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.

  • Question about upgrading to Vista 64 - bit - Satellite A300-1EG

    Hello

    I wanted to ask you, how can I run Vista 64-bit without losing all the software that I got carried away with my laptop Toshiba Satellite A300-1EG?
    I would be remiss and so on the Toshiba disk creator?
    Is there a way to extract somehow the recovery DVD?

    Thank you

    Please do not mix two different things. 64-bit and 32-bit versions are not the same and if your mobile phone is supported for the version of Vista 64-bit, you can find all the drivers, tools and utilities on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

    Have you already checked this?

    BTW: recovery image cannot be used for spare parts. It can only be used in the package.

  • 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 A100-003: Question about RAM and recording model number

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    1. the first problem is that I bought the notebook of Toshiba Satellite A100-003 model. But when I tried to save the European web site of Toshiba with my serial number it says Satellite A100-011. I do not understand what it means that. But I do not know my phone model A100-003-PSAARE-0470257Z. The serial number of my laptop is: 17739127G

    2. Another problem is the European website of Toshiba and Turkey Toshiba official site (http://www.toshibatr.com/notebook_filter.asp?ktg=A100) says Rams are 533 MHz "2 048 (1, 024 + 1, 024) MB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)"but mine is at 266 MHz. "

    http://img510.imageshack.us/my.php?image=satellitea100003xg4.jpg

    I was wondering in Toshiba laptops of the Turkey has problems or handed in state something? I sent e-mail to the web site of Toshiba Turkey but they don't send me emails or information.

    Thank you for helping me,
    Halin

    Hello

    First of all your registration number is not a 'problem '. Maybe it s just a small mistake in their database. When I registered my P200 registration reported me another type as mine was, but after a call to the hotline of toshiba told me, that my machine is listed correctly in the database.
    Don t worry, register just she.

    With regard to the RAM:

    Do you know why's called it 'DDR' ram? That means 'RAM memory' and the goal is to double the frontsidebus.

    In your case, that means: the REAL AND PHYSICAL frontsidebus is 266 Mhz, but because the flow is double you have a 533 MHz frontsidebus (532, 34.Mhz).
    CPU - Z and WCPUID are simply display the physical clock of the RAM, but the frontsidebus double the signal and then you pure and authentic to 533 MHZ.

    I hope I could explain something to you. ;)

    Have a nice weekend

  • Satellite A200 - Question on RAM and HARD disk partitions

    Maybe it's in the wrong section... I do not know.

    I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).

    The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 in fat32, so data is available for both)

    Now I wonder what data should I keep these readers. There is a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive that seems to have the drivers and such, some wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the WinRE called D: drive which has a kind of sdi and wim files.

    Another question, if I buy the 2 GB that is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200 - 28 p)
    Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop = true & SelCategorie = 4700]
    It will match the 2 GB already in the laptop? It will void the warranty anyway?

    Hello

    > I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
    I assume you are using Vista.
    The 2 GB partition is a hidden partition which contains the data and the backup files in Vista. This partition will be automatically created during the installation of Vista.

    On the other partition 90GB.
    Well, this partition (partition of data) can be used to store files such as photos, movies, personal documents, etc. it s always recommended to partition a large HDD in more partition. This improves performance because the OS can access files much faster.

    Of course, you can change the size of the partitions. In Vista, you can change this in disk management.

    Regarding the upgrade of RAM;
    The laptop seems to supports the Intel® PM965 chipset and it manages 4 GB of RAM. It seems that you could use a 2 GB of RAM in one slot.

  • Re: Satellite A200: Question about the Windows Vista serial key

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 and I doubt, in everest, I can see the key of Windows Vista, but it's different to the Windows key in the tile to the bottom of the laptop.
    I change anything in the laptop because I bought, I have use once the recovery cd, but I have not a pirate key or something like that.

    Why this different key?

    Post edited by: Admin

    I agree with the user above.
    The serial key you will find at the bottom of the device is not similar to the serial key that can be read using a few 3rd party applications!

    But you don t need such series on your Toshiba laptop key.
    The restore CD contains an image of Toshiba which is already activated!

  • Two questions about SP1 and Vista startup

    Hi all
    two questions:

    (1) I understand that if I want SP1 on my machine, I have to install manually, because it is not included in the automatic update routines?

    (2) my machine failed yesterday, I received a message "unable to start Windows. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. "The only thing I can think is that before turning off the previous time, I inserted a USB hard drive to copy the files on it. But I continued to work normally on the machine. Another unusual event, it is the day before, it was very slow to start, so afer it finished start, I restarted.

    When the system could not start, I tried several times, automatic procedures that always ended with "windows cannot resolve the issue automatically,
    Contact your service provider. In the last attack, I also clicked on a 'Advanced tab' and restored the system, but it does not solve the problem. Then, this morning I turned on the machine again to write the exact error I have, and message instead, unexpectedly (and rather willingly), the machine starts normally. So, what could happen? Should I get my machine (which is less than one month) verified?
    Thank you!

    Paola

    Hi polla.

    (1) Yes, Yes. You must download and install SP1 manually.

    (2) No, I'm Don t think that you should check. I would say: work with it and if the error appears, back up all your data and restore complete your system, so you can exclude any type of software problem...

  • Question about RAM

    Hi, I have question about ram because I'm so confused how this works.

    on my computer it says quad core and 6 GB of ram doesn't mean it all to combine them is 6 GB of ram? or each one is 6 GB?

    on my system config it says 6 GB so it means that each of them is 6 GB?

    and could you explain how to work this thing of hearts?

    Hello

    If your laptop is 6 GB of ram, it will mean that it is a 4 GB module in a slot and a 2 GB module in the other.  You can always refer to download and install the application at the link below.

    http://www.CPUID.com/softwares/CPU-z.html

    One time installed, launch the application, click the SPD tab and you will see the size of the memory card in the location selected in the drop-down list.

    More info on multi-core processors can be seen here.  Details in this regard are visible in the CPU tab on the above application.

  • Question about RAM CL

    Hi guys. I'm finalizing my PC build and I have a question about ram CL I can't find answers for hackers page here. http://ppbm7.com/index.php/news/planning?showall= & start = 3

    I would use these two RAM sticks for example.

    Module 240 pin DDR3-1333 transcend JetRam™ 8 GB High Performance: CL9, layer 6 circuit board

    Transcend JetRam™ High - Performance 8 GB DDR3-1600 240-Pin Module: CL11, 6 layer PCB, ultimate card stability and cross-platform compatibility

    My question is, what is the best for video editing? On the one hand we have 1333 mhz to with a CL of 9. On the other hand, we have RAM 1600 mhz faster, but at a higher CL of 11. Now, I'm not one to get caught up in the technical aspects as it may seem, but I don't understand so I can make decisions, especially when price is a factor. In this case however, they are at the same price...

    Well good for video editing, important criteria for RAM is:

    • Never, never crashes - it is very important; choose only RAM sticks (certified QVL) certified provider and do not use unmatched sticks
    • Speed; faster is better - while true also, past at the speed of the RAM, or lowering of the CASE wait cycles (latency) contribute to the speed, but the gains are very low; Faster RAM is hardly perceptible vs CPU speed more fast which is very sensitive (I played with it a lot on some versions overclock and test first with PPBM speed and speed up the processor 5% performance contributes to 5% where speed RAM about 30% can speed up about 1%)

    Google "what is the CASE for the RAM" and one week at self-teaching yourself if you want to even begin to really understand speed RAM! I know enough to know there is a lot to learn about the subject. The good news is that you don't need really to know a lot to build a reliable, excellent for running Adobe products, including the first, Photoshop and After Effects:

    • Use only RAM who has certified the seller of memory for your motherboard; do not assume that if the seller indicates a set 4x8Go of sticks that will work with your motherboard that two sets of such RAM will work with a card mother 8 locations either! (too late to discuss here, but various factors may override the controller memory in the processor itself - factors include voltage RAM, number of sticks, RAM clock, status of CASE of waiting settings speed, voltage of the cpu memory controller and maybe more)
    • Increasing the speed of the RAM always helps if slightly for first speed up to 1600 MHz (for x 79 in any case) and wins the speed of RAM which are still lighter

    Now, back to why both sets of sticks are the same cost. They most likely use the same chips of RAM, which is an important factor for what it costs to build the RAM sticks. While the Asus motherboard you buy allows full customization of many, many, many things, unless you are an extreme Overclocker and plan to spend a few weeks to fine-tune a new simple version you in the bios of motherboard and it say to use XMP settings. This indicates the motherboard, how to set the speed of the RAM and sticks of timings CASE for your particular RAM with the settings the seller intended.

    You really know a lot about what you are doing to set the timings RAM in any way other than the simple choice of XMP settings safely. And, you can easily burn your CPU if you don't know what you're doing and you choose some really bad parameters.

    Kind regards

  • X 300-4 GB OF RAM? VIsta 32 bit

    Hello!

    I would like to ask if I needs to (or can) put 4 GB of RAM using Vista 32 bit.

    Where can I get all the problems?

    Second question:

    is it better to recover my 300 x in Windows Xp? I think that my ThinkPad is very slow and have some problems with sleep... could be the feature of Vista?

    And just one more Question: what about RAM under Xp - is 3, 4 GB possible also? or just stay with 2 GB?)

    Jarek cordially

    I'd go with 2 x 2 GB or 2 GB + 1 configuration of concert

  • Install Windows 7 64 bit and Vista 32 bit on the same drive

    I have Vista 32 bit installed on my laptop. Media recovery is on a recovery partition, I have no recovery DVD such as $85 for something that should be included with my expensive laptop anyway, it is a bit much

    I have a drive to upgrade Windows 7 from my laptop manufacturer that allows me to each upgrade or to start from scratch.

    I want to install Windows 7 64 bit on a separate partition for the installation of my 32-bit Vista, but when I boot on the DVD there is no option to select the 32 or 64 bit, it only allows me to install the 32-bit version. I have partitions installed correctly then they arnt the problem. If I try to boot from the recovery partition to install Vista 64 bit on a separate partition, to upgreade can leave, he simply don't say so, it doesn't allow the recovery or replacement of my existing Vista installation. Also, often when I boot to recovery mode, by organizing 0 start up, he simply waits some time and the Vista of boots in any case.

    How should I do to dual boot Windows 7 64 bit and Vista 32-bit, as all possible ways I have tried do not work, and I can't afford to buy the madmen of... Toshiba recovery media ?

    The 'disc Windows 7 from the manufacturer of your laptop upgrade' can be used to improve the qualification system of operating from 32-bit of Windows Vista that was originally installed on the laptop.  It cannot be used for any other configuration or purpose. Carey Frisch

    Actually, this isn't just a "upgrade drive" it's a full disc of Windows 7, I know that I can install full Windows 7 32 bit in a separate partition for Vista.

    The problem is solved in any case, I managed to hide my Vista (C) install with Acronis and boot to the WIndows 7 DVD. It then allowed me to install Windows 7 64 bit on the other Partition, because he did not think that 32-bit Windows Vista has been installed on the HARD drive. I managed to deceive it by showing the menu options of 32 bits or 64 bits in this way... I assumed it was a protection system put in place by Microsoft to stop upgrade problems if soemone tried upgrade Vista 32, Windows 7 64

    Now under Vista 32 and Widnws 7 64 on the same computer.

  • RAM and my 32-bit system

    Hi, I just brought Thinkpad X100e, it came with 3 GB of ram and a 32-bit operating system I was hoping to upgrade to 4 GB, but I read that it is not worth doing unless it's 64-bit. Is this the case? And if so is it expansive upgrade to 64-bit?

    If you do not use all your 3 concerts upward, then you need not 4 gigabytes of ram. More does not always faster.

  • Synchronization and Vista 64-bit

    I have a Palm TX and Vista 64-bit and having synchronization problems (do not recognize the device when I try to synchronize).  I couldn't install the original/old version of the software (v 4.1.2 I think) and downloaded v 6.2.  Installed, it cannot synchronize.  I tried what you said worked for you by opening the Palm as an administrator, but that made no difference to me.  If anyone knows other alternatives, it would be appreciated.

    How you try to synchronize?  Via USB?  It can be done this way, as mentioned in dozens of discussions here...

    You have a wireless network set up in your home?  I wrote a file "how to sync a Tx via Wifi with Vista64" above it "sticky" gray display at the top of this section of the forum.   I use this method with my Vista 64 bit laptop easily!
