RAM: quantity and speed for Compaq Presario CQ60-119tu - I can't understand it!

Hi, I'll have trouble determining how much & how fast the RAM is that I can install in a "new to me" old computer that I just inherited.

The manual is not very clear, it seems to say 3 GB or 4 GB, but I don't know that (Page 1-3 of the user's guide has a picture that seems to contradict itself...)    All RAM online vendors say 4 GB ', but maybe they are just trying to make more profit, I can actually use only 3 GB?

The specifications also seem to say what speed of DDR2 ram, can I use... but a computer store guy that I talked to said it's important to know.

can anyone help?  Thank you very much!

Hello:

The info on the card product page and repair are fragmentary.

Max memory that works in your notebook is DDR2 2 x 2 GB = 4 GB.

As your laptop processor is a celeron and a 667 MHz front bus speed, which would lead me to believe that you will install memory PC2-5300 (667 MHz).

You can also install memory PC2-6400 (800 MHz), but it will downclock to 667 MHz.

The best thing to do is to confirm what I said by running memory Crucial free analysis tool, which will report how much and how fast memory you can install.

However, I'm pretty confident that what I said is correct.

    Because your laptop with a celeron processor, it has the Intel GL40 chipset.

    This means that the best processor you can install is the Pentium T3400, because the GL 40 chipset can run than processors with front side bus to 667 MHz.

    Hello

    I am looking for a software driver coprocessor for compaq presario cq60 for Windows 10 operating system. Windows Update could not find my driver. HP support shows also the coprocessor driver. I think due to not installing the driver the logoff process is very slow and it takes about 8 minutes to close.  If you have the driver, please give me the link to download.  Thank you.

    Hello:

    I don't know what file you are talking about.

    The sp45168 of 32-bit file, or SMU 64-bit file I have attached.  The 32 bit sp45168 file is a valid exe file.

    If you are referring to the SMU 64 bit file that I have attached, everything that you do with, i.e. download and uncompress the latter in his file.

    You do not do anything with the files in the folder.  There is no exe file to launch.

    You navigate to the folder that you have unpacked from the coprocessor in Device Manager device by clicking the coprocessor, click the driver tab, and then click Update driver, click Browse my computer for driver software option, navigate to the folder of the driver EMS that you unzipped.

    Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and the driver should install.

  • The Rams - EE of Compaq Presario CQ60-116 upgrade

    Hello

    This is my first post so I think I erased my point of view, which may not be 100% good.

    In any case, short story...

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ60 - 116 EA
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00820047

    and I would like to upgrade of his memory, I know that it can take up to 4 GB, but I'm not sure of the maximum speed of memory the motherboard can take and use fully without being too high speed. (for example, I won't buy a 1333 MHz Rams beacause I know that it is more than enough and that it is a waste of money)

    I am confused between buying a 667 MHz or a 800 MHz. So, could someone give me a hand here please

    Thanks in advance...

  • Keyboard and trackpad which does not Compaq presario CQ60

    Help!

    My keyboard and trackpad on my Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop do not react and do not have external devices to see if it is an internal matter. Cannot restart in Mode safe as the keyboard is unresponsive, however it allows me to type my password to access vista! I think I just lock the computer, but do not know how unlock, various forums have specified relocation drivers etc, but I am unable to do this without functional keyboard and do not know how if I pressed a key combination that caused it. I don't know if it's a problem of Vista or Compaq/HP.

    Immensely from any help appreciated!

    as far as I know, if you can type your password on the login screen, then the keyboard works, if the problem appears after the connection or it will appear when you are on your desktop screen, it may be a problem of operating system or a problem with corruption of user account

    the keyboard would be a hardware failure, if when you turn on your nb, there will be no ligts on the keyboard will make the capslock key does not illuminate or does not at all as long as you turn on the nb

    for the touchpad, try to check if its or disable... If there is a light orange above the touch pad then sound off, toggle the switch the light to turn to blue...

    so before anything else... TRY THIS FIRST!

    1. remove the battery

    2 disconnect the power adapter

    3. no power supply at all, press in and hold the button for 1 min... Be sure that it will be 1 min...

    technically, we call this HARD RESET... This process would free electricity static that could be included on the power button spout these electrostatic charges sometimes causes harware malfunctionalities...

    then it this step does not work... do this...

    try to go into safe mode by continuously pressing F8 during startup (press F8 when you see the hp invent screen), then you will be directed to advance startup options... Choose last known good config... Then, it will boot to the last known good setting...

    Please let me know if this does not work...

    Otherwise, ' choose repair your computer "on the start options... Choose the American keyboard layout... so if asked for a user name and password, you can change the administrator username username and then put your password... If you do not use any password leave it blank... then choose Startup Repair...

    Please let me know if this does not work...

    I hope this helps...

  • Which hard drive do I need for my compaq presario CQ60

    which hardd drive do I need for my Compaq Presario CQ60? And where would be a good place to try to get a quality for a lower price? Thanks advance.

    Hello

    The player at the link below is an example of one that would be great for your laptop computer, as long as it's the same capacity or larger than your current HARD drive.

    Hard drive 320 GB

    The procedure to replace the hard drive is detailed from Page 51 in your & Maintenance Guide.

    Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive.

    If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.
