I purchased and installed this RAM for my D630. NO BOOT! I fear there's a speed mismatch. Must they be the same? New: 800 MHz / Original: 667.

I cannot speak to speed mismatch, but I can speak to not booting. It took me several tries to get my d620 booted. I had to re-seat the memory twice and then mess with the setting in the bios to get the machine to boot. Once I got it booted it has worked well ever since. most memory can run at lower speeds, another problem I had was it would only see one stick, again the re seating and setting the bios fixed my issue

you can get the specs from dell to see the max speed for that machine and make sure they are properly seated

I installed it (2-2gb modules) in my Dell 630 and had no major issues. Sometimes after you install the ram it goes through a check that can take several minutes to complete. If this is the case, just walk away from it for 10 mins or so and see if it boots. If you get a memory error beep, either their is a problem with a module or they are not seated all the way.

It worked fine in my D630. Did you replace both sticks? If you only replace the easy one under the battery tray it might not work. You have to take the keyboard off (find easy directions to do it on youtube) and replace the inner one. After that it should work fine.

I believe the general consensus is that to ensure no issues, buy the exact match for additional memory, if you can. If you can't buy the exact match, then speed and timings should at least match or come as close as possible. However, don't look at only the first number; look at the rest as well. I stuck 2 sticks of this memory in a new build. It works like a champ on an ASUS Z97-WS board with a water-cooled i7 4790k overclocked to 4.8.

I am currently running 4 8gb corsair vengeance 1866mhz with no problems. there could be several problems: 1. how many sticks of 1600 do you have? Check the instructions for putting in only 2 sticks. They do not go next to each other, they go in either dimm 1 and dimm 3 2. Check with only one stick. That way you can easily check which stick does not work. 3. Take the ram to get tested. If its bad, return it or get new ram. Are you hitting the button on the mobo that says ramchk? does the red mem led stay on? Last resort is always send the mobo back for a replacement.

This ram did NOT work with my brand new netbook. It continually skipped when trying to view video that played fine with the original 1GB the netbook came with. I also had the problem Roy did where it wouldn't shut down completely. Tired of all of the hang-ups and not properly shutting down I reinstalled the original 1GB and it is working (and turning off) perfectly. I'm still searching for a compatible upgrade.

Hey Brad, I recently upgraded my RAM using this stick http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EOUFEG2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ... Worked perfect for me. Haven't experienced any compatibility issues!

I put it in a Dell M6700. Seems to work just fine. There should be no problem using faster ram than your computer can handle. Slower you might have an issue.

Check Apple support site. Look up your computer model. That's where I found the information regarding what to do with my particular model. Then I purchased the correct ram cards and everything worked as expected. Perfecto!!!

I was unable to get mine working. I have a suspicion that this particular RAM needs to be installed as a matched pair.

nVidia graphic card is not good for D630. I installed a new motherboard with the nVidia graphic card and it burned out within a month.

No, they are the wrong type and wrong pin configuration. The 2x4GB memory for the D630 may be found here: B00A0WQ8XG

Thanks for the news. One more thing, is it just me or is my computer running slower with my 2gb 667 ram as opposed to the 1gb 800 ram? It seems like it is.Thanks again.

I Went back to my amazon order of this ram I bought and it's only recommended for dell latitude d510x1/d610/d810. Phillip

I maxed out the memory on my machine to 16GB. In your case, I think you will have to pair the RAM up. Two 4GB sticks on slots 1 and 3, and then two 2GB sticks on slots 2 and 4. (Or it may be the other way around.) I would just make sure that the speed of the RAM are identical. In other words, the originals are 1600MHz RAM, the additional ones should also be that too.

That's odd. Out of all the memory I have been looking at, this one was the one which seemed to complement the compatability of the ASUS 1015PED. Are you sure it is not DDR2? The netbook is DDR3. Maybe they sent you the incorrect model. Double check, but try and return it to Amazon to get your money back.I'll keep an eye out for any other memory which would be compatable with this netbook. Sorry about your memory upgrade issues. Thanx for the info.

There wasn't an option on this particular [Dell D620/D630] Notebook for 800MHz. The only options were 533MHz or 667MHz so I took the 667MHz. Not sure what the specs on this particular memory is but I went with the 667MHz version and it works fine. I hope that helps!!!

What is the exact model number of your machine? You can try this memory and if it doesn't work we can always send a replacement to match what you currently have in your system.

Von - I really have no idea if they will work. As a matter of fact I bought similar ram from another vendor which didn't work in my Dell. I returned those (pita) and tried Komputerbay -- no problem with those. All I did was try the ones which were recommended --if it worked, great - if not, back they went. It won't hurt to try either way. Good luck -Howie
