I wish I had book marked the site, but I read that Windows 7 Starter OS will not support 2G.  I had to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium ($119.00) to use my 2G Ram in my Mini 210.  Good job, microsoft!

Great to have this resource. I have HP 210 mini 1091NR that was gift (wife not savvy on computers so not aware of memory limit) with win7 starter.  When I used link to HP specs for my model it said max memory 1024MB.  Seems limited to 1GB from that spec list and also some folks indicated needed to upgrade bios and possibly Win 7 starter issues for an upgrade.

 

Has anyone else upgraded a 1091NR or one that HP states as max memory only 1GB?  I am tempted to try it anyway as performance meter seems to show memory maxed out most of time when operating programs. 

 

Interested in opinions if I should I expect noticeable gains if I tried and were sucessful to go to 2GB --or are the hardware/Win 7 issues unsolveable in any event?

 

Regards

I recently bought the Kingston PC3-10600 2gb memory module 2 upgrade my mini 210-1170NR.

the Kingston part number is KVR1333D3S9/2G. After installing the SODIMM, and upon boot up, I only saw a black screen.

I tried turning off the mini by holding the power/reset button for a few seconds.

Then, I turned it on again. This time the boot up was successful.

 

I'm still using the 2Gb memory, but occasionally i will encounter the black screen on some boot ups.

I just do a reboot when this happens.

 

Regards.

Probably a bit high for the Mini 210. The specs say PC2 6400.

Hi BH,

My mini 210-1170NR came with a 1Gb DDR3 SODIMM from Hynix. I looked at the spec and its a PC3-10600 module.

So I think using a similar 2Gb SODIMM is ok. However, the Kingston SODIMM was the one I saw available here in the Philippines.

 

Rgds,
