Upgrading Notebook RAM

Hi, I've had my HP Pavilion m6 1006tx for about 11 months now and I have had success in most basic forms of gaming (minecraft and other not so intesive games). Now my computer has an Intel core i7-3612QM multi-core cpu running @ 2.1ghz to 3.1 with intel boost aswell as an AMD 7670 2GB dedicated RAM graphics card. But I am here to talk about upgrading my RAM, I have noticed that 4GB of RAM doesn't allow me to run much and all-in-all barely able to run a game requiring a minimum 2GB of RAM, so I want to know if I would void my warranty if I upgraded my RAM.
I also want to know whether RAM like this one from dicksmith (http://www.dicksmith.com.au/computer-accessories/dse-8gb-ddr3-1600mhz-nbook-ram-dsau-xm5717) would work with my laptop's current RAM that comes with the laptop, as in can I use RAM from two different brands first of all and second, can I used two different amounts of RAM at one time?
Thanks for replying if you do. Also if you need any more specifications, or don't understand anythings please state so and I will clarify with you the details

GX600 notebook ram upgrade

Hello everyone,
I 've had a GX600-009 for 1 year and half now, and I am very pleased with it. However I would like to upgrade the RAM from 2GB to 4GB (2x2GB modules).
On the notebook details, it is said the maximum amount of ram you can put is 2GB.
I would like to know if anyone succeeded to upgrade the GX600 to more than 2GB of ram ?
Has there been a BIOS update to add the > 2GB ram support ?
Thank you for your help

Which memory modules did you tried? Did you followed the instructions on memory vendor's website? For example, when you search for MSI GX600 on Kingston's website, you'll get selection of tested compatible modules for three variants:
http://tinyurl.com/cb34x8
http://tinyurl.com/c7ntxv
http://tinyurl.com/ct5ese
From those three, only one 4GB combo is KVR667D2S5K2/4G kit. This one should work fine as it was tested to work for GX600.
http://tinyurl.com/dnm5ep
However, BIOS update might be also helpful - since there is no real changelog included (why MSI did stopped using this?) nobody knows for real - but compatibility fixes are common even in silent updates. I would go for the latest one, IMO.

Hi
Notebook supports Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset.
This supports single-/dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM
Maximum Memory supported: up to 4 GB at 400, 533 and 667 MHz
http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/datasheet/309219.pdf
So PC2-667 modules are supported

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01295079.pdf
Please see chapter 1, page 2 for how much, and what type of memory you can install.
I recommend you install PC2-6400 memory, since the processors can run it at 800 Mhz instead of 667 MHz, which is all that PC2-5300 can run at.

Upgrade the ram on my 4710s Probook.

I am looking to upgrade the ram on my Probook 4710s. When I look up the specs of the part number VA024PA#ABG it says the it can use DDR2 or DDR3. see http://h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetPDF.aspx/c01722937.pdf
This does not sound right. I ran a program called CPU-Z and it indicates that I have 2 x 2048 Mb DDR2 modules installed.
Is it possible to use DDR3 RAM in this notebook?
Also, why does my System Properties show that I have 2.96GB or RAM?
Thanking you in advance. John

DDR3 is cheaper and faster but the modules are different so they will not fit your laptop. You should be able to run 8 gigs but 4 gig modules of DDR2 are still prety expensive and I doubt the upgrade would do a lot for you. You have 3 gigs useable because of video use and also you likely have a 32 bit operating system. If you were going to try to run 8 gigs you would have to install 64 bit.

I am having consistant problems w/ my mb pro freezing for 20-60 seconds while working in different programs and apps. i've upgraded my RAM to 8gigs and deleted over 60 gig of pics and videos to try to help, but nothing seems to work.

I've now been having this problem for months. It just freezes up and either shows me the dumb color wheel or doesn't show me anything sometimes and i just cant do anything for about 20-60 seconds. i can't exposae or anything. Also while working on a power point presentation it froze 4 different times for good and i had to do a hard restart just to get it working again. i lost my work and had to keep starting over. it was so annoying. it seems most of the time it does it, it is while i'm in Excel, Outlook, or Powerpoint. so perhaps it has something to do with my microsoft office. but i have the newest version and all the updates and everything. and i believe its happened when doing other tasks too. So i just can't figure it out.
A few Mac friends suggested i free up some space on my hard drive and upgrade my RAM. So i did. i put all my videos and photos on an external harddrive and deleted them all on my computer. i also upgraded to 8 gigs of RAM.
And honestly i can't even tell a difference after doing both of these.
HELP! PLEASE HELP! I'M ABOUT TO GO CRAZY. And having all the non Mac believers telling me it cause i have a Mac even drives me more nuts..
Jason

Any of this help?
it froze a few times over the last hour and half while browsing the internet.
and also while working in excel it all of the sudden shut down excel and said. "Excel has encountered and problem and needs to shut down, you may lose the work you were on." or something like that. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TOO. Excel, outlook and powerpoint frequently just shut down on me out of now where. I've bolded and underlined when this happened.

Aperture 3 keeps crashing on me, consistently. More frequently after using Burn tool or skin smoothing - and even more often when I feather. What can I do? I already upgraded my RAM. I'm at a loss!

4) When my computer crashes, once it starts again, it says "repairing" ... but I am not familiar with reparing permissions -- can you explain how I might do that?
If you are running OS X Lion, then you can restart your computer and then press and hold the 'Option' key immediately after you hear the start up 'gong' (usually heard when grey screen shows as it restarts).
You should see at least two Disks to choose from. Choose 'Recovery Disk' and wait for it to load, then choose 'Disk Utility' option in the Utilities dialog.
Once Disk Utility loads, do the following:
1 - In the left hand pane, choose your system partition (usually called either 'Macintosh HD' or 'Macintosh SSD'). Note - don't choose the actual hard drive listed above the partition when using Disk Utility in OS X Lion as this doesn't offer options for repairing due to it including the Recovery Disk you have loaded in memory.
2 - Click the 'First Aid' tab
3 - Click the 'Repair Disk Permissions' button in lower portion of main pane and allow to complete. Ideally, you will get a final message in main pane saying Disk Permissions are repaired.
4 - At lower right of same pane, click the 'Repair Disk' button and allow to complete. Ideally, you will get a final message indicating that Disk Repair is completed and all appears to be good.
5 - Quit Disk Utility > Close Utilities dialog window > Click 'Restart' button (confirm as needed).
You should boot straight into the system partition when complete.
Note - any red text in the main pane text while running the repairs will be issues and you will need to follow the advice given or post back.
If you are running Snow Leopard; then (as David mentions) boot from your first OS X reinstall disc and run the Disk Utility the same way; except you select the actual hard drive listed at top of left pane (not the partition below it). This is because Snow Leopard does not use a 'Recovery Disk' partition and repairs can be run on the HD or SSD itself.
Hope that helps.

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
If you can help, please tell me,
Thankyou.

No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
Good luck - write back with any questions.

I am extremely disappointed with my imac's speed. should i upgrade the RAM?

I bought this lovely machine so that when i come back home, i can push aside my 12" toshiba work laptop and enjoy working on my music and photos and internet browsing on the imac.
the music (ipod +itunes) and browsing works great, but as soon as i get onto iphoto (v5.0.4), it just takes years to get anything done and sometimes it just closes down on me. i have times that colourful round ball rotaing at times for over 40 minutes! i have just 8,000 photos and i just cannot use iphoto at all. also, i'm not all that savvy (or inclined) to try and figure out other softwares - i just assumed that apple's own software and hardware would combine really well in an application that it is really well known for (digital imaging).
so do you reckon it's a hardware issue (RAM or something like that) or that iphoto isn't upto the task? i would use another software for organising the photos if necessary, but i do quite like the way in which iphoto does the organising - when it works.
hope someone out there has some ideas for me!
cheers

Thank you all for the replies! I'm going to work through what each of you have suggested and see how much it helps. The 40 minutes of processing time is not an exaggeration. In fact, it sometimes takes longer than that - but I think it's hanging - so i've forcibly shut down the application.
Al - cheers for your immediate tips - they have certainly helped. I disallowed other shared libraries, dropped the shadow and reduced the photo size to approximately a small thumbnail and the speed has most certainly improved! it still takes a few minutes every now and then, but it's decidedly better.
Dan - I'll try Onyx (first i'll figure out what it is!) to clean things up, i imagine.
Jerry, thanks for the tip on iphoto buddy. i'll certainly try it when i have the time. it'll also help me keep the photos i don't want everyone to see aside, i imagine!
And Rod - these are all jpegs from my NikonD70, i haven't started shooting RAW as yet, as i have to figure out how to process those first! I'll probably upgrade the RAM to 2gigs and to ilife'06 in the next week or two. I'll go through the routine that you suggested for checking for directory corruption as well.
Thanks a lot to all of you! i'm sure i'll be back on track very soon!
cheers,

I am having a hard time with fcpx, it is running so slow. i upgraded my ram to 12 and have cleaned up my computer to run faster and have changed all my files to proxy files but it is still running SO slow. please help!

I am having a hard time with my fcp x running so slow. i can't even move my mouse without the time wheel coming on and staying up for at least 20 some seconds. I have upgraded my ram to 12 and changed all my files to proxy files; also i cleaned the crap out of my computer removing all other media files I didn't need and it is still running the same. Please help! I have a deadline on my short film to be submitted and I can't finish it like this. Oh also it ran fine in the beginning but and one day it just started doing this out of no where. Anything will help! Thanks

In addition have you got FileVault switched on as that will kill performance.

I need to upgrade my RAM...

My computer is running slow so I want to upgrade the RAM. I have a
Mac Pro Quad-Core MC250LL/A Mid 2010 system with 4 memory slots that have 1 GB of RAM each. My question is can I just upgrade that one slot and if so, how much RAM can I install in that one slot?
Thanks in advance.

The Mac Pro 2010 5,1 uses memory by the each, not in pairs. The largest module you can ADD to your existing ones is 8GB, because the 16GB DIMMs are Registered DIMMs and require all the others be removed.
The 8GB module is about the same price as two 4GB modules, so the 8GB module is what you should buy. Buy from a Vendor who promises:
"It works in your Mac,
or your money Back."

Click here. This tells you what you would like to know. You could also install the free Crucial System Scanner Tool which will scan your system to find the exact configuration you currently have and what you could upgrade to.
Let me know if this helps.
