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.

    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.

  • 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

    Concerning

  • 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!

  • Satellite A100 - 003 PSAARE - Ram upgrade question

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-003 (PSAARE) Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit installed and 2 GB of RAM (1024 + 1024 DDR2 533 MHz).

    I want to improve my system with 2x2gb DDR2 667 MHz Ram.
    When I use 2x2gb Rams, my system recognizes them?
    Or he will recognize less than 4 GB?

    Is there a link between the ram and 32 bit OS?
    What are your suggestions?

    Thank you.

    > When I use 2x2gb Rams, my system recognizes them?
    > Or it will recognize less than 4 GB

    You use the 32-bit Windows System. This means that your Windows operating system can recognize 3.2 GB of RAM max. It's max possible RAM for 32-bit systems.

    But as far as I know that it takes in charge max 2 GB of RAM. Has been mentioned in the page manual user 22 and 33

    or

    2nd http://kingston.mironet.cz/2048mb-sodimm-ddr2-667mhz-cl5-kingston+dp71837/

    Thank you for your advice :)

    Hello

    If you have the choice between the 667 Mhz and 533 Mhz module.

    The fact is that both modules must be compatible, but speed supported depends on the bus front end (FSB)
    If the FSB is 533 Mhz so your 667 Mhz will ONLY work at 533 Mhz.

    Simply put, said that the FSB might slow the speed of the memory.
    Then you should check what FSB, supports your laptop.

    You could install a free tool like Everest Home edition to a diagnosis of the hardware.

    Hello!

    Are you sure that you have a 64-bit version of Windows XP?
    I ask this question because the Web from Toshiba website does no drivers for Windows XP 64-bit.

    If you really have a 64 bit OS make sure that you have installed all Service Packs and patches from Microsoft.

    And install a program such as Everest and watch this program shows the amount of RAM.

  • Is satellite A100-797 - compatible with Windows 7?

    Hi all

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-797 and want to upgrade to Windows 7, it will be available. When I run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it shows me a few errors that make the upgrade is not possible.

    The following devices are incompatible with Windows 7, the Upgrade Advisor:
    -ACPI Bluetooth
    -Bluetooth RFBUS
    -Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller

    If I understand correctly, after upgrading to Windows 7 Blueooth and the card reader will not work. I searched the net for updates of pilot, but did not find any.

    Can someone please tell me if there is a Windows 7 compatible driver available for these devices and if not, when they do? Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    Most computers mobile new generation are compatible with Windows 7.
    The hardware components are strong enough to get Win 7 smoothly.

    If you can install Windows 7, but the question is if Win 7 drivers for A100 will be published on the page of Toshiba.
    Maybe maybe not. We'll see
    If you won't find Win 7 drivers on the page then you will have to search for the drivers on different websites and will have to collect the drivers with your own hands

  • Satellite A200 - 14 d: 533 MHZ front bus 667 mhz RAM equipped?

    Hello!

    I have the following problem! I bought the Satellite A200 - 14 d and on the packaging and in the shop was written with 1 GB DDR2 667 mhz RAM.
    When it came time for the upgrade, I put Everest and CPU - Z to find out exactly what to buy.

    I was amazed when I saw that my FSB 533 MHZ. The strangest thing is that RAM is really at 667 mhz, but what for?
    Now I think that's not quite legal. When I bought this laptop, I thought that it is with 667 mhz and I never doubted because it is written on the box that this computer is with 667 mhz ram!

    Please give me some advice what do I do?
    Advanced thanks!

    > was amazed when I saw that my FSB 533 MHZ. The strangest thing is that RAM is really up to 667 MHz, but what for?

    Why is it strange to you.
    This is nothing unusual. Is that you can also use 667 MHz modules! But they will run at 533 MHz due to the speed of the FSB. As I see it s clear to you.
    Always it is that there are several A200 series and some of the Satellite A200 supports FSB 667 Mhz.
    But it seems that all mobile A200 were equipped with RAM 667 MHz modules and they are certainly better than 533 Mhz modules.

    Best regards

  • Satellite L305D-S5869: do RAM quick to announced 800 MHz only 667

    I don't know if anyone has come across, but I had a Satellite L305D - S5869 7-8 months, I bought it because it was a VERY rare laptop, at the time with 800 MHz DDR2. Well yesterday I bought a new Satellite, L305D-S5940, almost the same laptop, but I had for the same price so that I can sell my old one. It also announced ram 800 MHz in it. I even went to the counter after that I bought and asked if I could use a screwdriver to open it and check the ram, which was indeed pc6400.

    Well, I came home and set up the laptop and the first thing I noticed was that the laptop was 2.1 GHz, not 2.16 GHz as advertised, not a huge deal, but was a little upset and yest I know the cpu speed goes up and down by its use, 2.10 GHz is the max he's going. So, I went ahead and CPUz RAM and not only discovered that it was a 2.10 GHz cpu, but the ram was also running ONLY at 667 MHz.

    Now IM upset and decided that she was not worth keeping and that he would take back, but for the hell of it, I ran cpuz on my other laptop, and of course the ram only runs at 667 MHz in that one also! Even though I know that there are 800 MHz ram in it.

    It is nothing but false advertising of Toshiba, has anyone noticed cela or complained to toshiba on their outright lying and false advertising?

    Hello

    I agree with the s of Akuma and what he suggested.
    The fact is that the speed of the RAM may be limited by the chipset.
    Even you use fast RAM modules, these modules will not work with the best performance if the chipset does not support that speed.

    The same may happen if both modules would be supports of different speeds. If you want to use a 667 Mhz module, a module made of 800 Mhz, then the two would go only to 667 Mhz.

    These are the two reasons why the fastest modules would be much slower

  • Satellite A100-998 - support 2 GB RAM modules?

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade the memory of my laptop. The vehicle currently have 2x1GB modules in the expansion slots. The manual says it takes PC4200 200 pin memory, but does not specify if it will accept 2 GB sticks as this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/164911. It does not mention of the sticks of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB.

    However, I see no reason why he would not support the higher capacity, if I wanted to move to 4-GB memory total. Can someone confirm that this will work? Thank you!

    Andrew

    Hi André,.

    According to the specs on the page of Toshiba, Satellite A100-998 supports 2-GB memory modules. This means that you can install the 2 GB of memory in each memory slot for a maximum capacity of 4 GB.

    For example, I recommend high-quality Kingston modules. I always buy Kingston modules for upgrade and never had any problems.

  • Re: Satellite A200-1IZ - can I install RAM 800 MHz?

    I have a Satellite A200-1IZ and I want to change my orginal RAM memory 2 x 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 2x2gb 800 MHz DDR2. It will work properly with 800 MHz?
    Here's something on the processor and RAM:

    Intel Centrino Duo processor with Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor technology, card WLAN Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN and Intel PM965 Express chipset
    Clock speed: 2.0 GHz

    Standard system memory: 2 048 (1 024 + 1 024) MB
    maximum extension: 4 096 MB
    technology: DDR2 RAM (667 MHz)

    Hello!

    Theoretically, you can use the 800 MHz modules because they are compatible downgrade. This means that the RAM is also able to run at 667 MHz. as much as I know that the chipset supports only up to 667 MHz speed and you won't see a performance gain and you can also buy some RAM to 667 MHz.

    In any case, I have good experience with RAM Kingston. I use the modules of this factory always for the upgrade of my notebooks.
    Maybe this information is useful for you

  • Satellite A100 - adding RAM memory

    I need to add another 2 GB of ram, but I found it only with 667 Mhz, the question is I can it add ram 2 GB - 667 MHz for 1 GB - 533 MHZ existing ram.
    Kind regards

    You can do this, but the 2 GB 667 MHz module will only work at 533 Mhz.
    The slower module would lock the module more quickly and would allows the module to operate only at 533 MHz
