Latitude D620 and D630 are laptop royalty. They have been around since the "computer mesolithic" and are rock solid reliable (as well as being Dell-heavy!!!). I was using one up to 2019. Dell were still updating BIOS files for D630 in 2020 which is quite impressive. If you are doing simple undemanding stuff then there is plenty life in them. If only the latest stuff was as tough and reliable.
I bought one of these for almost $30 for my collection. The Panasonic made battery was totally dead but it came back to life, but it gets a little too warm for my liking. It has a Windows Vista Business COA on it, has a C2D T8300 @ 2.4ghz and 2gb of RAM. I might get it 4 gigs, heard it can use 8, but some people selling ram on ebay make it way to expensive.
I’ve noticed it does get quite hot on the bottom at times. The native support for RAM caps at 4 GiB, but there are a number of reports that suggest 8 works just fine. I’d put in an SSD before getting more RAM.
Replying from this very machine right now, still running the old 5400RPM drive. There many people and use cases for which this machine is, and will continue to be, completely satisfactory.
RAM extension from 1GB to 4GB, SSD 120GB, Windows 7 ... and welcome to 2019! Ampliación de RAM de 1gb a 4gb, SSD 120gb, Windows 7... y bienvenida al 2019!
Dell D630 punya saya HDD diupgrade ke SSD 256GB, tapi memory hanya bisa diupgrade ke DDR...2GB. Apakah bisa ditingkatkan ke DDR2 4GB, Boss ? Terimakasih.
I found this laptop model at a thrift store in my area for 8 dollars. It was missing the power cable. So I got one off ebay for 10. The Windows XP install that came with it was being very slow and I realized it was the 32 bit version, on a 64 bit laptop. Dell didn't offer drivers for XP x64 on the driver site, so I decided to put 7 on it instead. Now its perfect. Only problem now is it only has 2GB ram. It's not harming anything being that low, but since it can hold 8GB I wanted to get 4 4GB sticks. But the current price on ebay, amazon, and newegg are over a hundred dollars... For old ram... Either way I'm happy I got this laptop so cheap. The previous owner was probably not very tech savvy and ditched it because it was "slow". But I would say over 10 years using the same windows install, only using half the CPU power, kinda does that. lol
While there are a lot of reports of it taking 8 with no problem, it's only intended to handle 4. I think the $35 upgrade for an SSD is far more worthwhile than the RAM.
12.20.2022 .Tuesday.. USA )( Hi... do the Dell latitude d630 laptop use two different types of rams under the keyboard and on the back...( R is the Rams the same....( what are the two Ram numbers on the Rams you bought from Amazon.....
These are very desireable for using Windows XP + factory automotive diagnostic tools on cars from the 80's and 90's. The D620 and D630 is one of the last notebooks with a serial port, which you need.
Some one gave me this laptop 4 years ago a d it had xp on it it was working great the only thing there was no sound I tried updating the drivers but didnt work so just yesterday I took out the laptop after all these years and I just updated to windows 10 and everything works fine now and now imma update the ram cards and thank you for this video and imma update the hard drive to ssd
I will warn you, it is super slow when you play video games on it with the Intel option for your processor. I upgraded mine to 64 bit from a 32 bit OS and it runs just fine now. Mine only works when you plug it in, and I need to replace the battery. Could be why it's slow.
@@JordanU I ordered a cheap set of $20 2gb sticks to equal 4gb. I didnt see the point in maxing the ram to 8gb..and paying $150 and messing with bios to make sure it all worked. Alot of ram kits out there 6400 800mhz ddr2 sodimms. Which are too fast and would be a waste of money to slow them to 666mhz. So.. I stuck with 5300 666mhz because that's what this laptop board's max bus speed is. They are non-ecc (no error correcting) and unbuffered. Buffered n ECC is more for servers.
@@Meekimotosyoutubechannel That was probably the best choice. I don't mess with adding more memory than the machine claims to be able to handle. I've tried it on a few occasions and never had good results.
I believe it does have a x64 processor. The officially supported amount of RAM is 4 GiB, which is plenty if you have an SSD. I've heard mixed results about putting 8 GiB memory into these, some people have gotten it to work fine.
Try 64-bit Linux Mint Xfce on an SSD and with 2+GB of DDR2 SODIMM. 800MHz RAM might be compatible but not at that speed, or your other stick only supports 667 MHz.
The processor is x64 compatible.. The limit of an x86 architecture system is 4 GB when it comes to RAM.. The existing systems will read the RAM in full..
I had one tight screw also. I managed to get my vice grips to pinch down small enough to grab the screw head that I could start it. Then I was able to remove it with my screwdriver.
As far as I understand it, the native support in this machine caps out at 4 GB.. Before I did this upgrade I read through a number of forums discussing the 8 GB option and saw mixed results.. Since you're going beyond what the machine was intended to do, the results are unpredictable.. It may work perfectly fine if you put that 4 GB stick in, or it may crash, or it may just read only half of it.. You may be able to finagle with different options and get it to work properly.. I don't believe there's a set answer for this one, you'll have to try it and see what happens..
you need a 64-bit os to run 8gb ram. I noticed that the poster had a 32-bit system. But it still recognized all 4 gb's ram. A t60 lenovo machine from just about the same vintage would only recognize 3, even if you had 4 in it.
@@cambium0 The 4 GiB of memory is a hardware constraint listed by Dell. There are some reports of it being able to recognize 8 depending on the version of BIOS you install, but nothing more than 4 is supported by Dell. As far as the operating system is concerned, a 32 bit system can recognize up to 4 on any system.

Not at all. I wasn't aware that it was doing a full check. Usually a cut like that would indicate that the new RAM didn't work properly the first time, which was the reason I asked.

Bought one of these on EBay for £20. Upgraded to a SSD and 4G of ram & this does everything I need a laptop for. Why pay more?

Has anyone put 8GB into this laptop?
still works fast woth 2gb ram on linux mint
2 GiB goes a long way on well-written operating systems.

Hi.. I'M UPGRADING MY LAPTOP D630 .. MY QUESTION IS.. THE DIMM B PLACE.. WHAT KIND OF MEMORY IS BETTER FOR THIS.. THANKS
The same piece of memory can go in both slots.
how much memory does it support
Very helpful post, thank you.
Is this DDR2 ram or DDR3
DDR2
I just got for free a latitude D430 it has 2gb of ram is it possible to upgrade it to 8 gb of ram and a 64 bit processor?
I believe it does have a x64 processor. The officially supported amount of RAM is 4 GiB, which is plenty if you have an SSD. I've heard mixed results about putting 8 GiB memory into these, some people have gotten it to work fine.
i install 2 ram 800mhz but its only read 667 mhz plss help.me my laptop is suck even 1 tab on chrome cant handle.
That's how it works...
Try 64-bit Linux Mint Xfce on an SSD and with 2+GB of DDR2 SODIMM. 800MHz RAM might be compatible but not at that speed, or your other stick only supports 667 MHz.
Pernah kucoba tp lampu isian baterainya malah mati 😁
That doesn't make sense.
I am planing a dell Project with Linux mint 19.3 and SSD drive cheers
An SSD is probably an even better upgrade than the RAM.
I like it
OK
How many GB RAM does the motherboard support?
4
Bro can I upgrade my Dell Latitude 630 to ddr2 4gb ram
Yes
Now you just have to upgrade the processor and all the operating systems to 64 bit to actually make use of that RAM!
The processor is x64 compatible.. The limit of an x86 architecture system is 4 GB when it comes to RAM.. The existing systems will read the RAM in full..
Please sir you give you me a link of ram
Who?
can we upgrade this to 8 gb
The maximum theoretical amount of memory is 8 GiB.
what's name of the ram , i have to google it and buy it
It is DDR2 memory.
When I tried to remove the keyboard screws, they were so tight that I stripped two screws, any advice on what to do?
If they are stripped, you will probably have to drill them out.
I had one tight screw also. I managed to get my vice grips to pinch down small enough to grab the screw head that I could start it. Then I was able to remove it with my screwdriver.
I did a scan at crucial and was told I can upgrade to 8G. Right now I have 4G, 2G in each slot. Can I exchange one of them for a 4G and have total 6G?
As far as I understand it, the native support in this machine caps out at 4 GB.. Before I did this upgrade I read through a number of forums discussing the 8 GB option and saw mixed results..

@@JordanU Thank you, The scan indicated that my system is 64 bit so now I have win 10 with 4G and it did say I can max at 8G.
@@wathah323 Did you max it to 8G? How did it go?
@@Sourdoughgirl I did not. I sold it.
so Its 32bit computer?
The processor supports x64 architecture.
Thanks Jordan! I just bought a used D630 with Windows XP. Your instructions were perfect!
You're welcome, glad the video was helpful.
What is the ram that you buy name?
I do not understand what you're asking.
DDR2, PC2-5300 667MHz or PC2-6400 800MHz SODIMM, max 4 GB per stick, but i read a 32-bit OS can only use 4 GB total.
Whats the maximum i can upgrade the ram ?
4 theoretical, but there are reports of it working with up to 8. An SSD will likely give a better performance upgrade than more memory.
you need a 64-bit os to run 8gb ram. I noticed that the poster had a 32-bit system. But it still recognized all 4 gb's ram. A t60 lenovo machine from just about the same vintage would only recognize 3, even if you had 4 in it.

What's with the cut in the video at 5:38?

To my surprise, and even more to my delight, this L-cheap-O RAM was plug&play and has worked perfectly since it was installed..
The Hynix RAM was probably cheaper--a lot of pre-built systems use that crap. Most times it works, memory is pretty resilient. "L-cheap-O"? Try "el-cheapo" next time.
Perhaps..
I'm not trying that next time..
DDR?
DDR3?
