HP DV6 Question Quad (RAM upgrade)

Hey guys,.

Here's my laptop.

I get conflicting documents on what exactly I can move the RAM to.

On these forums, poster says he can be upgraded to 16 GB. However, Crucial and the documentation just says HP 8 GB I think.

Anyone has any experience with this or know the answer?

Thank you!

  • 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!

    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.

  • Pavilion dv6-2010sa Notebook: RAM upgrade

    My HP Pavilion dv6 is really slow (especially when you use the internet with more than a couple of tabs open. I did a full audit of viruses, spyware, etc. - all clean. However, when I checked the system I have only 3 GB of RAM (2.75 usable).

    Increase the RAM would make a significant difference and if so what is the maximum I should buy (which would be effective)? It would also be very helpful if you can give advice if I should run extra RAM with what I already have or if I have to replace it. Finally, if you could tell me the name of the RAM should I buy and where can I buy it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Ben

    It will run up to 8 GB of RAM. This is the laptop DDR2-800 memory. This video shows the replacement of hard disk and memory so just pay attention to memory:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=koynICXjbzI

    DDR2 is very expensive. Here's the manual for your dv6:

    Manual

    Here is the Kingston showing page guaranteed compatible RAM:

    http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/compatible-upgrade-for/HP-Compaq/Pavilion-DV6-2010sa

    As you can see, 8 GB is well over $200. Personally, because I'm cheap, I would buy a single module of 2 gig and increase the total RAM of 4 GB or, to be sure it works with maximum efficiency, buy a 4 GB kit if you have 2 identical bars. A 4 GB kit is 'only' $ 56, and it is a reasonable investment. 4 concerts will be significantly better than 3. You might also think of a reinstallation of the operating system. Computers a naturally slow down with age that the registry fills up with junk. There are a few settings, you can clean up the start menu and other things less an OS reinstall.

  • Satellite M40x-149 - Question about RAM upgrade

    Currently, I have 512 MB of RAM and want to upgrade. The jury of the RAM has two screws, should I take this and replace it with an upgrade of RAM, or leave the original in and put the new in the slot on top?

    Thank you.

    Hi RareOz,

    The amount of RAM you want after upgrade?
    If you want a maximum of 1 GB of RAM for example, you can leave the original RAM in and buy 512 MB additional RAM.

    But as far as I know M40x supports up to 2 GB of RAM, and that's why it would be necessary to install the module of RAM of 1 GB in each slot. That's why you need two new modules.

    The specification is PC2700 SO - DIMM DDR - RAM.

  • Satellite Pro A100: Question about RAM upgrade and warranty

    I just bought my machine and Ive decided to install some more ram. No one knows if it will affect my Gurentee. I can't find anything on the Web site on this topic. Should I get a Toshiba to install official repairman or something?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Please check you user manual. Usually, the slot memory must be placed at the bottom of the unit. If you remove the cover, you should see the slots.
    Usually memory upgrade procedure is described in the user manual so you can upgrade the memory yourself and the procedure of upgrading doesn t affect your warranty.
    But please make sure you use the right modules.
    However, you can also contact Toshiba for the upgrade of memory.

    The laptop can be upgraded up to 2 GB. You can use the module of RAM 1 GB max in a memory slot!

    The laptop seems to support FSB 533 MHZ and so I should be possible to use the 533 Mhz memory modules too

  • Qosmio F10: Question about RAM upgrades

    Hello

    I have a laptop Qosmio F10, and it crashed in the summer 2006, so I sent it to Toshiba and changed it the motherboard. I got a new version with the nVidia card 6600 and I have 2x512MB PC2700S DDR - RAM (the one that came with it, the one I added).

    Recently, I managed to find a buyer for these Rams, to switch to 2 x 1 GB, so my question is: can the motherboard handle faster DDR - RAM (with 400 MHz instead of 333 MHz like the ones I have) or should I just stick with the same model (PC2700 - 333 MHz)?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I recommend you to install a program of diagnosis of equipment as Everest Home edition for example. Then check how fast the bus (FSB) front supports.

  • HP dv6-1354us: failed to upgrade memory RAM DV6-1354us

    Hello

    I just bought a 8 GB Patriot Signature DDR3 PC3 - 10600 (1333 MHz) Double Data Rate single module Non-ECC Unbuffered SODIMM 1.5V power required for my laptop that, according to the specifications of the product, taken Max memory supported is 8 GB. (but don't know if the 8 we can be in a slot or if it takes 2 x 4 GB)

    When I plugged the only module Ram laptop (after all procedures safe to change modules) and turn on the machine, remains but no signal video, it did not show the HP logo, I waited several minutes to see if the system needed time to update new material but without good result. So I want to ask what could be the problem? or If someone could tell me on the type memory to buy and upgrade. I tried this module of Ram of Patriot in the other laptop and it actually works, so there is no problem with that. y at - it a way to make this module works by maybe update the Bios of the computer laptop (im) using the F.36 version or any other solution?

    Any help will be appreciated, thanks for your time.

    either by the way, I checked with manufacturers of CRUCIAL and they suggested different modules DDR3 PC3 - 12800 1600 Mhz Ram upgrade, so I thought that adaptation PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz module should have worked, im confused.

    You are the very welcome.

    I think that this could be the problem, or the 4 GB memory you just tried is of a different voltage (1.35v), either a too high density.

    Your laptop needs memory low density (low density normally distinguished by the chips of black small 8 memory on each side of the circuit board) and 1.5 V memory needs.  The 1.35v (DDR3L) memory may not work on older chipsets.

    Higher density memory has usually 4 small black chips on each side of the circuit board.

  • 700 - 281eo envy: RAM upgrades and guaranteed

    Hello!

    So I have a question regarding the upgrade of my computer.

    I recently had a problem when it comes to my RAM. It seems that 8 GB of RAM is not enough, that I use my computer for (mainly play games etc...), as I had many accidents because of the low amount of available ram (for example 4 Fallout, which uses almost all of it).

    So my question is: if I have the RAM on my computer upgrade me a 16 GB Kit, my warranty is void? And would do no matter what kit of RAM, or I have to use strips of crucial ram?

    Also on the side in question, if I decide in the future to update my graphics card to a GTX 1060 (which uses 70W less than my current 270 R9) that manages the more wins.

    Thank you for reading!

    @Robert_B

    Adding memory wouldn't void your warranty. "Unless you break something, do the upgrade".

    You can use any memory manufacturer provided they meet your specifications.

    ● 204-pin DDR3-DIMM

    ● DDR3 PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) SDRAM memory

    ● Unbuffered non ECC DIMMS (64-bit)

    ● 1, 5V dead memory

    ● 16.0 GB maximum installable memory help

    4 GB modules. Actual available memory that

    can be used in Windows will be less.

  • 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 :)

  • A few questions about the upgrade on Satellite A300-144

    Sorry for the typos, English is not my mother tongue.
    I want to ask some questions about the upgrade of a300-144.

    * Some info first.*

    CPU: T2370 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/34445/Intel-Pentium-Processor-T2370-1M-Cache-1_73-GHz-533-MHz-FSB]).
    Chipset: GM965 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/29821/Intel-82GM965-Graphics-and-Memory-Controller]).

    * Questions.*

    1. my frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    2 Intel said that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?

    3 I know, taken of my CPU is μFCPGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 ([http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB]) is a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    > 1. My frequency of laptop memory at 533 MHz, supports 667 MHz memory controller, memory modules can work at 667 MHz. Is - this because CPU FSB 533 MHz frequency and new processor at 667/800 MHz FSB will fix it or it is hardcoded in the BIOS?

    The speed of the memory is related on the material. This means that the FSB is responsible for the limitation.
    If the FSB would allow support 667 MHz then the memory would also at this speed.

    > 2. Intel says that the size of max memory for my chipset is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB), but Toshiba says that only 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), who is right?
    The memory depends on the chipset. So if the chipset supports 4 GB of RAM, you should be capable of this move to 4 GB of RAM

    > 3. I know, my CPU is? FC-PGA-478 aka socket P, max FSB 800 MHz, max 35 W TDP, so T9500 (http://ark.intel.com/products/33918/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T9500-6M-Cache-2_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB) will be a compatible processor or there are some limitations in the BIOS?

    It might be possible that the new processor would be fully supported by the BIOS, but in most cases it should not be a problem if the chipset would support the new processor.
    But as far as I know the upgrade of the CPU is not supported by Toshiba or any other manufacturers of portable and its your own risk to run laptop with the new processor.
