Are there 8 chips on the SODIMMS, or more on the backside? (I read a thread from an Inspiron 1100 user that chips &gt;32MB fail, but 32MB are okay.)

Good, the reports listed here are modules of 8 chips, 4 on each side. Each module is 64kb. I bought 4 modules of these reports, install 2 modules in a Dell Inspiron 1100, so I had to recognize 1Gb update the Bios. And Install 2 modules in a Toshiba Satellite A10-SP100. The 2 computers are operating perfectly

I upgraded to 8GB of memory (2x4G, DDR3 SO-DIMM) like this one Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3 - 12800) CL11 SODIMM Notebook Memory Modules CT2KIT51264BF160B / CT2CP51264BF160B The system feels much snapper when many pages are open at the same time.It is easy to upgrade RAM, just remove the four rubber feet and the screws underneath them. Theoretically, the CPU supports 16GB, not sure if the mother board supports that much of memory. If someone has 16GB of memory at hand, please try and report back. The recognized memory size can be found in chrome://system (type it in the url bar).

In no way do I claim to know Pavilion models inside out, but mine has a chip set that max's out at 1gb. If you can't find your manual (and who can?), Google the exact model's specs. That's how I found out my limit.

Disappointed that it has only 4gb memory capability, hope that its a miss print can anybody confirm that? Don't know what to do now, the price of ram always goes down and the need for it always seems to increase.

Uncertain as to what you ask by "full"?... as far as performance, I love this board. I'm running an AMD Quad Core A10-Series APU with Kingston ram. Windows?... not so much :P

I have this MB, and it absolutely refuses to work with all 4 slots filled. Didn't realize I had one of the "bad" ones until I tried to move to a 4x4Gb ram setup. Only the two ram slots farthest from the cpu work. But I love this board enough to be here shopping for a second one - makes a great fakeMac.

Some people have said if you call MSI and explain what you're going to do before opening it (and breaking the sticker), they will make a note that your laptop is still covered. I'm going to do that when I pick up another 8GB module for mine.

I don't know what the maximum is but there is only 1 memory slot. The computer was fine with 4 but I removed it and installed an 8 GB chip which cost $40 from Amazon. I think if you use the Crucial memory configuration tool, you will only see a 4 GB and 8 GB chip as options. You can also get the part number and look it up on Amazon.

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

The best I can tell you is it was printed wrong. The unit I have has 16 GB of memory ram. I have 2 one black and one yellow and both do. It holds a lot of games and other things with no problems.I hope I answered your question. Lloyd Walling

I put the chip information in a review I wrote on the version of this product that I received on September 27, 2013 (ordered from the page http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008I679QG) :http://www.amazon.com/review/R1QV076S18G9RK/ref=cm_srch_res_rtr_alt_1That seems to have the same amazon ASIN: B008I679QG as the one you are asking about.There is an information page about Linux and that chip that was last updated in March 2014 at http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Somagic

Go to Crucial Web site and see what they recommend. I found that they recommend PC4200 DDR2 553 SDram. I am surprised because I assumed they would recommend SODIMM. I have used 667MHz PC2-5300 in place of PC2-4200 - but that was me. I knew I was taking a chance that it wouldn't work - it did work - I was lucky. Why not safe side it and use what Crucial recommends.

I don't have the answer. I spent over an hour between Toshiba and the chip people, went through all their charts, etc., and could not get an answer. Finally I looked at the chips closely and determined that it would fit in the slot (:)) which was progress and bought it. I put it in and the difference in performance was ASTOUNDING! Really, I don't know why computer mfg's don't put max memory in their machines. Making you sweat over upgrades.....well. Anyway.

The machine uses standard DDR3-1600 SODIMMs. FWIW, this is an excellent laptop, especially with 6 or 8GB of RAM.

I added RAM on mine - 2 gig because it only had two slots. Not sure when it maxes out, but that probably would be determined by what sort of chip it is. I'm sure you can research that online.

Hi I use Kingston Technology 8GB Kit (2x4 GB Modules) 1333MHz DDR3 SODIMM Notebook Memory for Select Apple iMac's and Macbook Pro's KTA-MB1333K2/8G not PC3-10600 about it says SODIMM doesn't matter. Thank you

No, it's (2) 1gb chips. which is one on the front of the keyboard and on the back.
