Satellite 1800-400, what CPU?

Hey people,

Just got me a second hand 1800-400, but it is a bit slow. I have stopped more RAM (256) to go with the 128 that is already. I hope this will help.
But I was thinking, what other/faster CPU can this small handful of the machine? I can get a P3 1 GHz cpu on ebay cheap but it the system to run it?

See you soon
SYM

Hello

I looked at some other Satellite 1800 models specifications and discovered that they use different processors. Most of them use Celeron 1.0 GHz and 1.1 GHz, I also found a model with P3 1.0GHz (1800-804). But I think it's using a different chipset, so I don't know if you can use a P3.
Besides I don't think that a little better CPU will increase the performance so much. Upgrading RAM is more effective.

Good bye

    First of all what does this mean?
    I had a very small Satellite 1800-400 with me running. I was convinced that it was full of viruses so wanted to start all over again with the recovery disk. All I got was this error.
    In addition, it is said software being installed, please wait and a 0-100% bar. (nothing happens)
    Being a novice surf autour, I picked up a new BIOS @ this site. After the install was not successful so I used the command chgbiosa on the a:\, this gave me a command prompt to enter the biosfile in and I have upgraded to version 2.2 (I really thought he could help silly)

  • Satellite 1800-400: cannot run/install applications after installing XP

    I bought a Satellite 1800-400 for my daughter for her school work, formatted, installed XP pro, and when I tried to install the software for a wireless card (3Com) for internet access, he said only: "the application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    So I tried another card (Belkin) software it says "D:\ is not a valid Win32 application". So I tried to install the printer software and he says: 'the entry point of procedure not found in KERNEL32.dll dynamic link library.

    So I thought I'd try XP Home, exactly the same, Win 98 and WinME function without problem.
    I have also flashed the Bios, but it made no difference.

    Someone at - it ideas

  • Satellite 1800-400 ME upgrade to XP Pro?

    All successful one satisfactory to a Satellite 1800 400 upgrade or similar (384 MB of RAM, 20 GB HD, 800 MHz Celeron) of Win ME?

    Would prefer to upgrade to XP Pro, but pure install 2nd choice.

    If I have the HD format for a clean install, an updated XP version would recognize the recovery CD Toshiba a legitimate copy of the ME - I've heard that there may be problems?

    I have the intention to upgrade the BIOS and collect all the drivers available for this model proposed by Toshiba for XP, but will there still be problems with all the material?

    Toshiba drivers must be loaded in a special order, and that is during or after installing XP?

    XP is likely to be faster or more slow/about the same thing as ME, with above hardware specifications?

    All advice welcome, because I have not upgraded the OS on a laptop before, and the potential problems seem more important than with desktop computers.

    Hello

    I put t not see why Windows XP Home edition should not be working on your device correctly. On this forum I have read many topics where users present on Windows XP Home edition on the old models as yours.

    Please see the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp and you will find drivers for Windows XP Home edition.

    After installing WXP install display and sound driver first. Then install other drivers of material. The next step is installation of Toshiba stuff:
    Common modules
    Controls
    Energy-saving
    Public services.

    It is important to install common modules like the first.

  • How to connect by Satellite 1800 400 on TV?

    Hello
    I want to connect to my Toshiba Satellite 1800/400 on my TV, but I don't know how to install a secondary graphics card. My graficscard is a Trident Cyberblade Ai1 video accelerator.
    Please help because I get hopeless and frustrated because I need for school

    Hello Kevin

    As far as I know you don t need to install a secondary graphics card. The laptop got the output video output jack to transfer NTSC or PAL data to external devices (TV).
    If you want to activate the TV-out function, please go to display properties, and then click Advanced. Now click the device tab to display.

    There you can set the parameters on television and in the multi-screen TV/LCD devices section. Don t forget the TV Standard (PAL or NTSC).
    However, with the FN + F5 key combination, you can choose between the LCD and TV.

    Hello

    I have a satellite 1800-400. The cd present in Device Manager, but it does not recognize the cd is in the drive. I need to use the recovery cdsas the system was damaged virus etc. Is there a way I can work around the problem of cd player.

    Thank you

    Hugues.

    Hi Hugh,.

    When you try to start the laptop from the CD made in fact tru to access the CD-ROM or it directly boot from HARD drive?

    If the notebook is actually an attempt to boot from the CD but do not then it can mean that you CD-ROM is defective or that the recovery disc itself is damaged in some way.

  • Satellite 1800-400: How do I install the driver for graphics card

    Hello

    As I mentioned in the topic I downloaded a graphics card driver
    http://be.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com
    for my Satelitte 1800-400.

    The problem is that the Once unzipped downloaded zip file does not contain a Readme with some information or an .exe file to install.

    I have no idea what to do with it, but I need the driver car-DVD playback is disappointing.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Well, if the folder doesn't contains all .exe files, then you should try another option.

    Go to Device Manager and select the graphics card. Then right click and choose the option install or update driver. Then choose the driver source.
    This procedure should work properly.

  • Satellite 1800-400: internal modem does not work with Ubuntu Linux?

    Hello

    I try to get the internal modem on my departure from 1800-400 of Satellite under Ubuntu Edgy. All other works out of the box except the modem software and I was wondering if one can be able to help with this.

    I have been on many Linux forums and followed a number of tutorials, but none have worked for me so far.

    Toshiba seems to say it should work, but not enough for me detailed instructions are!

    Hello.

    It seems that this laptop uses a Modem Chip Askey (Lucent)
    I see only one way to use this modem in Linux.
    You must look for the modem a pilot who takes in charge this chip and is designed for the installation of Linux.

    It s very difficult to find the right driver for Linux because there are a lot of different Linux distributions and not all drivers will work.

  • Satellite A200-1ZB: what CPU max can I use?

    Hello..

    I have Toshiba Satellite A200-1ZB model with processor Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2370 @ 1.73.
    I was wondering, what processor max speed is supported by this model? Anyone know? (without overheating of course ;)

    Specs. (HWiNFO32)
    Processor: Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2370 @ 1.73, FSB:533 MHz, L2: 1 MB
    CPU platform: Socket P Μpga478 (Micro-FC-PGA) / mBGA479 (Micro-BGA)
    Motherboard Chipset: Intel GM965 (Crestline-GM) + ICH8M
    Support FSB frequency: 800 MHz
    Memory: 2 x 1024 Samsung 667 MHz (PC5300)

    Upgrading CPU is always risky, and in my opinion, no one can tell if the laptop would have functions properly after these updates.
    Another problem may occur.
    First the BIOS of laptop computers could not handle the new processor or there may be a compatibility problem should be know that a CPU creates stronger more heat dissipation that could lead to overheating or unstable work.
    Last but note would less affect these updates and void your warranty!

    But if you want to know what CPU can be used and then check the properties of the chipset on the Intel page and you should find the information on compatible CPU s
