Satellite Pro A60 - confused about upgrading RAM

Hello..
I updated my PSA65E-01201SEN RAM: 256 MB to 1.2 GB (over 1 GB). Now I want to increase by more than 1 GB. Apparently, in the sheet it says:
1 x slot memory extension
more,
Standard system memory: 256 MB
maximum scalability: 2 048 MB
data bus width: 64-bit
technology: DDR RAM
expansion module sizes: 128, 256, 512, 1 024 MB

I'm a little confused:
(1) is the maximum scalability of 2 GB includes the "system memory" 256 MB?
(2) if the top expansion module size is 1 GB, how the hell I'll reach 2 GB, as I have just 1 slot memory?

help is welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Luis,.

From what I've been able to find out the A60 series comes with 1 on-board RAM module X (256 MB) and an expansion slot that can take a maximum of 1 GB of RAM which gives a maximum of 1.25 GB RAM.

I checked this on some sites web non-Toshiba as well and they all list the same details.

I think that the 2048 Mb you can be well cite an error in the list of specifications. As you say, it is not possible to reach this value with one slot available.

Kind regards

    Any recommendation?
    Any help would be appreciated muchly.

    Hello

    It of not possible to change the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.
    This graphics card supports up to 64 MB shared memory. The graphics card gets this value of main memory if it s needed.

    The possibility to upgrade the memory of this device is something different.
    You can upgrade the memory to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) and these modules should work.
    PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)

  • Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrade HARD drive

    I want a bigger hard drive, but xp home edition preinstalled. If I change the hard drive I don't think that the recovery disc would work to re install xp. How can I do this without having to buy a new version of windows? Oh, it's a portable satellite pro spa10.

    Sorry, but why you are suggesting that the recovery CD will not recognize the new HARD drive?
    The fact is that if the BIOS will recognize the new HARD drive then you will have no problem for the recovery and the installation of the OS.

    If you want to upgrade the HARD drive, you must use a compatible. Then everything simply initialize-towards the top of the recovery CD and the operating system will install on the new HD disc.

  • Satellite Pro 2100: Question about upgrade HARD drive

    Hello
    ICH have a Satellite Pro 2100 with a capacity of 40 GB HDD. Now I want wo upgrate with a 100 GB or 120 GB HARD drive. Is it supported? Where is the upper limit of the capacity of support? Is there something I need to look out? Are there special attributes that am I looking for?

    prior to thank you for your support

    Hello

    It is very unlikely that the 100 or 120 GB HARD drive works.
    I guess that the BIOS will not recognize these hard disks.
    I don't officials documents found on the hard drives supported, but I think that the 60 GB HARD drive is the biggest HARD drive that works on the Satellite Pro 2100.

    The original RAM module apart from the number PA3313U-1M1G (1024 MB PC2700). It is always recommended to use tested and original pieces, as many users have a problem after the purchase of the module to different inexpensively.

    In my opinion, you can buy cheaper and test. If there is no problem you can return.

  • ATI error and no windows - Satellite Pro A60

    Hello

    When I start my computer, I get a blue error screen c0000415
    A quick google reveals that this is one of these: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832324

    "So what are you bothering? I hear you cry - the problem I have is, in getting this error of the other (also the ATI card based) I stuck my red disc in and erased everything - including the windows... and CFLA error occurs before windows installs and SafeMode (-that worked perfectly before) does not work because windows is not installed!

    Oh the fun.

    "I think it's a hardware error" - Yes so don't I... However, before the reinstall and get it back, I could work to the computer in safe mode and videos played very well with the resolution and full color. Am I missing the point if I think a video work is an indicator of a working video card?

    I admit that I'm perplexed indeed. I'll try to dig up an old Windows 98 drive, but I don't know how much this will help, because the only copy of XP I have is on the recovery disk... [Return to step 1]

    Any suggestions much appreciated - thanks in advance...

    [it's a satellite pro A60 w / 256 +?] RAM, processor celeron 2.8 Ghz, ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 etc...]

    Hello

    As suggested in document of Microsoft this problem can occur if an ATI Radeon 7200 graphics card has been installed on your computer and the driver that is supplied with this adapter may not work correctly with Windows XP.
    The installation of SP2 should help.

    This statement of Ms. says it all! It of not a hardware problem but it is a compatibility issue with Windows XP (without SP2) and the driver radeon ATI 7200.

    You should try to get an original CD of Windows XP with or without SP2.
    The software callednLiteallows you to create a Windows clean boot CD and add the patches MS and service packs for this CD.

    Then, you can try to boot this CD and after installing the OS, you need to update or change the graphics driver!

    Thank you and a Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you on this forum.

    Ah, just another thing I'm not clear on.

    The NEW RAM replaces the existing, in other words I have remove the 256 and replace it with the 512? Reading the user manual, it is not clear and talks about expansion module. Probably, it would be obvious if I opened it to the top, but I'd rather not at this stage.

    Thank you

  • Memory should what upgrade I buy for my Satellite Pro A60?

    Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A60 PSA65E, who currently has 192 MB of RAM and 2.8 GHz Celeron processor.

    My problem came when I tried to install Adobe Creative Suite 2 on it, but it would not allow me to do so because he needed 384 MB of RAM to run it. I was wondering if someone could tell me what RAM upgrade is compatible with my machine and if it inserted in another port or if I have to get out the old and replace?

    Thank you

    Hello

    your laptop is 256 MB internal memory, I'm not sure why it shows only 192 MB. This internal memory can be replaced only by a technician. But you also have a currently unused memory slot, in which you can place a maximum of 1024 MB of RAM.

    Here are the modules from Toshiba lets you:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)

  • Module of RAM not recognized on my Satellite Pro A60

    Hi Robert,.

    I guess your A60 has two RAM ports, then I suggest that Exchange you the two RAM modules autour to check if the port rather than the modules itself that is the source of the problem.

    I hope that you took of anti-static precautions before manipulating the new RAM module. They are easily damaged by a discharge of static electricity.

  • Satellite Pro A60 - Windows XP shows / use only a part of RAM available

    Hello guys!

    I am facing strange problems with one of my two A60s. I just upgraded two of them with 1024 MB of RAM the same. One works perfectly, but the other will show me only 410 MBs in Windows. The BIOS indicates the correct size. I changed the RAM from one to the other, but this strange error is always present. The version of the BIOS has been updated to 1.90 and has Windows XP SP2.

    Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Is there an easy way to put the management of RAM in Windows?

    Thank you in advance!

    Ralf

    It s very strange.
    I found that an additional Satellite Pro A60 info has been delivered with a different hardware configuration.
    Some A60 Pro comes with an internal memory of 512 MB and others with only 256 MB internal memory.
    In addition, the internal memory modules cannot be deleted and there is only one slot for memory upgrade.

    But I put t know why the OS shows only 410 MB

    Oh, I forgot to mention that the graphics card, also use the part of the main memory and, therefore, the operating system of shared memory could indicates a value of different memory.
