Satellite A100-294: what memory should I buy

I have (only) 512 MB of RAM and I need to upgrade. Should what memory I buy? What models, which could be found on the market, I could choose? And do I have to have the same memory, for example. 512 + 512 MB or 1 GB + 1 GB (or even the same producer?) for best performance, working properly, or something? [Please help me, I need to upgrade as soon as POSSIBLE and I could not afford any possible error:]

The laptop is Satellite A100-294
PSAA8E-02T02CPL

Hello

I hope that I will receive some reward you points because I think I can provide useful answers ;)
The laptop seems to be the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM fragmented into several modules.
You can use these modules from different manufacturers, but in my opinion it s better to buy a module of brand instead of module without name due to the better performance

This site provides a few compatible Kingston modules for Satellite A100-294
http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=24854&ft=m&St=3

You can also mix the modules; I mean, you could use 512 + 1024 or 1024 + 1024 or 512 + 512. All these options are possible

Best regards

  • Satellite A100-233 - what memory I need?

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A100-233 and I want to increase its memory. The question is, if my card MOM, can I put DDR2 memory with 667 MHZ speed or I use only 533 MHZ?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It according to your chipset you ;)

    If you want to just buy a second memory module, I'd be the same module as the first. So that you know its module is compatible with the laptop and normally two identical modules must be used in the book to avoid problems of incompatibility.

    But as far as I know A100-233 can handle up to 667 MHz modules. If the first module runs with 533 MHz, the second module will work also on 533 MHz. This means that the modules are compatible downgrade.

  • Satellite A100-294: cannot change the built-in RAM module?

    The integrated RAM (512 MB) of my Satellite module problems (based on memtest86) and the machine was freezing all the time. It is under warranty, so I got to the store I bought.

    They told me that they send the machine to Toshiba AC because it will probably be a new mainboard to correct the problem, since the DIMM is permanently attached to the Board and cannot be changed as all the regular module DIMM.

    Is this true? Is the 512 MB of RAM the machine is supplied with, physically inseparable from the motherboard?

    Hello

    As much as I know doses Satellite A100-294 does not in charge of the internal memory!
    The unit simply uses the memory DDR2-533 modules that are removable.
    The memory location is placed at the bottom of the unit and it s easy to reach.

    But maybe the head technicians would like to take a look at this motherboard and therefore the ASP had to send this book to the Toshiba headquarters

    I have a macbook pro 15 "model 9.1 4 GB of memory and want to extend to 8 which is the model of memory should I buy for my fastest machine, I have for several years.

    See:

    http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/upgrade/DDR3_160 0MHz_SDRAM

    Get only the memory of a place as above, since Macs are picky about the memory. Another place is crucial.

    If you can't swing for 16 GB (2 X 8 GB) replace a strip of 2 GB with a key of 8 GB.

  • What Macbook should I buy AutoCAD?

    Hello!

    I just want to ask, what macbook should I buy AutoCAD? I plan to buy the Macbook Air w / core i5 but I saw in some discussions that it is not recommended for autocad... is this true?

    BTW... I am a student in engineering, and I'll use it at school it's why I do not prefer the Macbook Pro because it's big, bulky and heavy. I want the Macbook Air because it's elegant, light and it fits into my bag. And also I need the cheapest possible that's why I prefer really the model of Air. (because I'm just a student and my savings from my job part-time is not big so my budget is tight and only around $ 400-600)

    I need it after this break.

    Thank you! Prospects for a helpful answer.

    I'm not familiar with the application, but I suggest that you contact the school and get recommendations from them for minimum requirements as well as the developer of the software.

    Ciao.

  • Satellite A100 - 386 compatibility memory PSAA9

    Hi all!

    I want to add some memory to my laptop and try a couple that works, but I get a few bugs because this seems to be related to the fact that I put pc5300 memory rather than pc4200 memory... The strange thing is that it works very well and only bugs when reading music and flash movies!

    No one knows with certainty what type of memory can use... What is the most important actxually, him CAPAS (533) or the pc4200... How do I know what memory I can buy and keep in mind that it will work, even if I throw the real one if there are compatibility problems?

    Thanks a lot for the tips!

    You can delete this post, I was going the wrong way... Sorry...

  • Satellite A100-811 - maximum memory capacity

    I have an old A100-811 Satellite with Windows XP SP3. It has 1 GB of memory (2 x 512). I want to improve the memory. What should I do?

    1. put another memory of 2 GB so the total is 2.5 GB (will I get in trouble for using two types of 512 MB and 2 GB memory?)

    2 put 2 x 1 GB total 2 GB (for better styling?)

    3. put 2 x 2 GB. But will I have the 4 GB memory full or only 3 GB because of the limitations of memory Win Xp?

    Do I need a BIOS update for this?

    Thanks in advance for any info!

    Hi skga100,

    The maximum capacity of RAM in Satellite A100-811 is 4 GB. This means that you can install 2 GB in each slot.

    Usually for Windows XP 2 GB is enough but I want to upgrade to Vista or Windows 7, you should think about 3 or 4 GB

    In your case, I would buy a 2GB memory module. If you are on the safe side.
    Why? If you want to install Vista or Windows 7 later, you can buy a second memory module and keep your 2 GB module. Who s the easiest way. :)

    And no, upgrading the BIOS is not necessary.

    I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
    I have a Satellite Pro M40 part number: PSM46E-00H002EN

    I really want to upgrade the memory, but I don't know what to do.
    I know I want two 1 GB ones but I do not know what kind.

    I looked and there seems to be so much of.

    Could someone tell me exactly what I want or give me a link to buy.

  • Satellite L10-226, what memory inside?

    Hello

    I am interested in buying a portable satellite L10-226, but it has only 256 MB of DDR Ram. For this reason I will update the Ram 512 MB DDR - Ram after buying. What memory does Toshiba use for this model (Timings/speed/producer)?
    If I get a 512 MB DDR - Ram inside and sell the original 256 MB Modul, is there any warranty issue, if the laptop has a defect or I am authorized to change memory by myself?

    Thanks for your help,

    Kind regards

    BoLzI

    Hello

    I can't find any specific details for the L10-226, but I found some information for the L10-224, which has two available RAM slots and uses 1 x 256 MB module or module 1 X 512 MB, leaving 1 spare slot.

    If you L10 - 226 has this configuration so your cheapest upgrade would be to add a second 256 MB module to the second slot giving you a total of 512 MB. The module for this is 200-pin PC2700 (333 Mhz) DDR SODIMMreference number PA3311U-1 M 25

    The module of 512 MB is PA3312U-1 M 51part number.

    The mnodules of RAM are components replaceable by the user so changing them will not affect your warranty at all. However, if your computer is then sevelops a fault with the modules of RAM, then you would not be able to get them has changed under warranty Toshiba, you must return yourself to the vendor from whom you got their.

  • Satellite A100-626 - maximum memory supported?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-626 with 2 GB of RAM.

    As indicated in the record of this model:
    standard: 1 024 (512 + 512) MB
    maximum extension: 4 096 MB
    technology: DDR2 RAM (533 MHz)
    expansion module sizes: 256, 512, 1 024 MB

    It is said that it can go up to 4 GB, but only shows module sizes up to 1 Gb. (maybe 2 GB modules did not exist at the time).
    Anyone know or tested if it is possible to install 2 2 GB modules or 1 module 4 GB to achieve the maximum of 4 GB extension?
    Also, it supports up to 800 MHz of frequency? If not, what is the maximum?
    And finally, DDR3 works on this model?

    Thanks in advance for the answers.

    Hello

    I found this Toshiba product page:
    [Satellite A100-626 | http://pt.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=PT&DISC_MODEL=0 & ACTION = PRINT_WITH_BACK & BV_UseBVCookie = Yes & PRODUCT _ID = 119571]

    It s a Portuguese Toshiba page because I believe that this model of laptop is designed for the Portuguese market.
    You will find information that it of possible to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB (2 x 2 GB RAM).

    But note; the 32-bit operating system will not be able to use the full 4 GB of RAM.
    Just the 6 bit OS can use and recognize all of the 4 GB

    > Also, is it supports up to 800 MHz of frequency?
    It depends on the chipset. If the chipset allows that the then the memory at 800 Mhz would go to 800 Mhz otherwise they would be pointing down.

    > And finally, DDR3 works on this model?
    No, as much as I know just the DDR2 modules are supprted.
