Satellite P300-19 q - processor upgrade

Running the stock P8400, probs am will update soon, I know that the natural way is probs the P9700 but [here | http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel _ (chipsets) PM45_Express.html] a T9900 and X 9100 as well compatible upgrades and 1-2 Quad-core processors, but they run to tensions over high, any1 know if this laptop has cooled enough for these processors?
Any1 has updated to one of them?

I have BIOS problems? I'll FRY my motherboard?

Cristo

Hey,.

Update CPU is not supported Toshiba so everything happens on your own risk. I guess no one has tested these CPUs P300 so hearts it risky s upgrade in my opinion and I don't it. I doubt that the cooling system, the motherboard and BIOS is also designed for these hearts high performance processors

Do you really need a quad core? Intel P8400 is still quite fast CPU and should enough for all applications. :)

  • Satellite P300-172 - you can upgrade to Windows 7?

    Hello

    so I got my Satellite P300-172 for a while now, Windows Vista has always done my head in, and now I think THAT my warranty ran out, I feel its time to upgrade to Windows 7, the other reason im trying to improve because vista is unable to search for updates guard saying: an error occurred when the new updates for your computer Code 80072EFD

    Can some give me advice in weather im going to be better that the upgrade to Windows 7 or do a detail clean installation of it please?

    Hello

    Personally, I prefer to do a clean install any kind of upgrade. If you decide to do an install of Windows 7, look for drivers on the Toshiba driver page.

  • Satellite P300-150: slow processor during the test with the id tool intel

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite P300-150 and it was working well in general... play lotro with few problems, but not in dx10 cos it chuggs as hell.

    I noticed he had a genuine problem of warhead of the crisis in the recommended settings, but thought it was just cos he couldn't do.

    But I downloaded the untilty of Intel processor id and he gave the following results... as you can see on the bottom 4 lines the processor is very upset with the expected results for the frequency and buses (fewer than half actually).

    Intel recommends if there is a huge gap, I need to contact the manufacturer... which brought me here.
    Any advice before contacting tech support directly?
    Just maybe I can play warhead after all! : o).

    Hello

    Satellite P300-150 was equipped with the Intel Core 2 Penryn T8300 processor.
    This processor supports Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology.

    Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology allows the system to dynamically adjust the tension and the processor core frequency. This means that the CPU doesn't always work with maximum performance, but only if it of needed. This helps minimize the heat dissipation and allows to secure the battery energy!

    The CPU seems to be slow check with the Intel ID tool ;)

  • Re: Satellite P300-150 and HDD upgrade

    Hi, my wife Laptop(P300-150) has developed a tick unit HDD1 - I would like to replace this 250 GB drive with other, larger capacity HARD drive. So my question is twofold

    (1) what is the maximum size of disk HARD of this laptop can tolerate? -500 GB?
    (2) does it matter if I buy a SATA - II - when the original disc in a SATA drive?

    Thanks in advance
    IMM

    Unfortunately there is no document where you can find this info on the maximum capacity of the HARD drive that can be used with the Satellite P300 but I m 100% sure you can use 500 GB on Satellite P300.

    I don't know if your laptop has a SATA II controller but, as far as I know, SATA II is backward compatible and I think you can use it on your laptop, but it runs with SATA that access speed.

    Upgrade disk SATA I HARD and you will be happy with it.

  • Satellite P300: Fingerprint software to upgrade your driver during each boot

    Check other closest son, one to my door problem on TPM?

    Laptop is running Vista Home premium.

    Any help would be thank you very much

    Hello Damo

    Maybe that my comment will be not so nice, but if you did the Microsoft updates and now the problem is why you ask for help on the forum of Toshiba. Before the updates from Microsoft, I check the list of available updates each time. Here you can see the Type of update. It can be recommended, important or NOT important.

    For me it is OK to install patches KBxxx but WHY install update to pre-installed software?
    It makes sense that something can go wrong. Laptop manufacturer has nothing to do with it and if you have any problem you have two possibilities: either you reuse own laptop with pre-installed software tested or send the request to Microsoft.

  • Satellite P300 - 133 WiFi card - upgrade to N

    Hello
    My laptop Satellite P300-133 was delivered with a WiFi Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG card.
    It has facilitated access to the PC card.

    I have acquired a new worthy of the N standard wireless router.
    It works very well with existing under the standard G laptop card.
    New Satellite P300 models are standard h.

    I would like to know if there is a map for the Satellite P300-133 that I can use to replace the original card for laptop with a corresponding also to the N standard.

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is has some network cards wireless standard 802.11 Draft N but also as far as I know the project WLan N needs 3-wire antenna.

    The other WLan standards such as 802.11 A, B or G need 2 antenna son and I imagine that the laptop has been delivered with 2 wired antenna and therefore the Draft N will not work in your notebook.

    However, you can try some external wireless network cards that would favour the Draft N

  • Re: Satellite 2430 402: the processor upgrade possible?

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite 2430 402 with P4 2.53 GHz.
    Is it possible to change the processor of a more recent/fast (up to 3.4 GHz)?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Maybe an other old Intel P4 CPU would work, but you will not be able to upgrade and use newer processors.
    Furthermore a stronger CPU would create more heat dissipation and this would lead to a temperature more high which could affect the functionality of the laptop.

    So even if a new CPU would be recognized correctly by the BIOS, it might affect the functionality of the laptop.

  • Satellite A100-811 T5600 processor upgrade > T7600

    Hello world!

    I have old Toshiba Satellite A100-811 (motherboard: Capell Valley (NAPA) CRB based on Intel 945 GM Express chipset, BIOS: Phoenix 6.00 upgrade) and I would like to replace processor for latest. My current CPU is Core 2 Duo T5600 @1. 83 GHz, Socket 479mPGA. I would like to install the Core 2 Duo T7600 @ 2.33 GHz. According to the website of Intel, are compatible with 945 GM and socket 479mPGA T7600 SL9SJ/PBGA479.

    link to the specifications: http://ark.intel.com/products/27257/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-T7600-4M-Cache-2_33-GHz-667-MHz-FSB

    I like to make sure if T7600 SL9SJ/PBGA479 will cooperate with this laptop.

    It would be a great help if you could give me some advice and confirm if it will be good choice :-)

    Mariusz

    No one will be able to tell if this new CPU would work correctly with this laptop because upgrades processors are not supported by one of the manufacturers of mobile phones.

    But from my own experience, updates are possible, sometimes.
    If the chipset would be compatible with the new processor, you've got a good chance to get it running.
    But I m not very good on the BIOS is supported, but usually, it shouldn't be a problem.

  • Satellite A200 - 23Q - issue processor upgrade

    Hello, I am from Greece, and I'm new here, I know im newbe...

    I have toshiba Satellite A200 - 23q (motherboard: intel gm965, cpu: t5550 (1, 8 GHz))...

    Currently, I bought Intel T7500 (2, 2 GHz)...
    Can I upgrade this laptop with this processor? What can the BIOS I've updated to?

    Sorry for my language faults...

    Thank you...

    Hello

    Generally, the upgrade of the CPU is not advisable.
    Firstly the BIOS that has been developed for this device has not been tested with different processors, and in the worst case the BIOS won't be compatible with the new processor.

    The Chipset must support this CPU;
    http://www.Intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/316273.PDF

    Chapter 1.1.1 processor support:
    The chipset supports processors Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile 533 Mhz and 800 Mhz FSB support.

    Processor Intel® Core 2 Duo T7500 supports 800 MHz FSB, so it should be supprted by the chipset.

    But once again; There are other reasons why upgrading the CPU doesn't have to be done;
    The BIOS is one of the reasons.
    The second reason is the higher heat dissipation which would be created by CPU more strong that could affect the functionality of the laptop as well.

  • Toshiba Satellite P300 - tools lost after upgrade to Win7

    Hello everyone,

    I bought an upgrade to Windows 7 for Toshiba.

    And I have 2 DVD:
    1 for the Toshiba upgrade and upgrade for windows 1.

    I ran the first 2 steps without problems.

    But when I ran the 3rd stage (which is the upgrade of the tools Toshiba), an error has occurred and I wanted you canceled (I even removed the CD from the CD drive), but the process kept running.

    In conclusion, the process went all the way but without tools are installed and when I want start the CD once again, it is as if all of the tools are already installed and it does not work.

    What can I do to make the system considers that the tools are not installed?

    Or where I can find another installer that runs the Toshiba tools on my system?

    Thank you very much.

    Laurent.

  • Satellite P300 - how to install Windows 7 64 bit?

    Hello

    I had a Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade for my P300 which was under Vista 32 bit. During installation, asked me if I wanted to install 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 and I chose 32-bit. Installation worked fine.

    Now (moths later) I decided that I would like to install the 64-bit version instead. I have an own (custom) settled by booting from the DVD, but it don't did me not option for the moment and all re-installed Windows 7 32 bit. I know that the 64-bit version is on the DVD (there is a folder for it) - how to start from the DVD and have it install the 64 bit version?
    I didn't format the drive when you perform the clean installation - if I do that it will give me the option?

    Thank you
    Ben.

    Great news, mate! :)

    Thank you for this feedback. I'll test it on my Satellite P300 I want to upgrade to Windows 7 too.

    In addition, an upgrade is possible to the same version: This means that Vista 32 bit can only be upgraded to 32-bit Windows 7. On 64 bit it s the same ;)

    I just bought my Satellite P300 - 27 X, but I discovered, that the processor is a bit slow... so now I'm looking at upgrading processor... I was looking at the dual-core intel P8700, P9500 or maybe T9300 (I generate 10W more heat)? ....

    Now, I would like to ask if its possible to upgrade processors written with? I have the same GM45 and socket BGA479... But the tension is differerent on these procesors....

    How to change that?

    Do I have to put the new bios-is there?
    What heat? I have the dissipaton of heat current OK for 2, 5 GHz processor?

    Generally the CPU upgrade is not supported and I think that it is not best solution for you.
    See also http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    I think CPU on your Satellite has enough power for all operations you need. To increase the performance of laptops, increase the RAM. As I see it can be upgraded to 8 GB.
