  Hey Jake,

  I can't comment on Crucial given that I have no first hand experience of their products or services, but I used upgrades RAM of Orca logic in the past with no problems at all (I currently have two of their RAM modules in my SA30).

  Their web site has a Finder memory, then I'd say comparing your RAM specifications with Orca. The URL is: -.

• Upgrading RAM on Satellite L555-10R

  Hello

  I have a satellite L555-10R, Win 7 64 bit, main Board TOSHIBA KTWAA Intel GM45/GM47 chipset, 1.9 BIOS, CPU Intel COre 2 duo P7450;

  I want to upgrade ram 2x2gb (SAMSUNG) to 2 x 4 GB (CORSAIR). Only the ram that I put in the location #1 is recognized as a result system starts and detects 6 GB of RAM. When I put the RAM 2nd Slot #2, the PC does not start. It seems that it does not detects hard (the LED on the front of the PC don't not ligth during startup). I can't go into the BIOS (even if I press the F2 key), black screen, all I can do is power off.

  I'd appreciate your help, if you have an idea.
  Thank you

  Hello

  First some general information on your machine:
  Your laptop can be upgraded to the top 8 GB and max upgrade, you can use both modules of memory of 4 GB.
  Compatible 4 for GB DDR3 - 1066 MHz apart number PA3677U-1M4G. Module of memory with this part number is tested and 100% compatible with your device.

  If you check this forum you will find number of threads as your one, where people try to level of RAM using Rams Corsair and spoke of the same problems. Obviously the reason for non-working machine is compatibility issue with these RAM modules.

  The 'value' Modules of RAM use many markets good chips using several banks/channels, which can cause problems of compatibility with some chipsets/CPUS.

  I highly recommend to use high quality and 100% compatible modules of RAM from Toshiba or Kingston.

• CC 7100 cmt: questions upgrade ram cmt dc 7100 (please help)

  Hey all,.
  There is history... or you can just go to the section "cut to the Chase" to the bottom of the post

  The long story...
  my name is chris, and I'm trying to help a 14-year-old son, friends learn a lil more on his old pc.

  his pc has a hand and is obviously outdated, I got a bunch of old carcasses of office and let him rumage anything that would contribute to his pc. We found a total of 3 GB of ram ddr400mhz which is just below its limit of 4 GB machines.

  so I thought everything would go smoothly, it is certainly not my first ram upgrade, having built many of the old desktop computers it was inflict through, I consider myself pretty well informed on the pc and have renovated a lot of pc, same Freelancer my skills of mechanics and tokens for a lil extra cash on the side I have dealt with many a problem, repair and upgrade, since I took my first windows machine in 2000, before that I started with a commodore 64 and eventually got an apple iic when I was about 10 years old... anyway, what im getting here, is I USED to know my s#@t, but for some reason any It's evading me and google isn't offering anything on the subject.

  We planned on him to update to sp3 after have modernized their equipment as much as we can, while at the same time educate him as much as I could about how the computer worked, how to open and how to treat the components inside, it was the first time, he had never looked inside his machine or any machine besides...

  However, because of delays and the issue with the ram does not, I eventually send him home with the same stock set up, he brought to me.

  Cut to the Chase

  The problem here is that for some reason when I install 1, 2 or 3 the cards of ram 1 GB the machine do not post and triggers a series of beeps system, so obviously something isn't jiving, and I can't put my finger on it.
  I can use 1,2,3 or all 4 of his stock [256 MB ddr 400 mhz] ram cards and it will display and start with change messages memory clear system, however, when you use less than four of its ram slots, a message is launched upward during post, stating something to the effect of all the slots must contain the same amount of ram

  We are working on PC is a:
  HP DC 7100 CMT
  Windows XP SP2

  current installed RAM is [256 MB ddr 400 mhz] x 4 = a total of 1 GB

  tried to upgrade RAM parts:
  Ballistix [1 GB ddr 400 mhz] x 2 = a 2 GB total

  more

  Memory Dell [1 gb ddr] (mhz are not)

  I thought it was probably a bios thing and was about to investigate, but we ran out of time, now I'm tender hand to this community in the hope that someone here can indicate what it is I'm obviosly dominant, I really want to get his machine is upgraded because it is expessing a lot of interest in Unity3D , and scripts, ANDS I'd like see hiw cultivate these skills and I can't buy a machine, and he cannot afford a new machine, so the upgrade of its rigging with these old quarters would be the most ideal situations for him, if we cannot find out we will simply create a new rig out of my 'old' , but the 3.0 ghz core dou in his dc 7100 cmt processor is probably better than any of the alternatives in my attic... so yes this is my dilemma and I hope that some here is kind enough to point me in the right direction

  Thank you and best regards,
  Chris

  Hello:

  You must have the total amount of memory in slots 1 and 3 are the same, and the same quantity in slots 2 and 4.

  The PC will not work if you put 1 GB in slot 1, 1 GB in slot 2 and 1 GB in the Groove 3 because you're short 1 GB in the empty slot 4 and just short of 1 GB in slot 4 = 5 beeps.

  Then... If you do not have 4 x 1 GB then use 1 GB in slots 1 and 3 and 256 MB in slots 2 and 4.

  See the table below on page 16 memory configuration.

• Tecra Z40 - A - the upgrade (RAM RAM)

  Hi all

  Ordered little RAM to upgrade my Toshiba Tecra Z40 - A, but can not find, for the life of me, anything where you want to insert online.

  I previously installed RAM under the keyboard (couple of clips holding it) and on the other, a small cover on the bottom, but the Z40 does not appear to be anywhere easily accessible.

  Has anyone upgraded RAM on the Z40? Or is it a big no, no, because of the guarantee?

  Thank you
  Lance

  Memory upgrade on this model Tecra is a bit complicated and, in my view, should not be done by the owner of the laptop. For some models of Ram upgrade can be done by the owner of the laptop and exact instructions how do proposed in document s user manuals, but not for your Tecra.

  For full access to the RAM modules lower lid should be removed and it can be done by people of service only. If you do this alone you can void the warranty valid.
  I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help or advice.

• Portege 4000 - upgrade RAM & graphic card driver installation

  I'm having some trouble with my Portege 4000 for the moment. I installed XP on a disk, but will no longer have that I have 256 MB of RAM...

  -Have you tried 2 manufacturers but the PC133 512 is not compatible. However, my system has an IBM of PC100 256 chip, which was bought early last year, after much trial and error, and I wonder now if the motherboard will be more suited to the PC100 and PC133 non?

  -Consider the options alternative to XP, 98SE or 2000 because they are lighter operating systems. I can put it on a spare drive (test). Is it possible to set up a partition for recovery CD Rom (which has 98SE) on this subject and have little space left over to install another Linux operating system or its Manager partition crushes everything?

  -J' put another post for .exe drivers related to the display/vga for 98SE and 2000.

  -Just for the record, not all Linux distributions seem to go back on the size of the screen, so it takes some work...

  Thanks much for any help.

  The protégé 4000 is compatible with the PC133 modules! AFAIK, you can upgrade RAM of this notebook 1 GB (1024 MB) and you can use these modules;
  PC133 512 MB (PA3108U - 1 M 51)
  PC133 256 MB (PA3086U - 1 M 25)
  PC133 128 MB (PA3085U - 1 M 12)

  You can create partitions on the HARD drive using a 3rd party like Partition Magic 8 tool. I use this tool and it's really nice.
  After you create 2 or three partitions on the HARD disk, you could install different OS (operating systems).

• Upgrade Ram on a Netbook NB200 - 00L

  I gave to my two daughters a Netbook Toshiba NB200 - 00L. Both came loaded with Windows 7 Starter. If I just upgrade to Windows Home Premium, it will slow down computers. I was told that the maximum ram that can take netbooks is 1gig. However, I keep seeing that people are upgraded to 2gigs. I want to upgrade the ram so that Windows Home Premium will work better. Can someone enlighten me on this subject. Upgrading ram Home Premium support will be more effective? Also, is anyone Home Premium running on their netbooks without upgrading, and it is really slow? Thank you

  Hello

  AFAIK NB200 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can check the specs on the Toshiba site!

  I m not NB200 owner but I improved my other laptops equipped with modules from Kingston. I've never had a problem with these modules. They always run stable and don t make problems.

• Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM

  There was a discussion here ("Tecra 8100 - upgrade RAM") on the upgrade memory.
  He said that for TECRA 8000 - capacity maximum 256 MB memory (2 x 128). (unlike TECRA 8100 - which can be upgraded to 512)

  Does anyone know if the BIOS change may allow 512 MB with TECRA 8000?

  Thanks in advance,
  Piotr

  Hello

  I don t think that after updating the BIOS on the Tecra 8000, you will be able to use the 512 MB of memory.
  Like you said you can use max 256 MB (2 x 128 MB SDRAM)

• Is it safe to upgrade RAM from 4 GB to 16 GB on mid2012 13 "MBP?

  It's time to upgrade RAM and OWC claims it is safe to upgrade to 16 GB on my mid-2012 13 "MBP with 2.5 GHz processor Intel Core i5 and 500 GB hard drive, but everything on the Apple site indicates upgrade max is 8 GB. I want speed, but worry, it could be too much for the material.

  Anyone else tried the more memory RAM successfully?

  In theory this is your memory needs:

  Maximum memory	(Real) 16 GB 8 GB (Apple)
  Memory locations	2-204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

  The answer to your question is that you can upgrade to 16 GB. Because it depends on the machine itself, we cannot assure you that it is "safe". It may work or it may not work. This isn't a certified Apple upgrade. It is rather an upgrade coming OWC. They sell RAM for this upgrade. Other vendors such as DataMem and Crucial RAM probably do not sell 16 GB upgrade kits.
