The Macbook pro topped our buy list because Dell didn't include 2 slots for user added memory. What's worse is only a measly 1GB is soldered permanently, making dual channel memory only available up to 1GB. How could this happen??

This worked fine a few days ago. I doubt its interference because I have a PS3, Wii and a Macbook all connecting fine from the same room.
I have the Dell controlpoint on here to use my ATT card... but otherwise it doesnt control wifi. I reinstalled windows from the CD and used the latest drivers from dell
I had a MacBook unibody for about a week while I installed Bootcamp XP/etc on it for my daughter - then I shipped it to her. I would like to get one for myself later this year, funds permitting. However, I have seen comments in several posts about potential problems with the battery cover. Does the battery cover have a design weakness or is it just really tricky to re-attach to the system?

Whats the best way to check how much memory the GPU has, i checked with windows and its reporting the card has 1031mb, which cannot be correct, GPUZ does not seem to report anything.
I booted from a Ubuntu live cd and its reporting that the card is 256mb
could anyone with a 256mb or a 512mb card test for me the following
boot from a linux live cd
from terminal type the following
lspci | grep VGa .....
does anyone know how to disable the ati hypermemory? i recently got the 1640 with the 1gb radeon hd 4670 video card.
i noticed i have 2813mb of video memory. with that in mind, i know it's being shared with the system memory.
since i have 1gb of dedicated video memory, i'd rather not share with my system memory.
What is the maximum amount of system memory I can throw into my XPS16? I have 4 GB in there now, however I thought when I built mine I could go up to 8. The reason I ask is because the system manual that came with my machine states that it can max out only at 4 (2x 2GB).
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have a Dell Studio 1440. It has only one user replaceable memory slot. 1 GB is on board. After upgrading the RAM to 4 GB my computer had 5 GB and worked well for almost a year. Then there seemed to be a memory failure. I put the old 2 GB DIMM that came with the laptop and the laptop worked for a while. However, one day it just started beeping (4 beeps) at startup. Now, no matter what memory I put in, it just beeps. It works perfectly well with no memory in the slot i.e. with 1 GB on board. All diagnostics pass.

If not even Vista 64Bit won't be able to use the full 4GB of RAM..
As my Studio 1557 kept giving blue screen, I decided to run diagnostics. When both rams were installed I got 2000.0123 Memory integrity test failed. Then I uninstalled one, i got same error.I tried the one i just uninstalled on same slot, i got same error.And then i tried them both on the other slot, i didn't have any errors.
The thing is, fan has been changed 2 times, and mainboard has been changed before. I've been using this notebook with an acceptable Thermaltake cooler from the day I have bought it. What makes this notebook like that? 7200rpm HDD? i7 processor?
I have a Dell Studio 1535 Laptop from 2008. I got an error message telling me to reseat the memory modules. I looked up how to do that and did it. I tried to boot it back up and still have the same error. I did try to reseat again and I am still getting the error. What should I do next?
View 2 Replies View RelatedA friend just showed me his new Dell Vostro lappy. He has 4 GB of DDR2 800mhz memory on it when compared to my 4 GB of DDR2 667mhz memory on my XPS 1530
However, under his windows experience score - he gets 5.9 score for memory operations while I just get a 5.1. I can't believe that a couple of hundred mhz can result in such a drastic difference.
Is there something optimized for his system but not for mine?
I just purchased a used Elitebook 8540w with i7 quad core and four memory slots (I love it!). It is running 64 bit Windows 7 Professional It came with one 4gb memory module and I purchased an additional 4gb module to bring total RAM to 8gb.
I have the HP document that shows for two 4gb memory modules, one should be in memory slot 1 and the other in memory slot 3 for correct functioning of dual channel memory. All set right?
Not quite. In the Elitebook 8540w, the primary memory slots under the keyboard are clearly labeled "1" and "2" However, the expansion memory slots on the underside of the chassis are also clearly labeled "1" and "2" Opps! There is no "3" and there is no "4" In which of the unfilled three slots do I install the second 4gb module for correct functioning of dual channel memory?
i having the Acer TravelMate 6493, originally it have 2GB of Memory. Recently, i have addin additional 2GB, mean that currently the system is having 4GB of Memory.

I have been hearing that the read/playback performance of the bluray drive on this laptop is terrible. Some say that it stutters all the way through an entire movie and it is very loud. Is this true? My second question is about the $375 charge for upgrading from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM. Is it overpriced? Also, how easy is it to upgrade the RAM on the XPS 16?

I have a 2.5 year old E1705 notebook. I'm going to upgrade to W7 soon and in the process I thought I'd upgrade my memory from 2GB to 4GB.
I ran Dell's utility from their tech support page and it seems to be the case that the maximum my computer will support is 2GB! Is that possible?
In any case, I ran a diagnostic program (from Dell's utility) and it says my computer has two memory slots, and currently each slot on my computer has "Dual In-line Memory Module 1GB, 533, 128X64, 8K, 200", whatever that means.
I assume the 533 is memory speed (Hz) value. So according to Dell's utility, I am unable to increase the amount of RAM, but I could, for instance, "upgrade" to better chips (i.e., Dell sells DDR2 SDRAM Memory Speed: 800 MHz). Price would be $56.
I'm with Studio 1535 and strangely for me with:
2 GB Kingston
1 GB Sam sung
on Dell Web my notebook appears as only 2 GB Kingston.
But Kingston is very good ram mark.
Samsung is wide used by HP.
So I guess they both are very good!In my eyes Kingston is better but Sam sung is not bad too. (I doubt my samsung blank little overheat but I don't have issues with my ram till now, so...)
I was wondering if anyone had tried putting those G-Skill 4GB memory chips onto a Dell m1730 laptop, and if so, did they notice any major performance gains in doing so.
I use a few simulators at home, especially a Cisco sim called Dynamips which is both a CPU and memory hog, and I also use VMWARE a bit, so I thought I'd see if it's worth the upgrade to 8 GBs of RAM.
Any comments on stability, usefulness, experiences in Vista, etc. getting the system to recognize the full 8 GBs of RAM, etc.
I was wondering if anyone else here could help me out...I'm needing to buy some more memory for my xps m1210 that's a couple of years old...
what's the best way to go about doing this? should i buy it from Dell or Best Buy or new egg?
also, if anyone knows, is it worth my time to try and install it myself or should i just pay the 40 or whatever to geek squad?
If I get an m1730 with 2GB 667MHz ram memory and I want to upgrade to another 2GB of memory to make it 4GB, do I have to get 667MHz or I can get 800MHz?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm an owner of a sxps 1340 and have the following problem. My system freezes after 5 minutes of operating. It does that 3 out of the 4 times if I reboot. I think this appeared after I installed the videocard update when I received the Dell "Alert".
After corresponding with Dell they advised me to do a system restore, which didn't help. So now I did a factory image restore to bring everything back as initially.
My system has 4GB of internal memory, but if I start task manager I only see 2301MB of physical memory. And my system is using 51% of the total physical memory. This without having installed any programs except the one that came with the factory image.
My question is: Could this be a memory hardware failure?
I've attached a printscreen of my task manager.
As far as i know, m1330 support intel turbo memory... but where is the slot to insert the memory?
which improve more, from 2gb to 4gb ram or put a 4 gb turbo memory
I like my Dell D620 so much that I just got another one. I've heard that I should not add an additional 1G module to the existing 1G in this laptop, but rather that it is best to replace the existing 1G with either two matched 1G modules or one 2G module. Is that correct? Seems a shame to toss the 1G that's already in there . . .
Could I add a 2G module to the 1G that's already in there? I'm assuming that the bay will accept two RAM modules.
The OS is XP-Pro, SP3, if that matters.
can i upgrade from 2GB to 3GB or necessarily i have to go to 4G?
tks, Douglas
I have a Dell Inspiron 9300, about 4 years old. I bought it with 1 gb RAM, and I'd like to extend the life of it by a few months, and make it a little faster.
