I have a Gateway DX4380G-UW308 that came with an AMD A6-5400K APU 3.6Ghz Processor. Will this A10 work in that & do I need more than the OEM 6gb RAM?

8GB RAM is recommended for most APUs if you're planning to use the built in GPU. Make sure you have an FM2 socket motherboard with an A55, A75, A85 or A85X chipset. If your PC has those things, you should be good to go.

Yes. I installed it with a eight core AMD processor and it works great. Remember that the motherboard and memory must be compatible for type and speed.

Yes it will work with the original RAM, however your system might not recognize more than 3GB of the 4GB of memory, depends on your BIOS version.

It depends what bios comes installed with the mb. I would suggest that you identify which Bios is needed for the a10-7850 and determine whether the mb you purchase already has that bios installed. If not you will need another cpu to bring it up to date or update the bios via usb.

It will work with your APU but instead of the on chip graphics accelerator. It will most assuredly give you better performance, however make sure you have an open PCI-E slot and at least a 400Watt PSU.

As long as it's low end, you might be okay. This processor doesn't even officially support dual graphics. If I were building a system that I had any intent to game on, I would step up to at least the A6, if not the A8 or A10. I've used the A4 in three builds now and it does basic email, word processing, web browsing and such quite well. We use it to play Portal 2 Coop on occasion and it takes a really long time to load up and then the fps is only just over 30. As for thermals, I've never paid attention. AMD chips are designed to run hotter than their intel counterparts and I haven't seen anything remarkable heat wise on this one. One more thought...even if you go this route, make sure the motherboard is FM2+, not just FM2. This chip will still fit, but you will have much better upgrade options.

Short answer is yes. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/A85XMA/HelpDesk_CPU/ Longer answer

Your processor choice has no bearing on whether or not your RAM will work, because this RAM is listed as "compatible" with all AMD processors. Your RAM's compatibility is determined solely by your motherboard's hardware and software. The spec sheet at http://goo.gl/E7sN2b says that this 240-pin RAM at 1866 MHz will run perfectly with your motherboard.

It's just an Athlon processor at that point. If you aren't wanting to use the gpu I would get either an FX chip or Intel chip depending on your preferences. This should still work but it's not as good as either of those. The AMD APU's are really designed to be a cheap solution for an integrated chipset setup.

Hello Larry. If you can use it with AMD A-6 and also can with an A-4, A-6, A-8 and A-10. Motherboard I bought this in December 2013 and am using a 5600K A-8 And 8GB memory and so far is going great. I recommend it 100%. Greetings from Dominican Republic.

No. This will fit desktops. You need the DDR PC3200 (1GB) is compatible; Part #: CT611245 @ $37.99 or the DDR PC 2700. Maximum memory for the Gateway is 2GB. You will need 2 memory sticks. There are two (2) slots.

Yes.

No it is not, this is an FM1 chip. I am not aware of any AMD APU that works in AM3 or AM3+. Here is some info on this chip and socket type: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-A6-Series%20A6-3500.html http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20FM1.html

No. The new AMD A10-7xxx apu is on the new FM2+ architecture. It's incompatible with the FM2 socket.

I use this RAM on two systems - one with an FX-6350 and a Gigabyte motherboard, and another with an FX-8350 and an MSI motherboard. No problems on either one. Haven't tried with an APU, but I can't imagine why it would be a problem.

I would recommend using the scanner at http://www.crucial.com/ to determine what your motherboard on your Gateway computer supports as far as RAM goes.
