Satellite A60 - memory increased

My Satellite A60 has 256 MB of memory and is vey slow these days. I removed several applications, but he healed partially the problem. I also defragment the hard drive. Could I need more memory?

Counsel would be appreciated - how get it and install it?

Hi Charles,

Increasing your RAM will be an improvement, but only with applications that are particularly intensive memory. It is heavy graphics using games and utilities such as photo manipulation, video editing etc.

It is much more likely that your system is hampered by the excessive task that runs after your first commissioning. Check in your task for the background process manager how you running and how much resources they actually are using. For a typical installation of XP, I would expect that there is between 45-50 running processes.

Unless you have already done so I would recommend running a spyware (ADAWARE SE and SPYBOT S & D) utility that can be freely downloaded from the Internet, to see what presents itself.

I see that you have already defragmented your drive hard, which is great, but I highly recommend running the disk cleanup utility as well to get rid of all unnecessary clutter.

With regard to the RAM, I believe that the maximum that you can expand to 1280 Mb is, and I would recommend that you use Toshiba or RAM Kingston modules like these are tested to work with your laptop. I also used the modules of ORCA in my own laptop wuite successfully. Really, the choice is yours.

Information on the replacement of the RAM modules are usually contained in the manual of your users and should also provide details of the procedure to follow.

    The brochure says that you can install a 1 GB module in the memory slot. There is only one slot, you can install memory.

    So if there are 256MB onboard, you can increase the total 1.25 GB memory

  • Question on the module memory for Satellite A60

    I have a Satellite A60-352, and I was wondering if I can put my module memory of my laptop on my desk. And another thing, where I find the module in my cell phone because I'm not.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The fact is that the A60 was equipped with an internal memory (256 MB or 512 MB).
    This memory is not removable and so you only have one memory for an upgrade slot.
    Usually the A60 manages the PC2100 200 pin SODIMM (266 MHz) DDR modules.
    So, you can use the modules from different manufacturers that support the above specifications.

  • Satellite A60-217 memory upgrade

    Hi, I have a Satellite A60-217 (Intel Pentium IV HT 532, 3.06 GHz), and I want to upgrade the memory by adding a 512 MB of currently installed memory (256 MB with 64 MB shared memory for video card).

    I tried to install a S3 + PC2700 DDR SODIMM 512 MB module, but the system does not boot to the top: it emits a long whistle blow and then stops automatically. If I remove the module, the system starts properly.

    The manual indicates the speed of the memory supported is only PC2100. Is this true? The module is maybe defective?

    Thank you

    can I use more than 1, 5 GB of ram? later with an update of the bios?
    and if I can change the graficcard? If the answer is Yes... What is the best card I can actually use?
    or is there a map which is almost a geforce 7600 or 6600 (or ati 9700) I can use?

    Thank you for the help

    PS excuse my English ;)

    > I want to upgrade the ram and the new graphics card

    Upgrading RAM is possible but the graphics card is unable to be updated!

    If you want to upgrade the memory you could update to 1536 MB max.
    The A60 supports 512MB internal memory and it is so that one memory slot where the extra RAM module can be inserted.

    These modules are compatible:
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  • Satellite A60-672 has an internal memory that is immovable

    NEBIE here with what is probably a stupid question.

    I bought 1 GB of DDR Ram to upgrade the laptop above (which is currently a very limited 256 MB RAM) and removed the access memory based slot then... confusion.

    This model has an internal memory that is immovable?
    There is a black sticker on the memory, the levers to release the memory are blocked to other areas of the motherboard that makes me suspect that there is another angle.

    If Yes, where is the actual expansion slot?

    Sorry if this seems a bit thick!

    Hope you can help.

    > This model has an internal memory which is not removable?

    Yes, the Satellite A60 supports a 256 MB internal memory and this memory may not be withdrawn. There is therefore only ONE slot of memory which is expandable.

    So, you will be able to upgrade memory only to 1280MB

  • Satellite A60-712 - turn off after 2-3 seconds

    Hello everyone.

    I am trying to fix this Satellite A60-712; He came to me without feeder, but I found a compatible and it seems to work: CC in LED lights up and the battery starts to charge.

    My problem is that this starts Mobile for awhile, radiator begins to turn, all the lights are normally, but, all of a sudden everything turns off after 2-3 seconds. I have observed that this machine has only one slot of free RAM and noted that it has integrated the module memory motherboard; that would be the problem? Or another reason?

    Could someone help me?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    > it came to me without feeder, but I found a compatible
    Can you please test it with a Toshiba original AC/DC adapter? The same thing is happening?

    If the laptop has already integrated memory motherboard there is no problem. Alternatively, you can use the laptop without additional RAM module.

    In the worst cases, you need professional help of an authorized service provider. :(

  • What type of RAM can I update satellite A60-108

    Hello

    Should what kind of RAM I update my Toshiba A60-108, PSA60E-03H0357Y?

    I found very interesting site of memory:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=11565&ft=m&St=3

    Satellite A60-106 listed there, but I think it uses the same modules as the a60-108
    According to this page, you can use PC2700 200 pin memory (333 Mhz) DDR SODIMM modules.

    As suggested, you can use a slot for an upgrade.
    The laptop supports the 1536 MB max (about 1.5 GB) memory
    In this case, you can use max 1 GB module.
