How does Satellite A100-886 RAM support?

I want to improve my A100-886; I want 2-4 GB of ram.
Is this possible?

This real s. You may not use all of the 4 GB due to the 32 bit OS.
This is a limitation of the 32-bit system.

Please check out this Toshiba knowledge base article that describes this problem;

    Hello

    I'll try to give you some answers:

    # According to specification of laptop there two RAM slots
    # Your laptop can handle with 4 GB max, then you can do whatever you want and it depends on how much RAM you want to have inside. You can buy a module of RAM of 2 GB and 3 GB of RAM. That should be enough to work with Vista or Win7 even. Of course, you can upgrade to maximum and buy 2 X 2 GB.
    # It has no meaning at all. If the speed of the FSB of your motherboard is 53 MHz why use 800 MHZ modules. Your laptop will not be faster because of Rams with more MHz.
    # Yes, Kingston product high quality and using Kingston modules, you should not have compatibility problems.
    # I put t see any reason why you shouldn't be able to install Win7, but before this visit Toshiba support page and check if your phone model is supported for Win7.

  • Re: Satellite A100-667 - RAM and CPU upgrade

    Hi all, I am considering upgrading RAM on my * SATELLITE A100-667 * (PSAARE-02700DIT). Is anyone know the maximum amount of ram I can install it? What clock is supported? (553, 667...)

    And what about CPU? The laptop comes with an Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo T5500 1.66 GHz on Intel i945PM chipset.

    Thanks in advance for any information.

    P.

    Hello

    I think that you should also check your RAM upgrades for user manuals. As far as I know that you can upgrade your laptop with 4 GB of RAM. Therefore, you can use DDR2-533 modules. You buy from an authorized service provider or Kingston modules also recommendable.

    Upgrading the CPU is not supported. BIOS and motherboard are tested only with the preinstalled CPU.

  • Upgrade Satellite A100-200 RAM question

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-200, I want to move to 4 GB.
    I install 2 x 2 GB kingston kvr667d2s5/2 GB pc-5300 ddr2 667 mhz.

    Every time I make a control sites Internet it tells me to install PC24200 ddr2 533.
    The above will work even as the 4200 ddr2 533hz as those that I want are a lot cheaper.
    Thank you.

    Will be two sets of ram pergorm exactly the same thing as long as they are paired.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It depends on your bus (FSB) front.
    If the modules of 667 Mhz FSB support 667 Mhz then the PC5300 inserted will be run with maximum efficiency (667 Mhz).

    But if supports FSB, only modules of 533 Mhz and RAM will run at 533 Mhz only even using the fastest modules (PC5300)

    So what you need to do is check the FSB value. You can install a hardware diagnostic tool (IE Everest home edition) to verify the FSB.

    See you soon

  • Satellite A100 - 386 (PSAA9E) - support button

    Hello

    I would like to learn more about the special keyboard keys. I have 4 large buttons on the left side of my keyboard, maybe 6 under: "(internet, cd/dvd, lecture/pause, stop, retour en arrière/avant)."

    I would like to know everything about them: where are they in the control panel? How the Support Button works? How to record TBS are used?

    In fact, I would like to make them a job I want: I don't understand why I have 6 button, but only 2 (internet, cd/dvd) in the software 'button '.
    (of course, nothing happens whatever I set up in support of the key). Another thing: I have a strange Y instead, if the \ in the path of the Support Button. Is this really?

    Hello

    I can understand that you are so curious, but unfortunately no one will be able to give specific answers to your questions. I just write my opinion about it. I hope that you will agree with my opinion.

    In any case all these buttons are designed to make notebook easy and also more comfortable to use. As you can see there are two buttons that you can use to start an application and others are designed for a multimedia application.

    To be honest your sentence
    > I do not understand why I have 6 button, but only 2 (internet, cd/dvd) in the software 'button '.
    completely confused me. If you see 4 buttons are for multimedia I don't understand why you can't understand that. You can use them with EMP, WMP, and WinDVD.

    Exact explanation, how it works, you can find in s operating manuals. Maybe you can tell us how you want to configure all these buttons.

  • Satellite A100 - adding RAM memory

    I use the Satellite A100-599 noetbook with memory-1 GB - 533 Mhz, the system supports upgrade memory up to 4 GB.

    I need to add another 2 GB of ram, but I found it only with 667 Mhz, the question is I can it add ram 2 GB - 667 MHz for 1 GB - 533 MHZ existing ram.
    Kind regards

    You can do this, but the 2 GB 667 MHz module will only work at 533 Mhz.
    The slower module would lock the module more quickly and would allows the module to operate only at 533 MHz

  • Satellite A100 - 521 RAM upgrade only works with original RAM in place

    I am trying to upgrade the memory to 2 GB, as described in the user manual.

    The computer does not start with the two new modules inserted. It will start with 1 GB installed in each slot until the original 256 MB module is inserted in the drive on the right, but does not work when the two 1 GB modules are inserted. There are 2 slots and the maximum is 2 GB for this computer. It told me to update the BIOS that I have on this site, but did not work.

    I am currently using 1 modules of 1 GB and 256 MB provided with the computer module. I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-521.

    Concerning

    Lucy x

    Hello!

    The two new modules have the same specifications as the old module?

    In my opinion, the new modules are perhaps not fully compatible with your laptop or are not compatible in Dual Channel mode.
    What is the exact label of the two modules?

    For the upgrade, you need DDR2-533 modules. I searched a bit using Google and the reference is PA3411U-1M1G.

    Good bye

  • How does the new HTML5 video Support? and what are the limits?

    If the new benefit has been relased as well as many new features, including the video support HTML5 then with the new feature, here are a few new questions!

    How Edge to load the video? It is fully preloaded before Edge shows the content? Or is it more of a pregressive 'youtube' loading while playing?

    Or can choose us?

    What is the example of recommended video file size 4 MB?

    How does edge deal with browsers that only support .ogg or .webm instead of mp4?

    What about ISO & tablets support? loading time, 'delay', etc.?

    When you import an audio or video file, a group is created for you. You can import media with the same name (videosample.ogv; videosample.mp4) this group for compatibility with browsers. The corresponding format is chosen according to the browser which is in charge of the composition.

    About the WebM format - you can also add a webm file in your publication. However since it is a format of royalty, Animate will not display a live preview in the authoring tool. If your browser supports this then it will definitely play fine on the browser preview.

    You can take a look at the video lesson In - app, which is available in the Panel of lesson for more details on how it works.

    And Yes, you have options to preload for HTML5 video too, however progressive download is not available. You will need to use scripts using JS to achieve this functionality.

    Hope this helps and try this out.

  • Satellite A100-596 - RAM does not work in location B

    After meeting with the blue screen of death, my A100-596 was out of service for some time. I decided to give it a last violin and had it work. I removed one of the modules of 512 MB ram and it works fine.

    The problem is that if I put the RAM module the computer starts not (the same problem that he had). I used a program called CPUZ and it recognizes the RAM in two slots (if I insert the other when the computer started upward).

    Why CPUZ recognizes the RAM, but windows does not start with it inserted or even to recognize.

    I've played around with the RAM modules. Two of them work in the A slot but neither location B. The maximum extension of my motherboard is 2 GB, it means that I can't put a 2 GB module in one of the slots?

    It seems strange that CPUZ fortunately sees the RAM in slot B, but windows does not start with it in.

    Help, please.

    > If I insert the other when the computer started upward
    Really pass the RAM if the computer was started? Laughing out loud
    I think that this is not a good idea. An upgrade of RAM should be done only if the computer or portable computer is turned off.

    I put t understand why can CPU - Z can recognize the RAM but Windows not? To run CPU - Z, you must start Windows before.

    However, I think that if both modules n t work in location B the slot is faulty.
    Also if you can upgrade the laptop to 2 GB not using a module with 2 GB of memory. Use two modules with 1 GB for each module.

  • How Downgrade Satellite A100-411 for Windows XP Home edition?

    Hello

    I just bought this laptop soft which has Windows Vista installed.
    Unfortunately, I have to install Windows XP, but in the download section there is no drivers yet for this specific model series called PSAARE.

    Are there other drivers series there?

    Hi Gerhard

    I m surprised that you want to downgrade the OS for XP because most of the people here in the forum ask the Vista upgrade and Vista drivers!
    However, I think that most of the devices or parts are the same in the books series A100 and in my opinion you should try to use drivers from another A100 series
    Before installing the driver compare the portable devices and if another computer laptop uses the same device then you can also use the driver
    Good luck

  • Question of function on a Satellite A100-049 keys

    Hello, I am new on this forum please bear with me if I am wrong.

    I just bought a Satellite A100-049 and supported by mistake on the F10 key. Turns the LED under the key and I discovered to my horror that I couldn't type some letters and, worse still, I could not disable the F10, that is! I finally had to restart.

    I can see doing what F1 to F9 from the dropdown at the top of the screen, but I can't work out what should I F10, F11 and F12 and I'm in constant fear of press them! The manual and the web site of Toshiba do not seem to offer any help, even if it is probably because I don't know where to look.

    Can anyone of you kind experts out there find out?

    Thank you very much

    John

    Hello

    Maybe, I know how to solve your problem. Try to press "Fn + F10" (hold Fn and press F10 at the same time).
    Then your keyboard should work properly again.
    Maybe you press a combination of keys (for example "Fn + F10"), then the alternative keyboard on your keyboard has been activated.

    Please give some feedback if my clue helped you.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support on Vista?

    Hello. I've recently updated my satellite pro a100-828 to windows vista, and things work well to a large extent with two exceptions:

    1. I can't figure out how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support: media-keys to the left and the fn keys do nothing. There seems to be no shortcut keyboard-utility for windows vista in the drivers * tion. So what to do?
    2. the standby electricity utility is not available, which is good because of the power saver new vista. Except that I can't dim the screen, so the battery does not last me too long. How can I do this?

  • Satellite A100-998 - support 2 GB RAM modules?

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade the memory of my laptop. The vehicle currently have 2x1GB modules in the expansion slots. The manual says it takes PC4200 200 pin memory, but does not specify if it will accept 2 GB sticks as this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/164911. It does not mention of the sticks of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB.

    However, I see no reason why he would not support the higher capacity, if I wanted to move to 4-GB memory total. Can someone confirm that this will work? Thank you!

    Andrew

    Hi André,.

    According to the specs on the page of Toshiba, Satellite A100-998 supports 2-GB memory modules. This means that you can install the 2 GB of memory in each memory slot for a maximum capacity of 4 GB.

    For example, I recommend high-quality Kingston modules. I always buy Kingston modules for upgrade and never had any problems.

  • Does Vista support Core Duo on Satellite A100

    Recently I bought laptop Satellite A100-784 with Core Duo CPU and pre-installed Vista Home Basic and I have a question about.

    Among all the tables of comparison of the different versions of Vista that I found on the Internet, it has been said that Vista Home Basic Edition does not support the technology of modern processor dual-core. I would like to know the Vista that was preinstalled on my laptop Core Duo, if it a slightly modified version of Vista Home Basic with the CPU support double core or is it just a Vista Home Basic standard that doesn't support CPU Core Duo in its entirety?

    Why I ask:
    (1) I see no sence to change Windows XP that came before with Satellite A100 laptop series and who supported the technology double heart with operating system that may not cover all previous Windows features.

    (2) in comparison tables, it was also said Vista Home Basic is not compatible WiFi well in windows, I got with my computer laptop WiFi was preinstalled with a complete coverage of the operating system that makes me thihk that the preinstalled Vista is a bit modyfied in support of all possible features of this exact notebook.

    Someone could he clear to me?

    Thank you in advance.

    Please show me this comparison table, cant believe it :) Vista Home Basic supports processors Dual-Core as well as WiFi, what a question!

    Maybe learn you about multiple CPU systems. This could be. But two cores in one processor is not a problem!
