Compaq 6730 s: upgrade HP compaq 6730 s RAM (4 GB - > 8 GB)

Hello

I have a 7 years hp compaq 6730 s running windows and ubuntu. It has 4 GB of ddr2 ram (667 MHz, according to me, but I'm not course on this) and a dual processor Intel Centrino 64-bit. It still works great. But I have to run long analysis and many programs at the same time and that makes it sometimes slow down or even freeze. I was wondering if I should look more than an upgrade of RAM or an upgrade of the processor. I think the first, but I've never done before

Thank you!

Hello

I run Lunix so I don't know how he manages memory. In other Word, I know that we can put the data in memory and eliminate the disk i/o - much, much, much faster but in this word RAM is still very, very expensive. Now, they will put flash card of new machines which is much less expensive to use for page and swap files. In short, more memory is good.

Kind regards.

    Hi KevinRy,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

    Unplug all external devices.

    Try to start in safe mode. If you can start in safe mode, and then do a system restore to restore the computer to an earlier point in time.

    Change the recovery settings to disable automatic reboot, if you are able to boot up to the desktop computer:

    1.

    Right-click my computerand then click Properties.

    2.

    Click the Advanced tab.

    3.

    Under Startup and recovery, click settings to open the Startup and recovery dialog box.

    4.

    Clear the automatically restart check box, and then click OK many times necessary.

    5.

    Restart your computer so that the settings take effect.

    Now, when you are going to close and a fatal error occurs, you will see at least and it won't cause an automatic restart.

    Please reply back with the error message you get because it helps us to resolve the error.

    Kind regards

  • Compaq Presario C731TU: RAM and CPU max UPGRADE Presario C731tu chipset GLS960 cpusocket PPGA478 RAM and CPU max UPGRADE

    Hi all!

    I have a Compaq Presario C731TU I absolutely need to upgrade its opportunities top of page. I discovered that he could run processor family Intel core 2 duo, and celeron family, that sounds really good!

    Then consulted taken PPGA478 processors on the site of intel with their processor feature filter (http://ark.intel.com/search/advanced?s=t&FamilyText=Legacy%20Intel%C2%AE%20Core%E2%84%A22%20Processo...)   the best option seems to be Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9500 (2.60 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 6 MB Cache).

    My question is:

    Is there another cpu option better? Inside of a forum, I read that it can withstand up to Intel C2D T9xxx family but after T9500 (e.g. T9600 or T9900) taking turns into PGA478 and not PPGA478. What is the difference between PPGA478 and PGA478? are they the same or not?

    Are there limits on the CPU with the BIOS upgrade? (mine is upgrated to F34 which should be the latest version)

    About RAM: this laptop should work max 2 GB of ram but in fact I use it with 3 GB of ram (with these config.: 1 GB on the inner slot and 2 GB on the external, the inverse solution does not work, can not guess why), but someone "found a way" to use the 2 banks of 2 GB 4 GB total (and if according with this http://www.intel.com/Assets/PDF/specupdate/316274.pdf - pag. 19 - should be quite possible) , what ram 2x2gb modules can be accepted if? Help me = S

    Thank you very much in advance!

    I opened the laptop and the chipset inside the computer, wirtten there is an INTEL GL 960 who should manage only 553 mhz FSB... But... I installed inside, as the core 2 duo t9300, which has 800 Mhz FSB and it is fully functional in frequency from 800 Mhz to FSB. Really good news =)

    AIDA 64 tool (former Everest) shows the FSB of GL960 chipset can run on 533, 667 and 800 Mhz frequency.

  • Compaq CQ42-258VX: RAM upgrade CQ42-258VX

    Now, I run my CQ42-258VX with RAM 2x2gb. I want to improve this laptop RAM at 2x8Gb(16Gb). But according to the website of intel processor i5 - 450 M maximum RAM is only 8 GB

    I want to know if I still switch to 16 GB, what will happen?

    (a)-l' another 8 GB of RAM is not detected by the BIOS of the laptop, so I can't use it at all, or

    (b) - 16 GB of RAM is detected by the BIOS of the laptop but I can't use it due to the limitation of the processor, but I can still use it for other functions such as using it to become RAMDisk

    I would like to know the answer, because if the answer 'a') that's going to happen so I will not waste my money and I'll buy 8 GB of RAM instead of buy the 16 GB

  • Compaq presario s3040se RAM

    Im a freelance tech and I am in the middle of giving up a compaq presario s3040se customers a melody so to speak.

    IM goin to update modules memory live, a couple gig. I can't find a manual or a set of specifications that have ALL the info I need. It's my first HP, and I guess that ive been spoiled to work with ASUS prouducts as there is a lot of information online.

    so, from what I gathered, the MB has two DDR SD slots. He now has a module of 256 MB in the first slot and a total capacity of unspecificed module in the second. The second module is marked "64 MB", and I know that this unit uses int. Intel XGP, which share up to 64 MB of system ram. I want to get at least 1 GB, if it is not not the 2gig maximum MB of ram new in this unit. With the 'shared memory ram' im reluctant to replace the two modules. Ive found some info out there, but a large part upwards is indicated as being compatible with s3040se-b, and as previously indicated my model is a s3040se. Anyone know the difference between models >?  I have to do something different from the upgrade of my ram, where it is shared?

    any input will be appreciated thanks

    Hello

    The following link shows the specifications of this machine:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00005384

    It came with only "256 MB DDR SDRAM" and you can upgrade to 2 GB. It has 2 slots/banks and a slot open (free). Now you can move on to 2 GB, 1 GB each slot/Bank. You can buy RAM from the following reliable supplier:

    http://www.crucial.com/EU/upgrade/HP+-+Compaq-memory/Presario/Presario+S3040SE-upgrades.html

    or use the information (including the price) to buy elsewhere.

  • Compaq Presario F730US RAM/OS issues

    Hello world!

    I recently acquired a NICE Compaq Presario F730US laptop with a fresh install of Vista Home Premium. It seems to do very well, except for a few things, but people have been (literally, everyone) telling me I had to upgrade to Windows 7. That, I would be OK with this, as an upgrade to Windows 7 Edition Family Premium is $ 90 at Amazon at the moment, but I don't know if I have enough RAM.  I have 1 GB installed and want to install more, but the problem is, according to critical, most computer media is 2 GB, correct?  I mean, that seems to be enough to run Vista properly, (he does well on 1 GB, honestly, but Aries is anywhere between 50 and 90%, usually + 80% with running programs), but I read that Windows 7 requires 1 GB to run by itself.  If this is the case, 2 GB seems worth enough (Vista is a 32-bit operating system installed here, and 7 would be so 32-bit) this laptop can be used more than 2 GB?  I don't know why they are "limited" on the RAM, appears as a type of thing is really not necessary to limit. If 2GB is the absolute most it may take, 2 GB will work Vista Edition Home Premium, or is it better to leave with Vista? I heard a lot of horror stories about Vista, while everyone else seems to love 7. I checked the Support/Drivers section, and there has not been an update of the BIOS in almost 3 years, so this is the original that is currently on the computer.

    Thanks to you all.

    p.s., while I am, can this laptop take a bigger hard drive?  250, 320 AND 500 GB?  Are there specific features in this category?

    Thank you.

    Hi, you can install up to 2 GB of memory. I would stay with Vista just upgrade to the latest service pack.

    You can also upgrade your drive hard the largest stay only available with the 5400 RPM.

    The main problem in the Win7 upgrade will be device drivers

  • Problems with Compaq Presario 5BW220 RAM

    This office is 8 years old and supposedly supports 512 MB memory SDRAM PC100.

    Recently, I worked on this for my son-in-law.  It came with 64 MB of SDRAM PC100 and Windows Millennium Edition.  I tried to install 2-256 MB memory SDRAM PC133 maximum amount supported RAM, but it refused to start.  I replaced every 256 MB module with a 128 MB PC100 module and managed to do start.  I expected to read 384, but he will read only 256 MB.  I had not all PC100 256 MB modules to use.  I finally installed modules from 2 to 128 MB PC100 and he left like that.

    I never had a problem in the past with an old desk accepting a combination of PC100 and PC133 modules, so it was a first for me.

    The Compaq Presario 5BW220 have a problem with the acceptance of this combination, and she actually says a maximum of 512 MB?

    This could be useful in the future:

    http://www.crucial.com/

    If you click "scan my system" he can tell you all sorts of things on the RAM.

    I have a system built home (with all the paperwork by moving the boxes...) who had a chip spoil.  I could not remember what RAM took it and I didn't go root through the boxes in the garage. =)

    Their scanning system could not see what kind of memory I had, but he told me exactly what my motherboard could support. (Type and max of 1 GB per slot)  He even suggested several configurations of memory.

    Once I saw what he said, he had, I remembered that I had bought before and it didn't fit.

  • Compaq SR2150NX: Add ram to sr2150nx

    I try to add two sticks of 1 GB of memory to this office.  When both are installed, I get an error of memory NVRAM and the computer will not boot to windows.  When I add only 1 stick (1 GB total) in each slot it starts with Windows without a problem.  It does this with a stick in both positions.  I have two 500 MB sticks installed.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    I checked the capacitors and they all look great.  I also looked in the BIOS and could not find any settings for the video.  I am currently trying to upgrade the driver but I'm not too confident that the difference (this is newer than 4 months).  I can try to retract the resolution and see if that makes a difference (I doubt it).  Thanks again for your previous suggestions and if nothing else comes to mind, I'd be happy to give it a shot.
