Capacity of RAM Max unofficial for x120e

Can someone confirm that using more the official 4 GB RAM max in x120e works?

I am running WIndows 7.

I saw a post elsewhere online 8 GB ("2 x Kingston KVR1066D3S7/4 = 8 GB DDR3 1066 MHz CL7 SODIMM") works, but there is no documentation.

Welcome to the Forum!

This has been confirmed several times: x120e certainly supports 8 GB of RAM. As a matter of fact, a person reported same installation of 16 GB of RAM! http://forums.Lenovo.com/T5/X-series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-4GB-or-8gb-Max/TD-p/413327

I'm not sure about 16 GB, but if you read the whole carefully thread you will find several confirmations of the members and moderators on this Forum than 8 GB really works without problem in x120e. When people have problems, it's because of some brands of RAM of low-end manufacturers or a problem with their system map. In this same thread, you will find many specific manufacturers of 4 GB of DDR3 RAM of the recommendations that have been confirmed to work gently to bring the x120e up to 8 GB. Use one of the recommended brands and specific model numbers mentioned and you will be OK.

Make sure you have Windows 7 64-bit installed to access all of the 8 GB, Windows 7 32 bit can recognize more than 3 GB of RAM.

  • 17 - g133cl: capacity of RAM Max of 17-g133cl

    17-g133cl comes with 12 GB of RAM.  If I expand this in the future, I would like to know what is the maximum amount of RAM can be supported by the laptop.  Anyone know?

    Why is it not this information on the technical specifications of the HP for this product?

    Even though it says it's for the 17 g000 to-model g099 this is the correct service manual:

    Manual

    Two SODIMM slots - NOT accessible / extensible DDR3 1333 MHz Dual Channel customer (DDR3L 1600 retrograde to the DDR3-1333) DDR3L-1600-MHz Single Channel Support service supports up to 16 GB of RAM in memory of 16384 MB total system ● following conƭgurations (8192 × 2)

    So when they write the datasheet they assume nobody would level memory. In fact, if you can remove the back cover to get the memory locations, pouvez replace the module 4 GB with a second module of 8 GB to have total 16 concerts. However, it puts at risk the security, but the upgrade is not as hard as on some models that require removal of the motherboard. It can be done by someone with fair to mediocre skills tech.

    TNX, david.

    Yes the manual does sometimes not completely meaningless. What they in fact at p. 3, is it may take up to 8 GB (4 + 4), but it was sold only with up to 6 GB (4 + 2). It can actually take up to 8 GB 2 x 4 gig modules. You need the DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM

  • Max Hardrive for CQ70-120US

    Hello.  I want to improve my hardrive.  Anyone know what's the max hardrive taken capacity supported for my CQ70-120US laptop model?

    Also is the maximum RAM supported limited to 3Gigs?

    Here are the official specifications of HP:

    Plug

    He said that you are limited to 3 gigs, but according to me, what they are referring to the max memory for 32-bit Vista which is 3 gigs. There is no need to go beyond 3 GB if you have a 32-bit version of Windows. I'm pretty sure that the laptop would be 4 GB of DDR2 memory, but it will be of use if you are installing a 64-bit version of Windows. The processor T3200 does support 64 bit OS' are unless HP has somehow that disabled in the BIOS.

    With regard to the hard drive it is SATA so that you can install any drive laptop size on the market as long as it is 2.5 inches wide and 9.5 mm thick. I know you can use a 640 gig drive and they are even now 750 GB drives and 1 TB that will be adapted, but some of the biggest records wide 2.5 inches are too thick for laptops... more server blades are so careful to check the dimensions of what you buy.

  • Satellite A500-1GL - PSAR9E - RAM max

    Hello, I have 2 * 2 GB of RAM on my laptop, I bought a 1 * 8Gb Corsair 1600 Mhz revenge.

    But when I insert my new memory module only, I have a blue screen. I saw with CPU ID & SIW that my maximum capacity is 8Gb, so here's my question: is the maximum capacity of 8 GB only for 2 modules of memory of 4 GB each? Or I can theoretically have only a single slot with 1 * 8 GB?

    North Bridge: Intel Havendale/Clarkdale Host Bridge revision 02
    South Bridge: Intel HM55 revision 05

    Thanks for reading.

    You are right. You can increase the Ram up to 8 GB.
    In your case, there must be a compatibility problem. According to the specifications of the laptop compatible RAM for your machine is 4 GB DDR3-1066-PA3677U-1M4G.
    In my opinion you should order both of them and update your computer.

    Modules of RAM and very good quality, you can also order by Kingston - http://www.kingston.com/us/memory/search/options/

  • Maximum RAM and type for Satellite Pro A100

    Hello.

    I have already looked at my manual, but I can't get a definitive answer.

    I went to one of these computers, analysis of Web sites and it claims I have 2 SLOTS where I can put 1 GB DDR II PC2-4200 each (so 2048 MB of ram)
    (es http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Satellite%20Pro%20A100%20Seri) But according to CPU - Z, my laptop contains DDR II PC2-4300 512 MB

    But when I recorded from TOSHIBA Web site and entered the serial number of my cell phone, he told me that I had a Satellite Pro A100-196
    When I searched for Satellite Pro A100-196 on the internet, I came across a website (http://toshiba.icecat.biz/en/p/PSAACE-00E00DG3/Satellite%2520Pro%2520A100-196.htm) that says that 100-196 a module of DDR II (533 mhz) and that it can place additional modules up to 4096 MB (which means I can't that modules of RAM 2 GB each)

    So I would like to know if anyone knows the final RAM MAX (and type), I can place.

    Thank you.

    The Satellite Pro A100-196 appears to bear the 667 Mhz front bus!
    So, you can also use the modules of memory 667 Mhz (533 Mhz is also possible).

    I advise to use SODIMM 200 PIN DDR2 modules; 667 MHz (PC2-5300)

    You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB max. So it is certainly possible to use a 2 GB into a slot!

  • M3910 i3 540 3.07 GHz Tower RAM upgrade possible? -Maximum RAM per slot for my model?

    Hello

    I ' v has my M3910 i3 540 3.07 GHz for awhile now and I'm very happy with it as a day to day PC, but for some time I get regular crashes and intend to reinstall Windows 7 from scratch. I would like a little more speed so will install SSD and more RAM (3 GB for the moment), but the specs on the RAM available on the web are confusing. I got a 8 GB compatible key available, but it froze the Acer splash screen. I want 16 GB (called max) but settle for 8GB.

    Is the limit of RAM per slot 2GB, as argued in the specifications, or I can get 4 GB in each of the 4 slots? Crucial is indicating it takes 1600 RAM, but the specifications say 1333? FYI, my serial number starts: [under the direction of privacy]

    Thanks in advance.

  • Buggy BIOS reporting wrong OS RAM - whatever works for the normal case... Should I buy a DELL next time?

    I know that this thread needs by Dell support, or maybe I'll get the standard answer E310 motherboard supports only 2 GB (official number).   But I hope that there are other materials here lovers like me, who have found a solution to this problem...

    Are there any success stories of the E310 Bios reports 4 GB (all) OS kernel?  I'm under A03 version BIOS because according to Dell documentation, A04 upgrade will make me only ability to run more high speed CPU, no RAM upgrades.  What a bummer... When you upgrade CPU, one would expect that users will try RAM upgrade first, and where the team BIOS should have addressed this issue first before giving the possibility of upgrade processors! Here is my account of many hours spent on the research on the internet in detail:

    Resurrect an old Dell Dimension 3100 erasure of the Windows XP with Ubuntu (Xubuntu specifically, but it could have been Windows 64-bit as well - is not serious). Version of 64-bit installed Ubuntu LTS 14.04.3. This machine has a Hyper threading, 64-bit capable Pentium 4 chipset from Intel 915GV (who may be able to max 8 GB of RAM, according to Intel). Updated from existing to 1 GB of RAM Kingston with purchase of 2 sticks of 2 GB Samsung (same model). I tried all possible combinations of 3 all the sticks of memory, as well as tests them alone on this machine. 4 GB or 3 GB, depending on the combination of the sticks, in that I put the BIOS reports. All the sticks of memory are good, and they run the machine individually.

    The problem is that I see conflicting reports of some commands to command line and of applications such as "sysinfo" or "hardinfo". Newspapers of observed point syslog to 3.2 GB kernel is seen by kernel - not the whole 4 GB which is seen by the BIOS, or other command line tools. I'm suspecting that this BIOS is buggy and not all address space gives to the kernel. Here are links showing the conflicting reports:

    1. This is what kernel sees in syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12404466/
    2. Command line indicating the presence of 4 GB: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12405884/
    3. Out of "hardinfo" application: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12405897/

    I am aware that this machine was initially sold to me with 2 GB RAM max as official data. But, after seeing internet reports of others who have made 4GB and research in data of intel 915GV chipset, I think of this maybe a buggy BIOS that does not give the final of 1 GB to the kernel.

    Hi Rdunnill,

    I was informed that the cause of the loss of RAM in BIOS is due to problem 'PCI-hole', which are present in older systems.  Essentially, a lot of memory RAM is simply lost and not used by the hardware, because of this problem and the OS will get to use only about 3. DBM for the moment, it is not yet clear to me if the space occupied by the device drivers is included in the / 3GB or excluded.  So far, I know at least the part of (if not all) video memory is NOT included in the figures presented by operating system.  Other dependants of pilot data maybe OS and I am not deeply knowledgeable about the Ubuntu/Debian OS which I am now running.  So the answer to your question above is that you will see on 1 GB loss once again, if you are upgrading to 8 GB - usable RAM would be about 7 GB.  Can be an overdose, considering the price of a new machine vs RAM these days.

    I read your response (during my research) in the en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19306285 thread, which would lead others to believe that all 4 GB of usable RAM.  You can change this answer here.

    You run BIOS A04, but I have not upgraded to A03 because I see that the upgrade will do anything to the question of memory (but only gives superior CPU option, which I didn't need).   Upgrading from 2.8 to 3.4 GHz CPU BIOS would gain a little speed, but I do not run CPU intensive tasks on this machine.

    Hello!

    If you want to replace your CD/DVD drive, you should look in your user manual. It should be a list of compatible drives that work with Notepad. Check it!

    The new RAM should be a SO-DIMM DDR2-533. The part number for 1 GB is PA3411U-1M1G.

    Finally and most importantly the best place for spare parts is the authorized service provider. They order all the original parts of Toshiba and the Toshiba site, you can search for the closest.

    Yes, the MBP will work with a single module of RAM installed, but there will be a slight performance decrease.  A MBP 2012 will accept a module of 8 GB RAM.

    Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

    Install each RAM module individually in each slot, leaving the other empty.  If the two RAM modules work in a slot and not the other, the slot is faulty.  Sometimes the adjustment screw can resuscitate the slot.  If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

    Ciao.
