How to upgrade memory RAM for WIN7?

[Digitals]

Hi mates,

I have windows 7 and came with 8 GB Ram and would like to increase the RAM to 16GB since I run a lot of applications at the time.

I know so far the following about my Desktop:

Type: DDR3
Size: 8 GBytes
Manufacture: Samsung
my Desktop model: FMVF56EDWZ
Max Ram: 16GBytes
Brand: Fujitsu

I got some information through running CPU-Z software, but not sure now how many pieces of RAMs in my computer... I mean I still don't know if the installed RAM is one piece og 8GB or 4GBx2....etc

Any idea how to figure this out and what I need to do the right thing to install the new RAM...

Do I need to open my desktop to know how many pieces of RAM installed?

P.S: I still didn't buy the new RAM because I need to know how many pieces I can install??

Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks

Yeah just take the side off the PC and look at how many sticks of RAM are installed. You'll need to order an exact duplicate of what you already have (same manufacturer, same MHz) and you'll be good to go.

Are you sure that you are using all of the RAM that you have now?

If you are dead set on installing more RAM, run this scanner from Crucial. It should be able to tell you want you have now and what you can buy.

Well I tried looking up your model laptop but all the pages are Chinese or Klingon. I suspect you can put two RAM modules in it. I would strongly recommend just ordering a 16 GB, 2X8GB and install it and don't use what you now have. Even if it's the "same" it won't be matched to what you have.

there should be a panel on the bottom with one ro two screws to access the ram.

I thought the OP had a desktop, man I confuse easily.

Thanks @UsernameIssues for the comments.

well, what I understand is that whenever I run multiple programs at the time, the CPU goes high and consumption rate for memory ram reaches 61% or sometimes 72%. I'm wondering why that much anyways. When I purchased it at first it was fine to run multiple programs and barely reaches 40%, but not easily 60% and above...

I run the crucial scanner and got the attached image,

Do I really need more RAM to my 8GB?? I believe so, but not sure till now whether it is 4GBx2 or 8GBx1. The crucial scanner result shows that I need 4GBx2...

what do you think??

Maybe it's me. I've never heard of a Fujitsu desktop. I commented on what I found in Google previously but OP has declined to enlighten us. :huh:

The RAM shown is laptop RAM, maybe small from factor desktop, who knows?

The OP's system spec shows a Fujitsu FMVF56EDW desk top but he also shows a Mobile Intel ® HM65 Express Chipset. I'm too confused to continue.

Adding another 8gb of ram well have a minimal effect on system performance IMHO. I would think about a SSD drive to replace the spinner before a ram upgrade.

ok, great to know. Thanks @madcratebuilder. I guess I will check the SSD first and then see how things go.

BTW, I just found out that I can't upgrade my RAM to 16GB because I reached the limit already, which is 8GB

I found this info here in the JP site:

The CRUCIAL scanner should have also shown that 8GB limit.

You will notice a big improvement using an SSD.

To help solve the confusion as to what type of computer Digitals has, it is one of those all-in-one desktops,



that is nothing more than a laptop motherboard built into a monitor. Despite being labeled as a desktop, it is still nothing more than a laptop (without the portability).

I am glad you cleared that up Stormy, I was going to ask the OP after many others were confused and he still didn't say "is your desktop a desktop or a laptop" turns out he has a lapdesk or is it a desklap

Fujitsu`s are quite common for POS applications and backroom servers, I install em all the time. Just installed 4 registers and a backroom pc at a Hallmark last nite, all made by Fujitsu.

Most motherboards have a very wide range of ram that will work without any issues. Just about anything ddr3 of the same pin count is going to work, worst case scenario it will default to a lower speed than stock.
