Tecra A4 recognize only 512 MB of memory

I added 512MB DDR RAM, in addition to the original 512 MB, but the laptop does not recognize all of 1 GB, only 512 MB. The two work packages - new is recommended module from Crucial.

Any ideas?

Hello

I know it sounds strange, but it seems that the two modules aren't compatible together!
Tecra A4 can certainly move up to 2 GB (2 x 1024 MB) of memory.

I find that Toshiba recommends the use of these modules:
PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 2M 51)
1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-2M1G)

I also found this site that provides compatible modules and supported for a Tecra A4
http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=11719&ft=m&St=3

It seems that you can use a 200 pin PC2700 (333 Mhz) DDR SODIMM modules and I really recommend to use the same i.e. to modules from the same provider.

  • Install with only 512 MB of memory

    Boss wants me to use Dreamweaver for web pages of work, her order Creative Suite 3 Design Premium

    When I went to install yesterday, a message displays that I need at least 1 GB of memory (just 512 Meg)

    Boss contacted, more memory was ordered.

    In the meantime, is there a reason why I should not ignore the message memory and go ahead and install?

    It is via the license key (I keep) and a DVD from the vault of the COMPUTER (which I need to go back) so I would go ahead and install it so I can return the discount... but only if it will not cause problems where 'something' didn't install correctly

    Anyone know if installing with 512 Meg is OK?

    I did some research and found the installation help number 800-642-3623

    Answer - installation will NOT correctly work with only 512 Meg

    PS - I was told that the 1 Gig on the installation screen also would not 'very good' is a good thing, I told my boss to order 2 each memory Gig 1 glue (and, when they arrive, I will check the stamping to check all are at the same speed and will try to add the new 2 sticks on the 256 Meg 2 existing sticks to see if the motherboard will see and use 2.5 Gig... and) If not, I'll just take the 256 glue out and send them to our surplus Department)

    Hello:

    There is nothing wrong with your PC.

    You bought a 1 GB kit which means you bought 2 x 512 MB = 1 GB chips.

    You need a 2 GB kit which is 2 x 1 GB chips.

    A common mistake made by many of us.

    Remove one of the chips and you should see that it has 512 MB to this topic.

  • Satellite A100-551 recognizes only 1 GB of RAM after upgrading memory

    Hello

    I just bought a memory of 1 GB of RAM to upgrade my Satellite 2 * 512 to 1 * 1024 + 1 * 512.
    The brand of memory is Crucial.

    Everywhere where I put my memory (1 GB in slot 1, 512 MB in the 2 slot or vice versa), my computer don't recognize only 1 GB.

    Some ideas on this concern?
    What I have to put the same size of memory in each slot, maybe?

    THX in advance for your help.

    Kind regards.

    If you only check this forum and search for RAM upgrade themes, you will see that the people who use essential modules reported on compatibility issues.
    If you want to upgrade to Ram successfully, please use the modules recommended Toshiba or Kingston.

    If you have to choose between price and compatibility compatibility and good work modules, you must choose. Compatible Toshiba DDR2 400/533 1 GB module followed the part number - PA3411U-1M1G.

  • Tecra S10-128: Win XP recognizes only 2.99 GB instead of 4 GB of RAM

    Hello

    I have a question.

    I have downgrade to XP Pro (with recovery CD).

    The system has 4 GB of ram (the BIOS screen confirm that), but in system properties I * only 2, 99 GB * of RAM.

    I know that XP pro recognize only 3, 5 GB, but why, 2, 99 GB? I have no understeand that.
    It is the memory used for video preformance?

    Note: I have the latest version of the BIOS available on the download page.

    Thank you

    Hello

    > I know that XP pro recognizes only 3, 5 GB, but why, 2, 99 GB? I don't understand this.
    > It's the little memory used for video performance?

    Yes, the 32-bit OS recognize only 3.2 GB of RAM. It is not uncommon that the 32 bits of the operating system
    The 210MB seems to be dedicated to the memory of the graphics card and therefore the Windows XP can use only 2.99 GB.

  • Windos 7 recognizes only 2.5 g 4g memory

    I installed on the system from loder (dell XPS Gen 5) to windows 7. I had upgraded the memory to the maximum of 4 Gig authorized. The machine recognizes 4 but said only 2.5 can be used. I understand that the windows 7 32 bit OS has this limitation. Can I install the 64 bit on 32-bit version? What determines which version can be installed on a machine. I used the 32-bit version just because I was running XP and thought that was appropriate.

    Changing from 32-bit to 64-bit requires that you do a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and you will lose all programs and have reinstall you all the applications.

    Since you say that your computer is an older computer, it maybe isn't capable of running 64-bit Windows. As far as memory goes, 32-bit processes more than 2.5 GB, usually around 3.25 GB and the remains of memory can be used by you video which is not bad either.

    You're probably better to just stick with the 4 GB you have installed and leave things because you're not going to see a performance difference between 32 and 64 bit with only 4 GB of memory.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA2A - BIOS recognize only 1 GB of RAM after upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100 PSAA2A. RAM is up to 2GB (2 slots).
    Now, I have 256MB + 512 MB (Kingston KVR533D2/S4/512) total = 768 MB (Samsung 256 MB DDRII 533FSB).
    It works well

    I want to improve my RAM. I've got Kingston KTT533D2 / 1 G
    I have 512 MB + 1024 MB = 1.5 GB

    I removed 256 MB to 1 GB. Now she has 512 MB and 1024 MB
    But BIOS recognizes only 1 GB (Windows XP as well). I changed my slot machines, a different combination made - always 1 GB (not 1, 5 GB)

    I checked each memory separately 256 MB, 512 MB, 1024MB - works well, but combination of combination and 512 MB + 1024 MB 256 MB + 1024 MB do not work.

    I did a BIOS upgrade and set version 2.3

    Any ideas guys?

    Thank you.

    I m not sure but I think the problem are two different modules. They come from different manufacturers have different abilities.

    If you want to, or more than 1 GB RAM, use should use the same modules. At a time when prices are cheap.

    But you can also test the RAM with special tools like Memtest86:

  • Tecra A8 PTA83E - only 3.3 GB recognized by 64-bit systems

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Tecra A8 PTA83E, recently, I inserted 2x2gb DDR2 PC6400 (800 Mhz), my laptop supports only PC5300 (667 Mhz), memory works well, but under ubuntu (x 64) I see only 3, 2 GB, WIN 7 (x 64) and in memtest 3, 3 GB. Why this behavior? Is because the modules of memory has a greater frequency than those who support the laptop? If I insert a memory module(2GB) at a time I see 1, 9 GB. Thank you.

    Hello

    I guess that the other part of the main memory is shared by the graphics chip.
    What value memory appears in the BIOS?

    If the 4 GB are indicated, then everything should be OK.

  • Tecra 9100 - installed like 512 MB RAM, but it slowed down my computer!

    After much fumbling around trying to install my new 512 MB of RAM, I turned on my computer to find that it starts much more slowly. A message popped up saying 'Memory Module added' and my computer shows 768 MB is installed which is correct, because I already have 256 MB installed in Slot 1.

    So why on Earth is my computer even slower! I bought it to speed up the thing! My computer is slow to start, is less sensitive and much better with just the 256 MB of RAM installed.

    I think I might have damaged the RAM or the Slot 2 because at first, I inserted it incorrectly. They should have a video demo on how to install it because the manual didn't help me that much!

    The RAM is crucial and supports my cell phone because I ran tests to determine what RAM I need.

    Can someone help me please!

    Hello

    Well, it is possible that the new RAM is malfunctioning.

    But have you checked the speed of RAM? How much MhZ is the module supports?

    The Tecra 9100 supports PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51) module and it runs at 266 MHz.
    If the new module supports a lower speed that the old second module will work also with lower speed.

    Moreover, I would not recommend using modules without name. The performance is bad. Kingston modules are much better.

  • Satellite P20 S203 does not recognize my additional 1 GB memory

    Hi all

    My computer (Satellite P20 S203) does not recognize my second Bank of memory (1 GB). I have two banks of memory of 1 GB installed. BIOS reports only 1 GB, Windows reports that 1 GB and my Linux so he says only 1 GB of memory. I removed each Bank of memory and restarted the computer successfully in each of the two slots, No Problem, but when the two banks of memory are inserted, it always uses only 1 GB. My BIOS is on version 2.10:

    BIOS is the PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0

    I know it's an old computer (about 10 years), but what could cause such a problem?

    Thanks a lot for any advice or suggestions!

    Kind regards

    Hi fuegi_1,

    The upgrade modules, bought exactly?

    To me it sounds like that it s a compatibility problem or your computer laptop doesn't support 2 GB.

    If you use two memory modules, you must only use two modules of the same production.

  • Server recognizes only half RAM

    Hello, we have 8 HP Server Proliant DL 380 G5 with p56 2011.02.05 Bios version (the latest being, if I understand correctly). Now, all the servers have 4 1 GB FBDIMM, which works very well.

    Recently, we decided to upgrade and bought memory KTH-XW667LP / 8G (according to the manufacturer, it is equivalent to 466440-B21 HP / COMPAQ and is fully compatible with this model). I installed two 8 GB FBDIMM in one of the servers, but it only sees half of the memory. Instead of 16 GB, it recognizes only 8 GB.

    Now, I have tried several vaiants:

    1 all 4 1 GB FBDIMM (former) is placed in the banks 1A and 3A, 2 and 4 C. The 8 GB FBDIMM are placed in banks 5b and 7B (according to the guide, this should be good). The server shows 12 GB (in BIOS and RHEL). That is, he fully acknowledges the old memory, but not the new.

    2. the old memory is completely removed for test purposes. The 8 GB FBDIMM are placed in banks 1A and 3A. The server shows 8 GB only.

    Now, I have tried on three servers with various 8 GB FBDIMM (we bought 10 packs) to make sure, that it is not caused by damage of server or memory. Nothing is done, the result is the same. I guess, the problem is not in the servers and not in memory. There is no update of the BIOS that I can install (we have the most recent version). So, what could cause this problem? Maybe I need to change something inside the server to recognize the memory? Maybe it's a mechanizm of redundancy of memory, which can be turned off or what?
