• Should I upgrade my RAM? MUSE is slow.

  I am trying to decide one or the other...

  1. Either I don't have enough RAM
  2. Muse has memory leaks / is a Devourer of enormous resources

  I'm on one of the most powerful iMac in my Department and it should run all software very well even for a power user... but Muse drags so slowly, that I'm sitting around watching the beach spin ball half the time.

  Muse v.10 build 948, CL 767416

  AIR runtime: 3.2.0.2070

  iMac Intel Core i5 to 3.1 GHz

  8 GB at 1333 MHz DDR3

  I have 8 GB of RAM in this machine is obvious, an upgrade of RAM would contribute to what that either - but I am unhappy that Muse will not work effectively / fluid out of the box.

  Working on a file of Muse with about 50 pages... any movement or opening a page rows and shows the rotation long beach ball too long. Please advise?

  I trust that this software will have significant updates of its use of resources.

  Here's an update in case someone is followed by this thread.

  I sent my MUSE folder to Adobe and they took a look and recreated what I was trying to do and had no problem. (MY MUSE was incredibly slow on some pages...) 10-minute spinning beachball).

  I made different pages on my site and things were good. I've recreated just page piece by piece I had problems with (thinking that there is something evil or corrupt on this page) and all is well until now.

  Thanks Adobe (and Lance from Adobe) to look in my folder.

  Glenn,

  Personally, I would invest nothing in this computer that cannot be used in a new computer as well. He is 4 years old and the time is fast approaching you want at least a processor i7-920 + system, in particular with CS5 and imminent MPE. You have 3 G of memory, you can switch to 4, but gains would not as big and the overall investment is to a value of zero when you go to DDR3. I'd like to save for a new i7 system.

• Satellite S1800-100 is very slow - should I upgrade RAM?

  Hello

  I am running Windows XP with Service Pack 3 on a Satellite 1800-100.

  The performance is really bad, worse than when I first purchased and installed XP a few years ago. The current installation of XP is only a few weeks and I don t run a large number of programs in the background - just basically Avira antivirus.
  However, when I try to open Firefox or even explore also slow down the machine becomes real and it takes forever to open a program.

  I'm already looking for more RAM (128 MB only here right now) but also I can t remember the performance WHICH is bad when I installed XP for the first time.

  So I thought that maybe I should upgrade the drivers and installed some drivers of
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU

  But it runs more slowly.
  Does anyone have an idea how to top the performance of the laptop in addition to buying more RAM?

  Thanks a ton for any suggestion.

  Hello

  The upgrade of RAM would bring you even more performance. 128 MB is not a lot of RAM and it should be updated for Windows XP.
  As far as I know the laptop supports up to 512 MB of RAM and you need to pass it to 512 MB. Then Windows XP run faster.
  You need RAM PC100 with each 256 MB module.

  To improve performance, you can do many things. For example defrag your HARD drive, clean the startup folder and the msconfig, disable all services that you need in services.msc, disable Visual effects,.
  If you're looking for here in the forum and on Google, you can find more.

• Upgrade of RAM for Satellite Pro S300-11

  Hello
  I have this netbook for two years now and I need to add more memory RAM, it has 2 GB and is capable of having up to 8 GB.
  I went to two local stores to buy a memory stick, but they are not able to find my netbook to their suppliers, so that they have no idea what memory modules could go well with my pc. I know that the installed RAM module is a DDR2 at 800 MHz. So, any module of ram with these specifications should work correctly?
  Another question is if my computer is able to read up to 8 GB or I have to upgrade the BIOS (I have not updated, so I have one pre-installed).
  Thanks for your reply and sorry for my English!
  See you soon!

  Hi manelfera,

  The laptop has Intel GM45 chipset and the chipset supports up to 8 GB of memory. This means that you can install 4 GB module in both memory slots. As you already wrote DDR2 800 MHz is the correct specification.

  Theoretically, each module with this specification will work, but I recommend the purchase of high quality of Kingston for example modules. I have good experiences with this brand :)

  Updating the BIOS is not necessary for the upgrade of RAM so you can keep the current version.

• HARD drive and upgrade of RAM for Satellite A200 1AE

  Hello

  I plan to upgrade my RAM and HARD drive.
  I am currently using a 120 GB SATA HDD and 2x512mb ddr2 667 Mhz (out of the box state).
  My questions are:

  [1] will a WD Scorpio blue work SATA II 500 GB HARD drive at 5400 RPM on my laptop? If this is not the case, what is the maximum GB for my laptop's HARD drive (if there are any)?
  [2] a 2x2gb ddr2 667 Mhz will work? If not, what is the maximum?

  BTW, the Specs are Intel Core2Duo 1.73 Ghz T5300's family Vista premium sp2 (preloaded) OS, BIOS Phoenix version 1.20, Chipset intel 945 (I think).

  Thanks in advance.

  > 1] will a WD Scorpio blue 500 GB 5400 RPM SATA II drive HARD work on my laptop?
  It should work since the SATA controller is not limited to any size of HARD drive.

  > [2] Will work 2x2gb ddr2 667 Mhz? If not, what is the maximum?
  The laptop supports Intel® 945 GM chipset. The upgrade of RAM depends on the chipset.
  AFAIK the 667 Mhz Rams should be clocked at 533 Mhz
  But you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB)

• Upgrade of RAM for Satellite Pro L300-1cz

  Hello!

  I want to upgrade the RAM on a L300-1cz. What I have to buy Toshiba memory or can I use [Kingston Value RAM KVR800D2S5 / 2G | http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KVR800D2S5_2G.pdf] (standard 256 M X 64 Non - ECC 800 MHz 200 - pin SODIMM Unbuffered (SDRAM DDR2, 1.8V, CL5))

  Hello

  I think you can use the modules of memory from different manufacturers.
  But you must choose the right with straight plug modules;

  As far as I know the RAM module should support this specification:
  * 800 MHz (PC2-6400) 200 - PIN SODIMM DDR2 *.

• Upgrade of RAM for Satellite Pro 3400

  Hello

  I own a laptop Satellite Pro 3410, it has pentium celeron 600, 64 MB of ram and 13 '' dstn display. I want to upgrade my ram, somewhere, I read that it can be improved with 256 MB, so that there then 320Mo. My question is now, what I have to use 2 pieces of 128 MB of ram or can I use 1 piece of 256 MB of ram. The point is a friend gave me a 256MB ram for PC laptop (pc-100) toshiba, I put it and it seems to work (win2k showed me the 320Mo compleet), but can it be problems, using this a big RAM?

  I hope you can help

  Katja

  Hello

  I think you mean a Satellite Pro 4310?

  Normally it only uses the modules of memory up to 128 MB. But if your laptop is running with this 256 MB module, there should be no problem.

  Good bye

• Qosmio F30-125 - how to upgrade the RAM?

  Hello

  I have a model PQF30E Qosmio and who seek to increase the RAM.

  I read that this model can take 2 GB max as opposed to the PQF32E which can take 4 GB.

  I have the standard 512 MB installed at the moment and when I open the back I have only a slot for expansion. Should I put a 2 GB upgrade in this slot I can not find a 1.5 GB upgrade or is it possible to delete the original 512 and replace with2 x 1 or 1 x 2 GB.

  Thank you
  Ben

  Hi mate

  What boarder said is right.
  The user manual provides information on the possible RAM upgrade and there is also an instruction how to put the RAM in the slots.
  Usually it s not difficult and can be done very quickly.

  View just the words to the subject of the upgrade of RAM max;
  It's material and limited to Intel chipset limitation.
  If you want to know how much RAM is possible then check your type of chipset and visit Intel for chipset details.
  In the datasheet, you can find the specifications of the chipset.

• I would like to upgrade the RAM of the Satellite A100-803

  Hello

  I want to upgrade the RAM of my Satellite A100-803, which uses actually PC2-533, at 4 GB.

  Can I upgrade to PC2 - 667?
  Do I need Dual-Channel?
  One advises on what brand or the best model to use?

  If I not mistaken and for what I could see around the internet, I should be able to switch to 4 GB PC2-667 and Dual-Channel should not be necessary. But an expert of confirmation would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  Best regards.

  Javier.

• Satellite P10 804 will not accept the upgrade of RAM

  Apologies, this is it is a bit long and also if this question has been covered elsewhere here: I had a good nose autour and have not found something that seems to help.

  In any case, I had a Satellite P10 804 during these past years, I bought in the United Kingdom.

  Quite early in my time with this laptop, I upgraded the RAM. It was 3 or 4 years ago, when memory was not as cheap right now, so I bought just a single 1 GB module. P10-804 will take up to 2 GB of RAM.

  The P10 804 came with 512 GB as standard in two modules. My upgrade means I got 1.25 GB, which was in very good health. Everything was fine until the end of last year when the defective laptop; I followed the fault in module 1 GB of RAM. It was a bit awkward since I now live in New Zealand. However, the provider of the RAM was very professional, stood by their warranty, and we arranged a swap. RAM prices had fallen, so I bought another module of 1 GB at the same time upgrade the laptop completely.

  Now the problems really started. The laptop would not simply work with the new installed RAM modules. It would work with one alone, nor even less with my old configuration of a module of 1 GB and 256 GB module. Start and run for five minutes before a freeze; white screen with fans roar; blue screen; frozen screen normal with strange objects; No start at all. everything.

  Everything that works now is my original 256 MB module (his partner disappeared). This leads me to assume that I don't have some sort of hardware failure?

  1 GB modules are DDR333 SODIMM, CL2.5. This laptop will also have the DDR266 modules, and it has been suggested to me, lower speed might work. I can try this option since the RAM prices are * really * low now, especially if I get confirmation of this as a valid strategy possible.

  The laptop BIOS is updated to v2.00 (maybe?), and I also upgraded the HDD to a 120 GB unit (this works very well and is partitioned for XP and Linux). And from time to time I empty the fan.

  Any advice welcome. Thanks for reading.

  Reading your message, I came to the conclusion that this issue must be linked to the new RAM module and this module is malfunctioning or is not fully compatible with your laptop.

  The P10 can be upgraded to 2 GB, so you should be able to use two single RAM 1 GB modules

  So it must be a module problem

• Satellite P300D - 21K: Windows 7 64 bit upgrade level & RAM Upgrade advice

  Hi, I need some advice on upgrading my laptop. My laptop is a:

  Toshiba Satellite P300D - 21K
  Model No.: PSPD0E - 00H003EN

  I think of upgrading to windows 64-bit (lucky students can do that for A £30!) to help speed up my laptop. I use some CAD applications, so 64-bit should help with the speed of these applications. Question:

  (1) are there reasons that someone could advise me not upgrading to 64-bit with my laptop?
  (2) I need to update my RAM at least 4 GB for 64-bit. I currently have 3 gig, so I guess I need to replace my stick of 1 GB with a 2 gig stick? Or did I put a 4 GB stick with my existing 2 gig stick?
  (3) going to upgrade my ram and operating system void my warranty?

  1 in my opinion there is no reason why you should not install version 64-bit OS. Just be sure that all 64-bit drivers are available on the Toshiba support page.
  I imagine at the moment for Win7 drivers are still not available and you have to wait.

  2. According to the specifications of the laptop Satellite P300D - 21 K can handle with 4 GB 2x2gb RAM max is the maximum that you can do about it.
  2 GB compatible RAM has PA3513U-1M2G part number.

  3 No.

• Upgrade of RAM 2 GB of Crucial on Qosmio G20

  Hello.

  I bought an upgrade of RAM (2 x 1 GB SODIMM) 2 GB for my Crucial G20-108, listed here http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpar...9C324BA5CA7304 but chips won't work in my machine.

  The first set, I bought and installed, cannot start Windows and MemTest86 didn't immediately. I tried each piece individually and both together, the BIOS (1.20) recognizes the amount of RAM, but Windows does not start (Gets a few seconds and crashes) and as I said, MemTest86 failed.

  RMA I got them and and got a new set, but they are not exactly the same way. The chips are listed as PC2-4200-s-444-12-A0, then DDR2 533 CL4. I noticed that the 512 Mb chip work that I have in my machine is listed as PC2-4200 s-444-10-A0. 12-A0/10 - A0 is important at all? I'm not sure that the 2 sets of RAM from Crucial, which should be compatible with my machine, must both have the same defect, is there a BIOS of RAM setting I missed that I need to address before they will work?

  Settings of RAM seem non-existent when I look in the BIOS upgrade to 1.30 will add additional options such as schedules or speed?

  Any advice would be appreciated,

  Steve

  Hello

  You haven t missed anything
  After you insert the memory modules, the BIOS should recognize all of the memory and the laptop should boot correctly.

  If this is not possible then the RAM modules are faulty or not fully compatible!

  Modules Qosmio G20-108 supports DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM
  Check this box:

  [Details of memory for Toshiba Qosmio G20-108 | http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=14845&ft=m&st=3]

  On the page of Toshiba Europe-> Option & accessories you will also find the compatible modules.

  My recommendation is: use the new modules recommended by Toshiba

  See you soon

• Upgrade of RAM for a Satellite A100-847

  I want to upgrade the RAM for my A100-847 of my current 512 MB by adding another module for 512 MB, but I face a problem of compatibility because looking at the manual only compatible modules is as follows:
  256 MB: PA3389U - 1 M 25
  512 MB: PA3412U - 1 M 51
  1 GB: PA3411U-1M1G
  I tried to look for a module with these codes, but I have found none in Romania. I could find a module of another manufacturer with the same specifications, but I don't know if these would work properly.
  So I need some advice.

  Thank you

  Bobby

  Hello

  the manufacturer that you saw? Will they have the same characteristics, then they should go up. The best decision would be to take some kingston or the essential modules. They have been tested to work well with toshibas, just so consider buy some kingstons with the specifications of the original toshiba modules and have fun with them.

  In the case of some other question just ask.

• Laptop computer ZE5700 The wired connection is not picking up or connection/Can the upgrade of RAM at 2-4 GB

  Help, please. I am preparing my very old laptop that I found in my garage for a work at home job contract. I decided to see if this is true for her to make the laptop to meet the minimum requirements before as I have buy a modernized one. I have no problems with the Wi - Fi connection and I wish it was one of the requirements. But the laptop should be wired. I plugged my ethernet cable in the assigned location, it shows that it is running, because there is a green/yellow light in the port. Even if the CAP is turned on and is, it does not show as a network.

  Also can I take the RAM at least 2 to 4 GB

  Thank you

  Hi TheresaMetel:

  Thank you for your inquiry.

  I hope you had a good weekend.

  I send a link to a document on "Ethernet" click here, click the link for the Internet solution and connection to the local network using an Ethernet cable.

  Your computer is a CTO model and therefore there is no online prescription.

  I provided you a link to the user guide, click here.

  I am also you send a link to a document ' Memory Specifications and upgrade of RAM (Windows XP, 2000 and 98) " click here.

  I hope these are useful to make your decision.
