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.

    Hello

    You can also buy another module of memory with the same specifications. Fact is that some modules at low cost and without name can be initially responsible for compatibility issues. It may happen starting cell phone s display will be remains black.

    Therefore I recommend you to use high quality modules and Kingston is one of the best manufacturers of memory modules.

    Hello

    Can make us this change?

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB, and obviously with 4 GB of RAM inside it is already on the maximum.

    Unfortunately on this forum we do not have much info on this new machine, but in the past we discussed on older models with 1 GB of RAM maximum but in the end, it was possible to update.

    If no one can help with this I recommend you try the upgrade with 8 GB of RAM to check how it works. Number of RAM you should test is PA5104U-1M8G.

    If possible, send feedback.

  • Upgrade memory on the Qosmio G20

    Hello
    I'm looking to upgrade my Qosmio G20 from 1 GB to 2 GB RAM

    Now I believe that this laptop comes with 2 x 512MB sticks in order to upgrade, I would need to buy 2 x 1 GB?

    I found this memory which I think would be good, but would like confirmation.

    http://www.cheapmemory.com.au/cheap-memory-Finder.php?EquipType=notebook&manuf=Toshiba&ManufS door series = Qosmio % 20Black & model = G20 - 110

    (Yes, I live in Australia)

    AFAIK the memory of 2 GB are quite new on the market and I don't believe someone can give you any information appropriate for this topic, but if these modules are memory specified for G20 I n t see no reason don't think about them.

    If there is a problem you can send them back at any time. By the way: I checked the official update from Toshiba page and it seems that, for the moment, no module 2 GB are available.

  • Question about upgrading memory on the Satellite L20-181

    Hello

    The recommended minimum is memory for Windwows XP 256 MB and I don't understand how the company could get far notebook sale with integrated graphics with 256 MB shared system memory.

    In any case, I want to improve my Toshiba and my intention is to buy 512 MB more memory, such as http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=20049&ft=m&st=3

    Will it work properly with 768 MB or I will only buy the same pair: 256 + 256, 512 + 512?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    First of all, you are not right. Windows XP also works with the low value of the memory.
    But of course it depends on memory so the OS applications will run more rapid or slower.

    However, the fact is that you can upgrade the memory on your laptop and it doesn't mater if the modules have the same value of memory or not.
    In this case, the laptop came with 256 MB and you can install detox the second module of 512 MB memory.

    PS: I recommend installing the 512 MB in the first slot and the 256 MB in the second Bank.

  • Dear gurus: help with options for upgrading memory on the DV7-1235dx

    I recently bought a used DV7-1235dx and that you want to update the 8 GB RAM, but I'm having a hard time figuring exactly what memory modules are the best for this problem (in a sense general - I don't want to say the brand, well that thoughts on that are welcome, too).

    From what I could find on my own, I think you would need to PC2-6400 for your machine, but leave the scanner tool do its thing to confirm.

    I've always bought Crucial memory, but for a 4 GB chip, it's quite expensive.

    So, I found that the Patriot memory is a lot cheaper and it works great! I put the chip 2 x 4 GB Patriot in my HP Elitebook 6930p and chips Patriot 2 x 4 GB in HP Elitebook son 6910p.

    I just bought a brand new HP Elite 8200 CMT. It came with 4 GB memory ddr3. I bought a chip of Patriot 4 GB and it works fine. Because the chip worked, I just ordered two other max out this new box.

    Here is the link to the place, I had my Patriot laptop memory if the crucial scanner confirms that this is what you need. You can also read all the comments of consumers who bought the memory.

  • Upgrading memory on the P7-1490

    What is the maximum memory for this machine on Windows 8.  In my view, there are two slots and max is 32 GB, but especially, you see 2 x 8 sold GB which I'm sure it's more than enough, I would need.  It should be 2 x 16?  The specifications below seems to be 2 x 8 GB maximum.

    I open the case and take a look before buying the memory.

    All I can tell you is what I already posted... your show plug model a picture of a motherboard with 4 memory slots. I am not your PC, so I can't guarantee you the info that HP has linked your model is 100% correct.

    HP news reports probably memory only in slots which have memory.

    If you don't want to open the case, run the tool of analysis of crucial memory on the link below and it should tell you how many memory slots there are.

    http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/

    Is there are 4 slots of memory (and I'm sure there must be), if you install 2 x 8 GB in the empty slots you will have 22 GB of memory.

    You can also buy this RAM module:
    PA2043U 32MB

  • Upgrade memory to the Qosmio F20 problem

    I just bought a Laptop Qosmio F20; It has 512 MB RAM DDR2 pc4200 533 MHz in standard. When I added an another 512 MB of ram the laptop turns on but the screen is blank, when I installed them separately, they work very well sound when I pair their place is happening, they are of the same manufacturer (Samsung) and the same type & speed.

    Please could someone help me with this, because I am intrigued. This laptop does support 1 GB memory 2 x.

    Hello

    The laptop supports without a doubt memory 2 x 512 MB sticks.
    You can upgrade the memory for max 2 GB (2 x 1024 MB)

    As far as I know Toshiba recommend using these modules:
    512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
    1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

    About you, problems with memory, it seems that both modules are not compatible I know that sounds very strange because you use the same modules (as you say).

    I recommend to replace the new module and you should check if the laptop runs correctly with other new module
