Hey @HPIsha,

I recommend 2 x 4 GB. Your system is a maximum of 8 GB of RAM. Your guide showed you how to change the memory. Very easy.

Thank you.

  • The upgrade of RAM will improve the speed side Windows and Mac?

    I use VMware fusion for music production and this program requires plenty of work. I have a MacBook Pro 4 GB of ram and when I turn on VMware it goes to 2 GB of ram in Mac and 2 GB ram under windows. My Mac's speed is normal when VMware fusion is off but when I turn on my Mac is very slow. The upgrade of ram will improve the speed on mac and also windows (windows is also very slow)

    BTW, my English is not very good

    Well, take a peek in the Windows Task Manager to see how much memory is required/used. If an operating system requires more memory available, it will start to swap out the disk, which will introduce a huge performance impact. If the answer to your question is probably yes.

    PS: After adding memory to the host, you must also change the client memory for the virtual machine.

    My PC model # is G42-490TU, processor - Intel Core (TM) i3 CPU M370,
    RAM: 6.00 GB (2.93 usable), System Type: 32-bit operating system.

    I want to know if this 2.93 GB of 6,00 GB usable the correct value of the memory that is made available?

    Also, I want to know what changes can I see or wait after upgrading the RAM from 2.00 to 6.00 GB where 2.93 GB is usable? How does this improve the effectiveness of my PC? Is there something that needs to be done on my own apart from adding the RAM to increase performance and the maintenance of my PC?

    The problem is the operating system of your laptop is 32-bit.

    A 32-bit operating system can use @ 3.25 GB installed memory.

    Install additional 4 GB to a laptop that had 2 GB was a regrettable mistake.

    As long as the 4 GB memory module you have is compatible, you'd better remove the 2 GB module and put the 4 GB module in its place.

    You won't find a lot of improvement with the current configuration of a 2 GB module and a 4 GB module. With this memory configuration does not work in dual channel mode.  You would be better with two modules of 4 GB, but this is only if you upgrade your operating system to a 64-bit version.

    In fact, you would have improved if your OS is 64-bit. A 64-bit Windows operating system will recognize and use the installed memory.

    If you really want to improve the performance of the laptop, you should consider upgrading to a SATA SSD 256 GB drive at least.

  • Satellite P10 804 will not accept the upgrade of RAM

    Apologies, this is it is a bit long and also if this question has been covered elsewhere here: I had a good nose autour and have not found something that seems to help.

    In any case, I had a Satellite P10 804 during these past years, I bought in the United Kingdom.

    Quite early in my time with this laptop, I upgraded the RAM. It was 3 or 4 years ago, when memory was not as cheap right now, so I bought just a single 1 GB module. P10-804 will take up to 2 GB of RAM.

    The P10 804 came with 512 GB as standard in two modules. My upgrade means I got 1.25 GB, which was in very good health. Everything was fine until the end of last year when the defective laptop; I followed the fault in module 1 GB of RAM. It was a bit awkward since I now live in New Zealand. However, the provider of the RAM was very professional, stood by their warranty, and we arranged a swap. RAM prices had fallen, so I bought another module of 1 GB at the same time upgrade the laptop completely.

    Now the problems really started. The laptop would not simply work with the new installed RAM modules. It would work with one alone, nor even less with my old configuration of a module of 1 GB and 256 GB module. Start and run for five minutes before a freeze; white screen with fans roar; blue screen; frozen screen normal with strange objects; No start at all. everything.

    Everything that works now is my original 256 MB module (his partner disappeared). This leads me to assume that I don't have some sort of hardware failure?

    1 GB modules are DDR333 SODIMM, CL2.5. This laptop will also have the DDR266 modules, and it has been suggested to me, lower speed might work. I can try this option since the RAM prices are * really * low now, especially if I get confirmation of this as a valid strategy possible.

    The laptop BIOS is updated to v2.00 (maybe?), and I also upgraded the HDD to a 120 GB unit (this works very well and is partitioned for XP and Linux). And from time to time I empty the fan.

    Any advice welcome. Thanks for reading.

    Reading your message, I came to the conclusion that this issue must be linked to the new RAM module and this module is malfunctioning or is not fully compatible with your laptop.

    The P10 can be upgraded to 2 GB, so you should be able to use two single RAM 1 GB modules

    So it must be a module problem

  • Laptop computer ZE5700 The wired connection is not picking up or connection/Can the upgrade of RAM at 2-4 GB

    Help, please. I am preparing my very old laptop that I found in my garage for a work at home job contract. I decided to see if this is true for her to make the laptop to meet the minimum requirements before as I have buy a modernized one. I have no problems with the Wi - Fi connection and I wish it was one of the requirements. But the laptop should be wired. I plugged my ethernet cable in the assigned location, it shows that it is running, because there is a green/yellow light in the port. Even if the CAP is turned on and is, it does not show as a network.

    Also can I take the RAM at least 2 to 4 GB

    Thank you

  • Some problems with the upgrade of RAM on Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

    Hello

    My laptop is Lenovo ThinkPad T500 and its main features as follows:

    -Processor Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 (2.53 GHz, 1066 MHz, 6MBL2).

    - 4 GB PC3 - 8500 DDR3 SDRAM 1067 MHz SODIMM Memory (2 DIMM).

    -ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 with 256 MB.

    I really need to upgrade the RAM to work with SharePoint 2010 and Windows Server 2008 R2. and my big question is:

    * How many memory locations that I have in my Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

    I read on (http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-55644#t) that the maximum memory size for T500 is 8 GB.

    Yes, in case if my Lenovo ThinkPad T500 laptop has only two memory slots, so, I'll have to buy 2 memory cards of ThinkPad 4 GB PC3-8500 DDR3 Low-halogen SO-DIMM, in order to get the 8 GB... and I have to throw my current memory cards...

    My other question is:

    * Is easy to install/remove RAM in Lenovo ThinkPad T500?

    Sorry to ask the second question, but I have never dealt with before material.

    I would appreciate your inputs.

    Thank you for your consideration of my request and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

    The T500 has only two slots of RAM, so the upgrade to 8 GB would mean that your two existing 2 GB modules would need to be removed.

    Replacement of the RAM is simple; Remove the four screws for the Palm and the locations of memory will be under the palm rest.

    See the HMM for more detailed instructions: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-70068.html

  • XPS 8700 does not start after the upgrade memory RAM

    Dear members of the Forum.

    I have a XPS 8700 with the following specifications:

    Core i7 4770 k

    2 TB HARD DRIVE

    16 GB of Ram (4 x 4 GB)

    NVidia GTX 660 (1.5 GB)

    BIOS version A10 (later).

    RAM sticks in my current system are all Micron Tech (here) 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s.

    I had two RAM modules of tech Micron (here) 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3 12800 240pin 1.5V 1600 MT/s so that I can move on to a total of 24 GB.

    After the discussion here and here, I installed the modules in slots 1 & 2 (both white) so that the system is not able to start. Not even got the bios screen. I also tried 3 & 4 configuration (both black) I ran my computer with the two 8 GB sticks only, with the same unfortunate results.

    I also saw that it is a normal problem of compatibility problems between the types of ram, but I consider that this is not the case. In addition, bad positioning of the modules is not also the case because if I put my old ram glue the computer starts normally.

    I used tape you will static isolation.

    Is the problem, a problem of compatibility between my computer and the RAM modules?

    If the RAM is damaged does these effects (do not start)?

    How can I check if the RAM modules are damaged?

    What would be your suggestions?

    I thank very you much in advance!

    Mauricio

    Hmm, I'd say you two bad sticks of RAM.  If the system POST even with them, I would swap them if you can.  We know that the RAM slots work because you have 4 x 4 sticks without any problem and your computer can take up to 32 GB of RAM.  Your admission that you bought the right kind of RAM, voltage, and speed, etc., so that shouldn't be a problem.  I would say as bad RAM.  When you do not install, just check that you make pairs in each of the colored slots, for example. matching pairs in the slot of white and black.

  • advice on the upgrade required

    Hi all
    We are now on windows server 2003 and 10.2.0.1.0 oracle
    We intend to upgrade to 11g r2
    What are the things I need to know?
    I also think the upgrade guide
    the document says that we must be to 9.2.0.8 database, Oracle 10.1.0.5 and 10.2.0.2 Database Oracle database b.11.11
    given that mine is not one of those that would be the best approach
    size of DB that I need to upgrade is quite small
    Thanks in advance

    Yes - see the installation Guide for the pl - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24281/toc.htm#BGBEEBAD

    As mentioned, you have two options.

    1. apply the 10.2.0.2 patch, then use DBUA upgrade to 11.2.0.3
    2. the export of 10.2.0.1, create a new 11.2.0.3 empty database, import in 11.2.0.3

    These two steps require that you install 11.2.0.3 in a separate and new ORACLE_HOME before performing these steps.

    Q2 - can spare 1 GB waiting in my book up is 32-bit upgrade to 64-bit?

    Q3-How can I upgrade CPU 32-bit to 64-bit?

    And just need to confirm a report of R2D2 on notice the guy with A200 - 14 d that have 'problem with RAM', which is similar to my confusion-

    Bq. "... The laptop was equipped 667 Mhz modules, but the FSB supports 533 Mhz max. That's why the modules run max with the speed of 533 Mhz (dual channel)... »

  • On the upgrade of RAM on Aspire E5 - 471G...

    Hello

    Just bought my first laptop Acer E5 - 471G and I would like to add another 4 GB of RAM, it is native 4 GB.

    I was wondering if upgrading RAM by myself will void the warranty?

    There are some brands of ram sticks as Acer laptops computers prefer? Should the two slots have the same number of GB of RAM on each stick?

    Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
