Question 1

can i replace dimms to sdram ?

Accepted Answer

Hi i would like to help but i cant figure out what is your question? Sdram is a kind of memory recomanded by the motherboard manufacturer and Dimms are units of such memory so if motherboard as two slots available you can put two dimms of Sdram memory and if your asking about laptop it is called Sodim and is completely different thing hope this help you

Question 2

I have a HP Compaq CQ5320Y with a hynix 2GB and a Samsung 1 GB memory sticks. Are these two sticks what I need for my computer to make it run faster?  The ones that I have are PC3 10600.

Addison,

I'm using 2 of these (4GB total) on an ASUS motherboard that already had a pair of 2GB memories, so now I have 8 GB.

Adding mem is usually the first thing to help performance, since it's easy, cheap, and definitely helps when you're running multiple programs.

I just checked the Corsair site memory finder to zero in on the exact memory specs you need.

I entered your model number CQ5320Y in the Search by Mfgr Model Name.  the results indicate the Hewlett-Packard Presario CQ5320Y has 4 GB memory maximum, and 2 expansion slots.

Therefore, I don't think getting new memory (a pair of 2 GB) to replace one 2GB and one 1 GB will help you much, particularly if your OS (Windows?) is 32 bit.

Hope this helps.  If you have a PC > 5 yrs old, w/ 4 GB limit, it may be time to start shopping.

Question 3

Is this memory compatible with CM3X2048-1333C9DHX
XMS3-1333 2048MB 1333MHz 9-9-9-24 1.60v purchased from Newegg as the same item# ?

Accepted Answer

I just reread your question, and I have no practical knowledge of the CM3X2048-1333C9DHX memory.  You might that question in the Corsair user forums.  All you have to do is Google "corsair user forums" to find the link.

Question 4

I have an Intel board with 4GB of Corsair memory (CM3X2048-1333C9DHX).   
XMS-1333  2048MB  1333MHz  9-9-9-24  1.60v  ver2.1  09092533

I want to upgrade to 8GB of memory. This memory looks exactly like mine except the voltage is 1.5v instead of 1.6v.  Will this slight voltage difference case any problems?

Accepted Answer

It should support it just fine. Your motherboard should adjust accordingly. If not, you should be able to adjust it in your UEFI.
