Tecra A4 recognize only 512MB of memory

I added 512MB DDR RAM, in addition to the original 512MB, but the laptop doesn't recognise the full 1GB, only 512MB. Both modules work - new is recommended module from Crucial.
Any ideas?

Hi
I know this sounds strange but it seems both modules are not compatible together!
The Tecra A4 can be definitely upgraded up to 2GB (2x 1024MB) memory.
I find out that Toshiba recommends using these modules:
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-2M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-2M1G)
I found also this website which provides compatible and supported modules for a Tecra A4
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=11719&ft=m&st=3
It seems you can use a 200-Pin PC2700 (333Mhz) DDR SODIMM modules and I would really recommend using the same modules i.e from the same vendor.

My Macbook 4,1 came with 1 GB of memory. Only 512MB shows up in the activity monitor. I just upgraded the memory to 4 GB. Although 2GB shows up in DIMM0 and DIMM1 it still only says I have 512MB of memory. Can someone help?

So when you go to  > About This Mac - How it should say how much ram there. Click on More Info - And click on Memory - What is in those fields?

Server recognizes only half of RAM

Greetings, we have 8 HP servers Proliant DL 380 G5 with Bios p56 2011.02.05 version (the latest one, as I understand). Now, all servers have 4 1-GB FBDIMMS, which work fine.
Recently we decided to upgrade and purchased memory KTH-XW667LP/8G (according to manufacturer, it is equivalent of 466440-B21 HP/COMPAQ and is fully compatible with this model). I installed two 8GB FBDIMMS in one of the servers, but he sees only half of memory. Instead of 16 Gb it recognizes only 8Gb.
Now, I tried several vaiants:
1. All 4 1-Gb FBDimms (the old one) are placed in banks 1A and 3A, 2C and 4C. The 8Gb FBDIMMS are placed in banks 5B and 7B (according to the guide, this should be fine). The server shows 12 Gb (in BIOS and in RHEL). I.e. it recognizes fully the old memory, but not the new one.
2. The old memory is completely removed for experimental purposes. The 8Gb FBDIMMS are placed in banks 1A and 3 A. The server shows 8 Gb only.
Now, I tried it on three servers with various 8GB FBDIMMS (we bought 10 packs) to make sure, that this is not caused by server damage or memory damage. Nothing helps, the result is the same. I guess, the problem is not in servers and not in memory. There are no BIOS updates that I can install (we have the most recent version). So, what could cause this problem? Maybe I need to switch something inside the server in order to recognize memory? Maybe this is a memory redundancy mechanizm, that can be turned off or what?
This question was solved.

Hi:
I don't have an answer for you, but I don't see that you posted your question on the HP Business Support Forum - Servers section.
I recommend you copy and paste your issue on a new post there.

Lenovo W500 8Gb RAM recognize only 4G

Hi
I have a Lenovo W500 type: 4061-2ZG running a 64 bit Windows 7OS on it. I have 2X4G ram memory from Kingston “KTL-TP1066/4G”. The problem is my machine recognizes only 4G instead of 8G that I have installed.
Thankful for any help!
Regards
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One quick test I did on my W700 (I have 2-2GB sticks)
Remove one stick - see if the system sees it
If yes, then put that stick in the other slot, see if the system sees it. If yes then all is OK if no then the slot where you cannot see the memory is bad.

Qosmio X300-14N - Vista 64bit recognize only 1789MB of RAM

Hello,
I need some help with my Qosmio x300-14N.
I'm using a vista 64 bit system and the OS only see 1789MB of ram.
I have 2x2gb memory module.
Please give me a solution!

Hi
How did you check this in Vista?
How much RAM is recognized in BIOS?
The notebook was equipped with 2 x 2GB RAM and therefore the hardware should be 4GB RAM capable.
The software (Vista 64bit) should recognize the full memory since 64bit OS has no 32bit limitation which would recognize only 3.2GB
In my opinion there could be something wrong with one of the RAM module this would explain why only one memory module has been recognized.

CS6 - Will I notice a difference in speed/performance with only 512MB video RAM?

With regard to PS CS6: I'm specifically interested in CS6's ability to utilize video memory to make PS faster, more powerful; but will I notice a difference in speed/performance with only 512MB video RAM?
Currently running PS CS5 on an iMac (Duo-Core, 8GB RAM, 512MB Video RAM).
Was hoping Apple was going to release new Mac Pro (been saving dough for a few years now). Since that didn't happen, sticking with current Mac setup for at least another year, and this includes a video card that only has 512MB memory.
Is it worth it for me to upgrade to CS6 with regard to speed/performace?
Any input would be appreciated.

You need at least 1Gb video memory to make use of the new GPU accelerated features in CS6

IMac recognizes only 256 MB of available 512 MB and freezes

This problem is driving me crazy, I simply can not see any reason for it:
After installing user slot 512 MB memory, my iMac recognizes only 256 MB right (PC133-333), runs for the first time, but after shutdown, it beeps three times and won't start any more.
I have installed in the meantime four different kinds of memory, all of them of the genuine Mac-reseller - so I guess the memory must be OK. Some of them wont work at all, some were shown only as 256 MB (the half).
Couple of weeks before I've installed 512 MB (also 100% garanted iMac-compatible) factory slot memory and this works fine.
Now:
Have I messed up some things by installing the factory slot memory?
What these three beeps mean?
How can it be that iMac recognizes the half memory? If the memory is not right, none should be recognized.
Why did it start for the first time, worked fine, but after the shutdown wont start? Any explanation?
Thanks in advance!

i think you posted to the wrong forum, if your imac info is right, about the kind of imac you are using, then you are asking in the wrong area...
; ^]
if you are having a lot of issues with memory modules, have you been able to run any of the common utilites on them to verify their status?
do you have any OEM ram, that came with the machine when you bought it?
does the same problem happen with that ram? if true, then you may need to have the machine looked at in a shop.
if your machine is ok with the OEM ram, then find a different reseller. also, i hope there wasn't any static discharge when you went throught the ram installation process.
where, exactly are you getting the data from, about the ram module capacities?
the about box? or system profiler?
and you are positive about the ram specs for your machine vs. the ram you are trying to use?
what is the age of your machine? have there been any other user modifications?
any additional periferals?

MS-6528LE Can only take one memory module at a time

The paticular board I am posting about can only take one memory chip at a time i.e. I install one memory chip it's 133MHZ chip 128MB boot up my machine goes to windows just fine.
I am using windows xp btw.
Ok when I install a 2nd 128MB PC 133 chip I get the blue screen right before I get into windows and it gives some really weird error.
I take the second chip out leave one chip in and it works just fine I am at a loss of this one.
I tried updating the bios didn't work could use some assistance here by email or a nice reply.

Thats the problem. My powersupply maxes out at 300W and goes no higher than that. It seems it needs more power.
I will get a powersupply that is more suitable for this motherboard and post again with the results I get. Thanks for your help I can say that this company has been more helpful than others.
Once again thanks.

Michel PM and CRP 101, thanks for your replies.
My machine was purchased in 2007, I think. It's model iMac8.1 with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor and CPU speed is 1.07 GHz.
What I am asking has to do more with the OS X opsys version than the size of the memory. My question is prompted by my son suggesting that I should upgrade and purchase MS Office and substitute for the factory-provided OpenOffice.org application.
Thanks!

Why is 8gb only showing total memory of less than 6.5?

why is 8gb only showing total memory of less than 6.5?

Because the difference is due to the operating system taking up most of the diference and the other is how GB is advertised and actually used.

Why has the Tecra M11-11M only got the 32-bit version of Windows 7?

Why has the Tecra M11-11M only got the 32-bit version of windows 7 and not the 64-bit?
Surely the i7 and 4gb can cope with the demands and the 64-bit version would allow more efficient use of the computing power.
Many thanks,

Good question but Im afraid only Toshiba marketing division has right answer to your question.
I just presume they create own decision based on market research.
You can try to install own 64bit version if the drivers, tools and utilities are available.
