Hi traveler!
I am quite happy with my Mushkin CL2 Blue memory. According to the Mushkin website they actually ran compatibility tests with a K7N2 Delta2. I have not had one problem caused by the memory!

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 A40

Can anyone please advise where is the best place I can get a memory upgrade for my Satellite Pro A40 laptop.
I think my machine is a PC2700 DDR. I am looking for either 512mb or 1gb.
Thanks in advance.
Christine

Hi
On the Satellite Pro A40 you will find 2 memory slots and you can upgrade the memory to max 2GB (2x1024MB)
It should be possible to use these modules:
PC2100 512MB (PA3164U-1M51)
PC2100 1GB (PA3278U-1M1G)
And
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G
I purchase the compatible parts and devices always form the Toshiba service partner in my country because so I'm 100% sure that this parts are compatible.
So I would recommend you also to buy the modules form the ASP in your country.

Memory upgrade on Portege 4000

I bought memory to upgrade my Portege 4000 (128mb SDRAM SODIMM 144pin) when I installed this in the empty slot and turned on laptop the green light at the top came on, the power led but nothing booted and no noise to suggest anything had booted either!
I took this new module out and left the original in there and it booted perfectly. Does anyone know what the problem is?
Please help!
Thanks in advance !

Its a clear case dude either the memory module is faulty or you use a not compatible and not supported one!!!!
The Portege 4000 supports max 1024MB (2x512MB) memory.
I think you should try the Toshiba recommended memory SDRAM modules like these:
PC133 512MB (PA3108U-1M51)
PC133 256MB (PA3086U-1M25)
PC133 128MB (PA3085U-1M12)
Good luck

Memory upgrade on NB300-108

Looking to upgrade Ram memory to 2gb on my NB300-108
Have looked at Toshiba website and the cost but there appear to be a plethora of alternative websites with compatible memory upgrades when I put in the part number.
Would welcome any experiences of the forum regarding alternatives etc
Thank you

According notebook specification you can upgrade your NB to 2GB. I recommend you to use high quality module offered by Kingston. All info about it you can find here .
I have NB520 so I cannot tell you more about NB300.

Memory upgrade on the NB550D-11D - 4GB RAM are possible

To anyone who's thinking about a memory upgrade on the NB550D:
The NB550D supports up to 4GB of memory, not only 2GB as mentioned by Toshiba in their specifications.
A memory upgrade to 2GB is _only limited_ by the pre-installed Windows 7 Starter OS, not by the netbook itself.
I'm using Linux Mint 11 Katya, 64bit and my system is running perfectly well with a 4GB ram module. If you want to use full 4 GB ram support, get rid of the Win 7 Starter OS.
The specification for higher volume ram is DDR3 1333MHz PC3-10600 SO-Dimm. I've chosen one 4GB module by Corsair, due to the 30 years warranty Corsair offers.
It took me quite a while to find this out, hope this is going to be a help to everybody who's just as unsecure as I was how to upgrade the NB550D memory. Good luck. ;o)

> A memory upgrade to 2GB is only limited by the pre-installed Windows 7 Starter OS, not by the netbook itself.
I can confirm this. Two days ago Ive installed own Win7 32bit Home Premium and upgraded my NB520 with 4GB RAM. 3GB are in usage now and notebook runs perfectly.
With original Win7 Starter version I have noticed annoying display behaviour while watching action movies. When the scene in the movie was without movement everything was ok but by action scenes some strange lines were shown on the screen.
Now after own OS installation everything works perfectly and Im so happy with my NB520.
I can just recommend it for everyday usage.
By the way: I use 4GB SO-DIMM DDR3-1333Mhz PC3-10600

Question about memory upgrade on Satellite L20-181

Hi, there
The minimum recommended memory for Windwows XP is 256 Mb and I do not understand how the company could get away selling notebook with 256 MB with built-in graphic adapter sharing the system memory.
Anyway, I want to upgrade my Toshiba and my intention is to buy additional 512 Mb memory, such as http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=20049&ft=m&st=3
Will it work properly with 768 Mb or shall I buy only the same pairs : 256+ 256, 512+ 512?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
You can easily change your RAM modules without invalidating your warranty. You should find the procedure well documented in your user manual (or you can download a copy of the user manual from the Toshiba web site).
The RAM modules are usually located underneath a small flap at the bottom of the notebook, and are held in place with a small clip on each side. Just release the clips and the RAM module should spring up allowing you to carefully remove it. Note that it will only fit in one way (there is a small cut-out on the bottom which aligns with a peg).
Be very careful to discharge any static electricity by earthing yourself before you touch the RAM modules, they can be easily damaged by a static discharge.
regards,

Memory upgrade on a early 2008 iMac

Hi, I have a early 2008 24" iMac with 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
I have read conflicting information here vs. Apple support site and would just like some advise and possibly answers from someone who has my computer that has done a succesful upgrade. I would obviously like to upgrade as high as I can. Apple says the Max I can have is 4 GB, but I have read that the real size is 6 GB. Which is it?
Also, does anyone know of a specifc Ram that wont break the bank but is still good?
Thanks!

Question about memory upgrade in a Equium A100-027

Hi there,
I have an Equium A100-027 notebook with 2 x 512 MB RAM installed. I'd like to add extra memory.
I have used Crucial's (www.crucial.com) website to scan my system and recommend memory modules. According to Crucial the A100-027 will support 2 x 2 GB modules giving 4 GB in total.
However a quick search using Google suggest I can only install 2 x 1 GB (2 GB in total) modules.
Can anyone clarify please.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen

No, guys. The machine can be upgraded up to 4GB since the chipset is able to handle 4 Gigs of RAM.
That means you will have to place 2 x 2GB in the slots of the machine and you will have your upgaded system. :)
One of my machines is a A100 (European - but it doesnt matter which country, chipset is worldwide the same) and Ive upgraded it to 4 Gig with kingston RAM.
Hope I could help...
Cheers

Satellite A100 shuts down after memory upgrade

Consider me as 1 of the thickie bunch.. Not even sure wot im talkin bout but here goes n e way...........
Have a Satellite A100 570 ( PSAA2E)..........
Have tried several different online sites lookin for memory upgrade. Didn't have the witt to use toshiba site...... Ended up going with Crucial.........
Ran diagnostic on laptop and was sent the module a needed.or so i thought....... wrong 1 or 1s as i bought 2 x 1G modules in order to " double up".....
Got my money back as they were not compatable with my system.. something to do with density problems....
Tried company called OFFTEK........ they seemed to know what they were talkin about....... I have from Offtek. at present a..........
200 Pin 1.8v DDR2 PC2-4200 SoDimm....... but Toshiba have recommended below......
1GB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory (533MHz)
Part Number: PA3411U-2M1G
1024MB (1GB) Memory PC2-4300 DDR2 (533MHz)
Theres an obvious difference ...... 4200 and 4300. But im not sure if its a significant difference........... or what it means
Have updated bios to most recent version and basically updated everything toshiba had to offer for this model...........
Ran EVEREST and it recognises the 1G module but when i take out the original 512mb module the laptop starts for about 3 seconds then shuts down...
this repeats about 5 times then complete shutdown.....
I dont like opening the back cover too often but this is the 3rd module ....
Not sure whats meant to happen if the module is working...i.e start up message..not sure if windows recognises 1G module....
Would it be safer bet to send Offtek module and stick with toshiba option.....
Thanks in advance.....

Cheers R2........ suppose at this stage i could start rhyming off a load of star wars lines but uve probably hears them all before.......
N e way......... checked out the link u posted..........very useful......
The module described is identical to what i have.............As with previous reply ( above ) im not sure what to do.........might take up Offteks offer of replacing the module but slightly concerned it might have same outcome......Still not happy bout opening the cover so much........nut needs must i suppose

Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

Which model of memory upgrade should I get for my MacBook Pro early 2011 model? I now have 2 - 2GB modules.

Installing RAM in a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro
There is really only one way to install RAM into a 2011-2012 MacBook Pro and while there are hundreds of DIY videos online, I just like this one, found on YouTube, by “macmixing”.
Note that there is a difference in the RAM that should be used in 2011 and 2012 models.
2011 models must use:
•204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
And 2012 models must use:
•204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
So here's the video:
Remember that the 13", 15" and 17" 2011 models (early or late) and the 13" and 15" mid-2012 non-Retina models can handle 4GB, 8GB or (unofficially, but, believe me, it works) 16GB of RAM. There are, in my opinion, only two 100% Mac-compatible vendors out there: Crucial and OWC. I really can't recommend any other brands, even though it may work, as these are the only brands that I've personally used in quite a while. Also remember to stay away from any RAM that is a “value” brand - Macs are picky about RAM and often these value RAM modules just don’t work very well.
Good luck,
Clinton

K8N diamond - memory upgrade advice?

Hi all,
I would like to ask local experts for quick advise on memory upgrade. Originally I though that this is easy task but via reading some of discussions here it doesn't seems so easy anymore....
What I have:
Board: K8N Diamond
BIOS version: 1.A0
CPU Type: Athlon 3700+ San Diego
Memory: 2x KVR400X64C25/512 Kingston (DDR400 512Mb CL2.5)
Operating System: XP (32)
What help do i need:
I would like to upgrade now memory either to 2 (or 3 Gb) At the same moment I would like to keep dual channel setup on 400Mhz. Which of folowing options you recommend ?
1. adding 2x KVR400X64C25/512
2. adding 2x ddr 400 CL 2.5 1gb module (e.g. KHX3200/1G)
(3. adding 2x 1gb and taking out 512MB but my strongly preferred option is not to sell current 512mg modules and replace them with 1gb .. loosing money on it...)
a) are these options possible/feasible at all? will both work as dual channel?
b) will system exploit dual channel on 400Mhz frequency in all options? My understanding from some discussions is that with all 4 banks full frequency goes down to 333 -> 1) can I boost it with my CPU/board to 400MHz (sustainably?) 2) if not can someone tell me +- what is performance difference 400Mhz vs 333Mhz?
I hope question is clear....
Thanks upfront, I know that this is discussed topic here but as IT amateur I would preffer to get answer customized to my computer:)
Paul

Hello, option 3 for me 2 gigs is more than enough but for the most demanding programs, and your going to spend money anyway you do it.
yes you can force 4 banks to ddr400 but at 2t command rate,window 32bit will only see and use 3gig or so
anytime you upgrade you loose money sell the 2x512 and recover some money, and if you OC two sticks will go much further than four
Good luck Henry9

Satellite A665-S6050 Windows 7 Home Premium Memory Upgrade will not boot

Hope there might be a clue to assist.
Checked Toshiba support for recommended memory to upgrade from 2X2GB to 2X4GB. Ordered Kingston KTT-S3BS/4G x 2 as recommended. BIOS recognizes the memory, but Windows will not boot. Tried Safe Mode and hangs after a few seconds. Tried Repair Computer, also hangs after a few seconds. Put original memory back in and it boots fine. There was a brief flash of a blue screen once, but no dump file to be found.
To me it seems as ifthe issue is Windows, but I do not know enough about this to say definitively. Just based on the percieved behavior when Windows trys to boot (hanging).
Any ideas appreciated before I go through return and try something else.
Thanks.
Toshiba Satellite A665-S6050
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

he ordered from Toshiba and there memory did not work ... the kit he ordered was the one recommended for his laptop from Toshiba and ordered from Toshiba
Yes he did. But he ordered the Kingston memory that Toshiba recommended as he said...
Checked Toshiba support for recommended memory to upgrade from 2X2GB to 2X4GB. Ordered Kingston KTT-S3BS/4G x 2 as recommended. ... I tried both of the Kingston modules recommended and neither worked.
I'm suggesting that he try the Toshiba part number (PA3677U-1M4G) suggested in the spec, which is made by Axiom.

Report on memory upgrade

A couple of months back, I posted several questions regarding memory upgrade for my Mini 1.5 Core solo. I thought I would take a couple of minutes and report on the results.
With memory prices dropping like they have, I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to 2G. Wow! This is now the computer I thought I bought. I run Mail, Firefox, Excel [PPC], Word [PPC] and Quicken [PPC] - plus Norton AV [PPC] - regularly, and Google Earth, iTunes, iPhoto occasionally. Plus an HP printer [PPC driver]. My Page Outs were running 30-40% of Page Ins for my typical use. I waited for program swapping as well as function swapping within a program.
I now wait for virtually nothing! Page Outs are barely above 0%. Programs load faster, though actual processing appears just about the same [as expected].
I purchased Micron memory from Crucial, as I knew it would be "right". It is now selling for $132/2x1G, free shipping, plus tax in many states. In order to insure no problems with validity of my AppleCare Warr, I had it installed by my local [non-Apple] Authorized Service Center for $45. I justified 2G versus 1G by looking at 2x512M costing me about $113 [installed] to double the memory versus 2G costing me about $177 to quadruple the memory.
As I watch Activity Monitor, it is likely that 1G would have accomplished most of the improvement that I see, but I am NOT sorry I went to 2G now when memory is cheap.
Thanks to all who gave me their advice when I first posted.
MacMini 1.5 Intel Core Solo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I just got the 2 GB Upgrade Kit from Crucial for $120 /w free shipping. Came to about $130 after tax.
I purchased a 1.83 Mac Mini with 512 MB of ram and an 80 GB hard drive 3 months ago. I decided it was the best solution for a recent computer failure. Although quite fast especially for CPU intensive tasks the system would hang on particular tasks.
1) Parallels was virtually unusable (even more so if I had anything else running)
2) iTunes had problems displaying all of my album covers in the jukebox mode
3) Protoshop / Painter slow to load
4) Widgets were slow to load
Having the correct tools for the job, installation of the 2 GB kit was rather simple. I didn’t seat the top SO DIMM correctly the first time around but I was smart to test the system before closing the case.
Improvement was noticed almost immediately.
1) Boot times increased
2) The infrequent Beach Balls disappeared
3) Parallels is not only usable it’s like having a 2nd computer
4) iTunes has no hang ups
5) Photoshop and painter can handle large images with many layers without slowing down. (Large brushes in painter kill the system, but that’s CPU related)
6) Widgets launch faster but not as quick as I would have expected
Over all the upgrade was completely worth it. It is like a whole new computer. Bottom line 512 MB is the bare minimum for OS X 10.4 assuming you do nothing more then Brows the internet, Chat on line or use it as a media device.
I have a hard time justifying the upgrade through Apple’s site. It’s not worth the $120 premium when instillation should be simple for even an above average computer user. Either way I couldn’t recommend any one use a mini with 10.4 with anything less then 1 GB

Memory upgrade 3550?

Ciscoworks recommends I upgrade one of the flashcards on my 3550 switches before an IOS upgrade can happen. I don't find anthing on this site regarding upgrading the flash memory on the 3550. My config shows this is onboard memory so I assume I do not have the option to upgrade. Can someone confirm this?

See below, from Ciscoworks detailed device report:
