Windows 10: RAM Upgrade

Hi,

I`m planning to upgrade my Inspiron 1545 RAM from 2GB to 3GB DDR2 - the 2GB DDR2 ram is more expensive than the DDR4 *Sad. I was going to buy 2x2GB DDR3 because my chipset supports it but then found out that my installed memory was DDR2 - so no joy. My question is will the RAM - 2+1 work in Dual channel?

Thanks,

:)

 

Ram upgrade

Hi John

I will try the new and old ram together tonight to see if that works.

The main reason to go for 64bit was for a particular game. Hopefully i can get the ram working.

Ram is new samsung branded ram.

Ill let yolu know how get on with your idea

 

Upgrading RAM

No, that is not possible. If you want to use the more advanced games you need to sell the 610 and buy a higher spec model like the 710, 800, 900, 820 or 920.

 

No, they will not. For DUAL channel to work ,both modules need to be the same in size and latency...

What you can do is put another 2GB module in it. Your chipset may support DDR3 but are the slots built for that as well (they have different pins)??
IMHO you are bound to have DDR2 in it. Since this is an older Laptop (came with Vista) you might not even be able to use all 4GB but less than 3.5GB instead. Can you go to a shop and try it??

 

I undertstand. The laptop support up to 8GB RAM and I`m running Windows 10 64-bit so I will be able to use all 4GB. Right now I can`t go to shop. Thanks for your help *Wink
