W510 First time RAM Installation advice

Howdy everyone! Now, I've had my Thinkpad W510 for many years now. Got it from the college I went to. However, it's two gigs worth of ram just isn't cutting it anymore with gaming and whatnot and I've decided to add more to it. I've tirelessly looked over the internet and this website and I...just can't understand what I need to do. I'm only getting 8 gigs of ram (two 4 gigs). I know there's four ram slots, but which ones do I put them in? What do I do with the 2 gig that is already in there? Do I put it in another slot? This is my first time doing this sort of thing and I just want to make sure I do it right. (also because I highly doubt any warranty I had, if I ever had any, is still there). Finally, I want to double check if the ram im buying is compatible with the laptop.

Thank you both for the help so far! My ID, if I'm looking at the correct thing, is 43192NU.
And that's a Quad, so it will support four slots

EDIT: May have found some. Would these work? http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/thinkpad-w510-series/CT5311304
That should work, my own W510 was picky with DDR3-12800 modules and would not take a pair or Corsair and a pair of Hynix. So I ended up putting 4x 4GB DDR3-10600.
But I read other users had no problems at all. So just make sure the seller accepts returns just in case.

So, my understanding of what I need to do is just take off the first cover on the bottom of the laptop and just put the two ram's there? I don't have to put them in like, say, one on the bottom and one behind the keyboard like I've been hearing about? 
I expect you will find one slot on the bottom and one under the KB, your W510 is not second hand, right?

  • First Time Mac Owner  (Advice/Upgrade Options)

    Hey guys,
    I am a first time Mac owner, and I am very excited about ridding my self of MS and all their bloatware. I ordered the MBP 15" base model early last week, and I have a few questions about upgrades. Being the base model, it has the 250gb 5,400rpm hard drive and only 2gb of ram. I would like to upgrade to 4gb of ram and a 7,200 rpm hard drive (links posted below). As my money unfortunately doesn't grow on tree's, I will likely have to update one, then the other at a later date. I bring this up, as I have considered waiting on a cheaper SSD's.
    *I guess my question, is where will I see the biggest performance improvement?*
    I think I am a fairly typical user, though I like to get the most I can out of a system. I teach at a local university, and a big part of my time with the system will be creating lesson plans, presentations, and spreadsheets. I will also do some basic photo and video editing, starting with the programs supplied in iLife. In my free time I hope to enjoy some basic gaming, mostly RTS games and WoW.
    I know this post is getting too long, but in addition to which hardware upgrade would give me the most bang for the buck, *what does everyone think about iWork?* As summer is and all of my grading is completed, I think I will have the time to learn a new program along with the new operating system.
    Thanks for your thoughts,
    Troy

    Do the RAM first. A 250GB hard drive is a lot of storage for the stuff you do. You sound more likely to need more memory for more programs running at the same time, and that means RAM.
    what does everyone think about iWork?
    If you are not a Microsoft Office power user, then iWork can be pretty great, actually. If you use the obscure features of Word and Excel, iWork will seem underpowered.

    Just install Leopard onto imac G5 - dock appears - top bar appears - no desktop icons - just the cursor activity

    Hi Daniel Ebeck;
    I don't know why you say that you dislike the Upgrade path.
    So for I have always used for all versions of OS X including Leopard. It has worked flawlessly for me on both my MacBook Pro and my PowerMac Quad.

    This could be a effect of some earlier exception. Can you look through the log to see if other exceptions are thrown.
    You might also want to search AgentProfileFormHandler in your log to see if an exception is thrown while initializing the component

  • Advice For Someone Using A Professional Printer For The First Time

    Hello everyone
    1. I'm doing some posters and flyers for my club using Pages. We've got them looking how we want on my home inkjet printer but now we need someone to print out large quantities. I've never used a professional print service before. There are simply loads of posts on this topic but I wonder if there is anyone out there that does this a lot and can tell me how they do it. I was hoping to initiate the definitive Professional Printing FAQ thread.
    2. Reading the numerous posts, there are lots of terms that I don't understand like 'bleeds' and 'pantone'. Understandably, print is a whole new world of technical terms. Can anyone recommend a good introduction to all this on the web?
    Thanks

    I don't know of a good basic FAQ for printing, but I can try to address some of your issues.
    What is a "large quantity", IanB? Tens, hundreds, thousands? In my experience this is probably the most critical issue, since it pretty much determines the printing method used (and thus the cost). Anything under about a thousand copies will these days likely be printed "digitally", which essentially means run off on a colour laser printer. In my experience, as long as you are not fanatical about colour accuracy, this method is very forgiving of the way the source file is set up, and most houses will take standard PDFs. It is much more expensive on a per-unit basis than offset printing, but there is also little/no "set up" cost, which means that for short runs it is often far more affordable in terms of total cost.
    Once you get to big runs, where you need offset printing (presses that use metal plates for different colour inks), things change a fair bit, as you have to deal with colour separations and possibly spot (Pantone) colours as well. The setup costs for this kind of printing can be very substantial (making metal plates is expensive), but once set up, the cost per unit is far less than digital printing. If this is your first time out, I'd suggest either avoiding going this route, or finding a very understanding print shop that is willing to hold your hand through the production process.
    As for bleeds, that refers to when objects on your document go all the way to the edge of a page. The problem with using bleeds is that they require the printer to print the page on a larger physical piece of paper, with the bleeding objects slightly over the desired edge, and then trim that paper down to size, cut so that the bleeding section is cut through (to avoid a white unprinted edge). But because the cutting is not always absolutely accurate, you need to leave space between the edge of the page and any material that absolutely has to be on it (e.g., text), so that the trimming will only cut away some of the bleed, but not the critical material.
    Bleeds make setting up (and printing) your document much more complicated, and you will be much better off if you can avoid bleeds for your first experience doing professional printing. If not, I'd again suggest that you shop around for a print house that says they'll be willing to walk you through the process of how to format your document to do this.
    I'm sure others here that are more experienced in the printing process can point you to more comprehensive resources, or give you more detailed advice.

  • Does Roaming data syncs for the first time when app data are in download and installation process?

    Hi,
    I will store user Id in "HighPriority" Roaming data. When user will install app in another computer (with the same Microsoft Account), app will get user Id from Roaming data. Then I can implement all data sync over my cloud service.
    There are 2 scenarios:
    1. User downloads and installs app in another computer, but roaming data syncs/downloads for the first time only after several minutes -
    It's bad for my app :(
    2. User downloads and installs app in another computer and roaming data syncs/downloads at the same time (then I can get user Id immediately)
    - Its great for my app :)
    Which scenario is real in practice?
    Does Roaming data syncs for the first time when app data are in download and installation process?

    Umm no not that i remember. It just randomly started happening. I reformatted the hard drive for mac (journaled) but it was working fine since i did it until now

  • Upgrading ram and harddrive before turning on macbook for the first time?

    Hello, I'm totally new to the world of Macs. I am for sure going to purchase a Macbook, but I feel it might be better to upgrade ram and harddrive through third party. I have never upgraded ram or a harddrive, but it seems easy enough after watching the video at macworld and reading instructions. My question is:
    Should I install the ram and harddrive before I turn on the macbook for the first time? Would this make things any easier? Would this be a bad thing to do?
    I plan on ordering both the macbook and the ram and harddrive on the same day. Which is basically why I was wondering.
    Thank you!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    I agree fully with Ned. You will want to power it up and run the setup and even do your data transfer and maybe even install a program or two before doing any upgrades at all.
    Why?
    Updating the OS tests your Airport or ethernet connection.
    Migrating data over by FireWire or USB tests those connections.
    Installing programs from CD will test out the CD drive.
    You will also get a feel for the baseline performance and have something to compare it to once you do those upgrades.

  • Updating N70 - first-timer advice please

    First off, I'd better say I've never attempted to update the firmware on any phone before. My T-Mobile Nokia N70's current firmware is – and I hope you're sitting down – v2.0537.1.7, which was out of date when I got the phone around a year ago.
    I've downloaded the Nokia software updater and sorted out my phone's connection to the PC, so I'm pretty much ready to go, but just have a few questions - well, concerns really.
    I know I need to back up my contacts to the PC and also save any pictures/files in the gallery, but I was wondering what else will be lost when I do it?
    I don't mind losing any of the games that came pre-installed (don't know whether by Nokia or T-Mobile), but Adobe reader is useful to me. What programs etc will I lose, and what will stay after I upgrade?
    What I'm probably most concerned about, however, is the connection settings. Once I have updated the firmware, will the phone retain the call and SMS/MMS connection settings, which I presume were set by T-Mobile, meaning I will be able to carry on without having to change anything, or will I have to sort them all out?
    I guess it's just a case of first-time nerves, but any help or advice anyone can give me would be hugely appreciated.

    Basically once you run the Software Updater tool and it upgrades your phone, it will revert to the condition that you got it when you first took it out of its box. So there will be no settings on the phone whatsoever, and any applications that you installed after you bought the phone will not be there anymore - applications that were on there when you bought it (e.g. calculator etc.) will be there.
    If you have a memory card, I would recommend that you backup your phone contents to your memory card, and then restore them once the upgrade has been completed. From memory (no pun intended) I think on the N70 you can access the memory card by going to Tools->Memory card - then goto the Options menu and "Backup phone contents to memory card" or something similar. When I did this on my N70 and more recently on my N95 it also restored not only the SMS, MMS settings, but also the applications I had installed too. Once the upgrade process has been completed, you can then go back to the memory card and restore the backup to your phone.
    I'm not trying to put the frighteners on you, but be aware that as with any firmware update for any device, there is always the possibility of "bricking" the device - i.e. the firmware upgrade process may go awry and you may be left with a non functioning phone.
    Having said that, before Nokia disabled the ability to upgrade the firmware on a phone more than once, I ran the NSU on my N70 about 3 or 4 times and only had one problem - I've also recently upgraded my N95 and the process went flawlessly, however if you rely on your phone for business or emergency use then I would recommend that you make provisions to have another phone available in case it does go wrong.
    Please ensure you are running the most recent copy of PC Suite and the NSU before going ahead with the upgrade.
    The software updater can be found here : http://www.nokia.co.uk/softwareupdater
    The PC Suite program (to create and restore backups) can be found here : http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
    One final word of advice - don't be in a rush when you do the process - it doesn't take a long time (at the most 10 minutes), but if you are in a rush to do this then you may be tempted to disconnect the device before the upgrade has been done - this is a VERY VERY VERY bad thing to do and will definitely turn your phone into a brick - so don't !
    During the process itself you may see the screen power up and say "Test mode" - this is fine - just let it carry through and the phone will eventually come back up. If there is a scenario where you've given it half an hour and there's been no joy (e.g. the screen is blank), then take the battery physically out of the phone for 5 minutes then put it back and power the phone back on. If it doesn't come back up then you will have to visit your nearest Nokia Service Centre.
    I know I've probably painted quite a negative picture, but as I've said I've upgraded the firmware about 4/5 times successfully and had no problems whatsoever, but it's only fair I paint a balanced picture so you are aware of all the pros and cons of doing this.
    Good luck and please let me know how you get on.
    Regards,
    Edward

    Have done both suggestions, still not working. Could it have somehting to do with my local network? I am using a wireless Internet provided by my apartment building so not sure if apple tv and my computer are not technically on the same "local network?"
    apple tv and main computer are connecting to Internet fine. Just cannot see my itunes on apple tv.
    any other advice? My itunes is turned on to home sharing. i entered the same apple itunes account into aple tv. but appletv keeps saying my computer's home sharing is not turned on...but it is.
