RAM up grade hp pavilion dv7
I have a HP pavilion dv7 - 4153CL
It has 4 gig of ram and can go up to 8 GB. What I've read, it's a few times you can get 16 gig if your Bios is up to date. Is this true and if so how I updated the Bios so I can run more ram?
Hello
Pass in review Page 3 in your product manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02642701.pdf
Your laptop supports only up to 8GB.
There is nothing that can be done in the BIOS of your laptop to increase size.
If you plan on overclocking in the BIOS - to increase the speed of the RAM, which can also be done in this laptop,
Most of the laptops available for daily use is not configured for this.
Kind regards

Upgrade Ram on a HP PAVILION DV7
Salvation was curious what kind of ram was ok to upgrade with.
I tried to look at the site of suppport for this question but was unsuccessful. However if I missed it please tell me the correct link
My laptop is:
Description of the model: HP PAVILION DV7 - 6143CL
Model number: LW181UA
Running: Windows 7 64-bit
I visited this site: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02863115
If it does, this is the page of the plug for my laptop.
It is said that it takes DDR3 and up to a maximum of 16 GB.
However when I look at the DDR3 memory for laptops, I find plenty of options in terms of speed and latency cases.
Modules of memory DDR3 SO-DIMM will work?
Or a period of latency, speed and all will be better for my system than the others?
Thanks for all the help!
The upgrade is to go to the Web sites of memory well known manufacturers and see what they have to offer for your laptop. (Corsair, Crucial, Kingston and OCZ are a few well known memory andf respected manufacturers)
Do a Google search like I did to see what is available and find the market price. Once you know which specific modules are then you can contact the stores to see which ones they have.
Purchase memory modules only well-known state of manufactured products is guaranteed compatible memory for your laptop. If you don't like that then you are taking a gamble.
If you try to upgrade by looking at the specifications document, so you will probably find that the memory modules that you choose will disappoint you and cause your laptop to not start Windows.
"DDR3 SO-DIMM memory modules will work?" They must be specific and have been tested with your laptop. That's how important memory manufacturers are able to guarantee compatibility with the module.

Sorry think it was the wrong number, I gave the full name is HP pavilion dv7-6b05ea if all goes well which is a bit more useful, also came its a site saying I can switch to 16 GB and wanted to make sure that its correct before buying a link for the site here
This is correct information and Crucial is a great brand of memory. Crucial memory is guaranteed compatible memory when you use their memory finder. Take advantage of the 16 GB.

Is it useful to upgrade ram 8 GB - hp pavilion dv7 - 2043cl?
I'm looking for some advice about whether it would be useful to upgrade the RAM in my laptop 4 GB maximum of 8 GB.
I've had this laptop for over 5 years and I use it for games. I wonder if I will notice a difference in performance by simply upgrading the RAM, or if the processor speed, video card, etc., are or will be obsolete in the near future, and if I just save that money and put it to a new computer.
Here is the technical page of the computer: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01705991
Crucial lists kit upgrade for a little under $ 200.
Hello:
If the 2 x 4 GB memory DDR2 was $60,00 as if it was a few years ago, I would say go for it.
But now that it's $200 and more, I recommend that you put that money towards a new laptop or a model renovated better than what you have, with DDR3 memory.
You will probably notice some performance improvement, but not $200.

Hello
What is the maxium size & speed of Ram my Intel HP Pavilion dv7-1262us can support?
Any help is very appreciated.
Thank you.
You are the very welcome.
The chipset certainly supports up to 8 GB (2 x 4 GB), but the BIOS can not.
I have a HP Elite notebook with the same chipset Mobile Intel 45 6930p and I run 2 x 4 GB of PC2-6400 in mine.
But I have no idea if you can get away with that on your consumer class specifications when the manual does not indicate 8 GB.
The service manual for my phone say it can take 2 x 4 GB memory PC2 6400.
$100 dollars for every 4 GB PC2 - 6400 stick noise, it's much too much money to risk on a bet.

HP Pavilion dv7 3150eq Upgrade of RAM
Hello
I intend to upgrade the memory of my machine, but I can't seem to find the manufacturer and the speed of the current. I would like to buy exactly the same.
My laptop is HP Pavilion DV7 Entertainment PC 3150eq, currently, it has 4 GB and supports up to 8. Looked the specifications, but the only information it has 4 GB of DD3 RAM and the motherboard supports up to 8 GB of RAM. It does not say how many slots is 2, 4, etc.
Anyone know who is the manufacturer and the speed of the RAM memory installed on the laptop model? And if not to much to ask, how many slots memory is on the motherboard?
Thank you
I. Hinov
Hello

Each slot of memory can hold DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-8500 with a maximum of 4 GB per slot.Kind regards.

Pavilion dv7-6b76eo: upgrade of RAM HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo
I created a thread really well here and received great help from @Paul_Tikkanen so if he or someone else could help me, that would be great. Don't know why I can't post a reply in this thread again. They either closed the thread or I'm blind. In any case, I have the HP Pavilion dv7-6b76eo and plan an upgrade of RAM. Currently I have samsung 2 x 4 Go PC3-10600 / DDR3-1333.
1. I think go to ddr4, but what keeps me is some threads I have read saying ddr4 won't even in good physical shape in a ddr3 slot (which is my current) as well as this piece of info from Wikipedia:
DDR4 SO-DIMM have 260 pines (instead of 204 pin DDR3), which are evenly spaced more close (0.5, rather than 0.6 mm) and are 2.0 mm wider (69.6 against 67.6 mm), but still the same 30 mm in height.
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR4_SDRAM
- 204-pin SO-DIMM (DDR3) have a single notch closest in the center than at 200-pin SO-DIMM.
- 260-pin SO-DIMM (DDR4), 69.6 mm (2,74 in.) wide and 30 mm (1.2 inches) in height, making it wider than the DDR3 SO-DIMM, with one notch after pin 2 mm 144 (0,079 in.).
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SO-DIMM
This means that a chip of RAM SODIMM ddr4 wouldn't even in good physical shape in the slot of my laptop?
2. well, okay... If I have to make my peace with her and stay with DDR3 can I at LEAST faster DDR3 install i.e. PC3-17000 / DDR3-2133 because my current a PC3-10600 / DDR3-1333 is sorta slow sometimes?
Thanks in advance and would really appreciate an answer to the question 1 and 2 above!
I couldn't say with certainty.
But I have yet to see a 16 GB memory for a laptop card. "Yet."

Good so recently my computer has been doing slower and I thought that an upgrade of RAM could not wrong at all. If the amount of RAM would this laptop computer plug and what kind of RAM would be best? My processor is the Intel Core processor i5-2430 btw.

Hi guys, I have a Pavilion dv7-4114tx, which comes standard with 2 x 4 equal concert stick with 8 GB of ram. Can the dv7-4114tx, take two 8-gig sticks to match the 16 GB of ram.

Thanks in advance.

PS: the machine is out of warranty and it runs win7 64 bit and has an Intel i7 processor. The bios will address 16?
Hi @Gazzzz,
Please consult the page # 3 of the manual below where it shows the maximum RAM supported on this device is 8 GB. It is 4 GB on each slot.
