• Question about upgrading RAM on Satellite Pro A100

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE I want to upgrade. I currently have 1 GB of RAM in two 512 MB modules. I looked on Crucial.com and he says I need DDR2 PC2 4200 module (240 pin DIMM), but of course, they want to sell their own stuff that only comes in 1 GB modules.
  So, what is the maximum amount of RAM my computer can take? I would like to have more than 2 GB in order to make my page file smaller. Is 2 GB maximum I can put in?

  To be honest, I read several threads where people were not so happy with the RAMs from crucial. In my opinion, you should spend your laptop with 2 x 1 GB RAM. With 2 GB of RAM, your laptop will work fine and I'm sure you'll be happy with it.

  As recommendable modules, you must use either 1 GB (PA3411U-2M1G) or module recommended by Kingston.

• Upgrade SSD on Satellite Pro U200

  Hello!

  I have a laptop (Satellite Pro U200-PLUA1E-00X007HU of the v3.70 win7 32-bit bios), I want to upgrade with a series of Samsung 830 64 GB SSD. I read that the SSD need AHCI mode. My laptop supports AHCI mode? What can I change in the bios before installing the new storage?

  Thanks for the help!

  Robert

  Hello

  I see you're confused
  First, he must know that the laptop supports the SATA controller.
  This means that you must use hard drives SATA or SATA SSD.

  Second: AHCI means SATA some BIOS supports only a SATA mode, and you can switch between compatible (IDE) mode and AHCI (SATA) mode.

  If this switch is not available in the BIOS mode is always set to AHCI.

  However, to SSD drive question:
  I put t really no problem using an SSD.
  It must function as the SATA controller support

• Question about Vista performance on satellite Pro M70

  I was wondering if anyone knew a lot about the performance of vista. For example, if you run a game under vista it run worse than in Xp because the operating system uses more than the power of the computer?

  Hello

  For two weeks, I use Windows Vista on my Satellite Pro M70. The laptop is not Vista capable, but I am very satisfied. It works very well. I tried to install and play older games like Far Cry and IGI2. It works perfectly without any problems.

  The set comes with 512 MB of RAM. As I said it works well, but I think that it will work much better with more RAM. I think I'll buy another 1 GB module. With 1.5 GB of RAM, I believe that the unit will operate like a rocket. :)

  Which laptop model you have?

• Question about sound card on Satellite Pro L40

  Hello

  I use a program called Sibelius and recommended an ASIO compatible sound card.
  Can someone tell me if the sound in the satellite pro L40 series card is compatible ASIO?
  If not I can plug a card external sound which is compatible and if so how can I turn off the internal sound card.

  Thank you

  I really don't think not someone will be able to give you information about the ASIO compatibility, but I see no problem, that is if you want to use the external device. Card internal sound, you can disable it in Device Manager.

• Question about upgrading RAM on Satellite P100-423

  Hello

  can someone reassure me I'll buy the correct RAM and the best for my 2 Satellites. One is the P100-423.
  The other is Satellite Pro P100.

  (1) can I use modules of PC2 5300 DDR2 SO-DIMM 200 pin - 667 Mhz on both computers.
  I want to buy chips to 4 x 1 GB (all the same), so both will have 2 Gig ram PC.

  (2) I saw the bullets above with 533 Mhz, but told me I can use or 667 Mhz. Is this correct?
  667 Mhz would be faster and better is not it?

  (3) some chips are also designated PC2 - 4200 - instead of PC2-5300. Again, I can use either?

  (4) Finally, I always thought that it was better for if adapt to 2 memory chips to live the same size - that is why I want to use 2 x 1 GB chips.
  Yet, I was recommended to mount 1 x 1 and 1 x 2 GB in each pc.
  I know that IE a total of 4 GB is theoretical only 3.25 GB is possible.
  But asymmetric training will offer much greater performance on balance training 2 x 1 GB. ?

  Thank you very much for all the advice offered

  Robert

  With the help of RAM slower is possible. I have another laptop to work with the iso 4200 5300. It works ok.

  However, using the exact speed is better because it gives the best performance. Your system calendar is set on those memories.

  However slower modules, but more RAM still will give you better performance.

  3G seems to be the max for Vista-32. The imbalance is obviously not optimal, but I expect that the performance is better with 2 GB.

• Question about Firewire Port on Satellite Pro P200

  Can someone tell me if I can connect an audio interface (firewire) to the nearest port of the front on the left side of my P200?

  A friend told me that I would need a port like this: [http://www.hardware-one.com/reviews/Yamaha8824FXZ/images/FirewireSocket.jpg] Although the port of P200 is smaller: [http://pix.crutchfield.com/lifestyle/2001/l4PinFirewireJack.jpeg]

  The interface, I am considering buying this: [http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/page/shop/flypage/product_id/15527]

  Welcome advice,

  saibhir

  Hello

  I guess that the support of the Satellite Pro P200 4pol firewire (IEEE 1394) port.
  Your external audio device supports firewire 6pol ports.
  That's why you need a cable or an adapter which favour both standards firewire; 4pol and 6pol

  I think a cable like this should help you connect audio devices for satellite Pro P200

• Question about the partitions on satellite Pro L300-164

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 and it came with vista on the 1 74 GB partition and a data partition 73 GB but it has a folder called HARD drive recovery, but I want Vista to all of the 140 gb and have the recovery partition on a small partition of 4 GB for HARD drive recovery.

  Is this possible without mucking up the HARD drive recovery?

  No, is not possible, but that you can and should do is create recovery DVDs.
  After doing this, you can remove this folder and organize partition how you want it to be.
  Remember that you will lose the ability to install the operating system from the disk using F8 and repair my computer option.

  If a problem occurs, you can install Vista using this recovery DVDs.
  Please note: after installation of recovery, you will have the same structure divides again and all your saved data will be gone.

• Question about upgrading HDD on the Satellite M40X-184?

  I would like to ask if there is an option to insert a new hard drive in my toshiba. As much as I know that there is no official support for this?

  There is an access to the place where the disc is placed on the side of the laptop. S
  o that my question is
  1. is it possible to put a new drive (faster and longer)
  2. is it possible without losing the warranty
  3. what discs do you offer me

  Thanks Szczepaan

  It seems that the device must be capable of supporting hard drives 2.5 "up to 120 GB. Additional cell phone supports DMA synchronous Ultra100.
  You can use hard disks with a rotation of 4200 / 5400 RPM

  The question is...

  I want to upgrade my portable computer system memory 3 GB DDR2 (800 MHz) RAM to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 (1066 MHz), which is compatible or not?

  Respect,
  enteoana

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
  So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

  Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
  Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
  Type of module - SO-DIMM

  So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
  You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

  If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
  Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).

• Question about upgrading CPU for Satellite A30 104?

  Hello

  My Satellite A30 104 recently came at the end of its warranty and had to open the heatsink for cleaning, and seeing that the CPU was available, I wonder if there should be (likely) to upgrade.

  The processor is a Celeron 2.6 GHz (Northwood). I'm no more grunt, I would prefer a more low-power chip, while the cache L2 much bigger of a Pentium 4 is also desirable. I would be very grateful if someone could give advice if upgrades are likely available, and if so the chips would be appropriate? If I can give any more useful technical information, please ask.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Usually it s not advisable to upgrade the CPU on laptops, because no one can tell if the laptop runs correctly and stable after the upgrade.
  The heat and the temperature inside the laptop could be a serious problem.

  In any case, I think that the laptop supports an Intel 852GME chipset.
  http://www.Intel.com/products/chipsets/852GME/index.htm

  The Intel 852GME chipset is optimized for the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor, has a main bus at 533 MHz and up to 2 GB memory DDR 266/333/200 at high speed.

  But I'm not sure about m making it s 479 or 478

• Question about upgrading RAM on Satellite A200-1CR

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A200-1CR, PSAE0E-02G01TSK
  I have 2 GB of RAM
  I can install 4 GB of RAM (because I try 2x2Gb 800 MHz) and don t work.

  Do I only 667 MHz or my laptop supports only 2 GB?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Your laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB top only and for the upgrade you must use 667 MHz compatible modules.
  To correctly update I recommend 2 X 1 GB DDR2-667 with PA3512U-1M1G part number.
  Good bye

• Question about upgrade memory on Satellite 2140 (PS241C-2PW9XP)

  I want to improve my memory up to 1 GB and I have a stick of pc3200 533.
  I wonder if it would be ok or should I specifically pc2700?

  Thanks :)

  Hello

  You can try the stick, I think that the stick will be low clock of 200 Mhz frontsidebus (PC3200) to 166 Mhz (PC2700) and should run flawlessly.
  If you encounter errors with this stick, it would be useful to put some original toshiba RAM pc2700 inside.

  To quickly answer your question: Yes. :)

• Question about DVD drive on Satellite Pro A200 PSAE7

  Although the [Specification | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/jsp/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=131911] told my Sat - Pro A200 (PSAE7) comes with a drive DVD Toshiba, it is * NOT * installed in my machine. I tried to download what is called "dvdpl-20070807102909" (what is the program?) download from Toshiba site, but when I double-click on the "setup.exe" inside the application, Windows Vista says 'cannot install this application.

  I also watched inside the recovery disc that comes with the laptop, but nothing obvious to click to install the drive appears.

  Please what could someone help and tell me how to install this DVD player?

  It s a bit strange
  On the European driver Toshiba page, I could find the Toshiba DVD player software.
  It s version 1.10.06 DVD player
  So I assume it must be preinstalled on the Toshiba laptop.

  The restore CD that came with the laptop contains an image of Toshiba. This image should support Windows OS, all Toshiba driver, utility and software tools extra.
  Please insert the recovery CD into the CD/DVD drive and boot from this CD.

  This procedure will format the whole HARD drive and install the operating system again on the laptop.
  After a new installation, please check if the Toshiba DVD player is available!

• Question about upgrading CPU for Satellite L30-101

  Is it possible to upgrade my processor from a 1.44 to what higher?

  No, there is no way because:

  -It s too expensive
  -It s complicated Exchange when you´re no technician for laptop
  -you won´t win any show (especially when the performance vs price comparison)

  Instead update your RAM and your HARD drive since that these components are comp. evolutionary and better will give you better performance.
