that you might wish to read regarding memory performance versus different configurations. As for proper installation see the following:

    Welcome to the forum!
    Answer is yes to all questions! Look for DDR3-10600 or DDR3-12800 RAM, any 2.5" Harddrive with a maximum height of 9.5mm will fit.

  • Intel Core i5 or i7 and 4GB ram or 8GB ram for school usage and gaming Football Manager 2013

    Hi all,
    I'm considering bying the new Macbook Air 13'' but i'm confused whether to go for the Intel Core i5 og i7 processor and with 4GB ram or 8GB ram? I will use it for school stuff, web browsing and for gaming Football Manager 2013. Which one should I go for?

    i5 should be able to handle it, however as you know MBA isn't a gaming laptop. So you can't expect the best results. Will it run smoothly? Reading some of the reviews, it's not that terrible. However if you play football manager often I would upgrade to the i7. For occasional gaming, I would definitely stick with i5 because of better battery.
    Tbh, I'm not much of a gamer. But I use Final Cut Pro, photoshop, and do other type of intense tasks.
    I decided to go with the i5 for myself and spend the $150 on something else (like external drive, monitor).
    Anyways to answer your question, it depends on how often you play. If you play 24/7 the upgrade will be worth it.
    But for occasional gaming, again I would stick for better battery :)
    (But external battery can be purchased vs you won't be able to upgrade to i7.... Just a random thought..)

  • MSI Z77a-gd55 ram question

    Hello, I'm currently using the z77a-gd55 w/ my i5 3570k. I hear a lot of people running into ram upgrade problems (not from your mb in particular, but in general).
    I'm wondering how well will this board work with 4 x 4 gb sticks, because I'm currently running on 2 x 4gb stick and I get the "warning low ram please close x programs" too often, so I want to upgrade to 4 x 4gb setup.
    I think i'm currently using this ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
    But there seems to be a few other variations of that stick that looks exactly the same, but i just know for sure its 2 x 4gb G.Skill Ripjaws set.
    Will buying another of that kit work?, and is there anything I should watch out for?
    edit: also my current OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

    Corsair ram usually works fine, 8gb x 2 would be better.
    What program are you using that needs so much ram. 8GB is generally overkill as it is.
    A quick look at my resource manages shows me I am currently using 3gb.
    EDIT:
    This is what I buy for my personal computers:

  • 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.

  • 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.

    What is the problem exactly???
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • Hi all .hope all is well ..A quick trim question

    Hi all
    Hope all is well ......
    I have a quick trim question I want to remove part of a string and I am finding it difficult to achieve what I need
    I set the this.setTitle(); with this
    String TitleName = "Epod Order For:    " + dlg.ShortFileName() +"    " + "Read Only";
        dlg.ShortFileName();
        this.setTitle(TitleName);
        setFieldsEditable(false);
    [/code]
    Now I what to use a jbutton to remove the read only part of the string. This is what I have so far
    [code]
      void EditjButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        String trim = this.getTitle();
          int stn;
          if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -2)
            trim = trim.substring(stn);
        this.setTitle(trim);
    [/code]
    Please can some one show me or tell me what I need to do. I am at a lose                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

    there's several solutions:
    // 1 :
    //you do it twice because there's a space between "read" and "only"
    int stn;
    if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -1){
        trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
    if ((stn = trim.lastIndexOf(' ')) != -1){
          trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
    //2 :
    //if the string to remove is always "Read Only":
    if ((stn = trim.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf("READ ONLY")) != -1){
       trim = trim.substring(0,stn);
    //3: use StringTokenizer:
    StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(trim," ");
        String result="";
        int count=st.countTokens();
        for(int i=0;i<count-2;i++){
          result+=st.nextToken()+" ";
        trim=result.trim();//remove the last spaceyou may find other solutions too...
    perhaps solution 2 is better, because you can put it in a separate method and remove the string you want to...
    somthing like:
    public String removeEnd(String str, String toRemove){
      int n;
      String result=str;
      if ((n = str.toUpperCase().lastIndexOf(toRemove.toUpperCase())) != -1){
       result= str.substring(0,stn);
      return result;
    }i haven't tried this method , but it may work...

  • My macbook pro has service battery, what could happen if i upgrade the ram to 8gb

    My macbook pro has service battery, what could happen if i upgrade the ram to 8gb

    "Service Battery" means just that - you need to make an appointment with your local Apple Store or AASP and have the battery checked out and, likely, replaced.
    If you upgrade to 8GB it will have no effect on the battery. 8GB is sort of the minimum that I would shoot for.
