Hello!
I have a notebook called "Medion Akoya P7624 (MD98920)". According to a service member of Medion it has built in an Intel HM65 Cougar Point. (He read this in the Medion data sheets while we were on the phone.)
Win 7 Home Premium 64bit shows me further more the system has a "2nd Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) Processor Family DRAM Controller - 0104" with the "Hardware-IDs
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0104&SUBSYS_10E717C0&REV_09
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0104&SUBSYS_10E717C0
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0104&CC_060000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0104&CC_0600
"
Also - if those details could help - it shows four types of
"Intel(R) 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 1C10" (resp. Port 2 - 1C12, ...4 ...16, ...5 ...18)"
and
"Intel(R) HM65 Express Chipset Family LPC Interface Controller - 1C49"
and
"Intel(R) 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller - 1C22".
Let's start with the questions:
1. What's the maximum RAM-amount possible to use in this system?
2. Which RAM types could be used? (Currently there is the original one piece of 4 GByte DDR3 1033 set in. The system has two RAM slots)
3. Is there any sense in using another RAM type in the free slot, if I leave the original 4GByte module in there?
4. Will the system be reliably faster if I remove the original RAM and put in two modules of the fastest type usable on my system?
5. Is Dual Channel active on this system? Or could I just use one module of 8GByte or 16 or 32?
Two Medion guys were 100% sure Dual Channel would be outdated and not used on my system, but I saw online on a website one sketch about the Cougar Point layout&features from 2011 that very likely is originally created by Intel and that mentions explicitly "Dual Ch. DDR3"!
6. MOST IMPORTANT: How much warmer could the system get by RAM changes? And how could the power consumption rise?
Currently while writing this my Notebook is 100% noiseless! (I exchanged the main HD with an SSD, too.) And I really would stop from putting more RAM in, if the risk is high that the air cooling would start up too often!
7. Could I use one free RAM slot for something different?
8. Bonus question
Could I built in or attach an M.2 SSD on my system? And if yes, how?
(I would say that should be possible, but the two medion guys were determined it wouldn't.)
The Intel website doesn't show me the datasheet for the HM65. The datasheet is linked on the overall overview webpage about HM65 on the Intel website found via google, but the link is redirected to a landing page with search function, and the search function only shows only very few much newer models.
The details mentioned on popular websites I visited so far are contradicting themselves or are just vague: A system I bought about exactly 5 years ago, and the infos have already vanished or are clouded. Clouded in the original sense - Or is that the real menaing of current cloud systems?
With hope for help and the best greetings
John
P.S. Happily I wrote this in a notepad, because once I send it the website asked me to register, and once registration was done, my message was gone.
