EliteBook 8540p: upgrade memory from 4 GB to 8 GB

Hello.

For the moment, I use memory 2 x 2 GB strips with my elite book but want to switch to 2 x 4 GB.

I know that my laptop is supported (only) PC3-10600 / memory at 1333 MHz, but I wonder if I still can't use more quick PC3-12800 / 1600 modules MHz but only gain rate supported, or is it takes exactly PC3-10600 / 1333 MHz modules?

I can change some values in the BIOS if it recognizes the fastest memory modules but works at the speed of support or should I rather get the 'right' modules and forget them faster?

Hello

I would get a few modules of 1333 MHz (recommend Corsair). We cannot change everything related to memory in the BIOS.

  • HP Elitebook 8540p: upgrade of RAM HP 8540p

    Hello

    I have a very special, HP Elitebook 8540p, running Windows 10 pro 64 bit on a processor intel i7 640 M dual core, and I'm confused as to the amount of RAM I can upgrade to.  I read that it can vary from 8 GB to 16 GB and beyond. My laptop has only two memory card capacity. The type of RAM cards are 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM.

    Any help would be fantastic. I'm trying to update my RAM to support the software of CAD 3D, which requires a minimum of 8 GB of ram, but I would like a little more if I could.

    Hello

    A table on page #16, your machine has only 2 slots so its 8 GB strips of RAM DDR3 Physclally Max supports are the same (pins, length,...).

  • HP g72 i3 m350: upgrade memory from 4 GB to 8 GB

    I received two chips memoy 4 GB and they would not work.  Verifed that they were seen by the system, but the system would not start.   Removed and tried a single, same problem.  Replace both 2 gb and it worked.   It seems unlikely that both are bad.

    This device should recognize and work with 8 GB or 4 gb chip, as it of a 64-bit using intel i3 and works win10 and do quite well with 4 GB but took the opportunity to upgrade and did not expect this problem.     Replacement chips come from a list, including the
    G72 and ar 4 GB ddr3 pc3-10600 sodimm / 1333 mhz which corresponds to the use of 2 GB.

    The point on this issue.   It is not resolved, but I decided to try the memory in another HP using an AMD processor that was older and a bit slower but it agreed to the memory and is very good in this unit of work.   It is interesting that the unit is NOT listed as being able to accept additional memory.

    The issue is clearly with this single unit, and it seems others have had a similar event.   While it is apparently isolated to this version of the G72.

  • Upgrade memory from 256 to 512 MB on Satellite Pro A60

    Just want to confirm really what I got caught once before buying the bad memory. I read another thread, so am sure I'm ok with that.

    OK, the RAM, I need for the upgrade of the Satellite A60 Pro is:
    200-pin SODIMM, DDR PC2700 Unbuffered CL2.5 (Non - ECC)

    Maplin:
    http://www.Maplin.co.UK/search.aspx?criteria=A31CG&doy=24m12
    A31CG DDR 2700 512M SODIMM

    http://www.crucial.com/UK/store/mpartspecs.asp?mtbpoid=04FE6CD8A5CA7304
    512MB 200-pin SODIMM, DDR PC2700 upgrade for the Toshiba Satellite Pro A60 Series notebook

    I don't think that 1GIG RAM is needed for my daughter :-)

    Note: On my main PC, I got defective Crutial Ballistix memory, but Crutial were very good replacing it for free.

    Thank you and a Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you on this forum.

    Ah, just another thing I'm not clear on.

    The NEW RAM replaces the existing, in other words I have remove the 256 and replace it with the 512? Reading the user manual, it is not clear and talks about expansion module. Probably, it would be obvious if I opened it to the top, but I'd rather not at this stage.

    Thank you

    I know about 2 GB limit but can I change something (BIOS upgrade or LIKED) to change this limit?

    Why BIOS can detect 4 GB but charge Vista RCA with it? Deadline is - what chipset?

    Can I fix it and what I should do?

    Hello

    As you say the laptop U300-153 can scale up to 2 GB max.
    I really surprised that the BIOS has detected that more than 2 GB and that the laptop was able to boot in windows. Usually the laptop should not start and begin with more than 2 GB of memory

    > Why BIOS can detect 4 GB but load Vista RCA with it? Deadline is - what chipset?
    > Can I fix it and what I should do?

    Usually it s a physical limitation (motherboard). and you will not be able to upgrade the memory to a higher value is not possible!

  • EliteBook 8540w: upgrade memory RAM EliteBook 8540w

    Hi, I want to upgrade the memory of 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) in my laptop. I have 2 slots of memory in the laptop.

    No. my laptop is WD927EA #ARL

    Intel Core i5 processor.

    I bought 2 x 4 GB PC3 - 10600 CL9 204 Pin SODIMM, but it does not work.

    No idea what to buy?

    Here is the Manual:

    Manual 8540w

    It's the 4 listed compatible GB module:

    4 GB (PC3-12800 1600 MHz, DDR3) 641369-001

    The DDR3-1600 is apparently supposed to downclock at 1333 mhz.

    The modules have been listed compatible and had complete specifications, that latency was listed as CL-11, so perhaps the CL-9 latency is the problem with your modules.

  • memory of HP elitebook 8440p upgrade question

    Hi all

    I have a quick question today, in fact I have a Hp Elitebook 8440p with core i5 and 2 GB of ram (samsung 2rx8 pc3-10600).

    and I am running windows 7 x 64 bit.

    so I decided to upgrade memory up to 8 GB and I install 2 x 4 GB (matched pair) (hynix 1rx8 pc3-10600). but it does not work. won't start and loop. and if I put original samsung 2GB new then its job well...

    I tried several times with all possible combinations, but it does not work. and if I go to the bios Setup, it shows 8 GB memory installed in it but can't get thorugh inside.

    I wonder what the problem of 2rx8 and 1rx8? because my old 2rx8 obtained original and new obtained 1rx8 on that...

    I'm really worried about it... Please help me soon... Thanks in advance

    I can't say 100% for sure, but yes, I think that the number of chips of memory to the Board of Directors may indicate density.

    The symptoms you describe indicate a problem of density to a "t".

    Memory shows in the BIOS, but the PC refuses to work with her.

    I suggested this to several others and cause when they bought the memory of lower density with 16 chips to the Board of Directors, their problem has been resolved.

  • Slot of RAM missing in EliteBook 8540p

    I need help to understand if I have been cheated.

    In my case, I have 4 GB installed in my EliteBook 8540p and it is only on the memory module connector.

    Recently, I planned to upgrade to 8 GB and that I have to install both modules to 4 GB (a location is limited to 4 GB) but I do not have a physical location.

    In the specification of the 8540 is written that there must be two or SODIMM four slots support dual channel memory.

    In my EliteBook 8540p there is one.

    Is there a solution?

    The module slot and soDimm primary memory is located under the keyboard. You have found the location of memory expansion module.

    You will need the Service & maintenance guide to use as a reference.

  • 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.
