Satellite L300 (PSLB0H-01P00F) - which is my max RAM?

Hi all
I would like to know if anyone knows what is the maximum RAM on my Satellite L300 (PSLB0H-01P00F). It came with a default 1 GB and I have now traded as a 2 GB card. But there are 2 slots for RAM... a top slot and a lower slot. At first I tried to add the 2 GB card in the top slot, I hoped would give me 3 GB, but my laptop does not recognize the additional memory after reboot. I pulled out the card of 1 GB of the slot bottom and replaced by the 2 GB card and the top slot was left empty. The laptop has recognized the 2 GB card this time after reboot. So at least I know that the 2 GB card is not defective.

I tried looking for info on my model number on the net, but only found a source (Hong Kong computer store price list) who has had my model number and he said that the max is 4 GB.

So I was wondering if my top slot is broken. Is anyway to check? Sorry, but I'm a little computer illiterate when it comes to detailed diagnosis.

If it helps, my DirectX Diagnostic tool displays the following parameters for the memory and the swap file

Memory - 2038 MB RAM
Page 1263 file being used, 3047 MB of available space
DirectX version - DirectX 10

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you very much

Hello

The upgrade of RAM depends on s laptop chipset.
Satellite L300 (PSLB0H-01P00F) is unknown to me but another Satellite L300 with a cell phone * Intel® GL960 Express Chipset * supports 2 GB RAM max

    SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLIHS

    Hello

    In General, upgrading CPU on mobile computers is not supported. Toshiba has a very useful document and you can find it here.
    A more powerful processor means more heat and it can be risky for the material. Each laptop model has certain designed cooling system to maintain the optimal material temperature and protect from overheating. Because of all these aspects CPU upgrade could be quite risky.

    A long time ago I ve tested upgrade CPU on my old model P300. Believe me I didn t notice a performance boost. Not at all. Later I ve passed RAM to max level and exchanged the SSD HARD drive.
    It was the right decision and these updates is supported and without any risk.

    Satellite L300 is a quite old but still good machine for daily activity. My advice for you is to upgrade RAM and use SSDS. Of course install Win7 32 bit and, believe me, your machine will be very fast and you really happy with it.

  • Satellite L300 - 16L - BSOD with new modules of RAM

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L300 - 16L and make me the same problem.

    Has got 2 x 1 GB DIMMS standard and ordered 2 new 2 GB DIMMS. If I put the 2 new 2 GB DIMMS in I get the BSOD, Memtest also crashes as soon as it starts to test. If I place a 1 GB Dimm in the lower slot and a 2 GB in another windows starts fine, if I try to put the 2 in the lower slot and 1 GB in the higher the BSOD that he.

    But if I put either of 2 GB on the lower slot his own windows boots fine, mem test has also allows to test the two GBs 2 individually and said no problem.

    Any ideas anyone? My laptop is supposed to support 4 GB, I'm sure of it.

    Thank you

    Hi Jack_Jumpin,

    > My laptop is supposed to support 4 GB, I'm sure of it.
    Why you are sure that your laptop supports 4 GB of RAM?

    I checked the specification of your laptop on the Toshiba page and this L300 - 16L supports only 2 GB. This means that you can only use two modules including 1 GB of capacity.

    Sorry, mate, but you can use t 4 GB. The chipset supports only 2 GB.

  • General question: which limits the max RAM, you can install? Why is he still limited?

    Hi all

    I have a p7-1254 Pavilion with 8 GB of RAM installed. I thought that perhaps it would be better if I installed 16GB. Then I read the specs of my PC and it says "Supports 8 GB of RAM".

    Why would it be limited? What is the reason RAM gets limited on some PCs?

    Hello:

    You are right. The maximum memory that can be installed in your PC is 8 GB.

    Why is there a limit?

    This is a hardware limitation of the motherboard chipset, or a limitation of the BIOS that cannot be changed.

    Memory is limited to a certain extent in every PC.

    As PC evolves a day 16 GB will be that 2 GB is now.

  • Satellite L300-1AI - how to put more video RAM?

    Hello

    I struggle a bit with the graphics card.

    I bought GrandTheftAuto IV, and although it runs, it runs very slowly. The cause for this is that it uses only 124 MB of video ram.

    I went to the site of intel to learn more, and it turns out that toshiba will set up my video ram before sending it.

    http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm
    (about 1/2 down, titled: can I increase the amount of memory graphics using my computer is?)

    Y at - it an option for me to set up a little more ram on the graphics card?

    Because at the moment, if I will:
    Desktop computer - make a right click, customize, display settings, advanced settings
    Get the type of adapter and information.
    Its a Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
    1341MB available total graphics memory
    128 MB of dedicated video memory
    Video 0MB system memory
    1213MB shared system memory

    The quesitons I need to answer: why vista/intel usually allocate more video memory it is necessary. GTA IV seems not to be allowed to see the dedicated video memory.
    And then, how can I say vista/intel to allocate video memory dedicated more or maybe video memory system?
    Dynamic video memory allocation thingy seems to not work very well.

    I have already been in the graphics media accelerator driver and changed the 3D, of Normal driver memory settings to high.

    Concerning
    Ollie

    Normally the video RAM is switchable dynamic and you can t change.
    What you can do is update your RAM and then you will have more video RAM.
    However, you should not change the video RAM. Get this s automatically.

    On GTAIV I can say, install the latest hotfix.
    In addition, you can GTAIV tell you more RAM:
    Create a commandline.txt in the main folder of GTAIV and enter this txt to the following file:
    -availablevidmem 2.0

    This option set the amount of physical memory to video.

  • Satellite L300-01:00 - need the drivers Windows XP 64-bit

    Hi all!

    I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite L300-01:00 which has 4 GB of memory RAM. The thing is, 32-bit Windows cannot allocate more than 3 GB of RAM and there is no drivers for Windows 64 bit on this site.

    Can I use these drivers XP, downloaded from the site, as well on XP64 and XP32? If this is not the case, what am I, what to do?
    Thank you very much!

    Are you bother just did 3.2 GB can be used or you think really with 4 GB, you'll have more powerful laptop?

    There is no sense to think about installing 64-bit if the phone is not supported for 64 - bit. Maybe you can find some drivers on the internet, but you will have all the other stuff specific to Toshiba.

  • Satellite L300 - Toshiba Recovery Disck, which it stores?

    Hello

    my experience with computers is very limited, so I'll use very simple language and perhaps a few stupid words.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300. I want to restart because of the research and discussions that have been made through it.
    I know that even if I delete them in my story they still remain in the hard disk, HHD.
    So I tried restarting my pc, I contacted computer guy who sold me the pc and it said that I can use a recovery disk to recover my original windows but it does not mean that this disc will also install the memory of old?

    In short, I was to start my pc to get rid of all the images, discussions msn, google search since my pc.
    Its history, those who are still keept in the pc but I can not access.
    I have not yet created my recovery disk, but it will include my old files and history? or just windows and drivers?

    Hello

    If I understand correctly you want to format (call you it, restart) files from your hard drive to remove information such as history, no one can read.
    Please, do not forget if you even format your hard drive, it is always possible to recovery all data from your hard drive.
    As I know, there is a good software called Tech clear, it can destroy all data on your hard drive and almost impossible to recover safely (depending on which algorithm use the choice). But I don't understand why you need. You have something special?
    Talking about recovery disk, you can do a fresh install, but old information can be retrieved by special utilities.

    Any help would be appreciated :)

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I have the Satellite L300 too so I can say that this laptop uses SATA hard drives. So if you want to buy a new HARD drive, you should buy one with SATA or SATA2 interface. Both will work in Satellite L300.

    In addition, you need a normal 2.5 HARD drive. These drives are designed for the use of the laptop.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • Satellite L300 - cannot install Microsoft updates after replacing HARD drive

    I am repairing a Satellite L300, which had a dead HARD drive. I replaced death 160 GB of HDD with a 500 GB WD, then used the recovery disks to install Windows Vista SP1 at the exit of the State of the box.

    Now, Windows update does not work, won't install autonomous not of Vista SP2 I downloaded, MS Security Essentials moved there also.
    Then I borrowed a 160 GB of work and went through the same process and everything works fine.

    To make it work with a 160 GB HARD drive, but not a 500 GB HARD drive. Why?

    > ... Standalone Vista SP2 I downloaded will not be installed
    Usually after installing recovery image, you have just to connect laptop to internet and after a short period of time, you will get messages about available Windows updates. Just install the offered updates process automatic Waterer and install important updates only.

    Let the system to install all the updates and don t force the installation of some own downloaded stuff.
    Last month I've updated HARD drive (320 GB I think) and installed Win7 on friends L300 and I didn't noticed any problem here.

  • Satellite L300 - product key Windows 7 required

    Hello. I bought my Toshiba Satellite L300 in 2011 and it came with windows vista preinstalled. Some time later, we learned that Toshiba gave a free upgrade to windows 7. I got the install disks and install windows7. I had zero problems with my machine since and have been a very happy customer - until very recently.

    I emptied my trash recently and for some reason, there were a few critics files in there, so now, my machine does not start. I don't know how they got there because they were in the trash administrator and I always use a subordinate user account - for security reasons.

    Long story short, I tried to start my computer using the windows 7 installation disc which worked perfectly until I had to enter the product key. Unfortunately, the product key on the label of my laptop is for windows vista so I thought that it is not valid. I wonder if I can recover my product key of windows 7 from anywhere? Toshiba would have a record of what they could send me? I was informed by microsoft that I get from Toshiba.

    To complicate things, I bought the laptop in Ireland, but now lives in South Korea, so I can't at home get the product key.

    I have the Toshiba DVD upgrade, the product key would be there?

    Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Toshiba does not provide a unique product for the Windows system keys.
    Toshiba offers own recovery disks / averages in order to recover the laptop back to factory settings.

    Windows system which is part of the image of Toshiba is already enabled and does not require the additional serial key.
