General question: which limits the max RAM, you can install? Why is he still limited?

Hi all

I have a p7-1254 Pavilion with 8 GB of RAM installed. I thought that perhaps it would be better if I installed 16GB. Then I read the specs of my PC and it says "Supports 8 GB of RAM".

Why would it be limited? What is the reason RAM gets limited on some PCs?

Hello:

You are right. The maximum memory that can be installed in your PC is 8 GB.

Why is there a limit?

This is a hardware limitation of the motherboard chipset, or a limitation of the BIOS that cannot be changed.

Memory is limited to a certain extent in every PC.

As PC evolves a day 16 GB will be that 2 GB is now.

    Hello!

    It seems therefore that the laptop is already upgraded to the maximum RAM.

    I think that 4 GB of RAM should be sufficient for all applications on a laptop at the moment. :)

  • How to tell you how much ram you can install in your computor

    I have a Dell optiplex 330, Intel (r) Dual CPU and 1.98 GB of ram. How how can I install RAM? Thank you

    This kind of question is answered by the documentation of the manufacturer for your specific model.

    In your case, the answer is 4 GB: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/op330/en/ug/sdspecs.htm

    Read the Note about the maximum memory to the page linked so you will not be disappointed if you go out and buy more memory.  The actual amount of RAM reported by Windows XP, when there is physically installed 4 GB will be probably about 3.2 GB or more.  The exact amount will depend of various hardware devices installed on your computer use a part of the "memory address space" even if they do not use real RAM.

    Hello

    As far as I know the chipset is capable of managing the CPU

    Intel Core 2 Duo processor
    Intel Core Duo processor
    Processor Intel Pentium Dual Core
    Processor Intel Celeron M

    But as General, upgrading CPU is always a delicate procedure and it is possible that a higher temperature which is produced by a CPU stronger could affect the functionality of the laptop.

  • What is the max RAM I should update?

    Hello

    My system is a 27 "iMac i5 2.8 GHz with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM. Currently, I am now running Snow Leopard OS. My system has 1 CPU and 4 cores.

    If I had to use After Effects CS5, what is the maximum amount of RAM I should update?

    Someone told me that the max my system can use is 4 GB of RAM (which means no point me upgrading the RAM) because I have only 1 processor 4 cores. Is this correct? Otherwise, what is the max RAM I should update?

    Thank you very much, really appreciate a good answer.

    See you soon

    Mylenium wrote that told you about your system isn't true that your system is 64-bit and 64-bit will take as much RAM you can give him and after effects CS 5 can enjoy more RAM and works better with more RAM.

    Now a graphics card has in general not as much effect in improving the performance of EI, but with more VRam graphics will also help with open gl features.

    It is also an option your iMac takes 16 GB of RAM so your answer is 16GB is what you need and when they update the RAM and make it backwards compatible which will help as well. So keep an eye on the future. Because 16 GB cards can now get so when they do them for theMac they might mac them backward compatible.

    Hello:

    .. .and make sure that if you want to update the BIOS, do it before installing W7, or you will be brick the phone if you Flash the BIOS thereafter.

    Everyone sees this release note, after they install Windows 7, and they Flash BIOS.

    System requirements: Operating systems
    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
    Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition
    Microsoft Windows XP Professional
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic 32 Edition
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Edition

    Compatibility: Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Vista (64-bit), Microsoft Windows XP
    Fix/development: -Fixes an issue where a message that says to replace the battery is incorrectly displayed when upgrading the operating system to a Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.

    The good news is someone who is flashing the BIOS on a dv6000 and dv9000 notebook after installation of windows 7 doesn't have to worry about the problem of fake battery error more.

    The bad news is that they need a new notebook PC.

  • Find the max ram?

    have an old Compaq Presario SR1200NX, I want to upgrade. The hp website says that the max ram for this device is 1 GB (2x512mb), but all the stores online claim that the max is 2GB (2x1gb). Why are they different? They are just trying to sell me more ram? I tried 3 stores and they all say the same thing 2 GB max. Who is right?

    Both the HP motherboard specifications and the specifications indicate 1 GB maximum. You can take a chance on two dimms of 1 GB by train but understand the return policy before you buy.

    Your PC was built is 2004 so it is old enough to make improvements.

    You can, but it will not help you because the FSB is clocked at 800 Mhz and 1066 Mhz how fast would be clocked at 800 Mhz.
