Upgrading RAM for the ancient system XPS R450
This has probably been asked and answered before, but I'm having a hard time finding all the information I need in one place.
Through my church, I volunteer teach computer skills and doing my best to upgrade the equipment for people who cannot afford a new system.
Here's what I'm faced with:
Dell Dimension XPS R450
WIN XP Pro version 2002
IIP/448 MHz
384 MB OF RAM
15.7 hard drive NTFS of G
I want to update their RAM wherever possible, but continue to see conflicting views on how high I can go.
In addition, according to my research, I conclude this must SDRAM - i.e. cannot use the DDR I have sitting around - and correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the DIMM form factor required match sticks? Don't have not cracked the box still - does anyone know how many slots I could watch?
Bottom line - what is the absolute MAX RAM?
I know than most - including me - would say trash box and buy something of the modern era. But they are very poor people who are lucky to have a PC at all, and that's what I have to work with.
All the tips are greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Upgrading RAM for the installation of 64-bit guest OS on 32-bit host OS
Hi all
I am a total newbie to VMWare and I have a curious question. Currently, I have an Intel Core i7 920 PC running on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 - bit with 3 GB of RAM DDR3 triple channel. I just installed VMWare Workstation version 7 on this PC.
Now, I understand that Win7 32-bit build does a maximum of 3.4 GB RAM logically and not beyond. My intention here is to move the RAM to 9 GB, and then install the version 9.04 of Ubuntu 64-bit on VMWare with 6 GB of RAM reserved for the Ubuntu. My question then became: the guest OS (Ubuntu) would be able to use the 6 GB of RAM that I intend to allocate to it from the host OS (Win7), does that up to 3.4 G memory?
I want to thank everyone in advance for your help.
Best regards
Peter Lee
Hello Peter,.
Unfortunately, you will need to have a 64-bit OS host to do what you want. The guest operating system will not be able to use memory that is presented to it through the host. Is there a particular reason that you have installed Windows 7 32 bit instead of 64-bit?
See you soon

Upgrading RAM for the name of the model: SVF15212, model number: SVF152C1WW
Hello
Recently, I bought a Sony Vaio SVF15212 (SVF152C1WW model number) in India.
It came with 2 GB of RAM preinstalled DDR3 (DDR3 PC3-12800(800MHz) 1x2Go).
It has 2 memory slots, you are free to upgrade.
I was told from Sony's Web site, we can improve up to 8GB RAM.
I bought the Rams of Strontium and Simmtronics 4 GB DDR3 RAM PC3-12800 but when I installed these Rams in second slot RAM (1x2Go and 1x4Go) the laptop won't turn on. But if the Rams individually 4 GB then the laptop starts normally. So I returned these Rams.
So what is the best idea that you can give me... I need to remove 2GB DDR3 RAM preinstalled and use one of the other Rams of 4 GB or 8 GB? (i.e. only a bar than a single stick of 8 GB or 4 GB).
I need more memory RAM that I use many virtual machines. I read somewhere that they installed 8 GB of RAM in the computer laptop sony vaio (not sure of exact model) with 2 GB pre-installed so that they use 10GB of RAM...
Is this possible? If so I'm happy that I can keep original key of 2 GB and you can buy 8GB new stick so that my RAM memory would be 10 GB. WOW!... even thought is amazing...
If someone help me (guide me) which is better than I do...?
Thank you and best regards,
SRI.
Thanks... will check and update.

Upgrading RAM for the Pavilion P6650z
I had an analysis of the system of crucial.com who said that I have 4 slots for RAM. 2 are empty; 2 have sticks of 2 concerts each - so I currently have 4 gigs. The results of the analyses say that my max is 8 GB. FWIW, there is a Pavilion P6650z, under Windows 7 Home Premium.
I wonder - then - I buy a single 4 GB stick and insert it into one of these 2 empty slots? Or is there a maximum of 2 GB per slot (in which case, I have to buy 2 sticks of 2 GB each, to the max of 8 GB RAM)?
I tried to call customer support HP (sic), but I was bounced from one Department to another because this computer is no longer under warranty, and finally when to transfer me to a person as well, I just got cut. So hopefully someone here can help me out.

Max supports 16 GB on 64 bit OS, 4 x 4 GB

Upgrading RAM for the Pavilion N011AX
I want to improve my 8 GB RAM. With the one that came with the laptop, the total should be 12 GB. (I checked, there are 2 slots for RAM in this laptop)
My question is, this laptop will accept 4 GB + 8 GB of RAM? Adding RAM is
Samsung 8 GB DDR3L 1600 PC3L - 12800S 1.35v
This laptop motherboard is HP 216 (with chipset A55/A60M FCH).
Thanks in advance.
You don't mention the name of the full model (Pavilion 15 / Pavilion 14).
Anyway, the two would support up to 12 GB (8 GB + 4 GB) with the configuration that you mentioned.You can go ahead with the purchase.
I have to mention that adding another 4 GB with the same config would give you the advantage of boost dual-channel.

Upgrading RAM for the Qosmio F60-111
Hello
This is my first thread here
I intend to improve my ram 6 GB to 8 GB of DDR3 memory
intalled ram are currently 2 sticks of DDR3 1066 Mhz 4 GB and 2 GB
I couldn't find a key 4 GB 1066 Mhz on the local market; available only 1333 mhz.If I have installed DDR3 1333 mhz 4GB stick with the original 4 GB of DDR3 1066 mhz, my laptop works perfectly?
Another issue is my laptop motherboard can support frequency 1333 mhz ram?
my laptop is Qosmio F60-111
Hello
The FSB seems to be limited to 1066 Mhz.
So even if you want to use the faster memory modules (i.e. 1333 Mhz), the speed could be clocked up to 1066 Mhz.So, of course, you can use the 1333 Mhz modules.
It would be also possible to mix modules: 1066 Mhz and 1333 Mhz

I plan to upgrade my OS to El Capitan. What are the processor speed and memory required for the operating system works well?
I use a processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 with DDR3 4 GB 1333 MHz memory.
My last similar attempt on another machine resulted in a very slow computer.
Thanks, Ron
Apple says the following:
General requirements
- OS X 10.6.8 or later version
- 2 GB memory
- 8.8 GB of available storage
For best performance, I would say not less 4 GB and preferably 8 GB or more.
Your i5 is well able to support properly.

Upgrading RAM on the Qosmio X 505
I don't know what's going on but I have a Toshiba Qosmio x 505 I'm a little confused on the amount of RAM my PC and it's his lwo I would buy more, I bought mine from Newegg almost a year with the backlit keyboard, to my knowledge, I thought that my computer has 6 GB of ram and it runs games big but the other day while running dxdiag I was shocked to see that I have 4 GB of ram... (4096MB to be exact, it is more than 4 GB, but if it's 6GB so where is the other 1.9 GB of RAM at?)
Recently, I did a reinstall of windows and wipe the entire computer, it would affect my bios for ram at all? I swear I had 6 GB of ram, but maybe I was wrong, in any case if it is after that that someone provide me a link to buy the 8 GB of ram for the qosmio? Thank you! I'd love to update the full agreement.
Hi mate
The value of the RAM can be checked in the BIOS!
Please check in the BIOS what RAM is recognized.In addition, the graphics card shares a part of main RAM in order to get better performance all in game.
The main value of RAM is the part that would be shared by the graphics chip is high.So if the laptop was equipped with 6 GB of RAM (hmm, in that case it should be a 4GB and 2 GB RAM module installed) then some of this RAM could be used by GPU.
By the way; 4 GB of RAM or 6 GB of RAM are more than enough to get good performance... so in my opinion RAM upgrade is not necessary

Can someone confirm if these would work? Issue in this page , I found the following information:

Looking at the specs you should be good to go, but have not personally tested, I can't be 100% sure.
What really works, as I installed it in my T61p is Corsair VS4GSDS800D2 G.

CHKDSK runs 5 steps for the system, 3 for the non-system partition partition
Would be - to schedule chkdsk for the partition system using GUI by selecting two options available here
It executes all 5 steps of verification of system files and disk.
Would be - to plan an analysis of the non-system partition disk by setting the dirty bit (fsutil dirty) put...
It runs only 3 floors of disk scan.Whence this difference?
Fsutil allows you to set the 'dirty' bit for a NTFS disk, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume. When the F switch is set, the activity of chkdsk is divided into three major passes: checking files, checking the index and security descriptors.
If you use the R (chkdsk/r) switch, chkdsk performs twice more to look for bad sectors. During step 4, chkdsk checks all clusters in use; during step 5, chkdsk checks the unused beams.
Given that you used the GUI instead of enter the chkdsk command in a command prompt window or in the run box, you must have checked the two boxes that appear under "to check disk options'-' automatically fix file system errors" and "will search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.»
Most of the time, one is not using the R switch or check the box to recover data from bad sectors because it can take a lot of time and (b) "recovered data" are usually not easily usable.

T610 with Windows Embedded 7 - the system does not license for the operating system image
Hello community,
I bought a refurbished computer ThinClient T610 that is running a Windows 7 Embedded English. The label on the package says, that the computer ThinClient is allowed with W7E. When I now run Easy Tools installed on the computer ThinClient hp to create a USB Image with the German language, everything works fine: the image is downloaded from the web and put on the stick.
But after you start the stick, the installation program tells me: "the system does not license for the operating system image. What I am doing wrong? The BIOS is already the latest.
Or y at - it another way to transform the operating system in German? There should be an option to download additional languages, but this particual window has no other options. And I have not found any manual way to download other languages.
Concerning
Michael
Sometimes it can be so easy... ;-)
So here's my solution:
1. go on the Web for hp Support site
2. go in the software and driver download
3. set the language of driver on the language of your choice (in fact: it was the main problem)
4. download an operating system image
5. run the configuration tool and copy the image of an operating system on a flash drive
6. restart the workstation and install the os
7. take advantage of your computer ThinClient in the language of your choice
I don't know, why the hp Easy Tools downloaded the image of evil, but with this solution, that I find myself at the same point, as if they did.
