Portege R600 memory to operate only at 667 MHz?

Hi all

Memory of my R600-10 q is PC6400 800 MHz but it only runs at speed PC5300 / 667 Mhz.
He has been in for repair with Toshiba for that matter, but he returned unrepaired with the explanation that the memory at 800 MHz in the R600 is only meant to run at 667 MHz.

That don't make sense!
Why Toshiba would install PC6400 memory in their machines only to the downclock to 667 MHz?

Can someone please confirm if their R600 only works at 667 MHz?

> Is my R600-10 q memory PC6400 800 MHz but it only runs at speed PC5300 / 667 Mhz.
What is the bus (FSB) front-end?

You should know that the memory would be valid only at the same speed as the FSB.
For example; memory are 800 Mhz but the FSB 667 Mhz
In this case, the FSB would clock down from memory at 667 Mhz

That s all

  • Re: Satellite Pro L300D - 11O 800 MHz RAM installed, only to 667 MHz

    I recently bought a Satellite Pro L300D-11O, which has a single stick of 1 GB 800 MHz RAM installed. However this RAM work only at 667 MHz. I checked this in Linux and Windows Vista.

    The laptop is announced as to have 800 MHz RAM on this page:

    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook ie = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055796

    The manual of the user who wrote:

    "PC2-6400 memory module works as PC2-5300 speed the GL40 Express Chipset Express chipset/GL965"

    I don't know what chipset I have, and it would be surprised that this would be the case that the above Web site explicitly states RAM 800 MHz.

    Can someone tell me please?

    Hello!

    Now I'm a bit confused of Mr. I think you did search in the wrong user's manual because the Satellite L300D has no Intel chipset.
    On the Toshiba site, you can download the manual for Satellite L300D:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online downloads support & -online download user manual

    I think that your chipset only supports 667 MHz. normally the RAM always works on the highest speed that is supported by the chipset.
    Check the specifications with Everest or PC Wizard 2008.

  • Upgrade memory for Satellite U200: are supported with 667 mhz modules?

    I am a new user and I'm on a Toshiba Sat U-200-115. I want to upgrade, and I intend to do an upgrade to 4 GB.

    What I want to know, although it said this laptop supports the upgrade to 4 Gig, but this model use a DDR2 533 MHz memory. Considering that since the Web from Toshiba site, I see only 1 slot memory of Gig available with this clock speed and a 2 Gig DDR2 available with clock speed of 667 MHz. What I want to know, if I want to upgrade to 4 GB memory with clock speed more high clock (667 instead of, 533) would work on this machine?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It depends on the chipset of your Satellite U200-115.

    If chipset supports 4 GB of memory and BIOS and Vista supports 4 GB of memory too, then you can go use the full 4 GB of RAM.
    If the FSB takes care also of 667 Mhz then modules of memory would also go wit full 667 Mhz speed.
    If the chipset supports only 533 Mhz then the chipset would slow the 667 Mhz module and memory would go only to 533 Mhz.

    So what you have to do is check what chipset is equipped in the U200-115.
    Full details and specifications of chipset you can find on the page of Intel.

    But generally, there is no big difference between the modules of 533 Mhz and 667 Mhz modules 667 Mhz turns a little faster but you won't see everything boosts performance

  • Satellite A100 - is compatible Ram 667 Mhz module

    My question is if the memory module PA3512S-1M1G (bus 667 MHz) will be fully compatible with my A100-906 and won't have any problematic cooperation with my 1 GB ram PA3511U-1M1G (bus 533 MHz) base.

    Toshiba site shows that PA3512S-1M1G is not compatible with A100s, while most of the sites of memory insist it is.

    Can someone elucidate me with knowledge?

    Thank you

    Generally you can use also the 667 Mhz modules in the laptop A100.
    But the fact is that if the FSB is that only 533 Mhz then your 667 Mhz module will only work at 553 Mhz.

    In my view, that modules should not be discarded then, either you use both 553 Mhz or 667 Mhz. But I advise to use the 553 Mhz due to the FSB value.

  • Satellite U400-138: RAM works with 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz

    Hello

    I have Satellite U400-138 with 3 GB of RAM (2 + 1 GB sodimm modules)
    I have new kit 2x2gb sodimm-s Corsair PC6400(800MHz)

    When I install new modules, system reported that they are working on 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz,
    Maybe that's the problem BIOS chipset because that support this frequency.

    Help me, what to do, to run new modules on 800 MHz?

    Hey Buddy

    I doubt that it is a BIOS problem.
    The point is that the speed of the RAM can be lowered and locked by the FSB (front side bus)
    If the FSB supports only 667 Mhz then your RAM 800 Mhz will run only at 667 Mhz

  • 10 windows on Portege R600 - my experience

    The Toshiba Portégé R600 is an older laptop which is official supported by Toshiba for Windows Vista, XP (downgrade), and Windows 7. But it appears to perform reasonably well 10 64-bit Windows. There's a thing I have with build Windows 10 Insider Preview 10074. She stops booting, with circular points from their round forever. (bootlog mode will show the reason)

    What you do is boot in safe mode. Disabled the second entry for the graphic card in Device Manager. Windows starts normally. I hope that I can get with Microsoft to fix this stupid bug.

    I don't know how this will affect build upgrades in the future.

    Other things of maintenance:

    The thermal grease for the graphics card becomes a heat insulating powder useless over time. This will appear as a graphical corruption on the screen, short lines that will show the strange colors. If you open the laptop (Tip: bin for the screws), slide it gently open and cables sheet, there is a yellow sink on the back side. The white heat pinkish dough will collapse right away. For the moment, I redid with a Coolermaster thermal grease, but I think this will give the same problem later. Maybe I'll get myself some K5 - Pro, as this seems to be a silicone rubber which is more sticky without being a glue. And it should be replaced the torn thermal pad on the CPU too. Although a shim copper could work there too.

    Notice of Windows troubleshooting will tell you there are drivers available, with links to download and install them manually. Do not use them, because they are Windows Vista drivers. It won't destroy anything, but they have some quirks. Simply download drivers 64 bit of Windows 7 on the Toshiba site.

    It can accommodate 4 GB of RAM, bringing the total up to 5 GB. It can take memory is either labelled PC2 800 MHz or DDR2 6400.

    A Corsair SSD BX100 works very well in it. But the disk controller is only SATA 2.0, so you will get half the speeds you will see benchmarked elsewhere. Don't forget device initiated Power Management (DIPM) enabled, as the BX100 falling to 250mAh to ~ 50mAh in this mode.

    'VAT package' for Windows 8 64 bit for the Toshiba R700 will bring back most of the hotkey features. Unfortunately, this breaks the brightness control buttons, but you can adjust the brightness elsewhere. With this driver package, the pure Transflective mode works again.

    Someone put up a "feature pack" for graphics drivers, which brings superior versions of OpenGL that have been supported by Intel on Windows 7 driver and earlier versions. And it installs the program in the task bar that allows you to control the graphics settings. That said, those that have been deleted for some reason (e.g. bugs), YMMV Yes. The video acceleration of h.264/AVC, through DXVA works even without this "feature pack".

    I have not found an ALPS touchpad driver who survives on standby. Without the driver for the touchpad, it is just a touch pad without scrolling on the right side area. It works, but it would be nice to be able to scroll.

    If you think your system is very slow, maybe check the BIOS [ESC then F1] on the second page [Fn + SHIFT + 9] if everything is set for maximum performance. The lower settings are there for the older operating systems that have no power which is own management (BACK). It will put the CPU in gas mode where it's the departure 50% of the time.

    The battery life is of the order of the 4h30m with a new battery, according to 'powercfg /batteryreport '. Mine is a little older and will hit 4 hours. Something like 5 in the save mode [Fn + F2] Toshiba power.

    Thank you very much for your report detailed on Win10 on Portege R60.

  • Portege R600 - detected SD cards but cannot navigate or format

    Hello

    I have problem on my Portege R600-10U (Windows 7 Ultimate) with SD card reader. When I put the SD card into the slot it is detected by the system, but I can't the eyebrows he or I can do format.

    I did the installation of RICOH_Media_Driver_v2.07.01.00 on the Toshiba support site, but when I check pilot for SD card reader is show a generic driver by default Microsoft.

    Also I don't know if it's important, but I can see player sd on the list of devices only when I put the card in the card reader.

    I even tried to do a manual installation of the driver by selecting the extracted content of CRAC - 20091103162555.zip (RICOH_Media_Driver_v2.07.01.00 folder), but windows didn't find the INFs appropriate in it.

    Me missing something, is there a prerequisite not before installing the card reader driver or card reader perhaps it self does not work properly.

    Many thanks in advance,
    Igor

    > Card he is okay since I use it in my camera
    This could be the problem

    I think that you can access this SDHC card if you should first format!
    There should be a preinstalled tool called SD memory card format.
    Format the SDHC card first, and then try again.

    PS: The card reader must manage SD up to 2 GB card and SDHC up to 16 GB cards

  • Portege R600-13Z - Toshiba utility SMS - slow / stop when the SIM is in!

    Hello

    Portege R600-13Z running XP Pro.

    Recently updated the firmware and the Wireless Manager to try to get 3g / GPRS comms to work at all. Updated worked a treat and have now great comms.

    > took out the SIM card to use the phone to send a few texts and with the card SIM SMS utility works great
    If you noticed delays in using DMD utility only with the inserted SIM card?

    Hmm I m not very well why this happens, but I know it s not recommended to insert the SIM card if the system is already running.
    You must shut down the laptop, must insert the SIM card and then you should power the device in place.
    Then you could test this once more.

    Hello

    Have you checked the BIOS for the SATA mode option settings?

    Some BIOS supports a SATA mode: AHCI and compatible.
    In case you want to use the SATA performance, you must use the AHCI parameter.

    AFAIK the external eSATA port supports the 300 MB/s and in the BIOS must be set to serial ATA (default) port4.

    The interface of the host load max 300 MB/s but sustained data read would be max 100 MB/s and 40 MB/s max sustained data write

  • Portege R600 - do I need for Windows 7?

    Hey there. I have a Toshiba Portege R600, my first laptop, and I'm in love.

    I'm angry against Vista Business, but also, I get angry to Windows XP. I would like to give a whirl to Windows 7 since I heard good things about her.
    I now burn a recovery disk as I type. What else do I need? On the desktop, there is a folder called "Applications and drivers TOSHIBA" so I guess I have to save those on a USB and load them onto Windows 7. What if drivers? There is so much and I don't want too many applications, the cluster disk.

    Tips for a first time the laptop computer user?

    > Windows 7 a whirlwind since I heard good things about her.
    I've never heard of Windows 7 good things still
    I think you forget that Windows 7 is only at the stage of beta or as far as I know already a Release Candidate but it s not a final version. So that means it may have a few problems and the pilot in charge is not as good as on Vista or XP.

    However, if you need the Windows 7 drivers you must search on external Web sites for pilots, but sometimes the drivers for Vista also works on Windows 7.
    Check it!

  • Portege R600 - 13 X - how to reinstall the operating system on the new HARD drive?

    Hello

    I inherited a Portege R600 - 13 X of my colleague, who hit and killed the hard drive. I installed a new hard drive, but you don't have operating system installation diskettes as he said that the computer has not come with any. To make things even more difficult, I believe that the optical drive may not work. My old R500 had a dead optical drive and after I replaced it (he has not yet worked) I was told it is perhaps something to do with the ribbon cable, which piggy back off the coast of the SD card reader, then to the motherboard.

    Anyway, is it possible for me to install Win 7 Professional (I have the original windows key) from a USB flash drive? Or y at - it a specific OS recovery/reinstallation disk that I can download Toshiba?

    Any advice would be very welcome
    Thank you
    NJ

    I have a Portege R600, and he has been a formidable workaholic, although now showing its age with newer software.

    I think these machines came with pre-installed Vista and your friend must have created a set of recovery discs when they got off the machine.

    Toshiba did release a drive to upgrade when Windows 7 is released which was available to the buyer within the free upgrade period you. You may be able to find a disk, but you will need the Win7 license to go with it.

    If not, your only option is likely to be to buy a disk and license. Of course, you can find the specific Toshiba drivers are missing. If you think about it, it's extremely unlikely that you will be able to locate what is essentially a free Windows 7 download install disc.

    Without an optical drive, you need to use an external USB drive and the BIOS to boot from that first force.

    I hope that you have succeeded.

  • Portege R600-10 q keeps freezing after a short period of use

    Hi I have a Portege R600-10, q,

    It keeps freezing after a short period of use - although if I leave it for a few minutes, sometimes it can be useful.
    If it is turned on for long enough, it will display a blank screen and the fans will turn on very hard.

    I cleaned ports ventilation and re-glued the CPU, and it did not make a difference.

    I ran HDD and memory (mhdd/memtest) diagnostics, and they have all done.

    I reinstalled Windows (from the OEM disc) and I still see the same question.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Have you noticed that when running special software or apps?

    I can tell you that a memtest does not always provide a good result
    Even if the memtest said there is no problem with memory, RAM modules could malfunction

    Otherwise, it may be a motherboard problem, but this is just speculation

  • Satellite L20-101: I think as 667 Mhz module runs only with 266 Mhz

    Hello

    I bought 2 x 1024Mo DDR2-RAM for my L20-101.
    First I tried 533 MHz, but the laptop does not work with them, so I bought the
    Version of 667 MHz.
    CPU - Z says that the FSB:DRAM - ratio is 1:2 If the two are in fact run with just 266 MHz.

    I've updated the BIOS with the latest version of the Toshiba-home page, but nothing has changed.

    So finally, my questions:
    1 perhaps CPU - Z is false (I don't think so...), are there any other good programms to check the parameters of memory?

    2. If the values in the program are correct: where can I change the value of the report? Is it possible to see more than a few settings in the BIOS or is it a rider?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    First of all it is important to mention that the Satellite L20-101 supports a FSB of 533 MHz.
    So the DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25) and DDR2 400/533 memory modules 512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51) should work and are 100% compatible!

    If you use the module of 667 Mhz, it runs only at 533 Mhz due to the limitation of the front side bus.

    In addition, I think you have misunderstood something.
    Here are the modules DD2 and so the CPU - Z recognizes the speed of the modules as 266 MHz (2 x 266 = 532 Mhz)
    If everything seems to be ok!

    PS; You can also use the other tool called Everest home edition. It s a freeware and very useful to run a diagnosis system and equipment
