Can I install 4 GB of RAM in my Satellite A100-033?

I have a Satellite A100-033 (PSAANE-03J02GEN). The manual says that it will support only 2 GB of RAM. Does anyone know if it will support actually 4GB? I installed 2 x 1 GB instead of the supplied 2x512MB and am trying to install 2 x 1 GB? It will work, or is there a restriction in the motherboard or BIOS which means that most RAM is recognized? Can anyone help?

Hello

If the manual says you can improve it only 2 GB of RAM, you can then use only 2 x 1 GB modules.
But if you insert 2 x 2 GB RAM modules then either your laptop does not start or it might start but all of the 4 GB would not be recognized.

Generally, there are Windows 32 bit OS (no matter if it s Vista or XP) would use and recognize only same 3.2 GB 4 GB RAM max would be inserted.

And of course, there are a lot of restrictions on the RAM;
If the chipset and BIOS does not allow 4 GB of RAM, so you wouldn't be able to use it.

See you soon

  • Can not install device driver USB IRDA Kingsun on Satellite A100 with Vista OS

    I have a USB IRDA Kingsun device that worked well on a desktop with XP but my Satellite A100 with Vista defies installing the drivers that came on a CD with the IRDA.

    How can I install or does anyone know one that works with Vista?

    Hello

    If you are not able to install the 3rd party device IRDA driver on Vista, it seems that the disc is not compatible and don t support Vista.
    Seems you have to contact the manufacture of the IRDA device and ask the compatible reader

    But maybe that you're unlucky and the Vista driver does not exist?  :|

  • I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5.  Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?

    I have a faulty ram (top) slot for a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro 13 "i5.  Can I install a 8 GB Ram in the slot below or is maximally 4 GB?

    This was after the 3 beep error and I couldn't restart the Mac with one of the 2 GB of Ram into the lower slot.

    Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

    Thank you

    Yes, the MBP will work with a single module of RAM installed, but there will be a slight performance decrease.  A MBP 2012 will accept a module of 8 GB RAM.

    Is there a way to test if the top housing is faulty or just dirty?

    Install each RAM module individually in each slot, leaving the other empty.  If the two RAM modules work in a slot and not the other, the slot is faulty.  Sometimes the adjustment screw can resuscitate the slot.  If this is not the case, make an appointment at an Apple store for a FREE evaluation.

    Ciao.

  • I would like to upgrade the RAM of the Satellite A100-803

    Hello

    I want to upgrade the RAM of my Satellite A100-803, which uses actually PC2-533, at 4 GB.

    Can I upgrade to PC2 - 667?
    Do I need Dual-Channel?
    One advises on what brand or the best model to use?

    If I not mistaken and for what I could see around the internet, I should be able to switch to 4 GB PC2-667 and Dual-Channel should not be necessary. But an expert of confirmation would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Best regards.

  • Can I install 20 GB of Ram on my iMac 27 inch 2011

    I just upgraded my iMac 27 inch 2011 from 4 GB to 16 GB model. I installed two chips of 8GB. I can also install the 2 other 2 GB chips? Or is - better than for a total of 16 GB to 32 GB on this machine. Apple staff told me that it is not good to use too much Ram on my iMac, because it would be somehow the cause of the problems on the system.

    I am running OS X El Capitan.

    Thanks for your help.

    16 GB max is all that 2011 will focus on the iMac. It has 4 total slots but put the RAM in the empty slots will not do anything.

    Hello everyone

    I have formatted the hard drive of my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-712, downloaded the sound and drivers BT of this amazing site.

    But there is still a problem.
    In Device Manager, there are yellow signs with the realtek drivers and bt. I don't know what to do?

    Please, you can list the steps for a correct installation for these drivers?
    BCZ I'm crazy... :(
    Thank you

    Hello

    First question: why you n t use the Toshiba Recovery CD?
    This CD contains all the drivers, tools and utilities, and you do not have to install any drivers separately

    Secondly: The Toshiba driver page, you should find the installation instructions document
    Just follow the order of installation mentioned in the txt file and everything should work!

    PS: Don't forget to use the right drivers. I think that the A100-712 is outside the PSAA9E series

  • Where can I download HotKey utility for Win XP for Satellite A100 PSAAKL?

    Hi all

    I have a * Satellite A100 PSAAKL * that I bought in Thailand (by little girlfriend is thai, and let's do a lot). It came with Windows Vista, but I prefer Windows XP so I installed instead. But the hot keys does not work. So I can't change the brightness of the screen for example (it's a bit dark for my taste).

    I looked on the websites of the European and Asian Toshiba and find no download for this util HotKey for my model and for Windows XP. It is not at all? Or can I download the keyboard shortcut for a different model perhaps utility, and it will work for my model?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Concerning
    / Jimi

    Hello

    Problem is that the software is stuff specific to country and Toshiba tools and utilities for European models will be designed in Europe and also tested on the European laptop models. They may work on some other models, but no one can say for sure. If they run properly this is nothing but good luck.

    Then you can try to use the stuff on the page of European assistance, United States, Canada or Australia.

    By the way: if I remember well display lighting can be changed in the power setting.
    Am I right about that?

  • Can I create a CD of drivers on my Satellite A100-784?

    Hi all...

    I have a Satellite A100-784 with family basic Vista Edition recovery disk... . How can I get all the drivers on my laptop ' coz when I open the folder of drivers (in c:\toshiba) I found that the WLAN and display drivers?

    A few years ago I had Satellite L20, and there was an icon of the CD in the folder of Toshiba in the c: partition, when I click on it, I could burn all the drivers on a CD...

    Can I got this thing in my A100?

    Thanks indeed...

    Hello

    You can't compare this computer models two laptops. Now we have time to Vista and many things have changed.
    As far as I know Vista something like this is not possible. On my Satellite P200 Vista is the same. Just several, I assume that most importantly, drivers are stored on the HARD drive.

    Anyway, if you need Vista drivers you can find all the on Toshiba page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com for assistance

  • Need help to install the driver Intel Lan on a Satellite A100-011

    I bought Toshiba Satellite A100-011 with Windows Vista laptop. Now, I went down the operating system to Windows XP. The problem is how to install the Intel Lan driver. I would really appreciate any help, because there is no .exe file and I have no idea what to do with these files.

    Hey Buddy,

    the files that are in the zip file are really drivers, but you must install them manually which means you have to go into the Device Manager, look for the LAN device which should probably have an exclamation point and then right-click on it. After clicking on a wizard should appear which brings us to you trough the installation process. When the wizard application for pilots (if not found already automatically), and then point to the folder where the driver files.

    Then, everything should be good. :)

    You can, but it will not help you because the FSB is clocked at 800 Mhz and 1066 Mhz how fast would be clocked at 800 Mhz.
