R40 2681 maximum GB memory upgrade - need help
Hello
You just bought an old IBM Thinkpad R40 type 2681 and know nothing of these things. Sorry if these questions are in the wrong forum, but I can't find anywhere else, he could go.
I tried searching for answers but the more I do, more confusing, it becomes so I thought I'd just ask and see if anyone responds.
1. I read that the maximum that you can increase the memory is 1 GB, but also found that said you can go up to 2 GB of messages.
What is the correct answer - 1 GB or 2 GB?
2. If the answer is 2 GB, the R40 will be able to use all or only 1 GB of it?
3. what brand will work in the R40?
The unit currently has a 256 MB & 512 MB inside.
4. it will make much more of a difference in the computer?
I hate to bore you with these basic questions, but I don't know anything about these, or any other laptops.
You can install any portable PATA/IDE size hard drive, a larger 320 GB / 5400 RPM.
Quick PATA drives are 7200 RPM are no longer made, everything is 5400 RPM of today.
You can install XP from a disk to the detail, or a set of recovery disks - your choice. Newer operating systems such as Vista and W7 doesn't play well with R40.
Good luck.

ThinkCentre fails to start after an attempt of memory upgraded. HELP, PLEASE!
Hi gurus of the Forum.
I am in an uncomfortable situation and hope that you will be able to help me.
I got an extra 2Gb (2x1GB hynix 1Rx8 PC2-6400-666-12) which I offered one of my dubious friends technologically to put its ThinkCentre (TC) level. The TC had 2x1Gb hynix PC2-xxxx-555-xx (I can find a model right, if necessary). Initially, he knew not why he needed this upgrade bui I convinced him that his TC will work better and more quickly thereafter. Stupid me...
When first, I added the additional modules and on the TC then it started beeping that I interpreted as a memory test failure. Then I removed the original modules and only nine - gave the same result. So, don't know why, I rekindled the TC without changing anything. This time it stopped beeping but not started either.
I gave up, returned the original modules, assembled the TC and guess what... HE STILL DOES NOT START!
Under heavy eves of my friend, I started to remove one element after another, tried different combinations, etc. Always the same. At the end, after 2 hours of productive work, I tried to start with just the motherboard and CPU: no memory no nothing. Still no sound...
So, I wonder what happened and, most importantly, what can I do to revive it. My ex-friend he needs very early next week, so all your comments, suggestions, ideas are welcome. Thank you very much in advance!
See you soon,.
guineapig.
Thinkcentre your friend there? We need a little more information, then this. In addition, when you upgraded ram have you tried to connect, so that you have removed all static electricity?
Finally, have you tried to use the CLR CMOS jumper on the motherboard to try to clear the cmos and then restart the desktop computer after that?

I'll make sure I have a Time Machine current backup before doing anything.
Then Yes you must use the installation DVD to format the drive. Then you can install the operating system. After that, you can restore from the backup Time Machine as you wish.

Need help for upgrade R2 of Alienware x 51: card graphics, RAM, power supply
Hi, about a year ago, I purchased the Alienware R2 x 51, and I want to improve.
Im a bit new to this so I need help, so I came on the forums.
Current form (these are the parts I want to improve):
GeForce® GTX 745 with 4 GB of DDR3 memory
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7-4770 processor
8 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY
You want to upgrade to these parts:
GTX 960
16 GB OF DDR3 MEMORY
I'm not sure things:
-I don't know if I currently have a 330w power, I heard say that because I have the R2 version of the x 51 Alienware, I 330w power (but I'm not sure so if someone can help with this, or tell me how do I know if I have a 330w PSU)
-Ive seen someone use this card with his alienware x 51 and it worked perfectly and I was wondering if it would work with my alienware too
www.Amazon.com/.../Ref=sr_1_5, qid = 1437994445 & sr = 8-5 & keywords = gtx + 960 + msi
- This card will fit in my alienware x 51?
- It will run smoothly?
-Last thing is I need help with the ram, I want to buy two 8 GB sticks and replace them with two 4 GB ones I currently have. I'm not sure which RAM should I get (if someone can help with this and leave a link) which is compatible with my x 51 alienware.
If you had something but the 645 GTX, GTX 745 or GTX 750 ti, you 330w POWER supply. The PSU is determined by what GPU, you, you no what revision. If you want to upgrade to the GTX 960 (the one you accessed is good), you must supply 330w (what I describe as a big black brick with an oval green LED). You probably have the 240w.
Most desktop DDR3 RAM should work with the X 51. Some will not be because they do not match (heat sink (?) too thick and rounded).

I Iconia Tab A500 running 3.0, need help update, I downloaded the entire updaes list in the supprt of acer, all versions, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 4., I read on the acer support somewhere I can use a microSD card to update my device, as acer provides automatically, when I try it says 'poor network connection '. moving instead of anthoer. ", I have to update all the updates that are listed, or can I only update, using the 4. 0? to get the last known update. I also downloaded, 'Documents, applications, drivers, patches and O.S... How do I intsaller all these updates, I think that running the lowest version available, please help me... Thank you in advance.
There are some instructions step by step on the site, but basically you check out the file "update.zip" download, copy to the root of a FAT32 formatted microSD card, then start in recovery mode (press one of the volume buttons [which it depends if you are landscape or portrait mode] and hold, then the power press and hold). From there, you can choose to update in the zip file it finds on the map.
It is important before you have the correct version of the update, it's different for different regions of the world, and you will not be able to upgrade the (for example) Brazil version from the US site.
