Satellite C660 - RAM Question

Hi all

I have a question for the Satellite C660 I bought a week ago. Now, I noticed that it uses DDR3 1066 Mhz RAM and with the updated technology on a monthly basis, I wonder if I could upgrade to DDR3 1333 Mhz?

I read this model is expandable to 8 GB of RAM, but could not find a speed upgrade post anywhere.

At first, I have to confirm that your Satellite can be improved up to 8 GB of RAM and it is good decision to upgrade RAM to improve performance.
Upgrading Toshiba offers 4 GB of RAM with PA3677U-1M4G part number, then you can use two of them. This module is 1 066 MHz.

In General, you can use modules faster but that doesn t mean your laptop will be faster than 1066 MHz modules. If the motherboard FSB is faster at 1066 MHz modules need to slow down and will work at the set speed.

If your car can ride with 250 km/h, but the speed is limited to 120 km/h there is no many advantages for you, except maybe high gasoline use. Do you understand what I mean?

  • Satellite C660-1F1 - Question about newer drivers and the speed of the memory

    Some of the drivers for this laptop are outdated compared to the most recent drivers on peripheral manufacters website. Is it safe to use these new drivers or is it recommended to stick with the old drivers that are on the Toshiba site?

    Why you want to update your drivers? Do you expect a gain of performance with newer drivers?

    Way General, with official Toshiba drivers you are on the safe side because they are pre-tested. If you can make sure that they work properly and don t cause property damage. Install the other drivers happens on your own risk!

    The laptop is equipped with modules of DDR3 1066 MHz and the RAM speed is dependent on the FSB of the processor. If your CPU is throttling down, RAM modules will work also on low speed. On a high utilization of the processor (100%) the RAM modules must run with speed of 1066 MHz I think.

  • Satellite C660-22V - dedicated memory graphic question

    Hello

    I would like to know if it is provided on the model of Satellite C660-22V power added module memory ram wifi blutooth and more particularly to a graphic chipset dedicated.

    It seems that these two programs is the dedicated requires memory.
    Thanks for the help...

    To be honest, your post is a little confusing.
    The laptop seems to support the Intel HM55 HD graphics chip and a part of the main memory would be shared by the graphics chip too.

  • Satellite C660 - Windows 7 64 bit BSOD after upgrade RAM

    Hi guys

    my laptop Specs: Satellite C660-1JG
    -Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
    -Intel® Celeron® Processor T3500
    -2048 MB of RAM DDR3 (800 MHz).

    recently I increase my RAM to 4 GB (2 + 2 GB), since its installation, as soon windows7 64 bit beginning of loading, finished with BSOD. load BSOD Windows sometimes very well, but in a minute or two appears. I can confirm that it does not read the total RAM of 4 GB, I checked while the laptop was about 2 to 3 minutes ON. then I go out 1 RAM stick laptop is fine, no BSOD!

    so question raises if the RAM is at fault, incompatibility etc, but I have the dual boot OS and other OS is Ubuntu 11. who reads the 3.84 GB RAM and without crashing or BSOD or any question.

    Then I installed Windos 7 32 bit to see if that still has problems with 4 GB of RAM, but NO, 32 bit reads RAM 4 GB (usable 2.8 GB). without crashing or BSOD with 32, only problem with windows 64-bit version!
    I checked the specification it says Max RAM 4 GB Ram and yes it supports 4 GB RAM with Linux and win7 32-bit.

    I tried to update BIOS version 1.20 (currently on 1.40), but still got error: Firmware has no support of Flash (AFUWINGUI).
    I was wondering if any of you can guide me to the right direction.
    Thanks in advance

    I can't say for sure, but perhaps BSOD due to a compatibility issue.

    Kingston HyperX Plug and Play DDR3 1600 MHz CL9 8GB SODIMM Memory Module

    Also, I found this on C660-108

    Type: Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD
    amount of memory: 1 273 MB shared memory with 3 GB of installed system memory and up to 1 696 MB with 4 GB of system memory, (with system of 64-bit pre-installed operating)
    memory type: shared.

    If I update up to 8 GB ram it would mean my graphics system memory will be up 3 392 MB as well?

    Thank you very much.

    Kit

    According to the technical page of Toshiba laptop, 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB) are certainly possible.
    Kingston is a good manufacturer of RAM and provide good quality modules.

    The RAM modules should support the following sepcs:
    DDR3 1066 MHz (PC3-8500)

    Processor PENTIUM P6100 (2.00 GHZ) supports a 1,066 MHZ FSB and therefore the PC3-8500 must operate at full speed 1066 MHz

    > f I upgrade ram to 8 GB it would mean my graphics system memory will be up 3 392 MB as well?
    More RAM means more can be shared with the GPU, but this is controlled by the graphics driver automatically.

  • Upgrade of RAM video on Satellite C660/C660D

    HY,

    Stayes manual that I can improve my video memory dedicated, up to 4 GB, but I can't find this option in Advanced Option or in the Bios, I have a Satellite C660/C660D.

    Furthermore, my CPU is supporting 16 GB and my motherboard also, why can't I put on 16?, because in the manual it says that 8!

    Kind regards

    r

    I don't know what model you have exactly, but video Ram cannot be upgraded directly. All you can do is upgrade RAM. With more RAM, more memory will be used for graphical operations.

  • Upgrading RAM on Satellite C660 - 1 CL

    I bought two 4 GB PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz CL9 for my Satellite C660 - 1 cl .I put in and when windows tries to load computer laptop just stop.

    Any suggestion?

    I presume that there is compatibility problem. Many people have reported similar problems. RAM should be upgraded with high quality and 100% compatible parts.
    According to specification for laptop, your laptop model can be improved up to 8 GB and 4 GB compatible modules have the PA3677U-1M4G (DDR3-1066) part number.

  • Satellite C660 - update the HARD drive firmware question

    I have satellite C660 with hard drive: MK3275GSX, firmware: v.GT001M. On another Web site support site I found the update of firmware for v.GT002D ([link: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/mw/en/mwdhs1/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e6330?driverId=FP21C&fileId=3126089791&osCode=W732 & languageCode = en]).

    Can I use this update?

    Question may be stupid, but why firmware update HARD drive? Over the past 10 years I ve ever installed an update of the HARD drive.

    If Toshiba support doesn t offer an official update on the download page, I think that you don t need.

  • Increase the video RAM on a Satellite C660-1N6

    I tried to run a software for video editing (Cyberlink PowerDirector 8) on my Satellite C660-1N6, but it does not start.

    I was informed that 64 MB of ram of the laptop is not enough. My old laptop had a shared ram of with256Mb card SIS Mirage 3 and the program worked fine.
    I told myself I must increase the video ram 256 MB, but I don't know how this will affect the operation of the excellent laptop.

    Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

    Hello

    I found some info that your laptop has graphics UMA (Unified Memory Architecture). This means that the GPU uses system RAM instead of having there own dedicated RAM. They are fine for the use of the web, watching movies and so forth, but don't not to play or using video graphics performance of publishing applications.

    As I know there is no way to manually set. Everything works automatically and depends on the RAM used in Notepad.

  • Satellite C660 PSC1JE - 8 GB RAM upgrade problems

    Fellow owners of Toshiba,

    I have a Satellite C660-PSC1JE-00Y00XHU with 3 GB RAM (1 + 2) I want to go to 8 GB.

    I went out and bought 2 x 4 GB, but so far no of the below those worked (the computer restarts or stop):
    http://www.Amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-1333MHz-KTT-S3BS-4G/DP/B00B2UWSD4
    http://www.Kingston.com/dataSheets/KVR16S11S8_4.PDF
    I was not to mix memories above, purchased two of each. Certainly, these operate at higher MHz and they aren't memories KIT, so that may be the issue.

    According to the specifications of the laptop (SEE attachment), I should be able to move to 8 GB.
    I found the following thread here, but it is not help me solve this problem: https://forum.toshiba.eu/showthread...RAM+memory+8gb

    I found my memories at Intel:
    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/platform-memory/DDR3-1333-n-ECC-SODIMM-validation-results.html?wapkw=m471b2873fhs
    Two of my memories have a value of 'B' in the R/C column, but what that means? I ask, it is because in the list, there are two 4 GB memory listed thus:
    M471B5273CH0-CH9
    M471B5273BH1-CH9
    But these memories have a 'F' in R/C column. Is that mean that they didn't work with the tested chipset?

    I found a KIT on amazon, where PSC1JE is registered: http://amzn.com/B00WAFGDTK
    But on the important information of the product section, only C655 notebooks are listed.

    Another thing I noticed, is that support for DDR3 frequency on my motherboard is only 533 MHz, but the memories that came with the laptop are 666,7 MHz. Does that mean I shouldn't buy same PC3-10600 memory, since it would not even capable of running at full speed?

    What I absolutely have to buy KIT or can I go out with two sticks of Samsung 4 GB?

    I am at a loss. Can someone point me in the direction of someone who can check what memory modules I need in order to have 8 GB in my notebook?

    Thank you

  • Satellite C660-1LD - I want to add 4 GB of RAM

    Hello!

    My model is Satellite C660-1LD.
    I want to add 4 GB of RAM to my laptop.

    There are now 4 GB RAM DDR3 *(1066MHZ) * on my laptop.
    I can add, or is it better to add 4 GB RAM DDR3 to the second slot with *(1333MHZ) *?

    And how often my computer will work? (1066 mhz or 1333 mhz).
    As better RAM to add (brand, frequency) you think?

    Also the RAM I found is not buffered, does that mean?

    Thank you!

    > Can I add, or is it better to add 4 GB RAM DDR3 to the second slot with *(1333MHZ) *?
    It depends on your chipset.
    If your chipset supports 1333 Mhz RAM then works with maximum performance, otherwise it would be clocked up to 1066 Mhz.

  • Satellite C660-10 d - black screen after adding extra RAM!

    Hello world

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C660-10 d and have recently bought a 2GB additional RAM to upgrade my laptop to 4 GB in total. The RAM stick is identical to the 2 GB ram origin that settled in the laptop.

    I added the extra ram and when I turn on the laptop the screen remains black, however the laptop fans can be heard etc. When I remove the extra ram com starts up fine and shows the windows login screen. I also tried the two ram sticks on their own to slot 1 and both work well, its only when they are both in the connectors that I get the black screen.

    Any help asap would be fantastic.
