I have a Gateway GM5410E with 2 1GB modules installed. Can these be added to get me to 6GB?

Dennis, I did a Google search on your Gateway specs, and this appears to be compatible with your PC. See that you want to add the 2X 2GB sticks to your existing 2X 1GB sticks, I would highly recommend that you pull one of your existing RAM sticks and do a Google search on the part number to search for specs.. If your existing RAM has the same frequency as these 2GB sticks (533Mhz), then you'll be able to add these to your existing RAM.~Fred

Check the specifications for your PC - especially the capacity of RAM for that specific motherboard. I suspect it will be 4GB max, much faster than what you have now. If there are four bays, you can try and add the two stick and see what the motherboard will accept at boot-up. Before ordering, be sure your memory sticks match.

I believe that you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. My model came preinstalled with 6GB.

I would recommend using the scanner at http://www.crucial.com/ to determine what your motherboard on your Gateway computer supports as far as RAM goes.

Yes. I have a 4GB installed in mine. You should go into "settings" and set it so that aps get installed onto the memory card as to not hog all of what little on board memory there is.

Yes, I did it. You can only replace the existing 1GB module with a 2GB module. I used this one http://www.mini-box.com/2GB-DDR3-SODIMM and you should read completely thru this post and watch the youtube video mentioned in it. It helped me a lot. http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=140&t;=55105

My 5516-5474 has 2 slots,it came with 2GB,I added another 2GB for a total of 4GB.

I have not done so but,this computer has the extra space to add drives. You can get more info on the model by going to the Gateway website.

I don't think so. It is dual channel and only has 2 ram slots and I don't think I have seen 6gb dimms. Your choice is 8 (2x4gb) or 16 (2x8gb)

It looks like the motherboard on that computer has a limit of 8 GB total. Therefore 2x8 GB modules are not supported.

You can use 8Gb modules, there's only 2 DIMMS. I'm using Corsair DDR 3 16GB kit of 2 8Gb 1600Mhz

I upgraded mine with the Corsair 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory (CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9). I'm sure that the equivalent Kingston product will work just as well.

Be careful that your motherboard can accept the 4GB modules, many can't go over 2GB or even 1GB, an easy way to find out is using Crucial's own site. http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/advisor or the Crucial scanner here; http://www.crucial.com/

Yes. You can switch the 2 gb for a 4gb if you want to improve performance. The computer will not recognize any more than that though.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

According to what I read, you need DDR2-667 (PC2-5300) up to 2 gb per SODIMM.

all i did was. i had (1) 512mb and added (1gb) to the other slot works for me but the best way to do that is get 2i have 1.5 gb now. computers work by the power of 2 -- so if you have 128+ 128 =256 or 256+256 =512512+512=1gb not all computers are picky some time you can like me 512+1gb and it works but other computers some time the power of 2 is the way you have to go

Yes, it should work. From Gateway support site I see that the GM5416E shipped with and Intel E6300 Dual core CPU, which uses an LGA775 socket. The E7500 also uses and LGA775 socket, which is the key compatibility requirement. You should verify that your motherboard does indeed have and LGA775 socket (in case the CPU is something other than E6300).
