Dell :: Memory Speed Affecting Windows Experience (memory Operations)
Oct 13, 2008A 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?
HP EliteBook 8540w :: Identifying Correct Memory Slot For RAM Upgrade To Enable Dual Channel Memory
Jan 12, 2015I 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. Â
Â
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. Â All set right?
Â
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?

Dell :: XPS 16 (Bluray And Memory)...
Apr 10, 2010I 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?

Dell :: Memory Upgrade
Nov 6, 2009I 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.
Dell :: What Mark Is Your Ram/memory
Mar 21, 2009I'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...)
Dell :: 8 GB Memory On M1730
Nov 27, 2008I 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.

Feb 21, 2013I'm planing to upgrade Ram Memory of my DELL XPS 15z for running some virtual environments.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDell :: Clarification On Physical Memory
Jun 13, 2009I'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.

Dell :: Adding Memory To A D620
Apr 18, 2010I 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.

Dell :: Nvsvc32.exe 400MB Memory
Mar 8, 2008I am thinking this is something related to the drivers for my video card, nvsvc32.exe seems to be part of the Nvidia drivers.
What I do not understand is why it's currently using up ~40 - 50% continuous CPU and 402,456K of memory.
While svchost.exe is using up the rest of the CPU %.
I used task manager to just kill them both, nothing has seemed to change "stability wise" and they are no long using up that much CPU/Memory.
Dell :: Swissbit/Micron Memory
Oct 18, 2007I'm looking to upgrade my M90 to 4GB. Normally I use crucial, but they are charging £190 for 2 x 2GB DDR2 5300 chips.
I've had a look on Ebay and I can get the same for £110. When I asked who made the chips he said "Micron/Crucial chips from Swissbit." To be honest I'm not sure if that means they are made by Crucial or by Swissbit. Anyone know about these?
There was another EBayer who was selling Buffallo chips for £120. If these are well known I may go for these. I'm just a bit wary of buying brands I haven't heard of.
Incidentally, I presume that 1x1GB + 1X2GB will be slower than matching chips (I considered only buying one 2GB stick as I already have 2x1GB, but I seem to recall that the chips need to mirror one another for optimum speed)
I've just noticed the 3.25gb thread which suggests dual channel mode is normally only slightly faster.

Dell :: Memory For My Inspiron E1505
Sep 25, 2009I have a Dell Inspiron e1505 that is a couple of years old. I just bought it from a guy at work and it seems to be working pretty good.
I do a lot of photo editing and while I realize this is not a top machine for this, it works better than what I had. It now has 1G of memory in it and I think that I can up that to 2G max.
What should I be looking for and where is the best place to get it? I would like to buy local, but that may not be the best option as far as price goes.
Dell :: M1330 Memory Problem?
May 12, 2009I hav a problem with my laptop in another thread but I though it was fixed. So, the problem is that my laptop doesnt recognize one of the ram card.
When I start the computer some of this cases can happen:
1. Start normally
2.Doesnt start and light the numlock steady and the capslock and arrow is flashing. I need to make a procediment that give me a technician of dell, that is (briefly) removing the ram and put it again,so the computer can start normally. I made it 3-4 times
3. Start but says that memory has changed and now is 2GB instead of 3GB
