Today, I upgraded to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) of RAM but still, it comes as 4 and said about 2 GB can be used. What I would do. I messed with msconfig settings and put the max to the highest possible im lost, I want just the best out of my RAM

Open run
type MSCONFIG
Click on the start menu
Click on advanced

I thought that Windows 7 32-bit(Ultimate version) fixed limit of RAM. I have 6 GB installed, he sees that the 6 but he says only 2.99 is usable. I have to go to 64-bit?
Yes, you must go to 64-bit to use all the RAM.
32-bit may signal the presence of all the 6 GB but only treaty that 4 GB and part of that 4 GB is used for material - mainly the video memory and BIOS device.

Upgrade of RAM for p-7 1074 with windows 7 Home premium
I have a new HP p-7 1074. It came with windows 7 64 bit home premium and 8 GB of RAM. I installed two more RAM 4 GB cards, but the system says 16 GB of RAM is installed, but still says that only 7.5 GB is used. What is the problem and can I fix it?
Try to check the advanced boot options to solve your problem by;
By clicking on the Windows Start 'Orb', then in the bar look for msconfig and press enter
The "System Configuration" window opens on the screen
Click on the tab "Boot".
Click on the 'Advanced Options' button and then uncheck the 'Maximum memory'Click 'OK', click 'Apply', ' OK and finally click "restart."

I upgraded my RAM but computer still freezes
I recently upgraded from 4 GB to 8 GB of RAM after that I noticed that the pressure of memory was at max in the activity monitor. I had frequent problems of freezing. However, after the upgrade, all programs are just using twice as much RAM as before and the computer still freezes.
Maybe it's a separate issue, but Safari uses about 4 GB of RAM only. If I close other programs, the use of RAM down temporarily but then it seems that Safari use increases to reach capacity.
Is this normal?

Satellite A500 - 1 GR - upgrade memory RAM but 3 GB of usable system memory
I have upgraded my laptop to 8 GB (2 * 4 GB) ram. A 64 bit version of Windows 7 shows that I have 8 GB of memory, but there are only 3 GB of usable system memory. How do I use the 8GB. My Bios version is 2.00. In the Bios, I have not found the option 'enable the memory remapping feature '.
This option doesn't exist in the BIOS and everything is controlled automatically. The BIOS update will not change.
As much as I know about laptops Toshiba you cannot force for laptop to use a set amount of RAM. -

Since upgrading my ram installed shows 4 gb but says now only 2.93 GB usable why?
Since I've upgraded to Windows 7 my ram poster now only 2.93 GB usable of my 4 GB. Why would it be? And that would be why my system seems slower since upgrade? The performance is not as fast it was before Vista. I am more than a little confused! Why it does not use the full 4 GB? Only just noticed this, so if someone wouldn't mind to tell me if there is problem I would be very grateful, I'm sure it was something before the 3 upgrade!
Hi Linda,.
There is actually a very technical reason for what you see, but basically it's because you're using a 32-BIT operating system. If you use a 64-BIT operating system you would not see the problem.
If you are interested, this post does a good job of explaining it is http://blogs.msdn.com/hiltonl/archive/2007/04/13/the-3gb-not-4gb-ram-problem.aspx , but basically, it's down to the way that the operating system uses the memory and how it spread what you can and cannot use.
Long story short, that if you stay with 32 BIT, you're stuck with this...
Hope this helps,

Upgrade of RAM for Satellite Pro S300-11
Hello
I have this netbook for two years now and I need to add more memory RAM, it has 2 GB and is capable of having up to 8 GB.
I went to two local stores to buy a memory stick, but they are not able to find my netbook to their suppliers, so that they have no idea what memory modules could go well with my pc. I know that the installed RAM module is a DDR2 at 800 MHz. So, any module of ram with these specifications should work correctly?
Another question is if my computer is able to read up to 8 GB or I have to upgrade the BIOS (I have not updated, so I have one pre-installed).
Thanks for your reply and sorry for my English!
See you soon!Hi manelfera,
The laptop has Intel GM45 chipset and the chipset supports up to 8 GB of memory. This means that you can install 4 GB module in both memory slots. As you already wrote DDR2 800 MHz is the correct specification.
Theoretically, each module with this specification will work, but I recommend the purchase of high quality of Kingston for example modules. I have good experiences with this brand :)
Updating the BIOS is not necessary for the upgrade of RAM so you can keep the current version.

HARD drive and upgrade of RAM for Satellite A200 1AE
Hello
I plan to upgrade my RAM and HARD drive.
I am currently using a 120 GB SATA HDD and 2x512mb ddr2 667 Mhz (out of the box state).
My questions are:[1] will a WD Scorpio blue work SATA II 500 GB HARD drive at 5400 RPM on my laptop? If this is not the case, what is the maximum GB for my laptop's HARD drive (if there are any)?
[2] a 2x2gb ddr2 667 Mhz will work? If not, what is the maximum?BTW, the Specs are Intel Core2Duo 1.73 Ghz T5300's family Vista premium sp2 (preloaded) OS, BIOS Phoenix version 1.20, Chipset intel 945 (I think).
Thanks in advance.
> 1] will a WD Scorpio blue 500 GB 5400 RPM SATA II drive HARD work on my laptop?
It should work since the SATA controller is not limited to any size of HARD drive.> [2] Will work 2x2gb ddr2 667 Mhz? If not, what is the maximum?
The laptop supports Intel® 945 GM chipset. The upgrade of RAM depends on the chipset.
AFAIK the 667 Mhz Rams should be clocked at 533 Mhz
But you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB) -
Re: Satellite Pro A300D-161 - I want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB
Hello, I want to upgrade my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB.
The laptop box, said the other: 2 GB DDR2 800 Mhz, but when I check the CPU - Z it says 400 Mhz
http://img140.imageshack.us/i/cpuz1.PNG/
http://img267.imageshack.us/i/cpuz2.PNG/The website of toshiba says also 800 Mhz, so wich 1 I need to buy?
1 x 2 GB DDR2 - 400 Mhz
or
2 x 2 GB DDR2 - 800 MhzAlso, I wonder when I switch to 4 GB, the amount of memory will be dedicated to my video card?
Thank you
Hello
CPU - Z is definitely wrong! Satellite Pro A300D-161 needs DDR2-800 MHz to upgrade according to the specs on the Toshiba site.
If the information on the laptop box is correct.More video RAM will be assigned automatically and with 4 GB of RAM you will get more memory video too.
Good bye

Satellite Pro A120 - I want to upgrade the RAM
Hello
I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Satellite Pro A120 Model No.: PSAC1E-05C00VEN
I'm getting conflicting reports as to how this can actually take, some sites say a 1 GB maximum per slot max so 2 GB while most of the others say max 2 GB per slot
I was hoping you could advise me.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Hello!
Your Satellite Pro A120 is equipped with the Intel 945 GM chipset and so you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM.
Only models with ATI chipset can be upgraded to 2 GB and I think this is the reason why some sites say that it can be upgraded to 2 GB and others at 4 GB.However, for the upgrade of RAM DDR2-RAM PC2-5300 (DDR2-677). You can buy 2 GB modules for a maximum of 4 GB.
But don t forget that only a 64 bit OS supports 4 GB of RAM.Good bye
