Satellite U400-12th-Expand RAM 8 GB possible?

Hello

I have a U400-12F with 2x2gb DDR2 667 RAM.
The specifications of the computer says it only supports maximum load of 4 GB (2 GB in each slot).
I was wandering if this is really true or if I could put 1 4GB DDR2 667 for 6GB total, or 2 + 4 GB for 8GB.

Hello

I checked the specs on the Web from Toshiba site and Satellite U400-12F has Intel GM965 chipset. According to the specifications of the chipset you can check on the Intel page, the maximum RAM capacity is 4 GB (2 GB in each slot).

Sorry, but an upgrade to 8 GB is not possible, but usually 4 GB should be enough. ;)

  • Toshiba Satellite U400-14Z upgrade to a faster processor - which is the most rapid possible?

    Hello.

    I want to upgrade an old Toshiba Satellite U400-14Z (http://www.toshiba.eu/discontinued-p...lite-u400-14z/) a little by changing the CPU. Initially there is a processor Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 with FSB to 1066 MHz but I thought to put there P9700 or P9500. It seems that they are similar, specification is exactly, except the speed and the amount of memory cache level 2. The question is: would this work?
    I also found CPU called T9900, which is the fastest of the family. However, T-line requires more power than the line P, 25W to 35W in comparison. Is it possible that she would work in this phone?
    Maybe there's even some CPU more Rapids that would fit. Y at - it all? I'm looking for the maximum possible speed.
    Thank you for the answers.

    Hello.

    Maybe there's even some CPU more Rapids that would fit. Y at - it all? I'm looking for the maximum possible speed.

    I found Intel® Core 2 Extreme Processor QX9300 who might be compatible. It has 4 cores and a thermal power of 45W design, compared to P8400 of TDP 25W. I suspect that the cooling of this laptop is insufficient to be able to disperse the money.

  • Have 4 GB of RAM on Satellite U400 but says OS only have 2 GB

    Have recently downgraded notebook Toshiba Satellite U400 (model PSU44A-00J00C) of original Windows Vista business to Windows XP Pro (pack 3 update service) assistance of the system recovery discs. Have 4 GB of RAM installed on the laptop with 32-bit system and was reading that this amount with Windows Vista, but now the figure has decreased!

    I got the digits in the information system:

    Total physical memory: 4 GB
    Available physical memory: 2 GB
    Total virtual memory: 2Gb
    Available virtual memory: 1.96 GB

    My available physical memory should not read at least 3 GB? BIOS is reading at 4 GB. Have updated the bios and chipset without change.

    Want to tighten a little more memory to the computer, since I installed it - is the best I can get 2 GB?

    Thanks for your interest, look forward to your response.

    Hello

    My satellite U400 have 3 GB of DDR2 memory. (2 GB DDR Kingston PC5300 + 1 go)
    I tried to put 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB DDR2 PC5300 Kingston).

    Thank you.

    I can only imagine that you are using incompatible Ram. All compatible modules will be recognized correctly and you will be able to boot your laptop as usual.

  • Satellite U400-138: RAM works with 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz

    Hello

    I have Satellite U400-138 with 3 GB of RAM (2 + 1 GB sodimm modules)
    I have new kit 2x2gb sodimm-s Corsair PC6400(800MHz)

    When I install new modules, system reported that they are working on 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz,
    Maybe that's the problem BIOS chipset because that support this frequency.

    Help me, what to do, to run new modules on 800 MHz?

    Hey Buddy

    I doubt that it is a BIOS problem.
    The point is that the speed of the RAM can be lowered and locked by the FSB (front side bus)
    If the FSB supports only 667 Mhz then your RAM 800 Mhz will run only at 667 Mhz

  • Question about the maximum amount of RAM on Satellite U400-10J

    Hi all!

    2 weeks ago, I bought Satellite U400-10j.
    Now, I want to extend the RAM.

    This chipset is inside my laptop?

    Does he really support only 2 GB of RAM?

    Hello

    I wonder if you have checked the user manual installed which must be preinstalled on the laptop.

    In any case, as far as I know that the memory on U400-10J can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB).
    DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules are compatible and it seems that the Chipset Mobile Intel GL960 Express was built in.

    The question is...

    I want to upgrade my portable computer system memory 3 GB DDR2 (800 MHz) RAM to 4 GB of RAM DDR3 (1066 MHz), which is compatible or not?

    Respect,
    enteoana

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should follow specification not Intel and Toshiba. S Toshiba of info is based on own tests and facts.
    So, depending on the specifications of Toshiba for the GM45 Chipset it is clearly written:

    Min(on Board) wheel capacity - DDR2 800 MHz 0 MB / 8 GB max
    Type of extension of memory - DDR2 800 MHz 1 GB/2 GB/4 GB
    Type of module - SO-DIMM

    So if Toshiba write about 800 MHz modules, you must use the modules to them and not faster.
    You may be able to use faster too, but they do not work with the maximum speed, but not going down to 800 MHz.

    If you want to use max RAM amount use recommended and tested 2 x 2 Go DDR2-800 (PA3669U-1M2G).
    Indicated as compatible RAM, 4 GB DDR2-800 (PA3670U-1M4G).

  • Is satellite U400 - 17 H - possible to change some parameters of the screen?

    I bought my Satellite U400 - 17 H in Paris in spring 2009 with the hope to work on my laptop without eye discomfort. My laptop TOSHIBA Satellite A100 husband s has a very comforting display and I was hoping to find the same screen for the Advanced series of Satellite U400 - 17H. Unfortunately for me, my sore eyes as soon as they fill the screen.

    What should I do? Is there a setting in Notepad to change? Regarding the brightness, I put the lowest level.
    Can I trust filters of privacy (anti-spyware screen for the privacy of travellers) as filters for the radiation of the screen that hurts my eyes? http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/Adet.to?poid=435292 they are described as protecting only the laptop s screen not the eyes of the user s.

    Thank you!
    Elena

    Hey Lionel,.

    I put t really know what problems you have with Satellite U400 but friend of mine has it and in my opinion the screen is as good as other portable also. I put t see any problems with the quality of the screen, everything is really good.

    It is important that you use the native screen resolution and 60 Hz. This will give you the best image quality.

    About these privacy filters I've never used them but I doubt that will improve the quality

  • Satellite U400: Installation of XP and change the partitions

    Hello!

    First of all, sorry for my English, it is not good, I hope you understand me!

    I have a Satellite U400, and I would like to create a partition to install XP and have a dual boot with Vista.

    My first question is:
    I have seen that it is possible to download all the drivers xp... but they are the only upgrade, or in the book there is not driver for Xp in default?
    I need to install any drivers? And when I install it?
    Immediately after the first installation of XP?

    The second question is: I tried to resize the Vista partition, but Vista says it's impossible resize as much as I want to, because of file sharing and the snapshot.
    Can you help me solve this problem too?

    Thank you for your support!

    Bye!

    As to the question;

    (* 1) * first of all, you should check what model number you have. Driver Toshiba page provide XP drivers for 4 different U400 series.
    XP drivers that are released in the page are the most recent versions and if you want to use all the features of the laptop all the XP drivers must be installed after the installation of XP operating system.

    But before you try to install XP, you must include the SATA driver in XP. The SATA drivers are located in the Intel storage Manger.
    Please also check this forum for more information how to include the driver SATA in XP operating system.

    (* 2) * I guess you cannot shrink the partition because Vista needs a part on the partition for paging.
    It is an OS feature that allows you to use the HDD as RAM temporal.

    Please visit this 3rd party for more details:
    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/Understanding-Windows-Vista-paging-file-size/

    In your case, I would leave a few more space on the partition to make sure that this feature might work properly.

  • Try to restore Satellite U400 with external ODD

    Hi, I'm fighting with my laptop trying to restore it to factory settings, my cd player died some time ago and I have been using an external.

    I tried to restart using the recovery disks in the external drive, it starts the process and wants the recovery disk set in the default cd player (one broken), also tried to restart the recovery of HARD drive and receive the same message to put the disc into the cd player?

    I also have a copy of windows THAT XP pro disk so I downloaded a program called wintousb and tried to boot and load a new copy of windows by the usb port, got an error about a missing file.

    Thank you

    Hello

    One of my friends owns a Satellite U400 and I tried to boot from the external USB CD/DVD drive, but this was not possible. I guess that there is no support on the side of the BIOS.

    I recommend you the Win - USB forum of possible solutions.

    In addition, you must make sure that the driver SATA is included because Win XP would not see the HARD drive without driver

  • Satellite U400 will not usually start upward

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-217 (PSU44E) running Windows 8.

    Worked fine until a week ago. Now, when I turn it on, the lights are, there is a memory hard drive spin (1 second) - and then nothing. Above the keyboard lights stay on, but the screen remains black.

    I read a use Reset where you take the battery and the power cable on and press and hold power for 30 seconds, then plug the power cable in, starting at the top, stop, reinsert the battery and start again.

    However, the machine still primer not after 30 seconds the hold button. I always get just the lights and nothing else.

    However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out all 30 or more.

    It's boring - ideas or suggestions very welcome.

    Thank you very much

    KaiBosh

    > However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out every 30 or more.

    In my opinion, you should first check the HARD drive
    A friend of mine installed Win 8 on the new computer laptop from another manufacturer
    After a while that the laptop will not start I thought its something wrong with the card mother, but in the end it was just a HARD drive failure

    To be honest I n don't know if his only problem disk HARD but in my opinion, the HARD drive is one of the first pieces that need to be checked
    OK, in the worst case, it could be possible that dysfunction of this mobo.
