Want to upgrade RAM on HP Pavilion dv6000

Computer currently has 2GB RAM.
Runs Vista 32-bit
Looking upgrading RAM.
Had a couple of questions:
Is it a matter of adding or replacing?
Is there a max?
Is it a farily easy DYI porject?
Thanks,
Sid

Hi:
I have attached the link to your service manual. Page 1-2 states you are already at the max with 2 GB.
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01035677.pdf
If you know someone who may have a 2 GB PC2 5300 chip, you can remove one of your 1 GB chips and see if it works, and reports 3 GB. If it reports 3 GB, then it would report 4 more than likely.
The chipset supports up to 4 GB of memory, but the BIOS may not allow it, and there are no BIOS release notes that add support for 4 GB of memory, so it would have to be an experiment on your part.
Installing memory is relatively easy. read Chapter 5 of the service manual for how to do it. Specifically chapter 5, starting on Page 5-12. Remember to remove the battery and A/C power before taking anything apart.

  • How to upgrade RAM on HP Pavilion dv6000 ?

    Hello!
    I am using a HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook, with a 32-bit Vista business, 2 processors of Genuine Intel with 1.73GHz each, and only 1GB of RAM.
    I would like to upgrade the RAM to 4GB, but I don't know if that's possible, and/or how to do that. I hope you guys can help me.
    Thanks.

    We need to know the exact model number from the tag on the bottom of the laptop. You can then just check by model number with Crucial at crucial.com to check max memory specs. Some of the dv6000s max at 2 gigs as you likely already know. 2 gigs is dirt cheap and would be a major improvement. With 32 bit Vista even if you install 4 gigs only 3 will be available for Windows to use. So 2 gigs is your best bet anyway. The difference between 1 gig and 2 is huge, the difference between 2 and 3 is negligible, in my opinion.

    No problems, go ahead, I'm doing it too, when the price for 16GB  comes down a wee bit more.

  • Want to Upgrade RAM, Please Help!!!

    HI, I have HP Pavilion DV3-2332TX laptop, recently i upgraded it with Windows 10 Home,  having 3(2+1)GB RAM 1066MHz, i want to upgrade my RAM, by additional 4GB in pleace of !GB RAM, please tell that do i have to install the new 4GB RAM of same 1066Mhz or can i upgrade it with 1333MHz or more. will it then work like 6(4+2)GB.

    Hi, You are running 32 bit Windows 10, adding more RAM to 6GB is wasting money because 32bit Operating system can only access to 4GB of RAM (max). You can swap 1GB with 2GB, that's all, to make 4GB and your system can use around 3.7GB. You have to use same specs with existing RAM, higher speed won't work properly or won't work at all. Regards.

  • Want to upgrade RAM on 2011 Macbook pro 13 2.3GHz i5 4GB

    Hello all,
    First of all let me thanks you guys for the support you have been giving here.
    I am new to the forum and this is my first post, I recently bought the new 2011 Macbook pro 13inch 2.3GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5 with the 4GB RAM (4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM-2x2GB)
    I want to upgrade from 4 GB to 8GB. I have researched this issue and found three suitable options, i need help deciding on which to buy. Any good brand or compatibility issues
    I really appreciate your help guys. The links
    Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB)
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148345
    G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB)
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231342
    8.0GB OWC Memory (2 x 4GB)

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I'd worry a little bit about Newegg's "Limited warranty."
    OWC is fully warranted — no iffy "limited" on it.
    You can use OWC's rebate form to turn in your current RAM and get $26 refunded if you buy the upgrade from them.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/support/rebates/memory.cfm
    This would bring the price down to $86.99, but no free shipping, and, presumably, it would cost you shipping to send the modules to them in order to collect the rebate, too.
    I'd want to know the details of that "Limited" warranty if buying from Newegg.

  • I want a upgrade RAMs!

    i wanna upgrade my macbook pro with ram. i was looking on __http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts3-recapple-macbookpro.aspx?pl=Apple&cat=RAM&model=MacBook%20Pro%202.4GHz%20Intel%20Co re%202%20Duo%20%2815.4-inch%29_
    so i dont know if it is better to buy 4GB kit (2GBx2) or just 2GB ...?
    i think it will be ok if i buy onlz 2gb more, will it works fine?
    ty for help

    It depends on what machine you have, and what RAM you already have installed. You likely have two DIMMs (chips) installed in your machine, and you likely only have two slots for memory, so you would likely need to replace the DIMMs in your machine with DIMMs that have more memory, e.g., if you have 2 GB of RAM, and you want 4 GB of RAM, you'll need to remove your 2 GB and replace it with 2 more 2 GB DIMMs for a total of 4 GB.

  • Want to Upgrade RAM...

    Hello All,
    I was interested in increasing the amount of RAM in my PowerBook G4 (1.5 GHz). Currently, the only RAM that's installed is the original 512 MB card. I was thinking about buying a 1 GB stick off of Crucial and putting it in the remaining empty slot. Do you think this will make a noticeable difference? I notice my Pbook gets sluggish at times, especially with a few different apps open. I would buy 2 of the 1 GB sticks and just upgrade it to capacity, but its really not in my budget right now.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Since you are running Tiger on only 512mB of RAM, it is safe to say you will notice the difference when adding the extra gig stick immediately. Tiger is a RAM hog.
    As louie mentions, the ratio of pageins/pageouts is telling. Most subscribe to the notion that a 50/50 ratio really needs more RAM, 90/10 or 80/20 is desirable.

  • Wants to upgrade processor for HP Pavilion 15-e015tu

    Hi, I currently have Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz installed in my Laptop. So can i upgrade it to "Intel® Quad Core® i7-4702MQ 2.20-GHz processor (SC turbo up to 2.90-GHz; 1600-MHz FSB, 6.0-MB L3 cache, 37 W) "  or  "Intel Quad Core i7-3632QM 2.20GHz processor (SC turbo up to 3.2GHz; 1600-MHz FSB, 6.0-MB L3 cache, 35 W)"

    Only the i7-3632QM. You can only have the 3rd gen processor not the 4th gen because you have the HM76 chipset and not the HM86 chipset. If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.

    Hi,
    Your machine currently has 4Gb of RAM:
        http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03325481
    It supports 8Gb max. CPU-Z (SPD tab) should show you RAM information including brand. You can work out what do you need using that information. My suggestion: use information on the SPD tab INCLUDING brand.
    Regards.

    Hi:
    ...and make sure if you want to update the BIOS, do so BEFORE you install W7, or you will brick the notebook if you flash the BIOS afterward.
    Everybody sees this release note after they install Windows 7, and they flash the BIOS.
    System requirements:
    Operating Systems
    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic 32 Edition
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Edition
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic 64 Edition
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64 Edition
    Released:
    2010-04-06
    Version:
    F.43
    Compatibility:
    Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit), Microsoft Windows XP
    Fix/Enhancement:
    - Fixes an issue where a message that says to replace the battery is incorrectly displayed when upgrading the operating system to a Microsoft Windows 7 Operating System.
    The good news is anyone who flashes the BIOS in a dv6000 or dv9000 notebook after they install windows 7 does not have to worry about the false battery error problem anymore.
    The bad news is they need a new notebook PC.
