Ram 8 GB upgrade

Hello world

I have Lenovo T61 and I want to increase the RAM up to 8 GB.

Is this possible? And the machine supports the DD3 RAM?

Also, the 2 GB already installed on the device placed in a slot or spread over the two RAM slots?

It does not support DDR3, only DDR2, 667 mhz or faster work. If you are installing faster ram the system will slow down he up to this speed, if you install slower ram the system will try to run at 667 mhz and may become unstable. I've seen before, but it is not recommended.

In most cases your system would be delivered with 2 chips, a GB each, but it is possible to have a 2 GB module. Your most cost-effective combination is 2x2gb (4 GB) that you can buy for about $40 (usd). If you want 8 GB 2x4gb, you will need and has recently doubled in price from about $80 to more than $150. I suspect memory manufactures have noticed this and are retooling to make DDR2 ram for now, then it would probably be a good idea to wait if you're on a budget, but no one knows where the price will be next month.

    Hello

    I think that you should also check your RAM upgrades for user manuals. As far as I know that you can upgrade your laptop with 4 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can use DDR2-533 modules. You buy from an authorized service provider or Kingston modules also recommendable.

    Upgrading the CPU is not supported. BIOS and motherboard are tested only with the preinstalled CPU.

  • 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.

    I also want to improve the ram memory, the laptop has only 1 slot 4 GB ddr3 1600 mhz, but is single channel. Which model should I buy to work in dual channel I use cpu-z to identify the model and it shows me hmt451s6mfr8a do I need exactly this or I can put another ty of manufacturing 2.

    This upgrade with SSD is not supported by Toshiba, so everything you do is at your risk. Check this forum please. If I m remembering although some people have already posted own experiences.
    I think that in most cases they ordered this caddy HDD/SSD but the drive was not recognized at all.

    In my opinion, you must perform these updates.

    RAM
    Up to 16 GB of RAM according to specification for laptop, you can put on level and on the lower part under the cover of memory, you should find two memory locations. How to change RAM is described in s. manuals check please page 72.

    I want to upgrade RAM and HDD (SSD) in my computer laptop HP Pavilion 15-p045TX, please answer my money issues:

    I have a 64 Bit Windows 10 installed on my laptop.

    Associated with RAM-

    (1) I have 2 RAM slots, 1 is used with ADATA 8 GB of RAM, which is the maximum limit of RAM that I can use in my second slot (8/16)?

    (2) is it expandable to Rams 2 * 16 GB (32 GB total)?

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See page 3 of the memory card. It is said 12 GB is the maximum, but we know from experience, you can install 2 x 8 GB in total 16 concerts. No 32 GB. It must be low voltage, and if you already have a single module of 8 GB you want to duplicate its specifications. If it has 8 black blocks on the side, you need to get a module like this.

    It is not easy to work on this system. You must remove the top cover to get to the hard drive Bay and remove the motherboard to add RAM. See p. 105 and 116.

    Module of memory of 8 GB 693374-005

    There's a 16 gig module listed, but it is for AMD laptops with a single location and will not work on your motherboard, even if you could find it.

    https://www.Amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-1600MHz-PC3-12800-KVR16LS11/DP/B00CQ35HBQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & qid = 1475841671 & SR = 8-1 & Keywords = 693374-005

    You can install a type SATA 2.5-inch 1 TB SSD. There is no definitive list brands supported. People sometimes have problems with some specific SSD as some determinative seem to cause problems, but the Evo to Samsung 850 is a good choice with a record few if any questions.

    The computer does not know if she is running only Windows or Linux and the RAM or the SSD works with Linux or Windows, or in dual boot. The Linux kernels current used in the current distributions like Ubuntu 16.04 SSD handle very well with a maximum return.

  • Qosmio G20 - RAM and GDD upgrade advice needed

    Hi all

    I have decided to try to give my old g20 renewed life with a few updates, but could do with a few tips before you start to throw money at it.
    The first and most obvious update will install two sticks of 1 GB memory and I was thinking about crossing the old hard disk of 80 GB 5400 RPM to something big and I hope more quickly as a 320 GB 7200 RPM, any advice on this would be appreciated because I don't know if this is possible.

    I was also wondering if the cpu can be upgraded and if someone knew were I could get a new mine cpu fan has become noisy.

    Thanks for you time all tips, ideas and input would be much appreciated.

    2 x 1 GB RAM will be fine. You must use the RAM that has the same speed and timings of CASE/RAS similar as the original of the RAM. Avoid the "Value RAM."

    With respect to the HARD disk, a 120 GB should certainly work, but 320 GB * could * be too large depending on what the Chipset and BIOS can support. Maybe an other G20 owner here it can confirm works, or search the Qosmio for "HARD drive" section

    With respect to the processor, you must be careful when upgrading it. Look at the other models of the G20 and determine what the CPU the fastest they have. This way you can almost guarantee it will work properly.
    If you install a faster processor is faster than what is available in the range of the G20, may not be detected correctly and the cooling fan isn't able to manage the production of heat, causing the laptop overheats.
    Also, I think that a special utility must be run to calibrate the CPU. In my view, that the ASP have access to this utility. The CPU can run very slowly if this utility is not running.

    An FSL may replace the noisy fans for you and remove any accumulation of dust at the same time.

  • Re: Satellite M70-131 - RAM and CPU upgrade

    Hello, I have 2 questions:
    1 is it possible to install more then 2048 MB RAM in M70 - 131. If someone tried this?
    2. is it possible to install the new processor of M70 - 131? Now, i've got Pentium M (750) 1, 86GHz (Dothan, 533 MHz). Can I install for example Pentium M (780) 2.26 GHz or higher?

    Hello

    The M70 supports max 2 GB of RAM and upgrade the CPU is usually not possible and undesirable for different reasons.
    In most cases the overheating is the main reason why you shouldn't t try to upgrade the processor. Secondly, the BIOS was not designed to handle the different processors and no one will be able to tell if your cell phone will work stable after an upgrade of the CPU.

  • Satellite M200 does not start after the RAM 4 GB upgrade

    Hello

    I recently updated my RAM just to speed things up a bit as RAM is so cheap these days.
    I have a MEAC M200 T2130 Vista with 1 GB sticks (2 * 512).

    The new sticks are 2 * 2 GB Dane - elec DDR2 pc2-5300, when I put the two and restarted the hard drive light came briefly and then it is just options BIOS of Idol, no POST.

    I tried to use a single stick of 512 MB with two new sticks and they both work in a 2.5 GB configuration just not together that also this only works when the stick of 512 is in internal housing and not vice versa.

    So if someone has had a similar prob or can give me some advice that would be great, I'm not sure if the motherboard can support 4 GB?
    Thank you, Dave.

    Hello

    There are two possibilities why your M200 doesn't not start after upgrading RAM.
    First the RAM installed may be not compatible or could be faulty or the computer laptop doesn't support 4 GB of RAM.

    I put t know what M200 do you have exactly, but you can check the installed chipset and could check on the Intel page if this chipset would support 4 GB of RAM.

    I want to improve my ram from 4 GB to 8 GB or 16 and my 500 GB HDD 120 GB SSD.
    The problem is that I'm not sure what RAM and SSD is compatible.

    and Adata first Pro sp310 128 GB SSD.
    They will be compatible with my laptop? If not, what are those who do you suggest?
    Thanks in advance.
    Any help is very appreciated!

    It will take 8 gigs. It is aka PC3-8500 SO-DIMM DDR3-1066 and is the part specified in the Manual:

    The modules, PC3 memory, 1066 MHz FSB 4096 MB 579156-001 ■

    The memory you chose will likely work, but sometimes the fastest memory will not downclock and laptop computers HP certainly prefer low density memory, 8 blocks on each side not 4.

    The SSD that you selected will be OK, but I encourage you to spring for at least a 240 GB model. 128 GB is a bit of containment in the current environment and SSD prices are low, as is the memory. Never been a better time to upgrade. I just took a 240 on eBay, major brands, for $56 shipped.

    I have EliteBook 8440p with i7 M620, 4 GB of RAM and WIndows 7 64 bit installed.

    I wanted to update my RAM 8 GB as suggested here and bought 2 x 4 GB RAM of:

    KINGSTON ValueRAM 4 GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) SDRAM-DDR3 CL9-9-9 204pin 1.5 Volt

    I replaced the 2 GB card at the back of the laptop with the Kingston 4 GB and when I started windows:

    • The BIOS showed 6 GB of RAM
    • But blocked when Windows starts, your stay at the black screen with the "starting Windows" without the points colored forming in a window.

    I tried to restart, but no change.

    No idea which can try to solve this problem, or switch to 8 GB?
