EliteBook 2540p: Elitebook 2540p - RAM upgrade

Hi all

I want to upgrade the RAM in my Elitebook 2540p to 8 GB or (if possible) to 16 GB.

It comes to the information contained in the HP (http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02206692) website:

@Alex_C1

You are right that the 8 GB is your max.

You are limited by the memory of the CPU bus.

It seems that the CPU of your model can be 8GB.

Memory maximum size (according to the type of memory)8 GB
Types of memoryDDR3 800/1066

  • HP Elitebook 8540w RAM Upgrade

    Hello

    I am currently in the process of upgrading the RAM in my Elitebook 8540w. I have the i7 Intel M620 (dual-core) and bought the computer in August 2010. I also have Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 2x2gb (total 4 GB) of RAM.

    I watched this document in order to see what the options were: http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c04150938&ver=25

    Now, I see 2 contradictory statements in this document. On page 7, it is said that 8 GB modules are only compatible with quad-core processors (represented by two asterisks) and that it would be possible to have 8 GB (2x4gb) total in my case. Then, on page 18, the table indicates that a configuration of 2x8GB (16GB total) would be possible since there are no asterisks in addition to this configuration.

    So who is the maximum I can put in: 2x4gb or 2x8GB?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The document is for many products for the complete series. Looks like your machine is a machine double heart so it only it supports only 8 GB for 2 slots (the first * indicates 8Gb each slot, and a quad core, you can get up to 4 x 8 = 32 GB).

    Kind regards.

  • EliteBook 8540w ram upgrade

    Good day my Pro friends! Here me again. I am in a quandry that needs expert advice:

    I have an Elitebook 8540, w / 720qm CPU Intel. I run Win.7Pro. 64 bit. now, according to the maintenance manual, the ram for this unit should be a maximum of 16 GB, (I know) and uses 10600 or 1333 MHz modules. Now, every time I check with one of the manufacturers of memory, on the compatibility updates, they list, (or if I use their scan) I can go to modules 12800 - 1600 MHz. At the present time, I have 6 GB of 1333 MHz (3x2Go) modules, and is my performance rating: 7.0 - CPU and memory to 5.9. I am told by a friend of tech, to improve my memory, because the side of the memory should be higher than the processor for optimum performance. I tried 2-4 GB, modules of 1600 MHz and index performance changed where the memory was higher. (don't remember the # s) Good. However, by doing a performance check with a program of 'notes of the system', he said that memory was not working @ 1600 MHz, but about 663 MHZ and with 1333 MHz, is about 533 MHz.  The modules of 1600 MHz were borrowed to test. Now, I'm going to 16 GB (4 x 4) @ 1600 MHz. But, I wonder if this will improve performance, or be a waste of money?

    Given that HP specifications say it can handle 16 GB, but only @ 10600 MHz or 1333 MHz, will be 1600 MHz bennifit? Will it work OK.? Thank you my friends, for any input!

    You definitely want a number pair of corresponding modules, so if nothing else add another module, as well as the three, you already have. Your score went up when you install modules of 2 x 8 GB because, among other things, allowing memory to run "dual channel", which is a bit faster. Dual channel only works if identical modules are coupled together.

    You have already shown that the RAM is unable to run at 1600 mhz, the best it will do is run at 1333 due to hardware limitations. That 533 and 663 are actually half speed. You double this figure because it is the memory of the "double data rate". 16 gigs is a luxury that few computer users really need but if you want to spend money you can.

    As a reminder, you can easily install 4 x 4 GB of DDR3 - 1600 but it runs at 1333 mhz but will be dual channel. I don't think that DDR3-1600 is more expensive than the DDR3-1333 at this point and probably more easily accessible. My best advice is to get another module of 2 gig like the one you have.

  • EliteBook 8440p: Ram upgrade problem

    I currently have 4 GB of ram, and I recently took a 4 GB stick on another laptop. When I add the new RAM, Windows crashes. The BIOS reads the new RAM (8 in total), but Windows won't load. The new RAM is <4gb 1rx8="" pc3l="" 12800s="" -="" 11="" -="" 12="" -="" b4="">what I've read, the speed max is 10600 on this computer. Is there a way to reduce the RAM? BIOS is locked and not helpful. My questions are: is the speed, the only question? Is there a way to fix this? I would like to solve this legitimately, but if there are other options which may void the warranty, I'd be interested to hear about so, purely for academic purposes.

    Thank you!

    The speed is not the only problem, it's the tension. Your original brief was 1.5 volts and this new memory is 1.35 volts. It can run at 1.5 volt, but prefer not to and you did not provide a part number for the module, but if it is high density (4 black blocks on each side) it will not play nice with the original HP module. Do yourself a favor and get the memory of one of the good sellers, Crucial, Kingston, etc., that is specified as compatible with your specific model. Intel Core of first generation like yours are very capricious in memory.

  • HP Elitebook 8470p A1029D1102: upgrade of RAM 16 GB for p 8470

    Hello

    I have a HP 8470p (A1029D1102) with 179 KBC Version 42.38 Council. Windows 7 Pro 64-bit operating system.

    In fact, I have a 4 GB of installed RAM module and I would switch to 16 GB (2x8Gb modules).

    The type of memory suitable for this laptop is 204pin DDR3 (or DDR3L), PC-3, 1600 Mhz 12800.

    I don't know if the modules that I will use as upgrade memory must be 'single' or "double" channel.

    My question is - is the most effeicient and reliable type of RAM upgrade appropriate for this laptop?

    In fact, surfing the web, I found a "kit" (2 modules 8 GB/ea "matched"...) of the A-Tech brand at a very reasonable price (US$ 69.00) but I don't know anything about this brand.

    Finally, what are the correct settings to be teaken into account when buying a 16 GB of RAM upgrade in order to have any kind of problem during installation and use?

    Quite well, thank you for any help.

    The best way to upgrade and purchgase a memory that works as expected during installation is to buy only guaranteed compatible memory modules are a well known manufacturer of memory.

    The provider and the memory stand-by manufacturer of their products and ensure they are compatible. They have their name of the game on the market.

    Crucial memory

    Corsair Memory

    KIngston memory

    Using bandwidth specifications, the type and the ability to buy the memory can be hit or miss and disappointing

    oYu will save a lot of time ensuring that the memory that you have selected as candidate for your laptop computer modules are guaranteed compatible. Let manufacturers carry out experimentation in their QA Labs instead of going through the hassle of doing it yourself.

  • Satellite R630-13F - RAM upgrade

    Hi all

    My R630 is faced with a newly added software for Photoshop (CS5 version). Whenever it is quite slow to open and try to merge the picture for the economy.

    I was wondering if I can upgrade the RAM. With a very limited knowledge, I would like to know if I need to buy an additional (if there is a vacancy for it), or I need to get one to replace the old.

    I think increasing the memory to 4 GB, but I was wondering if it will be enough for Photoshop. Thanks a lot for any input.

    Best wishes

    Tim

    Hey Buddy,

    RAM upgrade is not a problem because it is easy and can be done in a few minutes.

    Satellite R630 has Intel HM55 chipset, and the maximum capacity is 8 GB. This means that you can install 4GB module in each memory location. Also an upgrade to 4 GB is not a problem, you can keep your 2 GB module and just buy a new 2 GB module. The module DDR3-10066 part number is PA3676U-1M2G.

    If you have more questions just after, again :)

  • Satellite 3000 - X 4: Question about RAM upgrade

    Hi all

    I'm looking for more information on how to upgrade the RAM for my SATELLITE S3000 - X 4 (120 MB RAM, 14 GB HD I think!). Here's a little history...

    This laptop is about 5 years old, and I'm hoping to speed up a bit. I don't want to buy a new computer because she usually serves my needs.

    I emptied my hard drive files and unwanted programs. And I ran Jv16 Power Tools to clean the registry and minimize starts the process.

    It's always a little slow and if I am considering upgrading the RAM because I think I can do this for about £50. My questions are:

    What type of upgrade RAM should I look to buy? (This laptop have 2 RAM "plug-ins" or just one?)
    What is the size of RAM upgrade is the maximum an S3000 - X 4 could face?
    Could a novice like me to adapt to the style DIY upgrade?

    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Gabrielle

    Hi Gabrielle

    He is old enough. I looked for some info, but unfortunately I n t have not found much. The device can use the 512 MB of RAM, and you can use 2 sticks of memory. I'm not 100% sure but I think you can use the module with tracking number PA3086U - 1. 25 M.

    The unit is not known to me but please check the underside. On most units, you can find coverage of memory.

    Hello

    If the manual indicates that only 2 GB are possible then you can move the RAM only to 2 GB (2 x 1 GB module)

    I thing the laptop supports the Intel 915 PM chipset and it supports 2 GB of RAM.

    > The Toshiba also recommends that RAM has quite ridiculous prices.

    Kingston modules are good quality RAM modules.
    Personally I always buy good quality RAM and I never had any problems of compatibility or performance.
    You can read here in the forum on the problems of compatibility as laptop RAM power not on after RAM upgrade or similar
    They always uses some modules at low cost.

    In general you can use the modules of DDR3 1066 MHz (PC3-8500).
