HP Pavilion g6-2249wm Notebook: RAM upgrade question

When I ordered my laptop a few years, there is, it came with 4 GB of RAM standard, but you could spend up to a maximum of 8 GB to 6 GB. I bought it with 6 GB. I want to move to 8 GB, and I know there are 2 RAM slots in the laptop. My question is, did they use a 6 GB stick in one of the slots or the fact that they use a 4 gb one and one 2g in the other? Im hoping to get a response, so I don't have to open it up and look for myself. I don't know if I should order a 2 GB or 4 GB a stick to get up to 8 GB.  That being said, someone knows if HP would be put in a 6 GB stick or run a 4 GB and 2 GB as a whole? IM assuming they put in a single 6 GB and I just need to buy a upgrade 2bg. Thank you

Moreover, it would go better if I just replaced it and got a bar of 8 GB of RAM?

I can tell without looking or read whatever it is, that it isn't just a 6 gig of memory because those who are not 'a thing' as the kids say. You can actually get a software called Belarc Advisor to do the dirty work and interrogate the locations of memory and tell you what is in it or them.

But since there is no 6 concert sticks; only 2, 4 and 8, we know that you have a 2 gig and a 4 GB and you can mix the 2 and add a 4.

The laptop will not support 8 modules of concert and it will work better with 2 of the same size due to something called mode memory dual channel which is only used when you have two identical modules. So yes, you need to duplicate the existing 4 GB module for a total of 8 and you will see a modest but noticeable improvement in speed.

  • HP Pavilion g6-1304sv Notebook: RAM upgrade

    Hello, again!

    This time, I would like to ask a question about RAM. I have this laptop... HP Pavilion g6-1304sv Notebook... and I want to add some memory to my 4 GB I have already. My laptop is a RAM like this... AData 4 GB 1333 MHz PC3-10600. So my question is: do I have to add an another AData, exactly the same thing? Can I add a RAM from another manufacturer, I don't know, like the one used... MUSHKIN 4 GB DIMM DDR3 PC3-10666 1333 MHZ... ? They are basically the same, I think, I mean 1600 PC3 is like PC3 10666, right? Is there a problem here?

    I would like your opinion on the matter, thank you!

    The Mushkin from newegg for $15.99 works perfectly. The Adata and the Mushkin as you note are essentially the same and will work together.

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119tx HARD drive upgrade question

    Hi all

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 6119 notebook tx. I am facing a SMART hard disk error and I need to replace it with a new hard drive. It currently has a capacity of 640 GB 5400 RPM HDD Toshiba. All I want to know is can I replace it with a 1 TB hard drive, 7200 RPM (with SATA 6.0 GB/s)? May be I have to 5400 RPM (with SATA 3.0 Gbit/s)?

    Hi kiranmanju

    After some reading on this subject, I think I'll go with MistaB.

    SSDS and hard drives are treated in the same way by the operating system, and they are easily interchangeable. So no, you shouldn't have any problems during the installation of a faster 7200 RPM drive to replace your current drive to 5400 RPM.

    There are only a few things you need to know when buying a compatible disc:
    (A) interface: the vast majority of readers is SATA, and it is what you need
    (B) 2.5 "or 3.5": the first is for laptops, the latter is for desktop computers
    (C) drive height: most of the hard drives 2.5 "are 9.5 mm, and it's what fits most laptops. Some high-capacity drives are 12.5 mm

    Other than that, the rest of the variables are related to performance.

    but I can't guarantee anything of it now. I don't really know why then the user's Guide for your product just omitted part of 7200 RPM if they do not harm anyway. I recommend that contact HP technical support for more details.

    Thank you

  • Pavilion dv7-2050sm: SSD and RAM upgrade questions

    Hello

    I have two question about upgrading my laptop. I use it for web surfing, movies, some excellent/word work etc... for the most part on a regular basis.

    (1) I have seen that my RAM can be upgraded to 8 GB. Currently, I am working at 1333 MHz 4RAM. If I buy 2 x 4 GB 1600 MHz will it work on this laptop, I went into the BIOS and have not seen that I can change the speed of ram anywhere nor has seen how much can this support for portable computers, so should I buy 1x4Go 1333 MHz instead if it only supports 1600 MHz.

    (2) can I put my disk HARD 700 GB Seagate 5400 RPM SATA II 3.0 Gbps with Samsung 850EVO 250 GB SSD? I know that SATA III drives are retro-compatible meaning can work on SATA II but is it useful, how much speed will I use if my laptop does not support SATA III.

    Laptop computer product number: B4E42EA

    Chipset: AMD A70M FCH

    CPU: Improved A6 4460 M to 4600 M A10

    Thank you!

    It will not run at 1600 mhz just so buy another 4 GB of DDR3-1333 memory. The SSD is the best upgrade you can do. Certainly worth. SSD SATA-III will work fine on a SATA-II bus. There is very little difference in actual operation.

  • Pavilion 15-ab150sa: HP - Pavilion 15-ab150sa 15.6 "laptop RAM UPGRADE QUESTION

    It is said in the task manager that one slot free, I was just wondering if I could upgrade the laptop to 16 GB. Laptops have already been 1x8gb.

    Can my all new laptop handle it?

    Thank you very much, and best wishes,

    Mr. Hayle.

    Unfortunately, HP has not posted a manual for your specific model. The Star Wars thing is the series of 15 t-ab100 and the same physical case and the layout, just Intel AMD not. There is a forum for active discussion on the model of Star Wars and we know by experience of the user, it can be upgraded to 16 gigs and it also comes with a single module of 8 GB and an open slot.

    I think this might be your manual, even if it is found under the designation 15z-ab000, A8-7410 processor and the plug and the configuration described in the manual seem to be the same as yours:

    Manual

    It is said expressly:

    Supports up to 16 GB of RAM in the following configurations.

    I do not work for HP. I am a user final colleague who has some knowledge based on fact that for a few years. I never came across a computer that will a 8 GB module and has a slot for memory that will not accept a second module of 8 GB for a total of 16 concerts. If you buy the 8 GB module and it doesn't work I'll buy it from you for a reasonable current retail value. Just PM me.

    Note that this upgrade memory isn't a thing authorized for mutual assistance. The warranty may or may not remain intact.

    Also be aware that the upgrade from 8 GB to 16 GB does not alter the performance of the machine much, if at all for the majority of computer users and could well be a waste of money. But if you do heavy photo or video production work, drop the pieces of music or compile large batches of the Code you can use 16 gigs successfully. Same game didn't really need more than 8 GB, however.

  • HP Pavilion dv7t Entertainment PC Memory Upgrade Question

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv7t-2000 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC

    PRODUCT # NB444AV

    OSOriginally installed: Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium

    Currently installed OS: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium

    When I bought the laptop, HP included a "FREE upgrade to 4 GB DDR2 memory (2 Dimm) 2 GB DDR2 memory (2 Dimm) system system'. I don't check then. Now, when it is slow, I checked the memory installed by 'Start-> computer-> (right click)-> properties-> installed memory (RAM). It shows that 2 GB.

    I'm baffled why it shows only 2 GB of RAM now, when HP was supposed to install 4 GB. In any case, I would like to upgrade memory now.  I have referred to as "HP Pavilion dv7 Entertainment PC. Maintenance and Service Guide "."  He describes the memory Module as:

    Spare part number description
    Memory 2048 MB (1-DIMM 667 MHz, PC2-6400),: 480382-001

    I can't install module memory 2 x 4 GB to 8 GB? Will it be recognized by the card mother/BIOS/Windows?

    Thank you for your expert advice.

    You are the very welcome.

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01689926.PDF

    Please see Chapter 4, page 54.

    It seems to me that there are two memory slots (one almost on top of the other). Take a look at the illustration.

    This is why the memory in Chapter 1 specifications indicate that you can install up to 8 GB of memory (2 x 4 GB).

    You can install a single chip PC2-6400 4 GB and leave the one you have in there now.

    It comes to the module memory 4 GB good cheaper brand I could find.

  • HP Pavilion g6-2226tu Notebook: RAM Upgarde

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade of RAM on my HP Pavilion laptop. the vehicle currently has 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

    It can take up to 8 GB of the SO-DIMM DDR3L-1600. See 01:30 on this video about how to upgrade:

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

    It works perfectly:

    To get to 8 gigs you need of 2 x 4 GB modules if your laptop has already 2 x 2 GB and the only one that's more if you have a single concert 4 (most likely). Simply remove the cover to look at what you already have.
