Satellite P20 - GPV - upgrade memory makes the computer slow

My laptop came with 2 x 256 MB of ram. I bought 2 x 1 GB ULTRA of Tiger Direct. My computer is slower than before, so I went back to them. Should I buy memory Kingston as suggested by Toshiba? Should it make a difference?
What I would see as a difference?

Hello

In my opinion you shouldn't t buy any bars of memory without name because for the most part the performance of the memory are not good.
You should always use the modules of memory recommended by Toshiba.
Kingston memory modules are very nice with good performance.
On the Toshiba site, you will find the taken in charge and compatible.

  • Upgrading the RAM. Can I use the old memory of the computer for the newly purchased computer.

    My old computer which does not has RAM 1.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR @ 106 MHz (2, 5-3-3-7), while the anther computer, I bought recently has RAM DDR 400/128 bits. Can I use the old memory of the computer for the newly purchased computer. Are they compatible? Thank you

    Hello nonmae,.

    You must use DDR 400/128 bit RAM in your system. @ 106 Mhz DDR is quite old. It's also much slower than the DDR 400. RAM is not particularly expensive today and it is always best to stick to that suggests your PC user manual.

    You must use the same speed too, if you use a lower speed, the memory of your PC by default at the lowest speed, thus slowing the PC

  • The internal memory of the computer when using iTunes.

    Anyone know if I add a movie or a song on iTunes and remove it from the computer, it still occupies the memory of the computer?

    Thank you for your help.

    Memory and storage are two different things.  The memory is that the system uses to power the computer, so I don't think it's relevant to your question.  Memory is not used for a song or video, to less than the Mac used to play the song or the video.

    For storage, if the iTunes Media in your iTunes library folder has the only copy of the video or the song file, then delete it from your iTunes library by selecting the option to send files to the trash AND empty the trash, will remove it from your storage space.

    However, if you have added this video or song manually (from outside of iTunes), iTunes is configured by default (for Mac) to make a copy of the song file or a video for use in its iTunes Media folder.  iTunes leaves the original file where you added since.  Thus, you can have a second copy of the song or the video file in the storage of your computer.  You can do a search using a Finder window on the song or the name of the video, to see if there is still a copy in storage of your computer after the removal of the iTunes library.

  • WIM files taking up the memory of the computer

    I have a HUGE amount of WIM files taking up my space of memory in the computer.

    Is it safe to delete these files, and if not, what are the effects in this way?

    Thank you

    These WIM may have been created when you eventually updated your system, usually backup files, somewhere along the line, but cannot say with certainty.  I recommend delete and save them to an external hard drive just in case the main C drive.  I don't think you'll see any bad effects.

  • How can I make the computer sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity on the logon screen?

    Original title: How to sleep in the login screen?

    How can I make the computer sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity on the logon screen? Currently, on the login screen, white screen, but the computer is still running. Sleeping would save a lot of energy because the computer is used most of the time.

    Hi Phil.Ganchev,
     
    Using a laptop or a desktop computer?
     
    The reason for this question is, if you have a plugged AC adapter you must set power accordingly as opposed to laptop settings battery operated.
     
    I suggest you head over to the power settings and create your own power management.
     
    a. power by clicking on the Start button, open the Options click on the Control Panel, clicking system and security, and then clicking Power Options.

    (b) according to the plan you want to change, click on change plan settings.

    c. on the parameters of change in the plan page, choose "Put the computer to sleep" that you want to use when your computer is running on battery (if applicable) and when it is plugged.
    (Change in 5 minutes for the batteries and sector)

  • Satellite P20 S203: how to change the graphics card memory

    My laptop has 32 MB graphics card I was wondering how I would improve my Vram to 64. What I do how would be, where would it be and what I have to install?

    Thank you

    To my knowledge, the Satellite P20 S203 was delivered with a nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 32 MB of video ram. But this isn't a shared memory graphics card!
    In this case, you cannot change the settings of video ram.

    In addition he s is not possible to upgrade or replace the graphics card. Unfortunately, there is nothing to see ;(

  • Upgrade memory on the Satellite NB10t-A-102

    Hello

    on NB10t-A-102, I want to change the memory and the increase of 8 GB or 16 GB
    Can make us this change?

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB, and obviously with 4 GB of RAM inside it is already on the maximum.

    Unfortunately on this forum we do not have much info on this new machine, but in the past we discussed on older models with 1 GB of RAM maximum but in the end, it was possible to update.

    If no one can help with this I recommend you try the upgrade with 8 GB of RAM to check how it works. Number of RAM you should test is PA5104U-1M8G.

    If possible, send feedback.

  • Upgrading memory on the Satellite L500D - 13 c

    Hello!

    I own a laptop Satellite L500D - 13 c and I am considering upgrading memory 2 x 2 GB 2 x 4 GB RAM. According to a specific model list on the accessories compatible with the 4 GB of PC2 DDR2 (800 MHz) memory, item # PA3670U-1M4G, is recommended by Toshiba.

    What I want to know is if this module specific memory (with article # PA3670U-1M4G) is the only compatible module for my laptop or if I could get and buy bars of memory corresponding (and hopefully cheaper) with the same specifications (800 mhz, etc.) without damaging my PC?

    TI would appreciate some advice on this.

    See you soon!

    Hello

    You can also buy another module of memory with the same specifications. Fact is that some modules at low cost and without name can be initially responsible for compatibility issues. It may happen starting cell phone s display will be remains black.

    Therefore I recommend you to use high quality modules and Kingston is one of the best manufacturers of memory modules.

    I understand that you want to save your money but you buy it now and it should work properly.

  • Upgrade memory on the Satellite L300 problem

    My laptop is a Satellite L300 PSLB8A 047004. I bought a kit of 2 x 2 GB modules and inserted carefully following the instructions (they clicked in place). When the computer reboots, the power light comes on, the fan was on but no other activity and the screen stayed black, no drive activity. Initially, there was 1-off 1 GB PC2 - 6400S installed module, and I checked the news is PC2 - 6400S. I took and put back in but same result. When I put the original module in it worked fine.

    Then I tried one of the new modules instead of lucky one but not original so the original module is now back in and everything seems OK.
    Any suggestions please? If there is damage of module to be managed, then the original 1 GB module should also be damaged, because this is one that s been managed at best.

    KeV.

    This is a typical behavior of compatibility issues. The modules you have, I mean who is the manufacturer?

    I recommend you to use high quality of Kingston or Toshiba products. For more information about compatible modules for your laptop computer, visit http://www.kingston.com/worldwide/default.asp

  • Question about upgrading memory on the Satellite L20-181

    Hello

    The recommended minimum is memory for Windwows XP 256 MB and I don't understand how the company could get far notebook sale with integrated graphics with 256 MB shared system memory.

    In any case, I want to improve my Toshiba and my intention is to buy 512 MB more memory, such as http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=20049&ft=m&st=3

    Will it work properly with 768 MB or I will only buy the same pair: 256 + 256, 512 + 512?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    First of all, you are not right. Windows XP also works with the low value of the memory.
    But of course it depends on memory so the OS applications will run more rapid or slower.

    However, the fact is that you can upgrade the memory on your laptop and it doesn't mater if the modules have the same value of memory or not.
    In this case, the laptop came with 256 MB and you can install detox the second module of 512 MB memory.

    PS: I recommend installing the 512 MB in the first slot and the 256 MB in the second Bank.
