• 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

• 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?

  ~ Kort

  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.

• 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.

• XPS 8700 RAM upgrade - do not use full capacity

  I decided to get max out my RAM on my XPS 8700 to 32 GB. After booting, I am only using one half of the total. I checked the system settings to see if there is something that needs to be defined, but I don't see anything that will help.

  Is there a material DIM switch or something of RAM is correctly adjusted? I looked in the user guide but cannot see how to swap the RAM modules.

  If you have windows 7 home, your authorized max is memory 16 GB.  If you have Pro, you can go up to 192 GB.  Windows 8 and higher increased the memory limit.

  If it does not, you may have some bad RAM.

• 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. I understand from reading other threads, that I could not pass my video card, so I would at least like to increase my RAM.

  Any information would be nice.

  B

  Maximum support for the Alienware M14x R1, ram is 8GB. So you have 2 modules of 4 GB each, to make the upgrade.

  Let me know if you have any other questions.

• XPS 8500 RAM UPGRADE

  My 8500 XPS came with 4 x 2 GB of ram [total 8 gb] I wanted to update and seen many things on 2 x 8 GB modules.

  When it happens, should I remove the 4 x 2 GB and replace the 2 x 8 GB, or can I let 2 of them in place send me a 20 GB total?

  Assuming that the answer is Yes, are there any order, should I install the new ram, that is to say 1 and 2 housing, or is - this not important?  Also I am on windows 8, I tell him to use more ram?

  s thank you for any help with this.

  According to the data sheet for the XPS 8500, the configs of RAM supported are: 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 32 GB.

  Assuming that is correct, you will need to remove all four 2 GB modules and install only the two new modules 8 GB for a total of 16 GB.  2 x 8 GB modules must be installed in accommodation for motherboard 1 and 2.

  According to the owner's manual, the slot 1 is SECOND of CPU and slot 2 is FORTH of CPU and their retention fees must be the same color.

  Assuming that the BIOS recognises the new RAM, Windows should know how to use it.

• Is XPS 8900 1 TB HDD to Samsung SSD upgrade - a sound plan?

  I'll be unboxing my new XPS 8900 this weekend containing a 1 to drive HARD and Windows 10.  My ultimate plan is to add/replace this with a SSD from Samsung 850 (probably a 1 TB) and have a clean install of Windows 10.  Based on this goal and what I've gathered online, my plan would be as follows:

  1. 8900 start and activate Windows 10 (for Microsoft servers recognize this license on my PC
  2. Create a bootable media Windows 10 (probably USB) MS direct downloads
  3. Download and install different drivers from the Dell website for 8900
  4. Install the SSD
  5. Perform the clean installation of Windows 10 for SSD using bootable USB; install the necessary drivers gathered in step 3.
  6. Re-enable windows 10 license with MS according to the needs (what is automatic as recorded in step 1?)
  7. Remove the original HARD disk or reformat for use as secondary drive

  Issues related to the:

  1. The flaws with this plan?
  2. Any reason, I can't do without various applications/utilities Dell coming more in this process?
  3. Any reason why I can't get all the required drivers via a combination of Windows (automatically) and manual downloads of the Dell site?
  4. A reason to keep the recovery on the original HARD disk partition?
  5. No reason to use Alternatively Samsung cloning feature instead of taking my steps above?

  Any thoughts would be most welcomed.

  Thank you!

  Hi Ronin777,

  Your plan sounds good to me. My personal preference in this situation would be a clean install of the operating system, but you also have the option to create a set of recovery discs or a USB flash drive and restore the image of Dell for the SSD. This would be certainly faster. Then you would still have the factory image for later use.

  Have the recovery partition on the original disc, for me, is not important because you have the recovery discs or flash drive.

• 8900 of the XPS hard drive upgrade

  Hello

  I recently bought a desktop computer Dell XPS 8900 running Windows 10. I would like to replace the original 1 TB harddrive with a 6 TB drive. Both are Seagate disks.

  My plan was to copy all of the original content of drive to the new drive. This includes the Windows partition and 4 partitions hidden of Dell.

  I used Acronis True Image 2016 to make the clone and it worked except that all the partitions are exactly the same size as the original drive and I get about 561 GB of unallocated space at the end.

  Acronis software seems to include controls to change the size of the partition, but I can't expand any partition. In addition, I notice that if I do not clone one of the partitions it is always created on the other drive, but without any content. So it seems I can't change the partitions at all.

  What I wanted for the scores of Dell to stay the same size but the Windows partition would develop and use all other non allocated space. As it is now the 6 TB drive might work, but most of its space is unusable.

  I tried a partition also software with without success. So, where will I leave here to copy the hard drive without a large recovery effort?

  Thank you

  Mike

  UPDATE:

  After many hours of grief and dead ends, I found a solution to my problem.

  First of all, this link describes the Dell recovery options. (Add w for posting a link)

  ww.Dell.com/support/article/US/en/04/SLN297920?c=US&l=en&s=BSD&CS=04

  I did not like these options and didn't try. I guess they would only restore the image 1 TB. Instead, I decided to clone the drive.

  I used a free version of Macrium Reflect this. The target drive has been connected via USB. Despite their claim that I could use the software to resize partitions, I was unable to change partitions and ended up with a copy of 1 TB. In addition, they have no support for their free version. But I had a clone of work on my new 6 TB drive.

  Then, I used AOMEI Partition Wizard free Version to merge the OS partition and unallocated space. To do this open the program, do a right-click on the OS partition and choose 'Merge the Partitions' then select 2 partitions you want to merge (OS and unallocated space) and then select 'OK '.  The computer will restart several times, and when it was done my OS partition was 5,44 TB.

  Good luck if you try it yourself.

• XPS 8900 / 6th Gen Intel Skylake freezing (updated WITH a RESOLUTION... EVERYTHING IN THE BIOS)

  * RESOLUTION *.

  -Go into your BIOS (after restart or turn on/off computer keep tapping F2 when Dell logo is present)

  -Scroll to the Performance

  -DISABLE State of C

  -Apply, save, exit

  -Disable sleep in your control panel power options

  Enjoy your 8900 now functional XPS to freeze several times a day.

  ------------------------------------------------

  Here's what it was originally until I find a solution

  So I recently got xps 8900, immediately to install an SSD and upgraded the ram to 8 GB to 16 GB.

  I also used the old keyboard solar logitech and the old computer logitech wireless mouse (they use a usb receiver bit) and was only using these devices of today and it's frozen twice. Could not connect a usb mouse or keyboard and the computer is responding.

  For the first two days while doing the first ssd install and windows 10 updates this computer remained on two consecutive days, using the included wired keyboard/mouse. No problems with the computer freezing or boot the system.

  But when I gave this computer as a Christmas gift and then installed the old logitech wireless keyboard and mouse from the computer froze twice within 8 hours.

  So I don't know if it's a problem of USB or the wifi card is at the origin of the problems because I've seen a few threads mention to remove this card or disable a driver wifi like they got BSOD or other problems.

  Computer looks great and seems to work perfectly, until these last two issues freezing. I intend to buy a new mouse logitech, but that worked perfectly for 6 years on an old XPS computer so I know who did not break at all.

  Update:

  I just wanted to add that I checked a few minutes ago and it was frozen again. No control of the mouse or usb keyboard. I tried Windows key and numlock, capslock, no light on those.

  I have "sleep mode" disabled, while the monitor is disable. After this 3rd time freezing I advanced and disabled the driver wifi and am now under ethernet. At the rate it's freezing, it must be frozen again in the morning. Have a problem with that at all for two consecutive days...

  Update 2:

  -Ran Diagnostic Dell, checked everything well

  -Disabled some settings on the sleep under power options advanced settings

  Thank you

  It is easier to click on the first post and read the resolution, to read through multiple pages scattered to try to find the solution. That is why it is the first thing you read on page one, regardless of the date. All the info after are just the process leading to the conclusion.

• Split X 2 HDD and RAM upgrade

  I recently bought a HP Split X 2 of Best Buy, and I like it so far.  I read in the preliminary comments for this product that the CPU can be i3 or i5, RAM can be upgraded up to 8 GB and a hard drive can be placed in the keyboard.  I realize that it is a new product, but is anyone know yet if these upgrades can be done after purchase?  My Split X 2 is now configured with 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB memory SSD and an i3.

  Thank you for your attention.

  Hello

  It's a list of the available configurations:

• Mini 210 help with upgrade options

  I have a mini 210-1142CL

  Someone has updated the motherboard on this model and if so, is it really make a difference in performance.

  Upgrade options are also somewhat confusing.

  The mini works fine for me and before that pitch for a newer model, wanted to explore options of upgrade of it for at least a dual processor at the fastest speed it can handle.  Right now, it is running.  Have disk space enogh with 128 GB of free space, 1 GB of RAM.   Running a 1.66 GHZ N455 chip.

  Not sure if a 1.5 GHZ dual chip will really make a substantial difference, or if it's time for new technologies.

  Thank you

  Atom processors were a dead-end. However, the N550 1.5 ghz dual was one of the best. A bit like the world above 'little person' but still a honor:

  http://cpuboss.com/CPUs/Intel-Atom-N550-vs-Intel-Atom-N455

  Just to put it into perspective, here is a graph of the N550 vs some real processors.

  http://www.cpubenchmark.NET/CPU.php?CPU=Intel+Atom+N550+%40+1.50GHz

  I saw the N550 motherboards for $45 on eBay. Performance is perhaps 30% better than the single core 1.66.

  Your best upgrade is to install the 2 GB of RAM.

  If you feel compelled by the whole thing of netbook, I'd get a new laptop. The technology comes from the netbook to be a reference in the calculation of the story. Good idea at the time. A good current smart phone probably has as much computing power.

  Well, it seems that I have a problem with my ram upgrade. My system came with 2 GB of ram, and I had to upgrade (with another 2 GB), I am using programms like autoCAD, 3dsmax, photoshop, etc who have special needs on the RAM. Here's the problem; While the bios memory being recognized (4096 MB), what the task manager of the total physical memory is only 2046 MB! I also did the update to the BIOS, but it didn't work. The new memory I plugged in has the same features with one installed. The only difference is the manufacturer, the new is Kingston.

  Here are the characteristics of my system;

  Operating system installed: Windows Vista 32-bit

  Product name and number: HP Pavilion dv7 - 2030ev

  • Motherboard: Quanta 3624 intel PM45 (supports up to 8 GB of ram)
  • CPU: Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P8600 2.40 GHz (64-bit Architecture)
  • RAM: 2 GB DDR2 PC2-6400 800 MHz 6.0 CASE Samsung latency
  • BIOS: F.46

  The RAM I bought is:

  (The package information to be exactly: KVR800D2S6 / 2GB PC2 - 6400 CL6 SODIMM 200 - Pin)

  I also mention, I tried the only Kingston on a Slot and the system worked without any problems...

  I would be so grateful if you could help...

  Thank you in advance,

  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.
