Hi guys i have 1 year old laptop HP 530 Business notebook....working fine....i thinking of upgrading it.
Current configuration is:
Intel 945 GME Express Chipset
Intel Core Duo(1.8GHz)Processor.
512mb DDR2 ram(2 SODIMM Slots)
80 GB HDD
My question Are:
Can i upgrade its RAM to 4gb or atleast to 3gb?
Can i upgrade Its HardDisk to 320 gb....?
will it Affect my system performance....?
Kindly Help..
Thanks in advance
It is working.
Tested first with one new module with 2GB RAM, then with 2 modules, 2GB (new) + 1GB (original). Post and Windows are showing 3GB.
The HP 530 notebook is working OK.
Hi
RAM installed
512 MB
Max supported RAM
2 GB
RAM technology
DDR2 - for laptops
so 3 and 4gb are out of the question.
The hard drive is a SATA - 2.5" laptop hard drive, the 320 should work in my opinion but I can't guarantee it 100%, you may want to take it to a local professional that can first test the 320 drive on the laptop before you purchase it. if it doesn't work buy a smaller drive.
the 320gb drive wont affect performance much, it will give you more room for your files.
the memory upgrade to 2GB will help ALOT.
Testimonial: "Thx alot...."
To make sure I told you the right stuff I wen't and got the service manual for the laptop, I see that the Intel Core Solo T1400 1.83-GHz processor which I assume your laptop now has is the best available, but since this document is few years old(2007) a newer cpu may work.
Also what it says on memory it says:
Memory modules (667-MHz, PC2-5300, 1-DIMM) maximum for 1 slot - 1024-MB
Hard drive part lists 120GB hard drive has bigest available well again as a old document there may not have been bigger ones available, will probably work with a bigger one.
if you need help in replacing the hard drive or memory yourself this service document will help you
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs...
page number 36 on pdf reader tells about memory replacement.
HP website does offer a BIOS update that may help the laptop to work with newer CPU's, Hard drives. But I think its unlikely to help on the memory.

I also went and looked up the Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset
System Memory Support
• Supports single-/dual-channel DDR2 SDRAM
• Maximum Memory supported: up to 4 GB at 400, 533 and 667 MHz
• 64-bit wide per channel
• Three Memory Channel Configurations supported:
— Single-Channel
— Dual-Channel Symmetric
— Dual-Channel Asymmetric
At this point I don't know who to trust, Try a 2GB module see if it works, if it doesn't then go with 1GB modules.
