Question: Upgrade of RAM for my HP Pavilion Media Center m7480n

First of all, I want to say hello to everyone on the HP Forum community and thank everyone for their help and support since his arrival at the Forum.

I have a HP Pavilion Desktop Media Center m7480n:

Card upgrade memory:

Hello

That your PC has two free memory slots, and you bought ram DDR2 533 MHz 2 GB (1 GB x 2) memory. Compatibility should not be a problem. You have the right type and the amount of RAM in your PC. Once installed, it will take the total of your system's RAM to 4 GB. However, the caveat is that 32-bit operating systems can use only 3.25 GB of the 4 GB installed. This is a limitation of the memory address. Most of the personal computer world continues to use the 32-bit Windows XP/Vista or 7 versions.

Upgrade from 2 GB to 4 GB would be beneficial for people who are heavy multitasking and running many background applications. In the field of heavy multitasking, the processor (CPU) begins plays a more important role, as an increase in the number of cores (e.g. upgrade of duals to four hearts) will prove beneficial, that simply increase RAM. I think that 2 GB of RAM should be sufficient for basic multitasking averages. Even most PC games benefit much from 2 GB to 4 GB.

However with the RAM being if pricey as it is these days, it never hurts the Pocket to upgrade. As you have already purchased the RAM, go and plug it by all means, you should see a marginal improvement in performance. You can check this document before you install the memory modules: upgrading memory (RAM)

Hope this has been helpful.

See you soon!

    Hi I need help, I plan on upgrading my Ram. My PC came with 2 GB of installed RAM (2 X 1 GB) and there are x 4 banks of memory. I ordered 2 x 1 GB RAM to go in 2 banks of memory left and they are the same specification as those already installed but I do not think that it the same manufacturing.

    For optimal compatibility, memory modules should all be the same density (512 MB / 1 GB) and from the same manufacturer... Which assure the chips on the module are identical.  It is strongly recommended that you buy only the modules that are guaranteed compatible. Brands like Kingston, Crucial, OCZ and Corsair come with this guarantee. No name brands may or may not work with your PC. Go on line on the site of manufacturers of memory and know what part number is guaranteed to work with your PC. Corsair Kingston CrucialOCZ

  • Upgrade of RAM for a Satellite A100-847

    I want to upgrade the RAM for my A100-847 of my current 512 MB by adding another module for 512 MB, but I face a problem of compatibility because looking at the manual only compatible modules is as follows:
    256 MB: PA3389U - 1 M 25
    512 MB: PA3412U - 1 M 51
    1 GB: PA3411U-1M1G
    I tried to look for a module with these codes, but I have found none in Romania. I could find a module of another manufacturer with the same specifications, but I don't know if these would work properly.
    So I need some advice.

    Thank you

    Hello

    the manufacturer that you saw? Will they have the same characteristics, then they should go up. The best decision would be to take some kingston or the essential modules. They have been tested to work well with toshibas, just so consider buy some kingstons with the specifications of the original toshiba modules and have fun with them.

    In the case of some other question just ask.

  • Upgrade of RAM for hp G62-451sa

    Hey, my names Tom and I'm new to this forum.

I have a 64-bit windows, and I'm looking for RAM upgrades.

But what can I use other upgrades of RAM for notebooks G62 like G62-450sa?

    Thank you

    Hi, Tom:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02542455.PDF

    Chapter 1 page 1-1 provides the memory upgrade information (Yes, you can install 2 x 4 GB of PC3-8500 memory or 10600).

    Just make sure you get chips with 8 black memories of each side of the Board.

    Unless you live in the United States, I know not what brands are available in other countries or where you can buy them.

    I have a Hp Pavilion Media Center Edition 2002 running. How will I know if I have all the patches and updates, I need? Also is free upgrade to the edition of 2005?

    Hi Philofduluth and thanks for posting.

    There is not a free upgrade for Media Center 2005. If this is something you would like to do, I contact your OEM manufacturer and ask if there is a software upgrade, they can provide you.

    If you have all the updates that are available for your system go to http://update.microsoft.com . Here, you can see all the latest reviews and optional updates that may be available to you and make install.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

  • HP Pavilion Media Center t3630: update the motherboard BIOS P5LP - THE visa of 6 GB of RAM / 3.5 GB usable (Windows 7 64-bit)

    Hello

    I added 3 GB of Ram and installed Window 7 Ultimate 64 bit on HP Pavilion Media Center t3630.it, I can't use all the RAM that I added. (Visa of 6 GB / 3.5 GB usable)

    The HP website is only a bios updated for XP and Vista.

    This forum has recommended to make a partition with XP or Vista (doesn't install system) what can I do?

    The motherboard is designed to work with four modules of 1 GB. It does not anymore.

  • Pavilion Media Center M8400f Bios Update for Windows 7

    HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f. The Vista operating system has been replaced by Windows 7 (64 bit) a number of years.

    I've updated one of my hard drives with a SanDisk SSD (it is now my main drive with the operating system and all my files on board).

    The bios on the PC has never been updated.

    The SanDisk SSD dashboard software will not recognize the SanDisk SSD as the system has designated the SSD as a SCSI device. I need to access the bios for this change to AHCI. The current bios does not support this.

    The PC has a card mother MCP61PM-HM. There is no update for Windows 7 BIOS for that motherboard I know (updates Vista only).

    　

    SanDisk gave me a link to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-82094-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&... that shows a card mother M2P61PM-HM for m8400f desktop PC. This Bios download supports Windows 7 (64 bit).

    Can update the Bios to download safely a card mother M2P61PM-HM for card mother MCP61PM-HM I currently have?

    Hello

    The HP BIOS update link provided SanDisk is an update of the BIOS of your PC. It is listed under Win Vista 64 bit driver downloads here.

    If you look at the site to download the drivers for your PC you'll only see driver support for Win Vista but on 2010-04-08, Version 5.29, 1.47 M BIOS updatedshows support for Win 7.

    But the problem is this: the BIOS updates must be performed using the PC operating system comes with; in your case, Win Vista. Extreme care must be exercised when updating the BIOS under normal circumstances. I would not classify your situation as usual.

    I saw others download an update of the BIOS for their PC and try to install an operating system upgraded with disastrous effects. The PC was bricked.

    Be prepared for the worst case if you try to install the update to the BIOS.

  • HP Pavilion Media Center m8200n Desktop PC upgrades tips and advice help.

    Hello everyone I have a HP Pavilion Media Center m8200n desktop PC that I'm looking to upgrade. Can someone please advice me on the following topics:

    Memory: What is the best possible that my system can contain that currently, I am running windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

    Video card: I'm looking to install a decent video with hdmi support card that my system can contain I am aware that I can not use certain cause of my ability video cards, the upgrade of the power may be an option. Can someone advice me please on these subjects, it will be very appreciated thanks everyone I'll be sure to rep and appreciate all help thanks.

    Without replacing the power supply, the EVGA NVIDIA GT 240 1 GB GDDR5 should work. This card is spec'd for a PSU with 18 amps of bus + 12 volts. This card can stretch your PSU, but give it a try.  I have this card in my system of m9200t.  This card will give the treatment a real helping hand from your video.

    Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

    How to replace a video card.

    Your PC will not work with memory dual channel and the processor will dictate the speed of transfer.  Wait for the upgrade of the processor until you see how the system works.

  • HP Pavilion Media Center m8160 Win7 upgrade?

    Will be my HP Pavilion Media Center m8160, running 32-bit win7, run a 64-bit version of Win8? My flag has an E4400 clocked at 2 Mhz.? I've already upgraded the card wirelessly with a compatible W8.

    Hello:

    The E4400 is a compatible processor 64-bit, your PC can run a 64-bit operating system.

    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/29753/Intel-Core2-Duo-processor-E4400-2m-cache-2_00-GHz-800-MHz-FSB?q=E4400

    Whether or not you will find W8 drivers for other devices in your model, I couldn't say for sure 100% that of course it will run W8 very well.

    A note... a 64-bit operating system uses more memory and disk space to run that operating system 32-bit, if you have less than 4 GB of memory in your PC, I would install more memory or install a 32-bit operating system.

  • HP Pavilion Media Center a1610n problem

    So I had this problem which started today.

    When I booted my PC: HP Pavilion Media Center a1610n - it goes to the startup screen with the HP logo but it remains just there frozen.

    Another thing I have noticed is my mouse and keyboard are not powered at all even though they are correctly connected to their respective ports.

    I don't know why he acts up like this now. I tried to connect the mouse to another PC and it worked, so there must be something wrong with the HP Pavilion itself.

    Wouldn't be the motherboard or some circuit?

    Other things to note that I got this PC reformatted all for more than a year with an installation of XP (as he came originally with XP).

    Restarted the PC and still has the same issues. CD Player opens, the PC itself is powered and the screen is frozen on the blue screen HP startup. (Shows the menu and controls everything, but can not yet exploited cause there is not going to the keyboard.)

    It is possible that a RAM module is either lost contact with the slot, or is defective. Can help with reintegration.

    (1) note what slots are occupied. Remove all the RAM of motherboard. Here's the tech manual. Put 1 module in the slot located near the CPU. According to the chassis, it could have a radiator/fan together.

    (2) unit to retest. Repeat with additional modules.

    (3) any module that tests OK can be reinstalled in appropriate accommodation.
