HP Pavilion dv6730en Hardware Upgrade

Hello

I have a HP Pavilion dv6730en I want to upgrade. When I bought it, it had Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) but I recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) and thought why not also increase the RAM at least. Currently, it has 1 GB of RAM and would like to know the maximum RAM. I did some research and this is what I found:

According to the product page, the maximum RAM is 2 GB. (If need be check following link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01326425).

If it was what I found, I wouldn't bother you, but I've also met the following page (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00820047) that connects maximum RAM for the operating system. (I chose the dv6730en as my product so I suppose that the page was thought to make the product as well).

Is maximum depends on RAM hardware or software?

Kindly advice because I do not want to buy two 2 GB modules and make account work or buy two modules of 1 GB and discover it could further support.

PS: Sorry for the long post!

I think that the service and maintaince guide, which indicates the maximum of 4 GB of support... The only problem, I confirmed to you, is because I don't have the camera with me now, check to see if something that I was hoping I could get from somewhere...

  • HP Pavilion dv 6000: hardware upgrade for hp pavilion dv 6000

    I have an old hp pavilion dv 6000, I recently upgraded to windows 7 and everything works well, but I would like to make the hardware upgrades as well.

    I want to move to maximum capacity, specifically: processor, graphics card, hard drive, and wireless network card.

    If someone can provide me with a list of known compatible with my system hardware would be great, I'll also be open to any suggestion of additional hardware upgrade if someone propose

    Hello

    Two things, you will not be able to upgrade: display the card and wireless network card.

    (a) graphics card: we cannot spend more than 90% of laptops, including yours,

    (b) wireless network adapter: your machine was built before the mid-2014, the whitelist prevents you to upgrade the wireless card.

    Now, you have 2 items to upgrade (maybe 3): hard drive and the processor (CPU) (and maybe RAM)

    (a) HARD drive: any 2.5 "HDD or even SSDS with 9.5 mm or less. SSD is more expensive but faster. HHD, please select the one that has RPM faster (7200 RPM), large cache (more is better). They are numerous on the following list including SSD:

    http://www.centrecom.com.au/notebook-hard-drives

    (b) for the processor, please use following 5-69 of the manual page to buy the right part of HP. Please do not ask me why to buy at HP.

  • HP pavilion p6777c: what upgrades would work better with my system

    I have a Hp Pavilion p6777c and I love the update for my children and a woman who plays world of warships, world of tanks and of second life what hardware upgrades can I do and stay within my budget of less than 400 dollars?

    Indy76, welcome to the forum.

    The processor is good.  I do not recommend change.  You can add more memory.  This is recommended by Crucial memory memory .  In addition, if you want to increase the speed, a new SSD better.  The essential link, he recommends SSD.  The MX200, 250 GB, SSD for $99 would be very good.  There is a guide for upgrading to a 2.5 "SSD in to the lower left corner of the page.  You would need an adapter to install a 2.5 SSD "in a 3.5 drive Bay".  If Crucial recommends they guarantee that it will work.

    If you upgrade the video card, you will also need to upgrade the power supply (PSU).  The most recent video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The last series of video cards that does not need UEFI was the GT of the 640.  If you like the card, I recommend that you contact EVGA Tech Support (1-800-880-3842) in order to ensure that it will work on your computer.

    I love Of the PSU from Corsair.  I recommend at least 500W.  It would give you some excess power for maximum use.  The one in the link is modular.  It allows you to use only the necessary cables for a better air circulation.

  • Pavilion g7-1368dx upgrade to A8 - 3500M, does not start

    My Pavilion g7-1368dx came with a processor A6 - 3420M.  I have the BIOS f.52 (works very well for months).  I tried to upgrade the processor to an A8 - 3500M (same 35W TDP, socket FS1, and turbo 1.5GHz/2.4GHz) for a boost of graphics (400 vs 320 shader cores).  It is listed in the service manual.

    With the A8 - 3500M installed, the laptop does not start.  The screen remains off while the Num and caps lock flashing at regular intervals indefinitely.  There are _no_ beeps, as if an error code has been given.  The fan works.  There is no disk activity.  I repeated attempts with other components disconnected one at a time to eliminate other possible sources of the problem, until it was just the processor on the card (without RAM, HD, DVD, wireless card).  I got the same results.

    Then I reinstalled the A6 - 3420M.  Without the other components, the system flashes both the NumLock and caps lock shift and beeps for appropriate error codes.  Other components reinstalled, it works fine.

    Is there something special I need to do to get this to work with my laptop processor?  For the moment, I think that the new processor is bad.  But I want to check something to try before I return it.

    Thanks for any help.

    The service manual for the G7 laptop series and is not exclusive to the g7-1368dx model. Different models within the family of the G7 uses different hardware and supports different hardware upgrade paths. This means that an element in the maintenance manual is not necessarily supported for each model of the family of the G7.

    Is the product number of the laptop A7A46UA?

    If so, the motherboard with this unit provided is 649948-001 such listed in the service guide. All the parts for this unit are here.

    I searched the part number 669690-001, the A8, a HP PartSurfer processor and expanded the note at the bottom of the result page to see what units came with this processors. I looked at three different models, and each of them had the motherboard 649950-001.

    Documentation that came with the A8 Processor units had a motherboard different than what the units supplied with the processor A6.

    Due to the A8 units having a different motherboard as the units of the A6, I suspect that the motherboard has your device does not actually support the A8 processor. I'm sorry.

  • Tecra S3: hardware upgrade - CPU, RAM, HARD drive

    Hello

    I just got a laptop from my company and it's 2 a bit slow for what I do, so please advise me on a hardware upgrade or point me in the right direction to ask this question.

    My Tecra is S3 model PTS30E - 01P01CG3 Y5120397H series, it is about three years old and I would like to upgrade:

    1 - CPU Intel Pentium M1.86 gHz, I can replace it with a dual core or core 2 duo of?
    The motherboard does it take? What is the most powerful CPU it can use?

    2-ram memory is 1 GB and I want to place as much as possible. 2 GB is the best that I can place?
    Can you recommend a brand of RAM which would give exceptional results?

    3-disk HARD 80 GB comes, and I also want to know if I can replace it with a bigger?
    Than do options GB 120 GB, 160 GB, I have more? These HDD fit as the size in my laptop?

    4-If you have any other recommendation of dope performance, please let me know.

    I live in Romania, I'm not sure where can I make these upgrades. What is the nearest place?

    Thank you and have a nice day.
    Florin.

    Hello Florin

    Tecra S3 is old enough laptop model, and expect too much with upgrades, especially with the CPU. Of way General CPU cannot be upgraded and perhaps should not be upgraded. Each laptop model has a specific design and cooling modules are optimized for the specific hardware platform.

    1. so, for you it is important to have the laptop stable without damaging the hardware. Okay, just for the record
    Tecra S3 comes with separate Intel Mobile Pentium-M processors - [1.73GHz/1.86GHz/2.0AGHz (0.748-1.356V)/2.13GHz (0, 748 - 1.372V))]
    [/ 2.26 GHz (0, 748 - 1.404V)] and these processors operate at 533 MHz bus clock.
    Update CPU not is also not supported if forget it. The CPU you have inside is powerful enough. What you need is more RAM and perfectly configured and optimized operating system.

    2 RAM can be upgraded up to 2 GB and it is not the problem. You can use 2 x 1 GB RAM DDR2-400/533 1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G).
    This RAM is tested and works perfectly with your Tecra S3 of will be.

    3 disk HARD upgrade is also not problematic. Tecra S3 uses SATA HDD and you can improve it with more than 120 GB. I'm 100% sure that you can use 160 GB with no problems.
    In my opinion, that's good enough. Isn t it? ;)

    4. optimize the operating system. Disable all unnecessary background processes and your Tecra will be working perfectly.

    >.. .i don't know where I can make these upgrades.
    Do it alone. It is not so complicated. If you need help let us know.
    Good bye

  • Hardware upgrade of 4 servers windows 2003 7

    I just upgraded my Commvault software to version 9, with de-DUP.

    I noticed that my CF band is only changing to 100bm Brook.

    I read on the hardware upgrade to version 7.

    I have 14 VM to upgrade all the 2003 win. All have the latest tool installed 4.1

    Is there a there has been has I should look for before I start to put it off?

    before upgrade you the virtual hardware, you must upgrade the comment of VMware tools.  In an engine, the customer is off State, you can upgrade the virtual hardware.  From there on, turn on the prompt, login, let windows find all new device drivers and then restart again.  Here you connect and remove all devices shaded in Device Manager... Usually, restart us once more after that.

    With regard to the witch hunt.  If you are concerned, you can always snapshot the prior comments to the upgrade and if there are problems, return back.

    See the KB article how to properly uninstall the old drivers

  • ESXi host and VM hardware upgrades

    Hi all

    I pretty well know the answer to these questions (I like to read manuals), but I just wanted a few reassuring those who have ventured in front me.

    1 / when the upgrade to ESXi hosts of 3.5 to 4.0, it is my understanding that there is no real emergency in the upgrade of the host of the virtual computer (tools and hardware to version 7) as vSphere 4.0 will run happily with the older virtual machine (but without the new features).  However, I am wondering if anyone has experienced problems do not upgrade the machine virtual shortly after the upgrade of the host.  My intention is to do it very shortly after, but sometimes the best-laid plans go out the window in my role, so I'd feel comfortable if I new I could run the old VM indefinitely without any problem.

    2 / how 'security' is upgraded version of the VM from 4 to 7 material?  VMware I don't expect any problems, but I would like to know if anyone has experienced problems that can cause interruptions of service extended to the VM guest.

    Thanks in advance,

    Steve.

    1. I would separate between VMware tools and hardware upgrade. New tools not only to upgrade virtual hardware drivers, they also inflating to update and other features VMware uses to communicate with the guest operating system. In my opinion, you should pass the VMware tools as soon as possible. I can't say for sure if you have any questions without upgrading. My personal opinion/experience, is that during the "normal" old tools will.

    The hardware upgrade should not too important. In environments with hundreds of guests, you will actually have to update all hosts (in a cluster) material in order not to lose the capacity of invited guests 3.5 vMotion.

    2. the only issues I've had so far with the upgrade of the hardware have been networked. I had a few VMs to reconfigure the network manually after the upgrade.

  • Snapshot before VM hardware upgrade?

    Hello people,

    I read a lot of conflicting information around it, so thought I would ask here.

    We are going to be upgrade to vSphere 4.0 soon and of course will focus on the hardware upgrade of the virtual computer to version 7.

    Now, if I take a snapshot before you do the upgrade of HW and it goes pearshaped can I go back to the snapshot and the server will work?

    Or is it a one-way change, even with a snapshot in place?

    Same Xtravirt, which are usually about money, seems a bit confusing:

    ()http://xtravirt.com/do-i-upgrade-vmware-virtual-hardware-version-7( )

    They say:

    "When you upgrade virtual hardware version 3 to version 7, the upgrade is irreversible, even if you take a backup of virtual machine or a snapshot before you perform the upgrade.

    Then later in the same article:

    "using snapshots will give you the opportunity to come back if there is a problem."

    Thanks in advance.

    HW version 3 refers to the VM for instance ESX 2.x (see KB1003746 - versions of virtual machine hardware)

    I never upgraded to this version, so I can't say whether this is true or not. However, it is possible to return to a HW version 4 improved virtual computer. VUM proposes explicitly to take a snapshot before upgrading hardware.
