Lenovo limited RAM y580?

This laptop comes with 8 gb, but I am only allowed to run 3 GB max? Any ideas? Is this normal haha

Hi again
Necessary information is relavent as most laptops have a 64-bit processor and this is true for your case too. operating system 32 bits can not use all the ram installed, but 64-bit can. To use the 8 GB, you will need to install win 7 6 s bit.
Hope this helps

    Thank you

    Go with the first link. His brand lenovo RAM. When you buy RAM, you want to get the last type (i.e. the norm these days), which I think is DDR3 right now. DDR3 is simply the interface type. In addition, you must consider which will support your motherboard, and you find this out by looking at the specs of your motherboard. It will tell you all the ports and what type of everything what you can fit there.

    The maximum amount of RAM has to do with your operating system (OS). The limits of each version of Windows, you can wikipedia. In fact, wikipedia EVERYTHING and you will learn.

    The reason why I told you to buy the first RAM in the link is because you want all your RAM are the same to be more effective. I don't really know the details, but just to get the same RAM (brand, latency, type, no matter). As a casual PC user, you don't really need to worry about what anyone else. Just make sure the RAM on the motherboard of the computer desk or in your laptop and if you buy more RAM, try to be the same. Although it is not that serious.

    BTW, I bought RAM myself for my 220 t make my Tablet have 8 GB, (which is the maximum that can support this thing) and it works like a charm.

    I hope this helps. Building, fixing, modding and the upgrade of PC is all about trial and error. And once again, wikipedia everything. If you have a problem with a PC, try it on google and go on forums because people generally have the same problems. That's how you learn.

  • Lenovo B590: RAM upgrade is not detected

    Hi all

    Yesterday, I bought a chip of PC3-12800 CL11 204 pins SODIMM RAM Kingston 4 GB of my local store of hardware because I wanted to update my Lenovo B590 memory, which - by default - has 4 GB of DDR3 RAM installed. I have double checked if memory was compatible with my B590 calling Lenovo support and searching the Web (which gives this message, for example). The two sources confirmed the upgrade should not be a problem if I did not exceed the limit of 8GB. However, after that I had plugged the RAM, I found that it was not recognized by my OS (Windows) and my BIOS. They are always saying that I only have the factory installed 4096MB.
    How can I make my system use this RAM upgrade? Please help, you have my gratitude!

    Note: when I determine which RAM to buy, I've checked also which type of memory was already installed in my B590 by the manufacturer. I unscrewed my notebook and found a chip, brand Hynix memory, I assumed it was a single 4GB chip. However, the search results for of his series on the web show it is in fact a DDR3 SDRAM 2 GB chip. I checked my hardware, but could not see any other chip (even though I'm 100% sure that my system has 4 GB of RAM installed by the manufacturer). If this has nothing to do with the above? Thanks again!

    RESOLVED: The RAM chip is not inserted properly in the additional location. All works fine now.

  • Worth of SSD upgrade with such a limited RAM?

    I have several old white iMac in a studio/home office workplacestudio.

    I'm under 10.6.8 on them.  New OS seems too intense for them.

    Best of the lot is a 7.1 intel core 2 duo/2.4 g (6 g of RAM), as well as a 5.1, 2.16 g intel core 2 duo/2.5 g RAM

    and a couple of 4.1 Imac intel core Duo (2g of RAM).

    It is, in view of the limitation of the memory on these machines to time ' 07 (not to mention a Mini 2.1 at the beginning)

    is going to be interesting, is not a substitute for SSD only he and a quite substantial improvement, or which limited

    Will be enough of a disability to make it more sensitive to liquidate the oldest of them, memory (for

    all this value is over?) - and put it toward a couple of the newest models of generation?

    Thanks for any advice,

    MIke

    I don't think that that kind of money spending on an SSD is a profitable investment on machinery 8 years (or more). Although SSD drives became cheaper, they cost much more than a spinning drive. Instead, start saving for a more recent machine. In addition, to help the former processors, didn't have a single or two applications open at the same time, keep enough hard disk space empty for the OS to work effectively and install not the so-called 'clean' apps or software AV. The installed RAM is actually enough to run Snow leopard like which fortunately works on 2 GB - not so new versions of the OS where 4 GB is considered to be the absolute minimum and 8 or more are preferable.

  • Lenovo G570 RAM update

    Hello

    My Lenovo G570 (model No.: 20079) now has a 2 GB + 1 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 Rams into its slots. I plan to take off the 1 GB key and replace it with a Corsair 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM for an effective 10 GB RAM.

    However, on checking various websites that lists G570, we show that the maximum capacity of RAM is 8GB, if the processor supports up to 16 GB.

    I would like to get a clarification on this. Is it possible to upgrade to > 8 GB? If not, why the difference in the maximum capacity of the system and the proc?

  • Lenovo Y460 RAM

    My Y460 works under Windows 7 x 64 and is currently set to use a High Performance graphics card (i.e. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650). How is it that 4 GB of RAM, only 3.80 GB is deemed usable?

    rest of the memory can be used by the graphics card. (256 MB)

    Press "windows + r", type "dxdiag" and check the memory on the graphics card tab.

  • Lenovo U430p RAM

    Hello, I have seen discussions on this topic, but I have a crucial question. If I buy u430p there is only one memory slot and it comes with 4 GB of memory. If I want to move to 8 GB and I opened the cover, I lose the guarantee of 2 years? If so, is it possible to improve my ram from 4 to 8 GB without losing the warranty of 2 years? Thank you, Daniel.

    You don't lose the guarantee, but in the case where you have problems with the laptop, try swapping the RAM with the original one and check if the key 8 GB is not the culprit before calling an RMA number.

  • Update ESXi3.5 to ESXi4 with limited RAM

    Hello

    I'm new to VMware and I have converted the desktop PC in ESXi servers for learning technology. Currently, a desktop P4-EM64T enabled with 1 GB of RAM is running ESXi3.5 and I plan to update to ESXi4 after adding another 1 GB. I have a few question for experts to clarify.

    (1) the 1 GB of RAM already present in the desktop computer's type DDR1 and shown only 986 MB in the bios, so if I add an another 1 GB total will be close to 1 800 MB and not 2 GB, what is the minimum RAM required for ESXi4. I'm still able to install ESXi4?

    (2) the processor is 64-bit P4 and active hyperthreading so would it be compatible with the ESXi4 that I don't know the difference between the processor with native support for 64-bit and 64-bit computing active. Please enlighten me.

    I have already invested a lot for the material and I want to wisely use the money on the purchase of more equipment. Please help me by clarifying the questions above.

    Thanks in advance.

    What is the processor Intel REAL? Search the ultimate site Whitebox ESX (www.ultimatewhitebox.com) to see if it supports (or is supported / tested for) ESX/ESXi 4 or not...

    2 GB of RAM is the MINIMUM you need to install or use ESX/ESXi 4... Just saw that means you might be able to run a VM, then again, you might not. A more realistic minimum RAM is 4 GB, with 8GB (or more) being much better.

    You need to enable virtualization in the bios to start THAT ALL 64-bit VM on these systems. Otherwise, you're stuck only 32-bit clients.

    I recommend to install 4u1 ESXi on a USB stick (at least 2 GB in size) and which allows to test each system to see IF you can even run ESXi 4u1 on them. You can easily run questions with unsupported on-board hard disk controller, or another key (for example, the map NETWORK) was not supported and then you down until you can actually get more material which will ESXi4...

    I'm actually starting a server Dell PowerEdge 860 with 4 GB RAM, no HDD inside, with a processor Intel Pentium D 915 (dual core, 64-bit) as a test. I installed ESXi4u1 on the 2 GB USB flash drive not that long ago and has been able to run it on some other systems. It shows the processor correctly (on the splash screen), but also the ESXi to build number (244038) everything is OK... Just waiting for the last piece of load before I connect from my main work system.

    To be completely honest, just because you've managed to get some PC workstation in to run ESXi 3.5 by a simple memory increase no way guarantee will allow you to run ESXi 4... There are several parts of a system that must be compatible / correct before you will be able to use the product. You'd be better off getting systems that have components listed on the VMware HCL so you don't need to worry... I speak entirely supported processors, speed variators (hardware RAID), memory of the quantities (go beyond the minimum of bone bare) and even the hard drives themselves.

    Since the beginning of this message, the server PE860 is completely restarted in ESXi 4 and works. I have no need to assign a NETWORK adapter for the management network, before he could ping and others, but once that it is fully operational. The beauty of the use of the USB to test, it's that you don't need to jump through lots of hoops to get ESXi installed 4u1. You just need to be able to boot from USB (on the system that you want to use/test) and then do it. I give serious thoughts to this method for the next system/host server that I pick up that will go in my lab at home (such as a perm resident)... I'll probably end up doing some readers flash twice, just in case one is going bad on me...

  • Mac Book Pro limited ram question

    I just changed my 8 GB of Ram of 4 GB and even if my MBP recoqnizes 8 gigs, CS5 does not work, he sees only 2.6 GB which is the same as when I had 4 gigabytes of ram. Is there a way where I can get my CS5 to use available ram memory or is this as good as it gets?

    Thanks for any help.

    Cheers, Mike.

    Thank you. CS5 can be in 32-bit mode, which means it cannot process more than 4 GB memory (2.8 GB is the limit to leave room for the operating system and other applications) you must set in 64-bit mode. Here's what to check:

    Opening of the 32-bit versions and 64-bit Photoshop CS5 on Mac OS

    Photoshop CS5 Mac OS installs a copy of the application, and it starts by default in 64-bit mode. You can run Photoshop CS5 in 32-bit mode.

    To run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit mode:

    1. Quit Photoshop CS5.
    2. Navigate to the folder/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS5.
    3. Select the Adobe Photoshop CS5.app file.
    4. Choose file > get info.
    5. Uncheck open in 32-bit Mode.
    6. Close the dialog box for information.
    7. Reopening of Photoshop CS5.
  • T400 Rams and ssd compatibility

    Hi all

    I'm planing to upgrade the ram and the hard drive of my computer laptop lenovo t400.

    Could u pls help me to know what is the only compatible with lenovo t400 ram and ssd?

    Note: I tried to upgrade the ram for lenovo t400 with bus 1333 pc-10600 but that does not .

    Kindly advice.

    Concerning

    RAM = 1066 mhz 204-pin SODIMM DDR3 (although faster ram is also possible, so 1333 mhz and 1666 mhz DDR3 is also correct). But don't use Corsair ram to avoid problems of incompatibility.

    SSD = SATAII (although SATAIII is also backward compatible), 2.5-inch, 9.5/7 mm thick discs.

    I ordered the laptop with Lenovo 4 GB RAM + 4 GB memory of SODIMM DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) reference number: 0A 65723

    Instead, I find assembled: Hynix HMT451S6BFR8A-PB s / n 0260C61C GB 4000 + 1600 MHz Samsung M471B5173QH0-YK0 s / n 18144E05 1600 MHz 4 000 GB

    Why not have a LENOVO RAM? or IBM? He slipped the dealer? IBM produced the RAM from another brand?

    Please help me, I need to understand if the dealer made me a most good RAM...

    Lenovo makes RAM; they simply rebrand modules from other manufacturers.

    Frankly, as long as the RAM works (run memtest86) it should be fine.

  • y580 gpu generates artifacts on the games

    I just bought a lenovo laptop computer y580 with i5 processor. his performance is very good. but gpu generates artifacts 2 hours after playing games like crysis 2, gta 4, assassins creed, etc. on high levels. at the beginning when I was using stock drivers for the gpu, there were some bright flashing glitches on games too. but after the update of drivers at the last one (whql) flashing problem glitches disappeared. artifact problem happens and when I return from office by alt + tab, artifacts disappear. Here are a few screenshots on the problem. What can I do about it? This look like a hardware problem?

    assassins creed 1

    http://imgim.com/ac1_11.jpg

    Crysis 2

    http://imgim.com/cry2_11.jpg

    These artifacts are usually due to the bad gpu.

    If you use Nvidia Inspector to reduce the gpu clock/memory speed, I bet these artifacts disappear.

    However, by lowering the clock speed, you don't get what you paid for, so a replacement is in order.

  • Why disable SuperFetch on ssd, if the RAM is much faster than the ssd?

    Directed by Microsoft that SuperFetch and PreFetch must be disabled, if the OS is installed on an ssd, in accordance with article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2727880. But SuperFetch is used for loading the data components of applications, which were very often used for RAM. Although the ssd is faster that a hard drive is not faster than the RAM. So, I do not understand why Microsoft suggest disabling this feature. The only reason why I want to understand, it's because of a limited RAM. If the RAM is sufficient beyond 6 GB, if we disable SuperFetch, then the boot time and increase the loading time of most used applications. I miss something here?

    The other question is about PreFetch. I feel, maybe wrong, it does the same thing with SuperFetch, with one major difference. It loads all the information data on the ssd or hard drive, instead of the RAM, in order to accelerate the launch of applications and time when the OS is installed on a hard drive to boot. If I'm right, let's disable the PreFetch it stores information for one ssd or hdd, while SuperFetch stores data of RAM information, which is much faster and so it must be enabled if there is a sufficient RAM.

    I look forward to reading the notice of a Microsoft software engineer.

    Hi Leventis,

    Prefetch copies frequently accessed files together into a contiguous on the disk area so that they can be located and loaded more quickly. That it takes a lot of old drives to recover data faster.

    SuperFetch predict what applications you run next and preload all the necessary data in the memory. She has also done that with startup files. And for all the three days he sends a defragmentation command to the OS drive that will cause problems in the SSD drives.

    In traditional hard drives (HDD) data are scattered throughout the disk, so that the operating system for access, it will take more time. It is suggested to perform a disk defragmentation. But storage technology is different in SSD, where, it records the data dynamically and it recovers more quickly. Who will be low down the burden on the RAM and the RAM can be used for uses such as for the opening of the games graphics high-end, etc..

    Hope this information is useful.
