• PC133 is suitable for Satellite Pro 4600 memory upgrade?

  Hi all

  I'm looking for an extra 256 MB memory module for my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600. The specs say one module of memory PC100 is necessary, but I was wondering if the PC133 modules would work as well. If so, are there problems with the mixture of the modules (PC100 and PC133)?

  Thank you for your attention.

  According to the information on the site of very useful memory module, it should be possible to use the PC133 144 pin SODIMM modules.

  I found this info on this site:
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5778&ft=m&St=3

  In addition I don't recommend mixing the different modules. To my knowledge the lower speed module will decrease the performance of the memory. The two modules will work with the operation of the lower module.

• Satellite Pro 4600: how upgrade to Windows XP?

  Hello
  Someone gave me an old Satellite Pro 4600 which works very well with Windows Millennium, but this person lost the Toshiba CD with drivers and utilities. I can't find anything about Toshiba hard disk.
  Is it possible to upgrade to WIndows XP? I have the Windows XP Pro CD, but nothing for the drivers of Toshiba.

  Of course you can improve it to Windows XP Home edition.

  I checked the download page of Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com and it has listed many drivers of Windows XP Home edition.

• Satellite Pro 4300 - memory upgrade problem

  Hello

  I know that the issue has been already discussed several times, but it seems that none of the solutions or suggestions posted earlier apply to my situation.
  I recently bought an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300. The laptop has a slot filled memory of 64 MB module of the system's total memory was 128 MB.
  Because in my opinion, the system has worked to slow down, I decided to buy an additional memory module. I bought 128 MB - module TOSHIBA PA3005U k and placed in the slot B

  I was very surprised when I found that, after the upgrade, Windows showed that the total memory is 192 MB.
  When I put the 128 MB in the slot module is and the old module of 64 MB in the slot B - the surprise was even bigger, given that windows showed only 128 MB.

  I first thought that the slot B is defective, but in this case, it would be impossible to get in the first place the 192 MB. Then I thought that the new module of memory was either defective or it was 64 MB instead of 128 MB, but this option is also likely, according to my observations. Furthermore, I checked with EVEREST software system and it recognizes the new module as 128 MB module, but does not see the old 64 MB module.

  The situation is quite strange. Does anyone has an idea whay happens?

  Kind regards

  Sebastian

  To my knowledge, the 4300 Satellite Pro can be upgraded to 320 MB max.
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=5769&ft=m&St=3

  64 MB module which was fitted with your laptop should not be removable.
  So in this slot ONLY this 64 MB module could work properly.

  I know it's strange but the computer world is sometimes strange ;) you know :D

• Satellite Pro 4600: HDD upgrade question

  Hello.

  I decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro 4600 a 20 GB hard drive to a 60 gig.
  Only, I get a blank screen.
  When I go back my 20 original concert, it works well.
  Y at - it a special procedure for the Assembly of the larger disks?

  The BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly?

  Perhaps the size of the HARD drive is too big and so you have a few problems with the laptop.

  The fact is that not all HARD drive sizes are supported and the BIOS recognizes all drives, if the size is too large. Therefore, you should try a smaller HARD drive

• Satellite Pro L10 Memory Upgrade

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro L10 Celeron M Processor 360 1.4 GHz / XP HE / 256 MB / 40 GB / 15TFT / DVD-CDRW / OneNote. I wanted to upgrade the RAM, and I noticed that in the manual it says:

  Before installing a new module memory 512 MB do not forget to remove already installed memory modules.

  Does that mean that I can not install a 512 MB module and more the 256 MB is already a total of 768 MB?

  Thanks for any advice,

  Luis

  Hi Luis,.

  The specifications of your laptop indicates that it can accept up to 1 024 MB of RAM. If you have 2 RAM slots, so you can use any combination of modules of RAM as long as you do not exceed the maximum quotes. Of course if you have only 1 RAM slt then you must remove the original 256 MB module before insert you new 512 MB a.

• Satellite Pro 6100 memory upgrade

  I don't have a model of toshiba satellite pro 6100: PS610L-04NVN of Singapore and it currently has 256 MB of pc2100 memory installed and I am wanting to install another 256 so I have 512, but now I would like to know:

  Hello

  The memory module manufacturers are not very important. But of course the modules of memory "no name" performance not as good as other modules such as Toshiba or Kingston.
  Module properties are very important. This unit uses PC2100 DDR - RAM modules.
  I found compatible modules:

  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  If you use the same modules and only the speed is different so the laptop will use support at reduced speed.
  In your case a module supports and other at 266 MHz 333 MHz. The laptop will support at 266 MhZ.

• Satellite Pro 2100 memory upgrade

  I want to update my sp2100 with additional 512 MB RAM, but the online manual and online technical specifications contradict each other.

  The online manual says (on page 1-3) for the celeron
  memory models max is 1 GB (CSD) and for the P4 512 MB (DDR) models
  Online status product specifications up to 1 GB (DDR)
  When I take a glance on the extensions page 'by 'model' on the site of toshiba 512 MB modules are available for my laptop.

  My laptop: SP2100 P4-1700/256 / 30 G, 15XT, CDW, LM
  I guess it's the same as 'Satellite Pro 2100 P4 - M 1.7GHz/256MB/30GB/15"/DVD_CDRW/L/XPP sort' since that looks like mine more

• Satellite Pro 4600 RAM upgrade

  Hello

  can someone tell me if the max ram in the Satellite 4600 is 512 MB as stated in the manual, or was it just a limit due to the size of RAM available when the laptop was produced?

  any help would be appreciated

  Hello

  To my knowledge, you can switch the phone to max 512 MB.
  You can use 2 sticks of 256 MB set. It's possible!

  Memory PA3069U - 1 M 25 kit or just modules SODIMM 144 pin PC100 can be used

• Satellite Pro 4600 RAM upgrade - single location seems to work

  Hello!

  I am writing again to my RAM problem.
  I know that my phone can cope with 500 MB of ram.

  So I bought more to upgrade 256. But only a module of memory is recognized.
  Both work well: when an another reversal of slot a slot two, there is always a recognized...

  I must add this: when I have added first 256 MB for the original 128 MB module, everything worked ok, (I got about 300 MB of ram)
  I really wonder: is the slot 2 dead? How can I know if you think that is another problem, you have advice...? I am a bit lost...

  See you soon!
  Sylvain

  You are right. You can upgrade the RAM to 512MG max.
  In housing, you could inert max 254MB modules of memory SODIMM 144 pin PC133.

  Perhaps one slot is faulty and you should check this.
  Simply use a single module and check the two slots one after the other.

  If the module will be recognized in the two slots this means that the two slots are okay.
  These cases, it is possible of s that the two modules may not work together make for the compatibility issue.

• Satellite Pro 4600 memory problem

  What is the problem with this model? I bought second-hand laptop computer with 2 x 256 MB of RAM. After a few days memory module stops working (not recognized by the system), the next second module memory stops working. Problem is no slot, the two modules are defected some how. I bought memory as new ATC-SO815 AEC memory ten (www.memoryx.net), after one of the modules of memory stops working. BIOS is the latest Toshiba, version 2.60. Looks that mainboard burned some how the modules of memory, it's not good for me, I've already spent too much money for this laptop.
  What's wrong??? Is there a solution for this situation?
  I can't buy laptops and parts constantly, I don't have a lot of money.

  Hello

  How do you know that the problem is not associated with mainboard? I mean, you're a technician to know?

  As your machine is really old and you got no warranty on it, try the following:

  Install both modules of memory and make sure that the machine starts correctly.
  Download the latest knoppix (linux live CD), burn it to a CD, boot from this CD and choose at the start of the 'memtest '.

  Let memtest run for a day. If memtest reports no errors with your memory (you can see if the modules are defective), then your motherboard is faulty.

  So try this method and give feedback on your progress...

• Satellite Pro 4600: Question about upgrade RAM, CPU, motherboard

  Hello

  I have a SP4600 and because I love this machine, I want to give him the chance to stay with me - but unfortunately, it will only work by increasing its performance...

  Is anyone here has made some experiences in upgrading a SP4600 more than 512 MB of RAM?
  I know that this machine uses PC100 SD - RAM that is available up to 256 MB.
  But someone has tried successfully to put in PC133 memory? And if so, to were the limit?

  And more: what about the upgrade of the rest, for example, the CPU or the whole motherboard?
  Currently, his heart beats with 700 Mhz (Celeron). Would it be as easy as just another graft?
  Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?
  I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how the rest of the system can react on these interventions, in particular because the we-board-video and sound on board...

  I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

  Hello

  You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.
  If you use 133 Mhz modules, they will work only at 100 Mhz.

• Satellite Pro 4600 - how to extend RAM memory

  I want to increase the RAM in my old Satellite Pro 4600.

  -Someone could advise me which of the (actually existing) types of RAM cards are suitable?
  -The laptop has a maximum memory limit, or I can go up to 1 GB (for example)?

  Thank you.

  Of course, there are some limitations to upgrade!
  You can upgrade the memory on this laptop to max 512 MB (2 x256MB)!

  You can use PC133 144 pin SODIMM as mentioned modules [here: | http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=28447&ft=m&st=3]

  Memory locations must be placed at the bottom of the unit.

  -Turn the computer
  -remove the screws which fix the plug memory module cover
  -slide you finger under the hood a lift it off.
  -mount the fittings of modules in connectors of computers at a 45 degree angle, then press the modules carefully to ensure a good contact
  -push the module down so it lies flat. Locks on each side will engage in the place to fix the module.

• Satellite Pro 4600: question strange memory - memory seems

  Hi all

  for the second time in 18 months, I have strange problems with cards of memory (2 x 256 MB 144-Dimm PC133) of my satellite pro 4600: from one day to the other, the memory seems to reach "grilled" as the old light bulbs. Before that I used the satellite pro 4600 for several hours and the surface on the maps of memory had very hot.
  Y at - it anyone out there facing the same problems? On the replacement: should I better go for chips PC100 PC133 instead?

  Thanks in advance: Bernie

  Hello

  The fact is that recommend Toshiba using these memory modules:
  PA3003U - 1 M 03 32MB MEMORY KIT
  PA3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB MEMORY KIT
  PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB MEMORY KIT
  KIT MEMORY OF 256 MB PA3069U - 1 M 25

  It seems that PA3069U - 1 M 25 256 MB PC100 module.
  Well, as you have suggested that memory cards got very hot. In my opinion the fastest PC133 produce a high temperature, and this could be a problem.
