Satellite A110-170 - upgrade to 3 or 4 GB

Hi all

I read many post about upgrading ram and have not found anything on the Satellite A110-170. Tell someone if it is possible to upgrade the computer to more than 2 GB?
It's strange, Toshiba sell computers that are supposed to support up to 4 GB (actually 3.5 GB) but it looks like fake?

If anyone knows something thanks in advance.

Chris

Hello!

Satellite A110-170 can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM.
You need RAM with DDR2-533 specification.

Good bye

  • Satellite A110-174 - RAM upgrade questions

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A110-174

    I want to buy a RAM module (it uses ddr2 ram, 533 MHz), but it seems impossible, in view of their.
    I can only find the frequencies of 800 or higher.

    I can use them or they give me problems / incompatibilities?

    Can I mount 1 module or to buy 2 modules?

    The motherboard will read up to 4 GB or need a Bios Update?

    Thank you

    Satellite A110-174 can be upgraded up to 4 GB of RAM.

    In order to use a feature of dual channel RAM, two modules must be used.
    This means module of RAM 2 GB in each slot.

    The 4 GB RAM limit is caused by Mobile Intel 945 GM Express chipset
    http://Ark.Intel.com/de/products/27857 as well as the Intel Core CPU T1350 http://ark.intel.com/de/products/27243
    The processor supports the 533 Mhz FSB (front side bus) and the RAM modules will run max at 533 Mhz.

    Thus, you should use the DDR2-533 modules

    But sometimes, you should be able to use the DDR2 - 667 Mhz modules. In this case the 667 Mhz speed module will be clocked at 533 Mhz

  • Upgrade RAM not recognized by satellite A110

    I use win7 on this computer because it is more stable.
    I upgraded my memory to 2048Mb yesterday, but the computer will not register more than one chip 1024Mb.

  • Upgrade memory satellite A110-103 - the Bios shows only 1 GB of RAM

    {color: #000000} Dear Forum Toshiba,

    I own a Toshiba Satellite A110-103 (PSABE6) bought in 2006 of the Belgium.
    I have trouble about an upgrade of RAM for this laptop. The laptop was originally a Samsung 512 MB of RAM.
    I tried to upgrade the RAM to its maximum capaity supported 2 GB.
    I bought and installed 2 Kingstone SODIMM 1 GB Value Ram DDR2 PC2 4300 units compatible with the laptop, but

    in the BIOS, I see only 1 GB of RAM.
    I tested each RAM separately and they work very well. The problem is that when I install in my

    locations of the laptop, my BIOS sees no Ram.Instead 2 GB 2 GB, it shows only 1 GB. I updated my BIOS for more later

    version 1.70 (for XP), but the laptop continues to show only 1 GB.

    I tested the RAM separately:
    -inserted only 1 stick in the drive and the pc started ok showing 1 GB of RAM
    -then I inserted the same stick in another location and it also worked well showing 1 GB of RAM
    - then I checked another unit of the RAM in the same way and worked well
    -When I try to put 1 GB of Ram and the old 512 MB RAm the BIOS correctly showed the new value of 1.5 GB
    -i also checked the other 1 GB of ram and the old 512 MB of ram and showed good again in the Bios with the value of 1.5 GB
    - but when I tried to put the 2 ram set units to obtain the BIOS only detected 1 GB 2 GB.

    Here's the description detailed 1 GB modules that I try to install:

    SLOT #1
    The module size: 1024
    Band Max bandwidth: PC2-4300(266Mhz)
    Manufacturer: Kingston
    Reference number: 9905293 - 0.14A00LF

    I think the problem is that the two s of RAM are not compatible, but it is not explained to me because use you two identical modules.

    In your case I return the RAM to the computer dealer and say the modules work together in your notebook, but your laptop definitely supports 2 GB of RAM.

    I think that there is no other way because you have updated your BIOS to the latest version.
    Here is the part number for RAM Toshiba compatible:
    1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

    1. I'm a Ram with Buss 533 512 MB DDR2, if I changed it to Buss 667 2 GB of Ram it downgrade to 533 buss works well & not cuz disorders & being stable in my laptop or not?

    2 - What is the maximum Ram sizes & bus which can my laptop deals with it?

    Please review quickly because I have problems in Rams upgrades thx

    Post edited by: lover of matrix

    Hello

    Say the user manual on the upgrade of RAM?
    In general this info is always mentioned in the user manuals

    But generally, must be knowing that RAM upgrade depends on the chipset.
    The FSB (front side bus) chipset is important for the speed of the RAM.
    If the FSB supports only 533 Mhz then your RAM modules would go max with speed 533 Mhz and RAM modules support a faster speed; That is to say to 667 Mhz.

  • Satellite A110-153: RAM upgrade Question

    Hello

    I am the proud owner of a Toshiba Satellite A110-153 I've had for a few years.
    I am interested in the upgrade of RAM but stumbled upon this controversy.

    1 internal memory expansion module sizes are 256, 512, 1024 MB.
    2. maximum speed of the internal memory is 4 GB
    3. 2 memory slots.

    Now, I would like to upgrade my laptop to the maximum 4 GB of RAM, but how can I do that when I'm not allowed to use 2 x 2 GB modules?

    Is it humanly possible to upgrade my laptop to 4 GB?

    Thanks for the time.

    William.

    Hello

    If you want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB max you can use modules of 2 x 2 GB RAM!

    The laptop must manage the DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules

    But note; the 4 GB of RAM can be used by the 64 bit OS!
    Win XP or Vista 32 bit would recognize as 3.2 GB!

  • Satellite A110 Upgrade - Xpress 200 M problem, lost Toshiba Software

    I own Toshiba Satellite A110-110. After using this laptop for a period of two years with pre-installed system, CPU and RAM, I decided to update. So, I change Celeron M410 for a Core Duo T2450, 60 GB HDD for a HARD drive of 250 GB and 512 MB of RAM to 2 GB of RAM and Windows XP it for a Vista Enterprise.

    Installation of all parts and software went well. Then, I downloaded and installed the drivers for Vista. So what's the problem you could ask?

    An ATI Xpress 200 M, could get up to 256 MB of graphics RAM on Windows XP, now with Vista, this graphics card in the Panel displays only 128 MB (shared) memory got. Is there any option to change the settings and have the old 256 MB. Maybe someone knows the solution?

    As the second main problem after that the upgrade of my personal system is total lost all Toshiba Utilities like connectivity, Wireless LAN search doctor (transparent oval radar hide on the right side of the screen with other options), Panel of SRS WOW Sound and others who were in Office Setup.

    Vista does not appear all that I put in the system, some of them. If someone can help fix this problem and know where I can get this kind of software would you please give me a tip and write what kind of idea, you are able to share.
    Thanks for any help!
    Alex

    As already suggested Homer shared memory cannot be manually set to a higher value. Everything works automatically and the graphics driver control and assigns the amount of shared memory
    In addition, the shared memory value max depends on available main memory.
    The high value of the main memory, the upper value of the shared memory could be used on laptop computer A110.

  • Satellite A110-178 - updated from XP to Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A110-178 and I would improve my OS from Windows XP to Windows 7.
    I've never installed new drivers or a new BIOS on my laptop, so I guess that many of them are outdated.

    What's the smartest thing?
    Update drivers and/or BIOS before upgrading to Windows 7? Or install Windows 7 and install the necessary drivers later?

    In the event that the BIOS should be updated: as there is no BIOS update available for Windows 7, what version of BIOS is the right one to pick?

    Thanks for the info!

    Kind regards
    Oliver

    Hi Oliver,.

    First of all an upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 isn't possible of t. This means you need to do a new clean install and after that, you can install all drivers.

    An upgrade to Windows 7 is possible in Vista but not XP.

    The update of the BIOS is normally not necessary. This update should be carried out only if it of really necessary.

  • Satellite A110-103 - 2 GB RAM - gaming performance optimization - SOLUTION

    Hello

    For those of you who have 2 GB of RAM installed on the laptop and want to play games like f.e.a.r.2 PROJECT ORIGIN, it's performance that I have tested on my Toshiba Satellite A110-103!

    If you want to add 2 GB of RAM or more to your laptop please read [this post and my experience with upgrades RAM | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=153005#153005]! It could help you save money!

    Before you install the 2 GB of RAM, I used to have a paging file 4096 defined in Windows for drive C.
    After that I installed the 2 GB of RAM, I wanted to play f.e.a.r.2 Project Origin on low heat.
    However, the game played horrible with low display rate. So I wanted to know if there is a way to disable virtual memory (swap file) and only use real RAM.

    Most of the discussions about the paging files disabling said it there is no way or point by doing this!
    Well, I decided to give it a try!

    I disabled the paging file to * start-> Control Panel - > system-> advanced-> performance-> settings-> advanced-> virtual memory - > Exchange-> no paging file *. I restarted my laptop and after the reboot in my case I could see the big difference in speed!

    TEST: I opened FEAR2 - Project Origin started playing and my character's movement, where much more receptive and lag-free! : D

    Conclusion: In my case disable virtual memory (swap file) really boosted my gaming experience! And I play on an ATI X200M with 256 MB shared memory card!
    Try this and if you get good results please post them here! I have

    Usually the pagefile should help you increase the performance of RAM
    USIN the page file, the data that must be stored in RAM would be transferred to the HARD disk and therefore a pieces of RAM would be free
