NB550d - Ram or Ram & OS upgrade?

Hi - I had a netbook nb550d & generally fun but I would like to improve performance. Plans is just an upgrade to 2 GB ram & leaving with windows 7 edition starter or go to 4 GB ram & upgrading of windows 7 Edition family, but the latter would cost at least £70 more & I was wondering if it is worth. Seen also some comments re autonomy, reducing the latter but don't know why?

I'm not bothered by the limits as office & have managed to overcome the problems of reading of DVD of W7starter but want the base system to run faster. Has anyone done one upgrade & there was a significant improvement?

Separately if I upgrade the operating system do I need to reinstall the programs etc?

Thank you

I put t have this little netbook, but if you are satisfied with the BONE and so pre-installed OS is good enough for all your needs, in my opinion, upgrade of RAM is sufficient for you.
It will definitely increase the performance of netbook s.

In the case it will be good enough for you, you can upgrade the operating system.

Yet, many people choose to do and it's a services of this Forum, run by people not HP, can you bring, including HP itself can not, but don't say you were not warned. It is actually fairly difficult. Removal of the motherboard is not necessary, but demand close attention to tighten management and you will be OK. There is also the issue of finding the compatible memory.

    Hi Ryan,

    Contact Crucial and Crucial official recommendation.  If you buy directly from Crucial, then they will stand behind their products.

    Your first consideration should be Support HP or HP sales during the consideration of upgrades or replacement of memory. If you want to consider other manufacturers of the best way to avoid memory problems is to contact one of the leading manufacturers of memory. I would recommend that you try the tools of these manufacturers: Corsair, Kingston andCrucial. Once you have determined the DIMMs that you need, then contact commercial or technical support to check that you have selected the correct DIMMS. If you buy directly from manufacturers, then they will stand behind their products.

  • Satellite A50 PSA50A - CPU, RAM, HDD upgrade question

    I wanted a laptop and my partner who is not real Smart PC (bless his heart) was released without my knowleadge and bought me a second hand laptop. That I really appreciate his kindness.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite model PSA50A - 7 k 047 number.
    I know a little PC, but not much I can change a hard drive and add memory and processor for a desktop computer but have little knowledge with laptops.

    This one has a hard disk of 40 GB and ram 240 and I guess is a Pentium 4.

    -What I want to know is how old is this model, and how much I can spend it.
    -What is the maximum memory, hard drive and it will take a Core duo.

    I've never had a Toshiba before but I heard that they are really good and reliable.

    Another issue is that I went into Device Manager and then system devices, and then the speakers, I found there was a driver that has not been installed. 82801DBM LPC Interface Controller - 24CC

    The reason why I ask is that I tried to plug in external speakers and they would not work, I couldn't find a speaker headphone and microphone port. I thought it's maybe because the driver above has not been installed. Anyone know where I could find and download the driver.

    When replying do not forget I am 50 years old and there are 5 years, I don't know even how to set up a browser, I taught myself everything I know now... I have 2 blogs and do a lot of marketing, but I'm not so good on the side of tech.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi pauline28
    Goo gle is your best friend... ;-)

    I guess it is 4 or 5 years...

    I am only guessing, but the limitation of the ram upgrade should be 1024 MB depending on the operating system and chipset...
    Take a look at the job (it can be downloaded on the website of toshibas)

    all the drivers for this laptop can be downloaded from toshiba too.

    the upgrade of the 120 GB HDD can work but there is no guarantee, perhaps that you have updated the bios

    the upgrade of the central unit is the most foolish thing to do... why?
    OK the cpu that works in your laptop be cheap
    core-duo won't work in this chipset/socket... (not sure)

    but make sure that this device will do things like surf the internet ;-) not in water ;-)
    play the music, if the driver is installed
    and the hard drive with 40 GB of space will be sufficient, if you put all your cds top ;-)

    It may be a good idea to pay a specialist for this 20 minutes to check and install the proper drivers...

  • Satellite A100 PSAA2A - BIOS recognize only 1 GB of RAM after upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100 PSAA2A. RAM is up to 2GB (2 slots).
    Now, I have 256MB + 512 MB (Kingston KVR533D2/S4/512) total = 768 MB (Samsung 256 MB DDRII 533FSB).
    It works well

    I want to improve my RAM. I've got Kingston KTT533D2 / 1 G
    I have 512 MB + 1024 MB = 1.5 GB

    I removed 256 MB to 1 GB. Now she has 512 MB and 1024 MB
    But BIOS recognizes only 1 GB (Windows XP as well). I changed my slot machines, a different combination made - always 1 GB (not 1, 5 GB)

    I checked each memory separately 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024MB - works well, but combination of combination and 512 MB + 1024 MB 256 MB + 1024 MB do not work.

    I did a BIOS upgrade and set version 2.3

    Any ideas guys?

    Thank you.

    I m not sure but I think the problem are two different modules. They come from different manufacturers have different abilities.

    If you want to, or more than 1 GB RAM, use should use the same modules. At a time when prices are cheap.

    But you can also test the RAM with special tools like Memtest86:

  • RAM NB200 upgrade. HOW?

    Hello

    I think to upgrade memory of my netbook because it has 533 Mhz ram on board. So before buying new f, I tried to take a cache-location ram on netbook, but I failed. It seems that something locking cover, maybe someone knows what is the reason? Maybe I should take a main cover first?

    I also have a question about the type of RAM. That it fits better for this machine?

    Thanks in advance.

    I just made this upgrade of RAM and it took me a few minutes of fiddling around with the lid until I could go down and then another few minutes to put it back on after the upgrade. You can use your fingernail or a small screwdriver to jump off. To put it back on, just pushing it in, you will hear a click when it is resting itself.

  • Satellite L30-10 X - where can I get the new RAM for upgrade?

    Hello, world from Toshiba!

    I finally decided to spend my current RAM (2 x 512) memory in better and more useful work 2 x 1024. I'm willing to spend the right amount of money for the best solution and I really wanted to get the upgrade memory on the official website of Toshiba, but for some reason any he does not list my model (L30-10 X) in the list of laptops, in fact I can't find at all.

    Could someone please direct me to a site that sells official Toshiba products, or if you please inform me of a potential market of memory RAM (for example, Kingston, Corsair, PNY) which will work in my laptop?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello!

    I think that your model is not on the site of Toshiba, because it s an old but why you don't find your model on the Toshiba site, if you want to increase the RAM? Official website of Toshiba, you can order new RAM modules.

    I tried a bit with Google and I founded the part number for 1 GB RAM DDR2 400/533; It s PA3411U-1M1G.
    If you're looking for with Google too you should find a few online shops where you can buy it. Alternative contact you service provider allowed. They also sell new RAM for your laptop.

    And in my view you can also use RAM from Kingston for example. I have good experiences with Kingston.
    As far as I know Toshiba doesn't produce its own RAM. It s RAM other manufacturers like Kingston, but only with another label.

    Hello

    I think to upgrade the RAM on my Equium A100-147 and I was wondering what kind of RAM I should get and what is the maximum amount of RAM supported?

    It has a processor clocked at 1.6 GHz centrino duo t2050 if that's any help? I looked on the toshiba site and they sell only 1 GB of supported modules, but in other places I've seen people say that it can take more?

    Hi mate,

    The maximum RAM capacity depends on your chipset you have. From Toshiba Web site displays a maximum capacity of 4 GB of RAM, but don t forget, you need an OS to use the full capacity of 64-bit. Otherwise, you are only able to use about 3 GB.

    You can buy all the modules you want to, but I made good experiences with the Kingston modules. Kingston memory research shows the compatible modules for your laptop:
