OSHDK, welcome to the forum.

You have the maximum amount of memory installed.  However, you can perform a system recovery:

http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/Compaq-Presario-CQ5200-desktop-PC-series/3999467/model/4048603/how-to

This will return your computer in its original configuration to increase the performance of the system.  Installing and uninstalling programs leave remnants of them, which, over time, will begin to slow down the computer.  Must make a backup of your personal data before you start.

    Your laptop has two DIMM slots. The maximum amount of memory, others have upgraded to 4 GB is. The maximum recommended by HP is 2 GB. The memory of replacement should be PC2-5300 667 Mhz, 1.8V

    Here is a link to the memory at Crucial.com.  Only use the modules of replacement by major memory creators who produce guaranteed compatible memory modules to avoid the risk of buying incompatible modules.

    System requirements:

    * 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x 86) or 64-bit (x 64) processor

    * 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

    The upgrade to Windows XP?

    Please read these instructions carefully and completely before you begin installing Windows 7: there are important steps that you must follow to upgrade your PC from Windows XP to Windows 7 in order to preserve your files and settings.

    Before you begin, you'll need to backup all your data to an external storage device, and you will need all the installation discs for the programs that you want to keep. Please make sure that you have an external hard drive (see details below).

    More detailed instructions are available at windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-xp. Here are the basic steps.

    1. start Windows Upgrade Advisor (windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor) to see if there are known issues that may affect the installation and the question of whether you should install the version of 32 or 64 bit Windows 7.

    2 back up your files and settings on an external hard drive using Windows Easy Transfer (windows.microsoft.com/windows-easy-transfer). If you do not have an external hard drive, you will not be able to use Windows Easy Transfer. Alternatively, you can copy the files you want to keep on a USB stick, CD or DVD.

    3. you will need to manually reinstall your programs, such as Microsoft Office, after I installed Windows 7. Gather the installation for your programs and all partner/license product key discs. You may be able to download programs from the Internet. For example, Windows Live Messenger can be installed from the download.live.com/messenger.

    4. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in your PC. When asked "which type of installation you want. Click on "Custom (advanced)."

    5. when Windows 7 is installed, use Windows Easy Transfer to restore your files and settings.

    If you are not comfortable Windows 7 installation, check with a local retail or the services of the PC company store to see if they offer upgrade services.

  • Upgrade memory on an all in a single LX830

    I may upgrade the 4 GB provided to meet the requirements of the program. Additional memory needs to be installed in pairs? The existing 4 GB occupies a dwelling, can I mount 8 GB in another location or it will be incompatible?

    Well, mainly upgrade memory depends on the support of the chipset/CPU.

    Not quite sure what computer Toshiba LX830 do you have exactly but as far as I know the L830 all in one units would support up to 16 GB of RAM.

    A property used by a 4 GB RAM module and housing is free.
    This is why it must be able to use another additional module of 8 GB RAM.

    But of course, another module of 8 GB RAM should be compatible with the current 4 GB of RAM.
    Otherwise, you will get some compatibility issues

  • Upgrade memory on NB300-108

    Looking to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB on my NB300-108

    Have you looked at the website of Toshiba and the cost, but there seems to be a plethora of alternative sites with upgrades memory compatible when I put in the part number.

    Would like to receive experiences in the forum about alternatives etc.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The laptop supports DDR2 800 MHz SO-DIMM or PC2-5300 (DDR2 667 Mhz) modules.
    These modules are provided by different companies.
    There are good quality modules and less quality modules

    Of course, you can choose and buy the cheapest, but in this case, you use the risk of compatibility problems.

    I made good experiences with RAM from Kingston. These are of good quality and not too expensive modules

  • Upgrading memory on the NB550D - 11 d - 4 GB of RAM are possible

    To anyone who thinks of a memory upgrade on the NB550D:

    The NB550D supports up to 4 GB of memory, not only 2 GB as mentioned by Toshiba in their specifications.
    Upgrade memory to 2 GB is _only limited_ by the pre installed Windows 7 Starter OS, and not by the netbook itself.

    I use Linux Mint 11 Katya, 64-bit and my system works perfectly well with a 4 GB ram module. If you want to use the full support for 4 GB ram, get rid of the Win 7 Starter operating system.

    Specifications for more memory ram volume are DDR3 1333 MHz PC3-10600 SO-Dimm. I chose a 4 GB of Corsair module, because of the guarantee of 30 years of offers from Corsair.

    It took me a while to find this out hope, that this will be a help to all those who are just as secure as I was how to upgrade memory NB550D. Good luck. (o).

    Thanks for the comments

    Also it of important to mention than the 32-bit systems (not serious if its Linux or Windows) would recognize only 3.2 GB since it is a limitation of 32-bit
    So to use all of the 4 GB RAM 64-bit system is required.

    Hi Ben

    Maybe you used the memory modules bad.
    As far as I know that you can upgrade memory for max 192 MB
    The 64 MB has been installed in an internal memory and cannot be deleted.

    I found these compatible modules:
    PA3003U - 1 M 03 32 MB
    PS3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB
    PS3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB

    Hi mate.

    As far as I know your laptop supports two memory locations.
    They must be placed at the bottom of the unit.
    If you n t know how to change this then I recommend consulted the user manual!
    The manual can be downloaded from the Toshiba European page.
    I think that the laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. So, you can use 1 GB of RAM in one slot.

    PS: you must use the RAM DDR2 PC2-4200 memory - 200pin modules

  • HP ENVY Sleekbook 4-1000en: upgrading memory on ENVY 4-1000en

    Hello

    Since I have some basic computer knowledge, but I want to be sure before you go for it, I need your advice.

    I have a HP ENVY Sleekbook 4-1000en and I have recently upgraded to HDD and the OS.

    I think the upgrade of RAM have, as far as I know that you need 2 memories of the same type, so I guess I can't buy an another 4 GB right?

    Do I need 2 x 4 GB of DDR3 memory, of the same type to make it work? For example they would work very well

    http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-8gb-high-performance-sodimm-memory-upgrade-kit-cmsx8gx3m2a1600c9 ?

    Finally the upgrade memory requires any other configuration after plugin in? Is a format for example?

    Thanks for your time.

    Hello

    The following link shows the specifications of your computer:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03362810

    It has 4 GB of RAM now. The question is 4 GB in a dwelling or in the two slots (2 + 2).

    b in the case of a home, you can just buy another 4GB with SAME part/characteristics of the EXISTING RAM and install in the second slot.

    (b) if in 2 slots (IE 2 + 2), then throw them both and buy 2 new sticks 4 GB each. Agin use even care.

    You don't need to format RAM. Moreover, we have only to format HDD/SSD but not RAM. And Yes, push in the two slots must be same same specs even marks to be able to get all the benefits.

    Kind regards.

  • Portege 3500 - upgrade memory

    Necessary upgrade memory for a p3500. 'Expert' advised two sticks of 512 MB PC133, but on opening the rear of the location that a laptop computer and on the insertion of the new RAM it gives an error code beep. Is there than a single slot? and if so what maximum capacity and what type of RAM will it take?

    Hi Jeffrey,.

    As far as I know the 3500 Series provided with a removable module of RAM of 128 MB, 256 MB or 512 MB depending on what model and specifications you purchased. There is one other remaining slot for expansion purposes.

    The total support for the 3500 Series RAM is 2 GB and the type of RAM should be SODIMM PC133 144 pins.

    It is important that you match the RAM modules that your RAM module existing (one removable) is of the same type you new RAM module. Of course, you can always delete the original from the RAM and insert two new modules of RAM instead.

    Please check the following URL for more information on the available RAM module type.
