Satellite A350-22Z: DDR2 vs DDR3 + vista 32-bit to 64-bit win7

I have two questions. The first is when I checked my pc on cpu - z features, I discovered that the mobo has intel pm45 chipset. now when I looked pm45 specs. on intel web site it says that it takes support 667 MHz or 800 MHz DDR2 dual channel until 8Gigs and also 800 MHz or 1066 MHz DDR3 double channel until 8Gigs so that means I can replace my 4Gigs of DDR2 800 MHz RAM (2 + 2 configuration) with DDR3 1066 MHZ RAM 4Gigs(or more but lets stick with 4) (als 2 + 2 config.)? And if it is possible, that means that when I do tahat, the warranty is voided?

My second question is (in fact, she has two parts) my OS is Vista Home premium 32-bit and I bought win7 upgrade (from toshiba) which said 32/64-bit (also home premium) then can I switch from vista 32 bit win7 64-bit? In fact I wanted 64-bit OS, but my laptop was preinsalled with only 32 bit OS and lacked English option or in Turkish, i.e. choice of 64-bit operating system. So if I use HDD recovery can I turn into 64-bit while I would have no problem switch to win7 64-bit?

Thanks for your help.

The chipset can handle this, but there might be a limitation of the BIOS, which means that the BIOS recognise no more RAM. In the worst case your laptop wouldn't boot.
I m not very well if the BIOS can handle more than 4 GB of RAM, you should test it I m very interesting on the results

Why do you want a Vista upgrade to Windows 7?
You can do a fresh install of Windows 7. In my opinion, it's a better option, and this will help to avoid some compatibility issues with Vista preinstalled applications.

  • Satellite A350 - Question about RAM and Vista 32 bit - 64 bit

    I bought a Satellite A350 Tiger Direct. He moved with Windows Vista 32 bit.
    It is capable in my view up to 8 GB of Ram. Vista 32 bit does support 3.

    All reviews on this laptop online say that it came with 64-bit and 400 GB of memory.
    Mine came with only 230 GB of memory and 32 bit vista. I ran Belarc advisor, and he tells me that my computer is 64-bit ready.

    Is this true? Why is - this me came not with Vista 64 bit?
    I want to upgrade my ram but with 32 bits, which is not possible and according to Microsoft you cannot update 32-bit to 64-bit.
    So should I buy Vista 64-bit upgrade? (for around 300 euros!). Is this in any way about this?

    What are my options? I want 4 GB of Ram or more really bad...

    What Satellite A350 do you have exactly?

    AFAIK the most recent series of Toshiba laptop pre-installed a dual operating system;
    In this case, you can choose between Vista 32-bit or 64-bit.

    To obtain the 64-bit, you will need to restart the laptop and have to press F8.
    Here you must choose the option to fix my computer. Then select Toshiba HDD recovery and finally, you should see the option which would be you can toggle between the 32 and 64 bit.

    Usually the Vista 32 bit supports 3.2 GB RAM.
    Only the 64-bit Vista will be able to recognize 4 GB and more.

  • Re: Question on the Satellite A350-22Z GPS

    Hello

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A350-22Z. My GSP does not work. GPS Utility from Toshiba said GPS not supported, but I'm sure that I used my GPS on this computer. After that I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x 64, I couldn't not do GPS works.

    I installed the drivers 3G and Toshiba Wireless Manager.
    But still I could not find the necessary driver/software.

    This who should I guess what to do?

    Thanks in advance...

    According to the specifications of the laptop this model has 3G and comes with Windows Vista 32 bit.
    I believe you that you have used the 3G with original OS because it contains Ericsson 3 G driver and Toshiba 3 G RF Control Utility.

    You will find download page to download both of them for Win7 on Toshiba?

    What is the problem in your opinion?

    Hi erdemrek,
    I don't see what exactly is the problem you are talking about but:
    If you have the same processor, the same amount of ram, same brand, model, same installation then everything should be the same.
    What do you mean "more frequently" unfortunately I don't speak your language to that effect, I can't read the text on your image.
    If you test the speed of the machine to be sure to use the same utility (benchmark).
    load on a system differs depending on the services and applications launched and running.
    could you give some more information about this problem?

    as a first step, you can try to change the hard drive and see if there is no change. If it's a software problem, it should appear on the other machine as well when changing the hard drive.

  • Satellite A500D-10F - Display driver for Vista 64 bit

    Hi guys.

    I currently have a Satellite A500D-10F (PSAN3E-00900JN5). I was browsing through the download page, looking for the display driver for this model works on Vista 64. Unfortunately, only vista 32 and versions of windows 7 are only popping up on categories.

    Can someone kindly help me on this or maybe direct me to the appropriate for the correct ATI display driver download link?

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    I checked Toshiba driver download page and you have written for Windows 7 64-bit, a driver is available. I n t have A500D before me so that I can t test it, but usually Windows 7 drivers also work on Vista 64 bit, because they are very similar. In your case, I would like to try the 64 bit Windows 7 driver.

    You want to install Windows Vista 64-bit? Why you n t choose the best Windows 7?

  • Re: Satellite A300-1EI PSAGCE - need to Vista 64-bit drivers

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite A300 - 1EI PSAGCE, which by default comes with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I intend to upgrade the operating system to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but I am not able to find the drivers for vista 64 bit from Toshiba Web sites. When buying the laptop, I had asked expressly the Toshiba seller if I can move on to the final and he convinced me that I can.

    _Kindly provide a link to download the drivers for 64 bit for A300-1EI_.

    Please notify.

    Kind regards
    Adil

    You asked to you can upgrade Vista 64-bit operating system and sellers said yes.
    Well, of course, you can install the 64-bit Vista. You can also install W2k or WinME you can install everything but the question is whether you will be able to find the drivers.

    The point is that this is a new series of mobile at the moment and I think that the derivers 64 bit of Vista will be released in next time
    So, either you will wait until these drivers will be available on the Toshiba site or you try to collect the drivers and own hand.

  • Satellite Pro A300-1NT - need drivers Vista 64-Bit

    Hello

    I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-1NT, which came with Windows Vista 32 - Bit pre installed and a XP Recovery disk.
    I bought the 64 bit Vista edition, but I found all the drivers for Vista 64-bit on your website if it is 64-bit capable.

    How can I get them?

    Hello

    It seems that 64-bit Vista for A300 series drivers are not available on the page of the European driver Toshiba at this time.

    That's why you have two options;
    Either you will wait until these drivers will be published on the website of pilot or you try to collect these drivers to your own hand.
    You can search and try for example such single drivers out for another series of notebook and could search also site of manufacturers of chips like Intel, Realtek, etc.

    Good bye

  • Re: Satellite P300D-12F PSPD4E: Driver for Vista 64-bit required

    Hey,.

    Hope you can help me...
    Satellite P300D-12F (PSPD4E - 018001GR) is a portable computer that has a 64-bit processor...
    So why I can't find the drivers on the page of the driver for Vista 64 bit?

    Hello

    > Why I can't find drivers on the page of the driver for Vista 64 bit?
    Maybe the 64 bit Vista drivers are not available at this moment, because this series is new to the market and the driver 64 bit Vista will be released in the near future.

    I think that it s just a matter of time when the pilots will be published on the European driver Toshiba page.

    Not out of patience ;)

  • Re: Satellite A100-003 - need of Windows Vista 64-bit drivers

    I want to upgrade my OS to Vista 64-bit, but I can't find it anywhere
    I want the functions to work such as media buttons (stop, play,... etc.)
    I got my cell phone as a gift from the Middle East, and now I'm having hard to upgrade

    This is the Satellite A100-003

    Any suggestions?

    If the European driver of Toshiba page doesn t provide the driver 64 bit Vista for this laptop, then you have some many other opportunities to visit some 3rd Web sites and collect only drivers to clean hands.

  • Satellite P300D-12Y can I install Vista 64-bit?

    Hello world
    I'm new here and have my first Toshiba-laptop, just bought a week ago.
    It is this model
    http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/satellite-P300D-12Y/1060921/toshibaShop/false/

    It works OK, but Vista 32 is quite a mess ;)

    As I've worked on XP pro or Vista 64-bit on my PC now my question:

    Can I install Vista64 on this book?
    Do I need a special BIOS for the 64 bit - OS?
    The Toshiba download page are no drivers or BIOS for Vista64 corresponding to my model number.

    I tried to update my recent BIOS of 2.6 to 2.8 (included P300D-series) but without success, error message was 'no corresponding version of BIOS', I tried upgrading on windows.

    All useful tips about the BIOS and Vista64-install (and whether I should get the drivers from the manufacturer sites) are appreciated.

    THX in advance

    Of course, you can install the Vista 32 bit on this laptop.
    But the problem is that the 64 bit Vista drivers are not published at this time for this series of laptop.

    So, you have to collect the drivers of your own hands.
    In addition, you should not try to update the BIOS if it has not been created specially for this model of laptop.

  • Satellite A200 - 18 m take the Vista 64-bit?

    Hello

    does anyone know if my A200 - 18 m will have 64 bit vista... Thought get 4 GB of ram, but want all reconised. Help?

    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/productPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=132400

    You should be able to install the Windows Vista 64-bit on this laptop.
    But there is another problem.

    Is that Toshiba does not support drivers 64 bit Vista at the moment and that is why you won't find any Toshiba 64-bit drivers for your system.

    In this case, you will need to use the drivers from sites of single chip s manufacturer.

  • Satellite P300D - 12 c - need drivers Vista 64 bit

    Hello

    I need drivers for vista 64-bit, anyone know is that I can find them?
    I'm looking on the official website of toshiba, but there only for 32 bit...

    Also, anyone know if I can put a second hdd?

    Thanks in advance

    You may need to wait for the Vista 64 bit drivers.
    If you n t want to wait, then you will need to collect the drivers of your own hands.

    With regard to the second HDD:
    Remove the HARD drive second bottom.
    Check if there is a second HARD drive controller available.
    Is there no connector then you cannot install the second HARD drive!
