Issue of compatibility of memory for a Satellite 2450-201 s

I bought 512meg of Crucial PC2700 for my laptop. It came with 256meg PC2100. It is better to have just the superior assigned memory in it, or should I keep the bars of memory in it?

Thank you!

Hello

It s better not to mix memory modules. In particular, if you have two different manufacturers and two different schedules. Not good.
It is better to have two memory similar modules, due to compatibility issues.

Welcome them

    Can anyone help? I looked in the Bios and the advanced settings screen, and found nothing to increase the size of the video memory.
    Any other way to find on my Satellite 2450-201

    Hello

    As far as I know that the unit has been delivered with the NVidia GeForce4 420Go 32 MB graphics card. This isn't a memory sheared graphics card.
    The card supports the own memory and not a function of memory sheared.
    In this case, you cannot change the value of memory.

    Hello

    You can also install an original Microsoft Windows and then all of the necessary Toshiba drivers. Toshiba stuff you'll find on this site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

    If you have decided to use these drivers so please note that a proper installation order is necessary.
    First of all the Chipset utility, common modules, graphics driver, etc.

  • Satellite 2450-201: impossible to format SD card 4 GB card

    Hello

    IA´m an owner of Satellite 2450-201 and I have a big problem.
    I just bought a 4 GB SD memory card and Nice, it adapts to the side slot on my laptop.

    This is the first time using the memory card, so a needs-to-format window appears when I try to access.

    The window has the right information: 3.78 GB, Fat32,...

    I click 'OK' and informs the Windows (XP SP2): impossible to complete format (here is Portuguese, then it is translated into English)

    If the correct size is informed, 3.78 GB, why windows can't format it?

    My laptop is virus and spyware free (only 23 spots in the running and supervision), I have SP2, Bios (most recent) 1.50, SD my controller drivers is up to date (the last and the only one that was released in 2003).

    Also tried third party "Panasonic SDFormatter 2.0". He reports the (physical) unit or the mem SD stick is not compatible with the program. And the same effect occurs: the Sd device lost the nice icon and I need to remove/insert the SD card to see again the same story.

    Help me please, friends.

    Hello

    It of very strange that you re possible to see the plugin SD card. Some people suggested that this SD card supports only 256MB, 512 MB cards and more with no MMC support.

    I put t know if you have a format utility Toshiba SD card installed on the laptop, but on many notebooks of utility such Tosh is preinstalled and could be used for formatting of the card.

    According to some poster in this forum the Portege M400 utility format could handle 2 GB, but not sure about 4 GB SD cards.
    If possible, you can try to install this utility on your laptop, but you know you don't have much chance that it works.

    I think that in this case only an external SD card reader will help you.

  • Satellite 2450-201: USB 1.1 instead of 2.0 controller

    I formatted the hard drive on my Satellite 2450-201 and loaded Windows XP SP2. I loaded all the drivers from the disk utilities and everything works well except the USB ports work only in 1.1 instead of 2. There is a yellow exclamation point in device on USB controller Manager. I tried a Toshiba download driver but there is nothing available.
    Can someone suggest a soloution to this problem.

    John

    Hi John

    As far as I know that there is no driver for USB controller. When you install the chipset driver all USB ports should be recognized correctly. Exclamation mark in Device Manager is an indication that the device is not configured correctly. Try to remove the controller and reboot the device. After this check again in Device Manager.

    Some external device is connected to the unit by USB ports?

    Hello

    I think you should get in touch with a local ASP (partner).
    The ASP can help you order the right parts.

    Because this laptop is an oldie, I doubt that you get these pieces from an online retailer
    However, google may provide you with some offers if you are looking for unique part numbers

    In any case, all the possible parts could be ordered in service partner as I said above, for me, it looks like an easier way to get these parts.

    What CPU will be compatible? Pentium 4 3.6 GHZ maybe because there is P4.
    Will this work?

    Hello

    To my knowledge the Satellite 2450 series was delivered with an Intel Desktop Pentium 4 processor.
    The desktop Intel Pentium 4 CPU with Intel SpeedStep® technology and processors to run at one of the following speeds:

    2.26GHz / bus speed: 533 MHz
    2.4 GHz / 533 MHz
    2.53 GHz / 533 MHz
    2.66 GHz / 533 MHz
    2.8 GHz / 533 MHz

    Additional info:
    The processor incorporates a 12 KB of L1 cache and 512KB L2 cache memory memory.

    But as far as I knwn Toshiba does not support updates. You have no guarantee that it will work properly

    THE WINDOWS BAR GOING ALONG AT LEAST 15 - 20 TIMES TO HELP START!

    Hello

    Maybe you've connected to some external devices to slow down the start-up procedure. You can also try to disable all the hardware components you n t need (modem. IrDA). Also check out which device is defined in a first start time (I hope that the HARD drive).

    For slow closing is responsible only running processes that should be forced disconnected. It all depends on your own configuration and you are using external devices.

  • How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on the Satellite 2450-201?

    How to upgrade my 256 MB RAM on my Toshiba Satellite 2450 201? Where is the RAM located on it?

    AFAIK, you can upgrade to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) memory
    You use PC2100 DDR - RAM memory modules.
    The memory must be located under the keyboard. Remove the keyboard, to first remove the thin cover above the keyboard and remove the 2 screws that are placed under the thin cover.

    But if you don't have any experience you shouldn't t do. In this case, contact the service in your country

  • Question about DVD watching on Satellite 2450-201

    Hi, I have a satellite 2450-201.
    and I'm sure that when I had it first I could watch DVDs, s without having to start, only now, when I try this the computer starts completely before it will play, now perhap it did this before but I didn't take so long to start, because there was not much on it to slow it down, what I want to know is : is it possible or just my imagination, if not how to reset it please.
    Thank you in antisipation
    Pete

    Hi Pete,.

    You don't say what operating system you have. To watch DVDs without having to start you would need to have Windows installed MCE. He would use a small area of your hard drive to store the necessary software to allow you to play DVDs without having to start your main operating system.

    If you have XP (Home or Pro), then it is more likely that your startup process now takes longer than before so that you can start your DVD software. In this case check for unnecessary tasks or processes by using the Task Manager and I would also recommend spyware scanning, removing everything you find and run Defragmenter and disk cleanup.
