Help! Dim E520 RAM upgrade Confusion!

Currently 512 MB of RAM, Vista Home Basic 32-bit running. I would like to go back at least 2 giga. Having never open my CPU, I ran the scan "crucial" revealing that since property (1 year) I had been using a slot with a ram of 512 mb, DDR PC2-5200stick and 3slots empty! I had read previously Ram of E520 must be run in pairs (2x256mb hypothesis), so I was insufficient "out of the box"? DDR2 PC2-5300 SDRAM was recommended to me. Y at - it a diff between DDR and DDR2?

To upgrade desired that I should: a) a match for current location 1, then get a 1gig for slot3 (using 3 slots)?

(b) remove the slot 1 (512 MB), replacing it with 1gig RAM x2slots?

(c) add two 1Gig RAM sticks in slots 3and4, leaving 2 empty slot

(d) find 512 match for slot2, then, 2 x 1Gig for machines slot 3and4, for3gRAM?

    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.

  • HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF: RAM upgrade

    Hello!

    I tried to replace the 4 GB of RAM, upgrade to 8 GB with a pair of G.Skill. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out as planned, instead, I had a series of beeps and a black screen. RAM details below:

    old RAM: Samsung M378B5273CH0-CK0

    4GB 2Rx8 PC3-12800U-11-10-B0 1.5V

    New RAM: G.SKILL RipJaws X

    F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL

    PC3-12800 4GBx2

    CL9-9-9-24 1.5V

    The Rams are not compatible with the system or are there other factors that could have caused it?

    Claude, welcome to the forum.

    Here's Maintenance and Service Manual for the computer.  On Page 94, you will find the section of memory for the computer.  Please read it carefully.  What I've read, only seems to me that the new memory is compatible with the motherboard.  I think that the timings are incorrect.

  • Lenovo B590: RAM upgrade is not detected

    Hi all

    Yesterday, I bought a chip of PC3-12800 CL11 204 pins SODIMM RAM Kingston 4 GB of my local store of hardware because I wanted to update my Lenovo B590 memory, which - by default - has 4 GB of DDR3 RAM installed. I have double checked if memory was compatible with my B590 calling Lenovo support and searching the Web (which gives this message, for example). The two sources confirmed the upgrade should not be a problem if I did not exceed the limit of 8GB. However, after that I had plugged the RAM, I found that it was not recognized by my OS (Windows) and my BIOS. They are always saying that I only have the factory installed 4096MB.
    How can I make my system use this RAM upgrade? Please help, you have my gratitude!

    Note: when I determine which RAM to buy, I've checked also which type of memory was already installed in my B590 by the manufacturer. I unscrewed my notebook and found a chip, brand Hynix memory, I assumed it was a single 4GB chip. However, the search results for of his series on the web show it is in fact a DDR3 SDRAM 2 GB chip. I checked my hardware, but could not see any other chip (even though I'm 100% sure that my system has 4 GB of RAM installed by the manufacturer). If this has nothing to do with the above? Thanks again!

    RESOLVED: The RAM chip is not inserted properly in the additional location. All works fine now.

    I recently bought a HP Split X 2 of Best Buy, and I like it so far.  I read in the preliminary comments for this product that the CPU can be i3 or i5, RAM can be upgraded up to 8 GB and a hard drive can be placed in the keyboard.  I realize that it is a new product, but is anyone know yet if these upgrades can be done after purchase?  My Split X 2 is now configured with 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB memory SSD and an i3.

Here's the problem; While the bios memory being recognized (4096 MB), what the task manager of the total physical memory is only 2046 MB! I also did the update to the BIOS, but it didn't work. The new memory I plugged in has the same features with one installed. The only difference is the manufacturer, the new is Kingston.

    I would be so grateful if you could help...

    Thank you in advance,

    Nick Chatzikonstantinou

    Hi, Nick:

    One of our experts at the top of the forum (DavidPK) page suggested that you look at this solution to the question of memory you meet...

    I quote David:

    "In the system startup tab Configuration screen, the Advanced Options, it proved that there is a check mark in the maximum memory box.  Once removed and the applied change, Windows recognized all the Ram (less the reserved) after the reboot. »

    If please give than to try and post back and let us know if that frees a memory system for you.

  • 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 :)
