Is Satellite L300 identical Equium L300?

Are the same or not?

I'm a fan of Toshiba.

1 year ago, I bought a Toshiba L30-105, which, in my opinion, was pretty good for my work. It was only ATI X200m, 80 GB and I have upgraded the memory to 2 GB bus 667 Mhz memory that work perfectly (Ram 667 Mhz 333 Mhz GPU).

1 week ago I decided to buy a new laptop for answering me work practices and I decided for Toshiba Equium L300-146, which is new and not expensive (350 pounds). However, I am totally disappointed in this respect. He has a better processor L30 and more large hard drive, however, despite the fact that a module of 1 Gb 667 Mhz has been given, the computer can only work at 533 Mhz bus (tested by CPUId 1.45). I also tested the GPU clock, which is worse than ATI X200m. Before I bought this laptop, by Googling on the internet, I've seen people say x 3100 is better than Ati X200m and Memclock/GPUclock works at 400 MHz. On the L300, it's even worse than Intel GMA950 Chipset. I'm really disappointed with what I discovered. In addition, L300 has low L30 WIndows experience index.

It's too late for me to change a new computer now. However, I wrote this hoping that TOSHIBA would have new BIOS upgrade so that the computer will completely Dram Bus 667 MHZ and better clock Mem/GPU that is indicated on the Intel Web site.

As far as I know, it should be the same. Only difference is the name of the laptop. As far as I know name that equium is used in the United Kingdom only. In other European countries, the name is satellite.
What about the performance? If I remember well L30 comes with WXP home and new satellite with Vista. You know for sure that Vista needs a lot more resources and have an active background of many processes.

I will not write here on Toshiba notebooks only, but the fact is that each laptop manufacturer install a lot of things that can slow down the operating system running and have a negative influence on the performance of the laptop. What you need to do is optimization of operating system and RAM upgrade. Good strategy each notebook and PC can work like crazy.

Please do not be disappointed. Check all installed stuff, remove things you don't need, value added package update and I am sure that the result will be much better. This model of laptop is new and I'm sure that Toshiba will offer the BIOS update in the coming weeks or months.

Good luck!

  • Disc SSD in Satellite L300-19O

    Hello
    Is it posible to use in Satellite L300-19O SSDS?

    Hello

    SSD should work in Satellite L300. Theoretically, the SSD is identical to a HARD drive because it has the same interface (SATA). Only the technology is another and so it works faster, produces less heat, etc.

    If you have your SSD, you can give us feedback: how it works. That would be interesting! :)

  • Satellite L300 PSLB8E - how to increase the ram clock speed

    I have a laptop which is equipped with 2 slots for ram PC2-6400
    1 - Samsung module M4 70T5663QZ3-CF7 [800 MHz] 2GB
    2 - Samsung module M4 70T2864QZ3-CF7 [800 MHz] 1 GB
    GPU: Intel GM45
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 Mobile @ 2000 MHz
    According to the manufacturer, this kit allows you to work with the 667/800 MHz memory speed, but the problem is that reference programs show the actual frequency of the ram at 399 MHz.

    Question No. 1:
    (a) why not clock the memory works in 800 MHz but only 399 MHz,
    (b) how to change to a 800 MHz

    Question No. 2:
    I'm going to buy a processor
    Penryn Core 2 Duo T9600 processor (1066 MHz FSB) (2.80 G) Hz or T9400 (2.53 G)
    and install it in the computer
    and increase the memory of 2 x 4 GB 800 MHz (8 GB)

    I explained that this possibility is provided for by the manufacturer according to the Maintenance Manual for:
    Toshiba computer
    Satellite L300/L305
    Satellite Pro L300
    EQUIUM L300
    SATEGO L300
    (PSLB8x/PSLB9x)
    (PSLBAx / PSLBBx)

    If this operation will help to improve system performance

    I put t know what programs you use and if it is good or not if this info can be good and perhaps not. I put t know. The fact is that you n t have one any influence on the functionality of memory and I doubt that you can do something and change some values.

    Exact specification for laptop laptop does not for me but I think that Satellite L300 must have Intel GM45 chipset and I presume that for your motherboard FSB is 667 MHz. You can improve up to 8 GB and compatible 4 GB RAM module has PA3670U-1M4G part number.

    Upgrade CPU on Satellite L300? I put t know man. A friend of mine has this model of laptop and I don t know if it's the right decision to spend money to upgrade this old model of laptop budget.

    Hey

    I try me set up my dial-up access, so I can use internet at home...
    It is said that any modem devices are
    but in the previous copy of windows that I had... everything was fine.
    would u please help me solve this problem?

    I guess that you have activated the Device Manager and there is no yellow exclamation point isn't good?
    Figure modem in the list?
    It should be!

    How have you tried to configure the dial-up access?
    You should do this;
    Go to the category modems Options - Control Panel - hardware and sound - and.
    In the local info window, select an area code; for example, 0.
    Then click the Modems tab, click Add.
    If a User Account Control warning window appears, click on continue, and then click Next.
    Now Windows Vista should attempt to detect the modem.
    When the modem installation is complete, click Finish.

    Then the new modem installed should appear. Click OK to close the Options of Modem and telephony.
    Now, your modem is installed correctly, and you must now create a modem connection.

    What should I do?
    Best regards

    Hey Buddy,

    If you have tested the HARD drive in a box of another and external HARD drive laptop without success the case is clear: the HARD drive needs to be replaced because it s defective!

    I can understand that you want to recover your data, but what do you do if you are not able to access? In this case you need assistance, a special data recovery lab, but it is not cheap and costs hundreds of dollars.

    I m wondering that you don't have a backup. Have you never tried to do it or thought it would be useful?

    Last but not least a new HARD drive can be ordered at a service provider authorized in your country or each computer store. Satellite L300 supports SATA 2.5 hard drives.

  • Win8.1 need for Satellite L300-2CR display driver

    Hello Toshiba,

    You will develop a display driver for Windows 8.1 64 bits for all Toshiba Satellite models? I have a Satellite L300 - 2CR. The paradox is that when I installed the first time Win8, the display driver for Win 7 worked, now on the second format it no longer works.

    As much as I know old machines are not supported for Win8/Win8.1.
    Each new operating system brings also new standards for hardware so new notebooks offer newer hardware and hardware platforms.

    Development costs a lot of money and time. Then do a test and support. I can't imagine that the laptop manufacturers will make for some models of laptops designed for Vista. OS support for the LDP machines is very limited.

    Maybe it sounds silly now but for me there is no sense to use Win8.1 on this old piece of hardware. Win7 32 bit is, in my opinion, best solution for you.

  • Satellite L300 - cannot install Microsoft updates after replacing HARD drive

    I am repairing a Satellite L300, which had a dead HARD drive. I replaced death 160 GB of HDD with a 500 GB WD, then used the recovery disks to install Windows Vista SP1 at the exit of the State of the box.

    Now, Windows update does not work, won't install autonomous not of Vista SP2 I downloaded, MS Security Essentials moved there also.
    Then I borrowed a 160 GB of work and went through the same process and everything works fine.

    To make it work with a 160 GB HARD drive, but not a 500 GB HARD drive. Why?

    > ... Standalone Vista SP2 I downloaded will not be installed
    Usually after installing recovery image, you have just to connect laptop to internet and after a short period of time, you will get messages about available Windows updates. Just install the offered updates process automatic Waterer and install important updates only.

    Let the system to install all the updates and don t force the installation of some own downloaded stuff.
    Last month I've updated HARD drive (320 GB I think) and installed Win7 on friends L300 and I didn't noticed any problem here.

  • Satellite L300 - upgrade from Vista Home Basic to Home Premium issues

    Hi all

    I recently got a Satellite L300 with a basic family OEM of Vista Edition version.
    I have a copy of Windows Vista: drive home edition Premium (upgrade) and decided to use it on the laptop.

    I put the disc in and followed the steps but the upgrade option is removed... It is if I use the product key provided with the disc or not.
    The laptop comes with Service Pack 1 is already installed and the drive I have is released in stores before Service Pack 1.

    My main question is really how can I get my drive to upgrade my version of Vista. I tried the Google search, this Web site, Microsoft Web site and I get the same answer.

    Basically, go into options and upgrade Express. They're all for me to buy from Microsoft that would be kinda useless as I already have a copy.
    I read something to a site that said my drive would have to have service pack disk and I've seen a site with some sort of disk editing program for Vista but I am not too keen to use it and the 'how' was not very easy to understand.

    Also, I am not too keen on appellant Toshiba or Microsoft on surcharge numbers to get something, I already bought and paid for and should be as simple as a few steps.

    Anyway hope someone can help as I really want to upgrade.

    Hello

    I understand and it is really annoying, but what to do now? the fact is that Toshiba has offered this book with some version of Vista. This version should be updated to better Microsoft security and the most recent available. Because of this Toshiba supply with the last option of SP1.

    So now, you try to install proposed update it there long and probably offered before SP1 was on the market. I understand your point of view but, in my opinion, has nothing to do with Toshiba now, and you should try to find the solution with Microsoft. For example you can also get info from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930733

    Clean Vista Home Premium can be installed without any problem. All the drivers, tools, and utilities are downloadable on Toshiba support & download page.

  • Satellite L300 - MSKLC1.4 keyboard layout creator does not work properly

    Hello

    I installed the MS MSKLC 1.4 tool. on Toshiba Satellite L300 and Vista32. This tool is to generate a clean keyboard layout.

    I wanted to implement Gujarati signs for a friend. To do this, we put signs and letters on three 'levels' in this keyboard layout:

    1 Standart "a, b".
    2. pass the speeds as "A B"
    3 Altgr + key

    The first two levels with letters not run very well, but the last of them.

    We have tested in Open Office 3.1 and MS Works Word. The two programs do not accept Altgr + key letter.
    Open Office has no special function keys altgr +.

    In an editor that comes with MSKLC 1.4, level 3 also works very well. NO problem here!

    How this can happen? What should I do?

    Jens

    MSKLC 1.4. is available:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8be579aa-780D-4253-9e0a-e17e51db2223&displaylang=en#overview

    > On a German-Toshiba A50 with XP.
    > THREE States appear Gujarati letters.

    To be honest I never tried to MSKLC1.4 keyboard layout creator but I n t think that it s a question of Toshiba.
    I think that it s related to the UK keyboard layout because he of working with available German (as you suggested).

    My personal suggestion could change the layout of the UK keyboard for the German language in Control Panel-> regional options & language control

    Hi mate

    I know that you would not be able to install Win XP without previous installation of the SATA driver.
    Another option might be changing the SATA mode in the BIOS
    Go to BIOS and change SATA AHCI compatible mode mode.
    Save the changes, and then try again to install Win XP.

    PS: it s recommended using a Win XP with at least SP2 or SP3 disk
