upgrade memory dv7

I'm looking to upgrade the memory on a dv7, currently of 4 GB (2 x 2 GB).  Can I use 1 - 4 GB & 1-2 GB for a total of 6 GB or memory sticks must be the same size?

Hello:

Maintenance manual is in contradiction with some of the dv7 features I saw in the pages of model where it says maximum RAM is 8 GB.  I think that the info in the service manual can be updated.

If Max RAM 8 GB is in fact correct, you can install a 4 GB + 2 GB, but it will work a little better if you install a 4 + 4, then he runs in DDR mode. You will get no error of memory or anything at startup, if that's your concern by installing a 4 + 2.

I look at the service manual for your notebook from the series, and it indicates the maximum RAM is 2 x 2 GB (4 GB). See page 3.

  • Pavilion dv7 - 1247cl: upgrade memory dv7 - 1247cl

    It is my understanding that my Pavilion dv7 - 1247cl can support up to 8 GB memory max.  The laptop will support a 8gig stick, or should it be 2 4 gig sticks?  In addition, if it supports a key of 8 GB, the memory would work faster compared to the two port?

    It's DDR2-800 SO-DIMM memory. I don't think they ever done 8 sticks of concert of this type of memory and if they did, it would be very expensive. The best price I could find on the last person who asked about the DDR2-800 memory for a kit of 2 x 4 GB (8 GB total) exceeded $150:

    http://www.Amazon.com/Komputerbay-PC2-6400-DDR2-800-SODIMM-channel/DP/B003D18Q7W/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&QID=1419373144&SR=8-6&keywords=DDR2-800+so-DIMM

    2 identical modules will run in mode dual channel which is about 8 to 10% of the memory faster performance.  So 2 x 4 is faster that 1 x 8 would be, if there was even such a thing as a module of 8 GB, I think not there.

    I don't think that the difference between 4 and 8 GB is going to be worth $ 155, personally.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-6c05ev: upgrade memory (M471B5273DH0-CK0 to M471B5173QHO-YK0?)

    Hi all!

    I have a Pavillion DV7-6c05ev. The product number is A8V36EA-B1A.  I'm trying to upgrade memory. On board, there are two modules of 1.5 volt. (2 GB Samsung M471B5773DH0-CH9 and 4 GB Samsung M471B5273DH0-CK0 and they work ofal channel). I am buying a second module M471B5273DH0-CK0, to have 8 GB dual channel.  I ordered a new, but I got a Samsung M471B5173QHO-YK0 instead of CK0. The YKO runs on 1.35 v and 1.5V, but I'm afraid to pair them up, because maybe something could go wrong with tensions. I found another store and ordered again CK0, but again, I received YKO. So now I have two new YKO. What do you think is it safe combine the old with the new KATE CKO (sellers insist that KATE is the replacement of CKO and will work fine on 1.5V, it will automatically choose the correct voltage. And the other question is, as long as I have two YKO, can I use these two as a pair?  There are exactly the same, but it is made in China and one in the Philippines, but I don't think it's a problem. And replace the two old memories? Is the compatible with my model M471B5173QHO-YK0?

    (I found another seller with CKO, but I did not want to risk again. From what I understand, they have the old code on their pc, but there is a new, replacement, M471B5173QHO-YK0, and they ship the other. The question is if I can match up with the old CKO and return the second YKO, or keep two YKO and use them with my laptop).

    Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards

    No this is essentially the same thing. The 11 first is the latency CASE and the second number is not really speeds, but the SPD versions and then the B4 is just an internal reference to manufacturers for the memory form factor. The computer will see these 2 identical modules.

  • Pavilion dv7, upgrade memory with faster modules

    Hello

    PC10666 memory modules can be used to upgrade Pavilion dv7 3170em (WC152EA)?

    It is currently 2x2gb modules clocked at 533 MHz, will replace the two modules.

    I intend to replace them with KINGSTON ValueRAM or Transcend JM1333KSN - 4G 4 GB at 667 MHz modules.

    These modules can be used, i.e. they can downlclock at 533 MHz?

    TIA,

    Davor

    In the end, I found 533 MHz modules at a decent price, so I bought two 4 GB G.Skill F3 - 8500 CL 7 modules. Did some burn-in tests, everything works OK.

    Kind regards

  • Upgrade memory on an all in a single LX830

    I may upgrade the 4 GB provided to meet the requirements of the program. Additional memory needs to be installed in pairs? The existing 4 GB occupies a dwelling, can I mount 8 GB in another location or it will be incompatible?

    Well, mainly upgrade memory depends on the support of the chipset/CPU.

    Not quite sure what computer Toshiba LX830 do you have exactly but as far as I know the L830 all in one units would support up to 16 GB of RAM.

    A property used by a 4 GB RAM module and housing is free.
    This is why it must be able to use another additional module of 8 GB RAM.

    But of course, another module of 8 GB RAM should be compatible with the current 4 GB of RAM.
    Otherwise, you will get some compatibility issues

  • Upgrade memory on NB300-108

    Looking to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB on my NB300-108

    Have you looked at the website of Toshiba and the cost, but there seems to be a plethora of alternative sites with upgrades memory compatible when I put in the part number.

    Would like to receive experiences in the forum about alternatives etc.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The laptop supports DDR2 800 MHz SO-DIMM or PC2-5300 (DDR2 667 Mhz) modules.
    These modules are provided by different companies.
    There are good quality modules and less quality modules

    Of course, you can choose and buy the cheapest, but in this case, you use the risk of compatibility problems.

    I made good experiences with RAM from Kingston. These are of good quality and not too expensive modules

  • Upgrading memory on the NB550D - 11 d - 4 GB of RAM are possible

    To anyone who thinks of a memory upgrade on the NB550D:

    The NB550D supports up to 4 GB of memory, not only 2 GB as mentioned by Toshiba in their specifications.
    Upgrade memory to 2 GB is _only limited_ by the pre installed Windows 7 Starter OS, and not by the netbook itself.

    I use Linux Mint 11 Katya, 64-bit and my system works perfectly well with a 4 GB ram module. If you want to use the full support for 4 GB ram, get rid of the Win 7 Starter operating system.

    Specifications for more memory ram volume are DDR3 1333 MHz PC3-10600 SO-Dimm. I chose a 4 GB of Corsair module, because of the guarantee of 30 years of offers from Corsair.

    It took me a while to find this out hope, that this will be a help to all those who are just as secure as I was how to upgrade memory NB550D. Good luck. (o).

    Thanks for the comments

    Also it of important to mention than the 32-bit systems (not serious if its Linux or Windows) would recognize only 3.2 GB since it is a limitation of 32-bit
    So to use all of the 4 GB RAM 64-bit system is required.

  • Question about upgrading memory Satellite M55-S1001

    can you please recommend what to do? I want to make my satellite m55-s1001 run faster please let me know, what do you recommend: 512 MB or 1 GB of memory? I'm not familiar with updates so please help!

    Hello

    First of all, if you want to go for fastest laptop, you should start with simple things.
    Try to defragment the disk, turn off the background process is not necessary, etc.
    Upgrade memory will the powerful laptop and of course a lot more quickly.

    To my knowledge the Satellite M55 should support the bars of memory 2 x 1024MB, and I also recommend the use of 1024MB instead of 512 MB module.

    Hi Ben

    Maybe you used the memory modules bad.
    As far as I know that you can upgrade memory for max 192 MB
    The 64 MB has been installed in an internal memory and cannot be deleted.

    I found these compatible modules:
    PA3003U - 1 M 03 32 MB
    PS3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB
    PS3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB

    Hi mate.

    As far as I know your laptop supports two memory locations.
    They must be placed at the bottom of the unit.
    If you n t know how to change this then I recommend consulted the user manual!
    The manual can be downloaded from the Toshiba European page.
    I think that the laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. So, you can use 1 GB of RAM in one slot.

    PS: you must use the RAM DDR2 PC2-4200 memory - 200pin modules

  • HP ENVY Sleekbook 4-1000en: upgrading memory on ENVY 4-1000en

    Hello

    Since I have some basic computer knowledge, but I want to be sure before you go for it, I need your advice.

    I have a HP ENVY Sleekbook 4-1000en and I have recently upgraded to HDD and the OS.

    I think the upgrade of RAM have, as far as I know that you need 2 memories of the same type, so I guess I can't buy an another 4 GB right?

    Do I need 2 x 4 GB of DDR3 memory, of the same type to make it work? For example they would work very well

    http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-8gb-high-performance-sodimm-memory-upgrade-kit-cmsx8gx3m2a1600c9 ?

    Finally the upgrade memory requires any other configuration after plugin in? Is a format for example?

    Thanks for your time.

    Hello

    The following link shows the specifications of your computer:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03362810

    It has 4 GB of RAM now. The question is 4 GB in a dwelling or in the two slots (2 + 2).

    b in the case of a home, you can just buy another 4GB with SAME part/characteristics of the EXISTING RAM and install in the second slot.

    (b) if in 2 slots (IE 2 + 2), then throw them both and buy 2 new sticks 4 GB each. Agin use even care.

    You don't need to format RAM. Moreover, we have only to format HDD/SSD but not RAM. And Yes, push in the two slots must be same same specs even marks to be able to get all the benefits.

    Kind regards.

    For your information:

    Upgrade memory today to 2 Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 (1.9 GH, 256 MB DDR - RAM initially), both up to 1 GB, all fine and no problems.
