Satellite A300-1QP - RAM upgrade question

Hello world

After a few years, I decided to spend the money to upgrade the RAM.
Now, I'm pretty stuck to understand what to do.

I always knew that my laptop can be upgraded to 8 GB.
I also have many references for this information:

-model: Satellite A300-1 q PSAGCE-07000QIT
(http://www.toshiba.it/discontinued-products/satellite-a300-1qp/)

I checked physically slots: there are currently two slots of 2 GB each.
As long as no expert, I thought that the the more logical way to upgrade such a configuration is to buy the other two chips of 4 GB each to reach the 8GB.

However, it appears this combination didn't is not possible because I don't find not (I checked the site of Kingston and the Amazon). The upgrade of RAM I want to achieve is:
-DDR2
-800 Mhz
-8 GB

If this can be useful, I note all the data on the other two RAM modules:
2GB 2Rx8 PC2-64005-666-12-Z3
800 Mhz DDR2-SDRAM

Can someone help me understand what to do to upgrade the RAM 8 GB?

Thank you very much

Francesco

Hello

The laptop was equipped with the Intel GM45 Express chipset and the Intel ARK page this Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express is capable of dealing with the 8 GB of RAM
The chipset seems to support 667 MHz / 800 MHz/1066 modules MHz

If you want to increase the RAM up to 8 GB of RAM, the best option would be the use of 2 x SO-DIMM 4 GB (DDR2 800 Mhz) modules
The present modules must be removed and replaced with two modules of 4 GB.

Usually, you can use modules of different brand but modules good markets can cause a lot of problem different and strange. So I recommend you to buy good quality like Kingston, Toshiba, modules etc.

  • Satellite A300 - CPU & GPU upgrade questions

    Hello everyone!

    I have a satellite A300-1 to 9 (Intel Core 2 Duo T8300, Ati 3650, lcd WXGA 1280 * 800, 2 discs hard etc.) running Windows XP + SP3 + utility Toshiba etc...

    These are my questions...

    (1) can I upgrade the CPU Core 2 Duo P8400?
    (I know that T8300 and P8400 use the same socket)

    (2) can I put my screen WXGA (1280 x 800) with a WXGA + (1400 * 900) or WSXGA + (1680 * 1050)?
    How will this affect the battery consumption?

    (3) having the computer plugged (a/c power), when I close the lid, the computer goes into sleep mode.
    When I open the lid, the computer wakes.
    Unfortunately, the computer is running on battery power is not the case... I opened the lid and nothing happens,
    I have to press the power button for pc to wake up...

    can I fix?

    Thanks in advance...

    Satellite A300's newest model of laptop and I wonder how you feel about this hardware upgrade after so little time to use.
    In General, these upgrades are probably possible, but certainly not supported by Toshiba.
    In other way such radical update as a poster of upgrade is absolutely not logical for me. You probably know how expensive these parts are.

    In my opinion, should you sold your laptop and buy new with exact material you like to have.

    What about the last question? Please check all settings in the control panel and make sure that you have chosen the right option when the notebook is on battery or plugged in.

  • Satellite A110-195 - Ram upgrade questions

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A110-195

    My questions are:
    (1) what is the maximum size of ram per slot, 1 GB or 2 GB?
    I have 2 cylinders on my laptop right now 512 MB each. Am I able to replace one of them with a ram of 2 GB?

    (2) right now on my laptop I have DDR2 [PC2-4300] Rams.

    Any SoDimm DDR2 ram working?
    Either the ram DDR2 and exactly PC2-4300.

    Laptop supports the Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/27857/Intel-82945GM-graphics-and-memory-controller

    According to the Intel page, the chipset handles max 4 GB RAM.
    This means that you can use 2 x 2 GB RAM or 4 GB RAM module.

    The chipset supports DDR2-400 / DDR2-533 / modules of RAM DDR2-667

  • 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

  • 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!

    HDD 500.0 GB WESTERN DIGITAL Scorpio Blue 5000BEVT, SATA, 8 MB c., 5400 RPM

    Will it work, or does better go, my laptop will recognize it?

    TNX

    Hello

    I think that the laptops BIOS should recognize the new HARD drive.
    The new HARD drive is a SATA HDD and it's the most important thing.

    You need a 2.5 SATA HARD drive!
    Size and speed are not really important, because the new SATA controller must manage this without HARD disk problem.

  • Satellite R630-13F - RAM upgrade

    Hi all

    My R630 is faced with a newly added software for Photoshop (CS5 version). Whenever it is quite slow to open and try to merge the picture for the economy.

    I was wondering if I can upgrade the RAM. With a very limited knowledge, I would like to know if I need to buy an additional (if there is a vacancy for it), or I need to get one to replace the old.

    I think increasing the memory to 4 GB, but I was wondering if it will be enough for Photoshop. Thanks a lot for any input.

    Best wishes

    Tim

    Hey Buddy,

    RAM upgrade is not a problem because it is easy and can be done in a few minutes.

    Satellite R630 has Intel HM55 chipset, and the maximum capacity is 8 GB. This means that you can install 4GB module in each memory location. Also an upgrade to 4 GB is not a problem, you can keep your 2 GB module and just buy a new 2 GB module. The module DDR3-10066 part number is PA3676U-1M2G.

    If you have more questions just after, again :)

  • Display problem on Satellite A300 after Win7 upgrade

    I just did an upgrade to my Satellite A300 for Windows 7 32. I booted up my laptop and everything was fine, but after I have write my username and password and open a session on my screen becomes black.
    I hear it works, but I can't see anything.

    When I used safe mode it worked fine. I checked the display of information and it says unknown
    I downloaded the latest drivers for the ATI card on the Toshiba site, but when I install it, it says driver not detected because I think that I'm in safe mode and it is not connected and I can't install it in normal mode because I don't see anything

    What should I do?

    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 A300/M00 - RAM limit

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300/M00 running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium x 64 with 2 GB of RAM.
    I want to upgrade to 4 GB of RAM but also downgrade to the x 86 architecture.

    My computer everything is full x 64 compatible, including the CPU and GPU but I know x 86 address space stop at 4096 mb with the GPU, BIOS ROM and other material PCI-e use the address space, before the RAM is used by leaving about 3 GB of RAM remaining.

    My computer will use always the 4 GB of RAM, I will install in my computer using EAP to affect the whole of the batch, for example.

    Thanks in advance,

    Matthew Gill.

    > My computer everything is fully compatible, including the CPU and GPU x 64 but I know x 86 address space stops at 4096 mb with the GPU, BIOS ROM and other use of material PCI-e as the address before the RAM space is used by leaving about 3 GB of RAM remaining

    If you want to use full 4 GB of RAM then you should first find out if it is possible to upgrade the laptop with 4 GB of RAM.
    I mean that you should check your chipset if it supports 4 GB RAM capacity.
    If you are using the Intel mobile chipset then you should find the details on the Intel page!

    The main problem is that your 32 bit OS will recognize not the 4 GB of RAM. Only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS. But I think that you already knew about this problem from Microsoft.

    Hello

    I don't know if the update of the BIOS would help, but if the new BIOS is available for you notebook series, then it s a m updated value.

    But you should also check the Win 7 power management settings.
