Pavilion dv6000 modelo RT146EA#ABB

Hola. Tengo una pavilion dv6000 modelo RT146EA#ABB...Quiero ponerle más ram, le puse 2 módulos de 2 gigabytes cada uno (total 4 gigabytes) y la BIOS actual versión F13 solo detecta 3 gigabytes. tambien me gustaria ponerle otro procesador mas rapido, un t7200....... podria actualizarlo con la ultima bios disponible y aceptar los 4 gigas de ram, cuanto me sale un nuevo procesador, cambiarlo y hacer que el nuevo procesador lo acepte? ¿Me podrías enviar el archivo de Bios para instalarlo desde Windows?

Hi:

 

I believe that even with the BIOS update the notebook is only going to report 3 of the 4 GB of memory as usable.

 

Yes, you can install the T7200 processor in your notebook.

 

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the list of supported processors:

 

Maintenance and Service Guide (hp.com)

 

Here are the info and exe files for the last BIOS update HP released for your notebook.

 

Since the files were written to be run on WXP or Vista, I have no idea what will happen if you try updating the BIOS in W7 or newer Windows operating systems.

Gracias actualizo el bios y les cuento el resultado......lastima si no reconoce los 4 gigas de ram.

HP Recommended

You're very welcome.

La Bios no aceptara  los 4 gigas ?   Mi idea es pasarme a Windows 64 bits para que sistema operativo reconozca toda la memoria

Hi:

 

That won't matter.

 

Your notebook's mobile GM945 chipset can only support a maximum of 4 GB of memory, so even if you install a 64-bit OS, you will get the same result.

 

A 64 BIOS OS uses more memory and storage than a 32-bit OS does.

 

Not double, but more.

 

In order for a 64-bit OS to see the full 4 GB of memory the chipset has to support more than 4 GB of memory.

 

I learned this firsthand when I installed a 64-bit OS on a HP nc6400 notebook with the same chipset as yours, 4 GB of memory and it still only recognized the 3.xx GB of memory.
