The 64 GB of RAM upgrade option OWC

Is it worth getting? Or 32 GB is plenty for most applications. Because I use 16GB on my work Mac Pro, I have a question the need all memory.

I am considering getting an iMac 27 "new 5K will be just to get the bare minimum 8GB and then increase by OWC RAM. Of course, I use Photoshop and normally have several programs running at the same time. I'm not heavy 3D or good video editing.

I think 32 GB is more than enough, but since it is a new system, I am considering the option of 64 GB for other and future proofing.

Thoughts?

Most users do not need for the even 64 GB 32 GB. Based on your indicated IMHO uses your new computer will give you plenty of reserve to 32 GB, but if it does not work on the road, you always have the possibility to opt for the 64GB.

  • XPS 8900 RAM upgrade options?

    Hi all

    I just got the Dell xps 8900 (had upgraded to 256 GB SSD, GTX 980 and now to upgrade some DDR4 RAM.)

    I see she has 2 of the MTA8ATF51264AZ-2G1A2 4 GB SDRAM Micron now, my option I can get more for Memory4less 117,60 $2 to make it 16 GB of total RAM?

    However, I see some Crucial memory (32GB) for almost the same price, but do not know if those that are compatible with the xps specification 8900.

    Please let me know what RAM upgrade you have or suggestions for me.

    Thank you

    hskb

    Go to the website of Crucial and which is compatible with your model. Essential is a good place for the memory of a dell computer. Corresponding exactly what you already have is always a good choice but if you buy from Crucial ram, get it directly from Crucial instead of a 3rd party vendor. It's too risky. Essential guarantees that their ram working or you can return it.

  • Satellite P100 - 216 (PSPADE) - CPU / RAM upgrade options

    Hello guys,.

    I just got a laptop Satellite P100-216 (PSPADE-01400UEN). (card: T5500 - GeForce Go 7600 512 mb, 200GB)

    It has a Core 2 Duo T5500 inside and I intend to upgrade as well as the RAM to make a good laptop for my wife.

    The question if CPU is supported (assuming that the latest version of the BIOS). I am interested in the series with FSB800 or same T9000 T7000 series (1066fsb) shall if possible because I can get them pretty cheap - I know that the T5500 is just 667fsb by itself, so I wonder if the higher FSB is supported or I stay with 667 Mhz.

    Have searched through the net, but no information so far. Would not buy CPU only for it being not recognized by the laptop.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Kind regards

    It is very nice for laptop and if you want to upgrade the RAM upgrade for your wife. In combination with the operating system pre-installed and optimized its own missus will be like to work on this machine.

    Upgrade of RAM is quite problematic and you can do it alone. what you need to do is get the compatible modules and high quality.
    I think now P100 has 2 GB of RAM, but you can upgrade to 4 GB.

    As compatible modules, you can use
    TOSHIBA
    PA3513U-1M2G (memory 2 GB DDR2-667 Kit) or

    Kingston
    KTT533D2 / 2G 2GB 533 MHz Module
    KTT667D2 / 2G 2GB 667 MHz Module

    On the CPU upgrade, I would just say that we forget. As a first step, it is not necessary to do so and secondaly - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  • RAM upgrade options

    Hello, I have an Alienware M14x, I bought in 2011, which came with 6 GB of RAM installed. I have a performance issue to play games and said that an upgrade of RAM would be useful. I cant' seem to find anywhere what the maximum amount of RAM that I can install.

  • Need help of the correct SAS 2.5 upgrade option "HDD for PowerEdge T620

    I want to add the disk to an existing Dell PowerEdge T620 (service tag GTPKDV1) storage. The vehicle currently has 7 300 GB SAS 2.5 "hot, two virtual drives (300 GB RAID1) and RAID5 1116 GB replaceable drives. There are 16 bays.

    Browsing the Dell store for server upgrade parts I am surprised not to see that two form factors for of 2.5 "10K rpm SAS drives. only 300 or 900 GB. Nothing to do with higher speeds or more capacity! And I'm not even sure, one of the search results is really 2.5 "because the Web site product description does not indicate the size at all.

    300 GB of the manufacturer: 15NM6 | Dell reference: 342-2016 (accessories.dell.com/.../productdetail.aspx

    900 GB of the manufacturer: TPMWF | Dell reference: 342-4143 (http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Hard_Drives_Storage/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=bsd&cs=cabsdt1&sku=342-4143&mfgpid=225343)

    The 900 GB is described as a hybrid drive. What is a drive hybrid? Isn't SAS, SAS?

    There are several results that seem to be variations on the 300 GB 10 K 2.5 "disk SAS6. They are all the same product? Why the different reference numbers?

    The H710p wouldn't even try to use the 300 to rebuild the 1.8 TB drive failure, as the reader will not be perceived as a Hot Spare for this virtual disk. A 300 GB global Hot Spare would be able to rebuild any 300 GB or more small disc. If the Global Hot Spare is a 1.8 to it should rebuild one of these virtual drives.

    Hello

    Don t be not shy, just try it. You must use force. A little tip: when you put the lever in the slot, then bend the clips a LITTLE outside the module can easily break into the slot.

  • E6540 Latitude Ram upgrade options

    I am looking to buy a laptop computer Latitude E6540. Intel lists the 4th Gen Mobile CPU like that can support up to 32 GB of RAM, the E6540 will support this amount of RAM? Dell doesn't offer her as an option but wonder if 3rd party memory will allow this configuration.

    Hello MattRelouw,

    Memory maximum support by Dell Latitude E6540 is 16 GB and has never been tested with 32 GB. However, as 4th Gen Mobile CPU supports up to 32 GB of memory, the system can support 32 GB memory. Any brand of memory should do.

  • problems with wireless after the motherboard, cpu and ram upgrade adapters

    As the title says, I have recently updated my card mother, cpu and ram (increased from Asrock extreme6 z77/i7 3770 k/Kingston 8 gb hyperx for EVGA ftw/i5 z97 4670 k/g. Skill ripjaw x 16 gb). I always use the same installation of Windows 7 64 via the same SSD. After I was installing new equipment, I used the disc that comes with the motherboard and installed all the drivers that were available (twice, just to be safe). All the features of the OS I had before seem to be there except to exit Device Manager to correctly install the drivers for my wireless (Linksys AE1000 and TP Link N900) adapters. I downloaded the current driver for the Linksys Web site and I have the disc for the TP-Link and I tried several times to install, but keep the same message ' Windows found driver software for your device, but has encountered an error trying to install it. Device Manager recognizes the device and it is not any question of State symbol (IE yellow triangle, etc.) that is displayed in conjunction with an adapter. I tried disable/re-enabling and uninstall/re-installing times and keep having the same problem. I tried to search in several forums of people with similar problems, but none of the resolutions seem to work or are suitable for my situation. Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hello

    When you upgrade your motherboard, cpu and ram, drivers for particular devices may not be related to other drivers. That's why I suggest you to install all the drivers for the chipset from the manufacturers website and see if that helps.

  • HP 15-p121ne: the HP 15-p121ne Ram upgrade

    It is possible to update HP 15-p121ne ram 12 GB or 16 GB

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Link to download the manual

    See pages 3-104. The manual says 12 concerts is the maximum supported, but indicates also the Intel models have only a single memory slot, non-accessible customer. Whatever the memory slot configuration you have it requires removal of the motherboard to get (them). Notice there is a single module part 16 gig referenced on page 104, but he says it's only for AMD models.

    Everything that my answer to your question is 'no' provisional. I'm gathering that one module of 8 GB, you need, is the maximum configuration of the RAM. Most people have no real need for more than 8 GB of RAM. What you're trying to make you believe that you need 12 or 16 GB?

    Hi, Nick:

    One of our experts at the top of the forum (DavidPK) page suggested that you look at this solution to the question of memory you meet...

    I quote David:

    "In the system startup tab Configuration screen, the Advanced Options, it proved that there is a check mark in the maximum memory box.  Once removed and the applied change, Windows recognized all the Ram (less the reserved) after the reboot. »

    If please give than to try and post back and let us know if that frees a memory system for you.

  • How can they take advantage of the Windows 7 upgrade option?

    The Windows 7 upgrade Option begins officially today that gives a free copy of W7 with Windows Vista PCs and laptops, and I wanted to know how I can take advantage of this offer when buying on the Toshiba site?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I searched on some pages of Toshiba for some details about this upgrade option and found the same pages published by Luke.

    It should be useful.

  • Expiration of the Windows 7 upgrade option!

    Hi, I bought a Toshiba laptop a few months before Windows 7 came out, making sure he had a Windows 7 upgrade option. I didn't upgrade when W7 came out because there could be problems with a new version - obviously I thought that I would wait to see how it was received. In any case, a friend of mine convinced me the other day that it is much better than Vista and I had to upgrade, but now I thought that there was a time limit on the upgrade option, and it expired on 28 February - last Sunday! I can either spend - I missed the boat. I called the customer service, but all they could do was repeat what the web page - the option has expired so far go.

    I'm not at all happy about this because at no time I tells me that there is a limit of time on it. He didn't say it in product information, or outside of the box or what be provided inside the box. I had no idea that I had to do before the end of February for this - if I did I would have done it.

    As far as I'm concerned, I paid for Windows 7. The upgrade option came as part of the cost of the laptop without any mention of a deadline. Toshiba can not see it like that, but it's a reasonable person would believe according to the information provided. Did someone else upset about this? I hope posting here will inspire the action without me having to be made to the small claims court. There is no way that this may be eligible under the law of consumption. Imagine a person selling a book token that had a period of 6 months without telling them and without printing anywhere on the token! That may not be legal.

    If all goes well, there will be a few of us to exert pressure on this issue.

    Luke.

    Hello

    I have ordered the Win7 upgrade kit at the right time and now use Win7 on my Satellite A300.

    What I can say is that this forum is nothing but forum users and here you won't find any option just official statement by people like you and me.
    Another thing, this downloadable image. As far as I know that something like that can not be downloaded.
    What you can do now is to buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version of Win7.

    I don't know what model of laptop you have, but all new laptops are supported Win7 and you can find all the important factors, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page.

  • ProBook 440 G2: RAM Upgrade will void the warranty?

    Hello

    After a lot of dilemma, I buy THISlaptop.

    My main concern is the "on-site 5-year guarantee" it comes with.

    This laptop has now only 4 GB of RAM. I want to add an another 4 GB myself.

    In doing so, it will take Bay opening to service the laptop.

    Open myself for a RAM upgrade will void the warranty?

    In addition, no one knows how much total RAM this computer supports? How many slots is there?

    The page of the product didn't.

    I tried to contact HP technical support by email, and I have to enter a serial number to reach them. I entered the serial number of my laptop current (and also a probook), but I think that the agent did not read my email properly. Instead of answering my question, he sent me a link to extend the warranty on my laptop today.

    Thank you...

    Hello

    According to the Manual, it has 2 slots:

    See Page 2, 3, 47, 48, to get the instructions before and during the replacement process. Even if it is a simple procedure if you do not have confidence in replacement, it gives to the HP service center, they will do it for you. Opening the door to service memory will not void the warranty - but if you daamage something in the replacement process, it will void the warranty.

    Please get the exact configuration and preference of the same brand (like this one in the slot) of RAM, mentioned in the manual.

    You can run this toolto know the details of the installed RAM sticks & moving forward with the purchase of od sizes appropriate sticks needed to make it to 8 GB in total.
