Upgrade Ram for my compaq presario cq 42-368tu laptop

Hi..i am in struggle.i nead a Ram upgrade urgently. My laptop is currently having elpida 2gb ram of 10600 pc3 1333mhz latency with 9 and i need to buy one ram of 2gb. Which comoany ram i need to buy? Did i need to buy elpida ram or can i buy fron other manufactures?please reply in detail or suggest one ram for me.help me please.

Hi:
Yes, I agree that you are in a quandary. The "official" HP specs state max of 1 GB (512 + 512).  PC2100 DDR.
The configurators and other sources state max is 2 GB PC2100 DDR (you can install PC2700 DDR, but it will only run at the PC2100 speed. PC2700 is probably cheaper.
I can only give you techical information about your 845GV chipset, which supports 2 GB of memory as most 845 chipsets do.
So, the only limiting factor would be an artificial limitation put on the PC by the BIOS. I doubt that HP would do that, and so I conclude that perhaps the "official" HP specs are incorrect.
I have a HP 6910p notebook computer. HP's official specs state the maximum memory is 4 GB (2 x 2GB). However, I knew for a fact that the Intel 965 chipset supports up to 8 GB of PC2-6400 memory.  I took a chance and bought one 4 GB chip (as they were fairly expensive at $60 each).
As I hoped, the PC took the memory and Vista 64 bit reported 6 GB of memory. So then I bought the second 4 GB chip, removed the 2 GB chip, and my PC happily hums along with 8 GB of memory.
I know those chips are relatively expensive in relation to what you are getting but I say go for it.
Do what I did. Buy one. If it works, buy the second one.
May I recommend you do some comparison shopping?
I recommend this memory and if it is cheaper then I would go with it.

Here is all the info you ever wanted to know about the 845 chipset series.

    Cable code isn't going to help what you need the the cable part number. Without this no one will be able to help you locate the cable. Also you should tells us the P/N that will insure someone can look into what the part is and also what is that cable for as there is no discription what it does or connects to.

  • X61 upgrading RAM for Win7

    Greetings,  pretty straight forward question - on X61 notebook
    I want to upgrade RAM from 2 GB to 4GB, my CPU is core 2 due T7300  @ 2GHz
    My question is; can my system take advantage of 4GB of RAM or just 3GB max, I know I can put 4GB in but will it be taken advantage by my system, I know some processors cant use more than 3GBs? 
    I want to upgrade the RAM to run Windows7 64-bit, as I currently have Vista 32bit -Do you think it will make a difference from 32 to 64? 
    Thanks a lot, 

    Hi,
    I have some good news for you. I have an X61and have put the Kingston 4Gb ram module in it, with the existing 2gb module, and under 7 ultimate x64 it recognizes all 6 Gb.
    Can't tell you the part number off hand, as it's inside the machine I am using.
    It's the generic Kingston 4Gb module, not a thinkpad specific one.

  • I need the driver mpu-401 for a compaq presario v3417la or v3000 series with windowsxp, any help?

    I bought a MIDI-USB cable to connect a keyboard and play some music. Since the driver MPU-401 (the driver that detected it) had problems with it, i uninstalled it and I can't find it anywhere to replace it. I still can't use the keyboard, and I know that that is not the problem because I tried it out in another computer with Win 7. I have a fairly old HP Compaq Presario v3417LA with Windows XP. Please I need much help with this.

    I totally understand now, thank you SOOOO VERY MUCH!!! You have been a huge help and very friendly Would you mind if I add you to my friends list or something on here? You seem to really know your stuff and understand everything I have said, I like that and would prefer to just deal with you if I ever have any problems again lol. Also, I have given Kudos to every response you have given me and would like to give you the solution part as well, but not sure which one to select as the actual answer to the problem lol so which would you prefer me to click? Either way it's all yours, I can't thank you enough, you're amazing!! lol Hope you have a great day and fabulous week, take care!
