HP Presario CQ60-211DX: Question about adding ram

My moms HD took a dump and I'll replace it and update the ram.  After defining and entry model information site, she came back with a couple different options.  He says that I can use PC2-5300 or PC2-6400.  The PC processor is a Celeron 585 2.6 single core with a 667 Mhz FB.  As I understand it, requires PC2-5300 667 Mhz FSB of the processor?  (This is what I guess I)  PC2-6400 runs at 800 Mhz FSB?  I just think?  And what advantage would I using the PC2-6400 on the 5300 with my current set in place?  He said that the two are compatible and they are at the same price.  Help, please.

Thank you

Your a chipset GL40, which culminates in the DDR2-667. Also known under the name of PC2-5300 (same thing). So you can install DDR2-800, but it will run at the same speed that is 667 mhz DDR2-667. If they are both the same price get the DDR2-667. DDR2-800 is generally a bit more available and a little less money, believe it or not, but apparently not where you found it.

  • Broken screen, Presario CQ60-211DX

    My child has left the computer with the cord wrapped around his leg. The computer fell off the table and display press the edge of a wooden chair on the way to the floor. Now, it looks like a broken window (a serrated line on screen) with bright colors as a screen above the line, black below. So basically, the display is physically destroyed.  Ruughly how much would a replacement cost of the screen, how would get us done, etc.? Or we'd better throw and buy a whole new machine? Or the warranty would cover it at all?

    The computer is a laptop Presario CQ60-211DX he had for all of 6 weeks.

    Thank you

    The only guarantee that would cover it is a physical damage insurance. If you bought the guarantee improved by a retailer that coverage could apply, and I think that HP also offers only and you would remember if you bought because it's very very salty. The standard warranty doesn't cover any. Now, the repair. The price of the screens came down a bit in the last few years. Here is one on eBay for about $130:

    screen from eBay $130

    It's about the average price that we see now in $250 not too long.

    I have not replaced a CQ60 screen but even the dv9000, his ancestor direct and very difficult to work on, was easy to manage for an amateur in replacing the screen. We can get you the service manual and maybe it's a 45-minute job. If you ever built a model as a kid, can turn a screwdriver carefully and can follow the plans, you can do it. Otherwise, the work is likely to be another $125 or more at a computer store. The best way to do this is to get the screen then start the call around for the best price and tell them that you already have the screen. You don't want to delete the old first of all that it is better to find the screen by the model of the screen rather than the model of the laptop because so many manufacturers now use the exact same screens so you can do a wider search. Once remove you the old one, you will see this is not too difficult to put the new one back in.

    Even the worst $ 250 or so with work, it's much less expensive than a new laptop. Just don't let people tell you it's going to be $ 400 or more, which is heard.

  • Presario CQ60-211dx - upgrade CPU T3400; Update Flash?

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ60-211DX, that has a CPU Intel 585. After reading the forum, I bought a CPU T3400 as an upgrade. Do I need to Flash the BIOS? It is currently updated for the 585, but it will be different for theT3400? If so, I flash before or after you installed the new processor?

    Thank you very much!

    In 585, I assume you mean a Celeron. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    You almost certainly have a GL40 chipset Board and the T3400 should be a quick replacement.  No need to do anything in the BIOS.

    The T3400 and the 585 have the same cache, run at the same speed. I don't know how much improvement you will achieve, but I guess that saw 2 cores can be worth.

    The question is...

    I want to upgrade my portable computer system memory 3 GB DDR2 (800 MHz) RAM to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 (1066 MHz), which is compatible or not?

    Respect,
    enteoana

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
    So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

    Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
    Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
    Type of module - SO-DIMM

    So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
    You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

    If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
    Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).

  • Questions about adding a NAS to the existing environment

    Hello

    We have an existing deployment of VI with an EMC SAN and three ESX host.  We would like to add additional storage to NAS and storage ISO tests.  To do this, we were going to set up a RHEL 5 server, as others on the forum have done and use NFS to provide a data store for ESX.  However, I have some questions that I found only partial answers on the forum.

    (1) is there a performance by adding NAS on the network of IP storage for the existing deployment of VI?  Our EMC SAN uses iSCSI to provide a storage boxes currently.  Mix iSCSI and NFS on the IP storage networking a bad idea to turn performance and stability?  Anyone done this?  Looks like a logical thing to do that many small deployments may not afford to buy company for test/development equipment and storage ISO.

    (2) what are the security implications of placing an NFS server on Red Hat-based IP storage network?  How to do this safely?  All posts of forum and documentation of security seem to focus on the need to separate the traffic of IP storage (which is clear text) to run virtual machines or physical servers.  In order to add the NAS on the network of storage, we allow access to the Red Hat server for IP storage network.

    (3) is there a way to limit the traffic on the network interface facing the storage over IP to NFS network only?  We would be two interfaces on the server Red Hat to fight against it, as our network of IP storage is not returned to the other networks in some way.  It is an isolated network by design, for security reasons.  Thus, we would need an interface connected to the stroage and one IP network that is connected to one of our management systems.

    Thank you.  I appreciate your help.

    Hello

    I can understand a problem of pure load.  What I meant is there at - it a greater load on the servers simply having to use two different storage (NFS and iSCSI) protocols?  Or is it better to use iSCSI on the storage of test/development device so that we only configuring and using a storage Protocol?

    There is some overhead in the vmkernel, but it is also to be expected.

    I think that it is at the heart of the case.  I don't use a full OS is the way to go for me.  I'm really a Windows administrator and my knowledge of Red Hat is somewhat lacking.  On this basis, it may be preferable to use a storage OS like Openfiler or NexentaStor.  Do you have an opinion on which one is more stable or efficient?

    Openfiler is Linux or FreeBSD. I still have to examine in detail, but in both cases, they are both complete BONES. Openfiler is much easier to use, however, and will be iSCSI or NFS. If it were me, and I didn't know anything about Linux, I'd use Openfiler.

    VMs allows access to the storage indirectly however ESX.

    Great, so he can participate in your existing IP storage network.  Configure web access (management) to Openfiler being on the same network as for existing SAN management application. Then have your data on the IP storage network.

  • Confused about adding RAM for my computer.

    Hi, I have a Dell Dimension E310 hepatitis has. And I want to add 1 GB of RAM for my comp. However, by reading the instructions on how to install a part of comfused me: it says that "If you install a mixed pair of DDR2 400 MHz (PC2-3200) and memory DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4300), the modules function at the slowest speed installed.
    Be sure to install a single module of memory in DIMM 1 connector, closest to the processor, before you install modules in the other connectors connector. ». So this means that i hav to get rid of my old RAM failure (2 chips equivalent to about 504 MB of RAM) and only install 1 new? In simple terms, can I install a chip of 1 GB of RAM (the an im about to purchase) on a slot and keep a 200 er something MB of RAM on the others (only 2 openings avaiable RAM on my computer)? If im see evil in my train of thought please tell me...

    Another question is grounded yourself from electrical static. Can someone please explain to me how to do that on 'unpainted metal. as you just rub your fingers er somehting about this "unpainted metal. wat is 'unpainted metal.

  • Questions about adding a Skype number

    First timer here, here are my questions, I live in Thailand, former U.S. citizen, have for years had major problems with government agencies to reach me by phone. My billing address is in CA, my verified phone number is thai. I believe that with a Skype CA phone number I can eliminate these problems, correct? As the Government agencies and US automated banking systems cannot recognize a 11 digit number.

    OK, so I did not have a first core of Galaxy attached to any diet, talk with a slot for sim card available. My intention is to buy a prepay sim for the available location local, and then add a Skype number. This Skype number wouldn't be usable wifi connected. A one year subscription is $52.25, but the site says nothing about other calling some how fees, or I've missed?

    With the second sim with a Skype number, dedicated to the United States calls only, and I was able to differentiate between the two by which the sim was used to receive the call. I receive a message if a call was made for me if it is not connected to wifi?

    Could I have the call transferred to my Thai number, if I were to buy call forwarding also?

    I intend to wait until I have answers from the community before I do anything.

    Thanks in advance for those who add their comments.

    Hi, what you're trying to do is possible in principle, but you do not add the number of Skype to a SIM.

    What happens, is that you install the Skype app on Google Store on your base premium Galaxy then receive calls and outgoing calls via the Skype in wifi or mobile data, if you add a local SIM card.

    Check Skype calling subscriptions and distribution rates to the United States and the Thailand (subscriptions especially if you make a lot of calls or transfer calls to a number of Thai). If you buy a subscription or even 2 subscriptions (1 USA and 1 Thai) then you get a 50% discount when you buy a Skype number for 12 months, which is a good deal.

    The application on your Galaxy will inform you of all the missed calls. I suggest you only install Skype on a PC too to see the full selection of purchase options in Tools/Options. You must configure the voicemail here and select this option to allow anyone to call your Skype number. Spend some time looking at all the options that are available to you.

    You can transfer your Skype CA number to a number of Thai, if you wish and have a subscription or a credit to pay for it.

    Perhaps start by installing Skype on your base premium Galaxy from the game store, sign in with your account and take a look at all the parameters available on the app. Setting most are in the app now except setting up voicemail that can be made on the program Skype on a PC.

  • Tecra M3 - questions about the RAM maximum and graphics driver update

    Hi people,

    I have a Tecra M3 (Variant FBCF with the Geforce 6600 w / 128 MB) and I have two questions that I hope someone here can help me with:

    (1) what is the maximum amount of RAM that I can install here? The manual says 2 GB (2 x 1 GB), but I do not see why the laptop would be paralyzed this necessary way, cause as far as I know the 915G chipset can handle 4 GB of RAM. If anyone knows definitively what?

    (2) the latest drivers from nvidia for XP are 2005. As most of you probably know, nvidia systematically more than past performance with versions driver and adds compatibility with some games that end up in trouble. The real driver from the nvidia site does not install because it says that it cannot find any compatible hardware. Can't Toshiba even a pilot updated annually? There is a driver of 2007 for Vista, I can't believe that if they did, they decide refresh the XP one while they were to him. Any chance of their audience on this here? I could force the nvidia.com driver to install, but I don't think that it's necessarily a great idea.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    the maximum amount specified for this machine memory is 2 GB and 4 GB not but you can try it with 2x2gb modules.

    With regard to your graphics: Don t use the nvidia driver since it is not suitable for mobile graphics chipsets and has no timing in the driver that is needed to run flawlessly.

    I'd rather you to view laptopvideo2go and download some drivers here. :)

  • General question about adding storage Readynas 204

    I have Readynas204 on x-raid with three discs of 3 TB sends me some 5.45 TB of storage. Yesterday I added another 3 TB and readynas recognized without any problems but the storage size has not changed. I installed the new drive straight out of the box and I don't think that it should reformat because the drive status is green and the 'Format' button is grayed. The State is green, but that is to say the reconstruction of the volume. My question is I am suppsed to see the storage of 8,38 to size once the volume rebuild process is finished? or I suppsed to see increased storage size rightaway after adding the 4th disc? Thought I should ask this here first before submitting a ticket. Thank you

    You should see the larger size when the rebuild is complete.
