Windows 10: 32 GB Sodimms DDR3L are out , are they compatible ?

So basically it was believed up till few months ago that DDR3L laptops were bind to use 16 GBs of rams where DDR4 came to boost that to 32 GBs for those who are resource hungry for them , but then all of a sudden Crucial managed to release 32 GBs DDR3L 1600 MHz Sodimm rams to defy that myth .

Problem is all manufacturers had already stated in their specs sheets that max ram compatible with their DDR3L laptops are 16 GBs back when there weren't any 32 Gigs in circulation .

Now despite that Crucial is known to have a comprehensive compatibility checker in their site it does not recommend 32 GBs DDR3L 1600 MHz Sodimms rams to any brand / model .

So question is , are these just compatible with any DDR3L 1600 MHz Sodimms supporting chipset or are these just designed for specific chipsets and / or CPUs ?

I am asking as this is starting to remind me of back when most mobile manufacturers stated that max supported SD cards capacity for their phones were 32 GBs yet all managed to operate 64 , 128 , 256 capacities gracefully when they were out , but it just left people skeptical for a while weather these should work on their phones or not , but then when it comes to PC world it's an entirely different thing so .. any idea ?

Is there a difference between laptop memory sticks and desktop memory


As mentioned by SIW2, desktop PCs typically use full-size DIMMs (dual inline memory modules). laptops normally use SODIMMs (small outline DIMMs). They are entirely diffent physically, and not interchangeable, even though functionally they are the same. I have no idea what "Bree" was thinking.

Is your "workstation" the laptop listed in My Computer (Dell M6800)? If so, the largest SODIMMs it supports are 8GB. With 4 memory slots, the maximum RAM in the machine would be 32 GB. (That's with an I7-4940MX CPU. With a lesser CPU, only 2 of the SODIMM sockets would be usable, for a maximum of 16 GB.)

The suggestion to go to Crucial or Kingston online is good. They both guarantee that RAM they sell for a given PC will be compatible.

 

please tell me that nokia e71 supports 32 GB memory card

How to upgrade Windows10 from 32 bit to 64bit?

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.

You may also update the touchpad driver from Device Manager manually and check if this helps.

• Press (Windows key + X) and click on “Device Manager”.
• Expand “Touchpad Driver” or “Synaptic Touchpad Driver”.

• Right click on the drivers and select “Update Driver Software”. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

If issue persist, I suggest you to try installing it in compatibility mode. Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows. Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• Download the touchpad or Synaptic Touch pad drivers from the manufacturer’s website.

• Right-click on the driver setup file and click on ‘Properties’.
• Click on the ‘Compatibility’ tab and check the box
  ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 8/8.1 operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.

To migrate from 32 bit OS to 64 bit; if you have max 3 GBs of RAM, then 32 bit should be sufficient for your needs. If you happen to have 4 to 8 GBs or more RAM, then 64 bit would be suitable.
As for compatibility, you will need 64 bit device drivers for any hardware devices you might have.

For more information, I suggest you to refer to the below given Wiki article by Andre Da Costa and check if it helps:
