Hi,
I have a T3500 and upgraded the CPU from a W3503 to a X5677. Latest A17 Bios running. The machine originally had 12GB (6x2gb) Hynix HMT325U7BFR8A (H9 1333 version) but with the X5677 I have only ever been able to get 3 x 2gb working.
As I am doing more CAD work on the machine than previously and using the latest software I am keen to at least get back to 12Gb if not upgrade to the full 24Gb. Can anyone advise if I should theroretically be able to to run all 6 of these hynix modules with the westmere processor and suggest a fix if so?
I am hesitant to buy other modules until I know it is definitely the RAM and not the CPU. Any advice greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Ross
