SL500 and I want to add more RAM

Howdy.

I have a new Thinkpad SL500, such as here: http://www.hemini.com/products/product_details.aspx?prodid=425737&cp=1&sc=1&sct=

It has an Intel Core 2 Duo (T6670) 2.2 GHz processor and 2048 MB of RAM.

I want to add more RAM to make it even more effective that I use a lot of programs, sometimes at the same time.

I wish it have 4 GB, and what I understand is the maximum that it is supposed to be able to handle.

Then what should I do? I buy a 4 GB of RAM and remove the 2 GB that I have now and install the 4 GB one?

Or should I leave the 2 GB RAM inside and just buy a 2 GB of RAM and add together inside?

In addition, the brand has a role? Wouldn't be brand of Lenovo? What other groups are good for RAM?

They are all the other things I have to consider buying RAM. ?

Thank you very much.

If you use 32 bit os I works perfectly with 4 GB but system uses 3 GB. Add the next module that means you probably have 2 GB module inserted. You can simply put another beside it mounted origin. Check with everest, aida, cpu - z or any other things how many modules is placed on your motherboard and you have free banks.

  • Satellite M70-131 - I want to add more RAM

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M70-131
    Part number: PSM70E-01500RAR

    I want to add more RAM, because I know you have to check three points to buy a new:
    -How can I add?
    -The type of RAM?
    -The number of the BIOS or BUS?

    I'm not sure about the third point, I know that I can add to 2G, and the type of RAM is DDR2.
    But if I have the right point, how can I check the number (BIOS or BUS)? Because I tried to add one, but did ' t work!

    Help me please
    Thnx 4 all

    Hello!

    The Satellite M70-131 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM and you have already said you need DDR2 RAM.
    Specification for RAM is DDR2 400/533 and you can add two modules with 1 GB of capacity of each module. The reference is PA3411U-1M1G.

    What do you mean with many BUS and BIOS? This has nothing to do with an upgrade of RAM.

    Good bye

  • Equium A100-303: looking to add more RAM

    Hello

    I recently bought a laptop equium A100-303 and am lookin to add more RAM. I was just wondering if it should be buffered or non-buffered or is it important?

    I currently have 1 GB of ram (512 + 512 MB as it is a dual core processor) and I'm looking to move to 2 GB (1024 + 1024). I know that the guy is PC4200, 200 pin SODIMM.

    Also where would be the cheepest place to buy these? Thank you.

    Hello

    > just wondering if it should be buffered or non-buffered or is it important

    Well, Toshiba has recommended using own memory as PA3411U-2M1G modules, but I put t find any information if the module supports ECC (means stored stamped) or Non - ECC (means not stamped)
    To my knowledge, the buffer ECC is about 30% slower than Non - ECC modules.

    He name of your choice what you will buy, but I would recommend purchasing a brand s module.
    I know modules without name are cheaper brand modules are much faster and performance, but the quality is better in the form of modules without name.

    So googel a bit and you will find many offers online. Simply compare prices

  • Initial size (MB) and maximum (MB) size should I use to add more RAM to my memory?

    I followed the instructions on a video on how to add more RAM to your computer without taking it apart.

    I followed all the steps up until I came to the part in the dialog 'virtual memory '.  Where it says, 'custom size' you have to put the ' initial size (MB) and the ' size maximum (MB).  How do I know what size to put in this area?

    I looked up my information on my computer:

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Memory: 1.00 GB

    System type: 32-bit

    Now, while I was following instructions to add more RAM.

    my computer displays this information:

    in the performance option dialog box:

    In the tab advanced under virtual memory, it is said:

    "page for all readers file size: MB."

    In the virtual memory dialog box:

    for the C: drive:

    There's the initial size (MB) - white

    and (MB) maximum size - White

    What should I do in this case?  What would be the initial size and maximum size?

    Hello Palette,

    You talk about 'virtual' non-physical memory. There is a difference.

    UPN based on the amount of RAM 'physical' you have in your machine the ' virtual RAM should be of approximately 1.5 hour of Aries. You have currently 1 GB of physical RAM Windows allocates already 1.5 GB RAM virtual and, frankly, it is better to let Windows manage the virtual memory file.

    If you want to improve then install the physical RAM more. Your guide to computer manufacturers will tell you to what maximum physical RAM, you can install and what type it is. I admit that I have changed the physical RAM to many times so know what I'm doing, but, frankly, it's less of a hassle to change the physical RAM which play with virtual RAM.

    RAM memory modules simply slide in and are cut in place. Change the RAM in a desktop computer is easier than a cell phone, but you will get much better results increase the physical RAM that you would changing virtual RAM.

    Of course, this is assuming that you need in the first place of the increased RAM. I recently increased my physical RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB and hardly noticed any difference.

  • I can add more ram to my dimension E510

    I was told that I needed more RAM to run my games.  CPU works real slow and all the time.  I have Windows XP Service Pack 3 in series.  My Dell is 6 years old and don't me you have confidence to buy another because of complications related to the death of my son, so I'm stuck with this one.  Please help with possibility to add more RAM for this 6 year old machine.  Thanks may Stevens

    We don't know how much memory you have, but this system can accommodate 4GB.

    You can read the manual of your system here:

    http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/systems/dim5150/en/OM/WD846A02.PDF

    A popular place to buy memory and have your system checked to see what you have now and what you may need is to use the scanner found here:

    http://www.crucial.com/

    Depending on what game you play, it can do not even work on your system (optimal).  Your system meet or exceed the requirements of game?

    If you are unsure of what you have right now, follow these steps (we can watch your video driver too):

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    Msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here.

    For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.

    There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.

    This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.

  • I have a HP Pavilion Elite i7 Desktop w Windows 7 and I want to add a 3 TB hard. I can?

    I have an i7 HP Pavilion Elite Desktop w 2 year, Windows 7 and I want to add a 3 TB hard.  Can I add a 3 TB hard (probably known as the Segate Barracuda XT 3 TB HD) as a secondary disk without changes.  If this is not the case, what should I do?

    Short answer is not really. You need UEFI BIOS to do, and your system did not come with it. You could add it, but only 2.2 to be visible as a single drive. Using utilities... etc. of the manufacturer of the HARD drive, you could partition to see the rest, but as hard disks get bigger, the BIOS must change to adapt. They changed, but still yours is the older BIOS inherited, and there is no way to change it to a UEFI version.

    Sorry
