HP Pavilion Slimline s3130.sc memory upgrade
Read here before you upgrade memory:
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1224011

Please read post #1 in HardForum that I link to above. Here you will read this for the M2NC51-AR (HematiteXL-GL8E) board:

"Supports 4GB of RAM in 2x2GB configuration according to Novak"

Find Novak's post, and you'll read, that after BIOS upgrade, the board will support 2 x 2 GB.

BIOS 5.07 for M2NC51-AR (always download BIOS from official sites):
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&...

I installed 2 x 2 GB, and all 4 GB showes up in Windows as shown in the video.

*Note*
You'll need a 64 Bit version of windows to make use of all the 4 GB.

*WATT*
My GFX is Sapphire Radeon HD 4350, 512MB DDR2. Be aware of WATT used by GFX and WATT output from PSU!

It should be possible to change the PSU and increase the WATT, but you will need a special adaptor to Microfit-ATX, or DIY.

Changing the PSU, se this video (read the comment): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Y2PPMiiB0

*Micro-Fit ATX adapter*

  • @firebrand15: You can always add a psu with more watt. No problem there. It's only when the psu has too little watt, that you've got a problem.
