Increase the size of RAM if I update the BIOS?

Hi everyone out there! I was told that my BIOS update would more RAM from 1 GB to be installed in my Compaq Presario S5200UK with ASUSTeK A7N8X - motherboard. Is it good or bad? I have upgraded the BIOS V3.14 to V3.21 then went online to a retailer of memory and downloaded their scanner and it ran on my S5200uk. The results claimed that I had 3 slots for memory module (when there are actually 2). That was the case, correctly noted, however, that I had installed 2 sticks of 512 MB. The scanner said that 3 GB of RAM can be installed!

Now, I'm totally confused and don, t know what to believe. If I buy 2 GB of RAM to try it and it doesn't recognize, I have no doubt it will be able to return it for a refund. Anyone know how I can be sure one way or another?

Thank you.

Paul, thank you for taking the time and trouble to respond with such a thoughtful response. I read 'enhances information reports for large RAM memory modules' too and couldn't make head nor tail of it either! What you say makes sense either (the safest option to buy and try one first). Thanks again, kind regards Mr.Tetchy.

  • After updating Firefox, the font on my screen size has been reduced for all applications. How can I increase the size of the font on my screen?

    After the update, the next screen shows all the letters in smaller characters, with fewer pixels. All screens are like that now, and I found nothing in Firefox Help content. It is a problem because I have vision problems. So, how can I increase the font size that had it before? My screen is approximately 20 inches wide.

       Also, any chance I can change all the font to Arial instead of Times New Roman?

  • I own a Macbook pro mid 2012. Now I want to increase the RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB, please suggest if this update will help me to improve my performance to macbook.

    I own a Macbook pro mid 2012. Now I want to increase the RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB, please suggest if this update will help me to improve my performance to macbook.

    It will help in cases where the applications require more than 4 GB of RAM.  Otherwise, there will be no noticeable difference.  If you really want to increase the speed, an SSD is the best option.  They cost about 3 x's + more than a traditional HDD of same capacity...

    Ciao.

  • As the computer is old and slow it is better to increase the RAM or better to invest in a new computer update?

    original title: lack of RAM

    McAfee, unable to update as the only security base 256 and 512 MB of RAM required. As the computer is old and slow it is better to increase the RAM or better to invest in a new computer update. Would appreciate help in this case. Also as I'm pretty computer illiterate, please use the terms that I can follow. Thank you

    Hi Kathleen Almeida,.

    Because the computer is old, instead of upgrading the ram, you can buy new computer. I suggest you contact system manufacturer more about if you need to upgrade or buy a new computer.

    Hello

    Can someone give me some advice.

    Thank you
    Pat

    Hello
    The tables, you need to change are hsp_cell_note_item and hsp_text_cell_value.
    You must call an alter table statement, and increase the size of the fields that hold the text values.

    See you soon,.

  • Is it possible to increase the font size on web pages? I can increase the size of the page but then lose the ability to see the entire page.

    I've just updated El Capitan, but the font size on web pages went all teeny weeny.

    I was wondering if we could increase the font size? The page can expand via "zoom in", but then lose the ability to view the web page in the blink of an eye.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes.  Open the Terminal app and type the following command followed by the Enter key or return:

    : write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2MinimumFontSize - int XX

    (triple click on the line to select it to copy and paste into the Terminal application).

    Change the XX to the font size you want as the minimum font by default.

    Or you can use a css style sheet.  This site describes it and the Terminal method: specify Minimum font size in Safari 10.0, macOS Sierra

  • RAM 1 GB upgrade will increase the performance of the Satellite Pro M30?

    My ram size is currenty 512 MB.
    I have the model Satellite Pro M30.
    As the old model, my laptop would be faster if I increase to 1 GB

    Hello

    Of course, the 1 GB of RAM would help increase the performance of your laptop.
    It must be useful for faster loading applications.
    You will notice also that your tools and other software will be faster.

    To upgrade to the 1 GB RAM, you would need two 512 MB modules.
    Usually the PC2700 DDR - RAM 512 MB module must be compatible.

  • Increase/allocate a size of RAM beyond 3712 MB in XP mode

    Can someone help me to know how to increase/assign a RAM size beyond 3712 MB in XP mode. I use win7 ultimate 64 bit and I have 12 GB of memory in my computer and want to assign the size of RAM (about 6 GB) to improve the performance of applications running in XP mode.

    Thank you

    XP Mode is 32-bit and can only address 4 GB of RAM.

    System BIOS memory and graphics are included in the 4 GB so MB 3712, is that all the XP Mode can be used.
  • How can I increase the size of partitioned 'Recovery' drive in Windows 8?

    I need to update my windows 8 to 8.1 in order to upgrade to Windows 10. The "recovery" partitioned D drive doesn't have enough space for the upgrade. Is there a FREE way to increase space partitioned drive?

    UPDATE: I GOT IT!

    I have shrunk the drive C to unallocated space of 10 GB and used free software EaseUS to increase the size of the disk D (I couldn't increase using windows).

    If your configuration is set with the partitions in a certain order or Setup, it can be moved using this tool, so you should come back to something like ZigZag3143 (Windows devices & for IT Pro MS - MVP) suggested.  Or another option is to save what concerns you, format the drive and reinstall everything fresh (it may be too much for you, but it is an option).

  • Is there a way to increase the text size in Windows 8 applications?

    Is there a way to increase the text size in Windows 8 applications?

    I find the way to text size too small in most news reader applications.  Looks like you should be able to increase or decrease the text size the same thing you do in a browser using CTRL + or CTRL-, or your mouse wheel.

    You can increase the size of the text on the desktop, but it doesn't have any effect on the subway, or whatever you call it today.

    Probably, there should be a setting to increase the size of the text under settings of PC!

    IMO, I would probably find a lot of people out there wouldn't buy a W8 Tablet since the text is to small to read!  This has fixed as soon as POSSIBLE!

    Edit: I noticed that a lot of Apps is updated to help with this problem.  Unfortunately not on the main screen of App, if you select an item to read the improvement will become visible or selectable.

    Hello

    On the start screen simply type the word "police" and select the filter settings on the right.  You should see an option 'Make text and other items more or less '.  Click on that and adjust the text or at the desired size.

    -Curt

    These instructions don't change the DPI of the screen ratio when it is in the classic user of Windows interface. The new interface Windows username however does not change when this setting is changed (which, in itself, is rather unfortunate).

    The only way to change the font size of Windows apps Store is as follows:

    1. click on the Start button to get the new user of Windows interface

    2 start typing 'police' (without the quotes)

    3. click on "settings".

    4. click on "enlarge everything on your screen; This opens the settings of PC (which is different from the classic Configuration screen)

    5. set "Enlarge everything on your screen" on it.

    Personally, I still find it too small for a lot of apps, but it's a small improvement on the default settings.
