Re: Satellite A100-163 - I low amount of RAM

Ive just upgraded from 1 GB RAM to 4 GB of RAM on my laptop.

I know that XP uses only 3.5 GB of RAM as max sound, but even im not seen that on memtest, I get around 3070 mb.
The max RAM spec can use the laptop's RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)
I've set to 4 GB of DDR2 667. The laptop it should reduce.

I have integrated graphics 128, there up to 256 MB HyperMemory. That would be the reason for the amount of RAM below?

Something that I find weird is that when I run dxdiag, it shows that graphic design has 512meg, ive no idea why he said that, when I run 3dmark05 stats he said meg 138

Can someone help me on this on? But im stumpted?
I have the latest drivers on the Tosh site, the only thing that seems a bit outdated is the graphics drivers, but I can't find anywhere that makes newer drivers for this laptop.

Ive read remapping of the RAM, but there is no option in the BIOS to do this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello!

Don t forget that a 32 bit OS cannot handle 4GB of RAM

Then maybe you should check this useful document from Toshiba:
http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

In my opinion, this link is very useful and it s a very good description on this subject.

Good bye

  • Satellite A100-163 low wireless signal

    I just bought a Satellite A100-163, and while wireless, it works to the full 54 members of Parliament he said that the signal is very weak. My old 2430 402, who is sitting beside her said the signal is very strong and I have recently set up a satellite Pro A100 Botc on the same desktop and who received a signal strong. The router, a Voyager 2100 is only 5 feet away. Any thoughts anyone

    Hello

    The WLan signal depends on many factors. But maybe we can solve your problem with changing some settings in the WLan card properties.
    Go to Device Manager and enter the properties of card Wlan (right click)
    You will find a power management tab. The power save option should be disabled.

    In addition, you can check another option in the properties. I think it should also be something such as a scope of the WiFi signal. Sorry, I can t remember the full name.

    However check it out.

  • Updated graphics for a Satellite A100-163

    Hello
    I was wondering if it is possible to improve the graphics in the Toshibe Satellite A100-163. In the specifications of this Web site, it says it is connected by the new card PCI Express x 16 bus, this means that it is infact a graphics card in my laptop at a later date, I would be able to upgrade?
    Thank you for your help,
    M_Taylor40

    Well, the unit was delivered with an ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1400 128 MB.
    But generally, it is not possible to update the graphics card on the laptop.
    The graphics on laptops are all just different such as a card in the desktop PC.

  • The screen on the Satellite A100-163 changed 180 degrees.

    The screen on my Satellite A100 - 163 has flipped 180 degrees. The cat sat on the keyboard, so I guess that a combination of keys it will sort! I tried ctrl-stift-r as suggested in a previous message, but nothing helped.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi Stephanie

    Please check the settings of graphics card. I put t know what graphics card your device but I noticed that the units with Intel graphics card have this office turn option and you can change it manually in the properties.

  • Satellite A100-163 - Win8 Ati Display Driver need

    Hi all!

    I can't find the display driver for windows 8 (last for Windows 7). I know that this laptop is old, but maybe its possible to get the same old driver supporting Windows 8?

    Windows 8 work perfect on Satellite A100 so much faster than XP. One problem in this driver.
    Maybe someone can make old driver capable of working on Windows 8?

    You are right. Laptop is too old and designed for Windows XP Home edition. Toshiba supports much more recent laptops than A100.

    I think you expect too much of this old piece of hardware. In my opinion, you should get Win7 32 bit working on it.

  • Satellite A100-163: audio problem after installing Win XP - SOLUTION

    Hello

    I reinstalled Windows XP on this laptop Toshiba A100-163 and had a little trouble, but the hardest thing was the audio, so I thought I'd post the solution in case anyone else is trying to do!

    The drivers supplied by the Toshiba support site did not work. After a bit of research, it seems that the audio drivers are supposed to be integrated into Windows: "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio". But I don't it would work.

    The solution was to install XP Service Pack 3!
    I didn't not use Windows update, but instead downloaded and installed the "Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT professionals and developers. Then, after a restart, the Hardware Wizard found is come and properly installed audio drivers.

    Hope this helps someone!

    Hello

    I recently bought a 1 GB SD card and tried to plug it into my A100-163 built-in 5-in-1 card reader. Nothing appears in my computer. I tried to go to the Device Manager and, under "drives" "Secure Digital Storage Device" with a bit of yellow! Select this option. I tried updating the driver Module SD, but whenever I do that the installer comes up with an error, basically saying he can find SD Secure Module.msi. He tries to find in a dark temp folder that involves me Installer is not extracted properly.

    Can someone help me read my SD card? Help, please!

    UPDATE: on the occasion of the strange, it appears in my computer as "Secure Digital Storage Device. When I double click on it, it says:

    Thank you.

    Hello Mike

    One thing confuses me. If the unit has the multi card reader factory settings must be configured correctly. You use your own installation of the OS?

    In any case, try to remove device from digital storage secure from Device Manager, then restart the device.

  • Satellite A100-014 can't module of RAM PC2-4200 or PC2-4300

    Hello guys and girls,

    I have two modules of RAM memory installed on my toshiba a100-014. They are the two PC2-4200. However, CPU - Z which is a small software that helps out to discover what are the specifications of the hardware on your computer, says I have two PC2-4300. Isn't it funny?

    Why you think that CPU - Z does not recognize the RAM modules I have installed? Moreover, the machine works perfectly!

    Hello

    This software is not for me. I use Everest professional. It s also a hardware diagnostic application.
    But you the modules of RAM. Satellite A100-014 has been delivered with a module of 1 GB DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G) and it s definitely a PC2-4300

  • Satellite A100-847 does support 667 MHz RAM

    The A100-PSAA9 (A100-847) supports the 667 MHz RAM? The FSB is 667 MHz, but the laptop comes with 533 MHz RAM and everywhere that I looked for upgrades of RAM I've seen 533 MHz for this model.

    memory Finder: http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=25716&ft=m&st=3

    Hello

    It should be able to use the Ram 667 MHz module, but the difference between the 533 MHz and 667 MHz is not noticeable.
    I think the 533 MHz module is great and you are on the good side, if you use the modules to recommend Toshiba.

  • Satellite A100-163 mobile backup with Bluetooth

    Hello

    I hope someone can help. WE try to get the phone to computer backup and we can't to the do talk to each other.

    I really have no knowledge on how to implement. I was wondering if someone could help it.

    In Manager devices, Modems, the GXmdm4_Bluetooth modem is disabled but the Toshiba Software is enabled. Don't know where to go from here.

    Any help would be appreciated gratefully.

    Thank you
    Judy

    Hello

    Are you sure that the Bluetooth module is installed on your laptop computer at 100%?
    I ask because I found some information on this unit in the net and it seems that this laptop has been delivered without Bluetooth.

    All laptops with Bluetooth must have a Bluetooth label at the bottom of the unit.
    Please check whether your device has such tag.

    PS: I think that the software can be installed because the A100 was delivered with a different hardware configuration. But the image was made for all cell phones - with and without the BT module.

  • Map satellite A100 - 163 ATI x 1400 - 128 or 256 MB?

    It is said in the specifications of its 128 MB more than 128 MB. How to do the extra 128 MB? Is it automatic or is it in the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    This device was shipped with a X 1600 and X 1400 graphics card.
    I know that the ATI mobility Radeon X 1400 supports 128MB and the X 1600 256 MB.
    I guess that the same manual was delivered for both units with a different hardware configuration.

  • Satellite A100-163 - blue screen when the PC is overloaded

    Hi guys!

    I bought my PC not so long ago and it's a machine woderful piece, BUT I have a question that I guess is with my RAM. Whenever my PC is overloaded (when I start a game + my winamp plays and I'm downloading stuff on the internet) I get a blue screen telling me that Windows is dumping some memory etc etc... He suggested to update my BIOS driver as a possible solution to the problem. I tried new drivers from this site, but there is no news yet.

    Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

    Concerning

    KOS

    Hello

    I don t think you will solve this problem by updating the BIOS. It is a new unit and there are more recent version of the BIOS installed.
    In my view, this problem occurs due to running applications. The most games need the full memory performance.
    In this case another application cannot use the full memory.

    In your case, I would check the memory sticks or / and to improve memory.

  • Satellite A100-250: A value of bad RAM

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba a100-250.
    In addition to the 512 MB ram module, I bought a 1 024 MB module to boost it up a little bit. They are running and DDR2 at 533 mhz. Now the problem is that my computer laptop doesn´t recognizes the two modules.

    I was just curious and exchanging modules and put them separately or together in different locations, but it doesn´t find 1 024 MB module if both are put in place or module 512 if I do not put one inside.
    I updated my bios 2.10 BU he doesn´t solve the problem. Can please help me because now I have a 512 MB module which is useless.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Are you sure you bought a 1 024 MB module at 100%?
    Because it sounds like the new module of memory has only 512 MB.

  • Satellite A100 - 847 PSAA9E - 4 GB of ram, but it reads only 3 GB Win 64 bit

    I have the laptop A100-847-PSAA9E-0R101QAR and I have 4 GB of ram installed on it.
    Yesterday, I installed Win7 64-bit system but when I check the properties of the computer, I see only:

    Installed memory (Ram): 4 GB (3.00 GB usable)
    System type: 64-bit Operating System

    What should I do to use my full 4 GB of ram?

    Hello

    To be abele to use 4 GB of RAM, three components of the laptop should support the 4 GB.

    -OS Win
    -Chipset
    -BIOS

    If one of these parts would not support 4 GB of RAM then you will not be able to get full access 4 GB.

    You use Win 64 bit that s ok so now only the chipset or BIOS can cause this problem
    Check the chipset and the Intel page research if the chipset is 4 GB of RAM capable.
    If the chipset would be 4 GB RAM capable then the question is releated to the BIOS.
