Toshiba Satellite L505-s5990 can be improved with more RAM?

I have this Toshiba satellite L505-s5990 with windows 7 32-bit and intel core 2duo t6500 and I think that I cheated, well I don think, I was mistaken, because when I buy first told me it has ddr3 ram and there no, also told me that I could add more RAM, because it might be expandable up to 8 GB of ram, because there just 3 when I bought and which I have now doubt, well, you might wonder why I do not do something like back or something like that, well the reason is that, at the point where I noticed that it was already too late (warranty and return policy) had expired already, I didn't know anything this either on the computers, of course, so now I'm stuck with it and I guess all I can do is upgraded to what I want if possible lol! Well what I want is run several operating systems to achieve I think that my laptop I could run virtualization and I would like to know what equipment I need to upgrade my computer to do and if it supports the upgrade? I would appreciate very if anyone of you could help me with this.

Wow.  All this without breathing a lot and you do not use Google? * smile * you should really get in GOOGLE.
 
You have this laptop:
http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/retail-product.jsp?poid=452314
 
You can easily get up to 8 GB of memory MATERIAL:
http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Toshiba-memory/satellite+L505+series/satellite+L505-S5990-upgrades.html

Beyond that - well - what EDITION of Windows 7 do you have?  You have given version (Windows 7) and architecture (32-bit) but not editing (home edition Premium, etc.)
 
In the end - it won't matter much if Windows 7 32-bit came pre-installed.  Despite the ability of the machine to have 8 GB memory installed and the material see - the 32-bit version of Windows 7 you have is not going to use it somehow.  Somewhere between 3 and 4 GB is the most he'll see/use/give you access to.  It is the nature of the beast.
 
Also - if it came pre-installed you can just use your product key, download Windows 7 64 bits _ and install - because the OEM for Windows 7 licenses does not work like that.  You bought Windows 7 32-bit OEM and that's all you get.  Sales in the RETAIL of WIndows 7 license would have given you the ability to change as often as you wish between 32-bit and 64-bit.
 
Where did put you?  Well in my digging around, I'm fairly certain that you pretty much exactly what I linked to the first.  Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit, 3 GB memory, processor 2.1 GHz dual core...  You can probably do a little now - virtualization might need to turn on a few things in the BIOS to really enjoy it - but it would work probably right now.  Take the free VirtualBox there and install the OS you want ot - but you probably will have to be rare on how much memory you give virtual machine (1, maybe 1.5 GB at max.)

If you are looking to improve more...  You will probably need to invest in:

-Windows 7 Professional or edition full 64-bit
-the 8 GB memory referenced above
-a larger and faster disk hard

After that - well, it's a laptop.  Reality of what you can do starting to settle in.  The above improvements would cost you somewhere (from) about 350 USD.  Your Dual Core processor will probably hinder things - how - investment as a whole better system would be wiser.

  • Satellite L505-S5990-F3-F200-0002 error recovery disc

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5990 and I had to do a system restore. I ordered the recovery of Toshiba and equip the number one disc discs. It took me to the Toshiba Recovery Wizard, I used the option completely format the hard drive, all partitions of wiping then in market and so fourth. I put in disc 2 when you are prompted, and click Next. Everything was fine until the end, when I received an error code F3-F200-0002 at which time the only option was to click on next, then the system would be closed. I then tried restoring this time using the default options to factory restore on the restore disc. I put in disc 2 when you are prompted and click Next. Then, I received the error once again at the end of the restoration.

    What can I do now?

    Hi DustinB22,

    I had a similar problem last month that the recovery disk didn't work correctly. First I thought that the discs are not ok (striped), but then I used a Microsoft Windows disk to format the HARD drive first. After that, I tried again the Toshiba Recovery disk and it worked now!
    So you should try that too. As I have written, you can use a Microsoft disk to format the HARD disk or another tool. Maybe it works

    If this isn't the case, you can also install Windows on this drive from Microsoft.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5997 computer laptop and my hardrive recently crushed, impossible to restart.  I installed a SEAGATE 500 GB/sata/GO 16 MB of Cache, 7200 RPM hard drive. I ordered recovery for the computer disks and many of the drivers will not update or install without error that tells me that "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52) "error.  Also, when I try to update Windows 7 I get the ' Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. "  You may have to restart your computer. "When I try to download the service pack from the Web site it is usually interrupted with another error.  I tried to go to the Toshiba website and download the drivers needed and utitilities but nothing seems to work.  I am at a loss to try to seek and find a solution.

    Are you sure that the original problem was caused by a failure of the HD, did you test that the hd with the utility bootable disk from audit?

    As if you reinstalled to a new HD using that the required all defined recovery Tosh disk drivers would have been installed in this process.

    Assuming that Tosh then rebooted successfully after recovery, windows update would have run some important updates automatically. If that failed then it would seem that something is happening with your system.

  • Upgrading Toshiba Satellite PRO C for Windows 8 with DVD

    Hi all!

    I tried to upgrade to Windows 8 PRO with the DVD provided with the laptop but cannot achieve this goal.

    I made the changes in the BIOS as the said document (CSM boot for a UEFI boot and enable Secure Boot), started the laptop with the DVDs, but after running for a while, it stops and show a message saying something like there is not enough space in partition to write the image o something like that. Sorry because I don't have the exact message. Any ideas on this subject?

    Fortunately, I did the DVD to recover for the restoration of Windows 7, but I would like to run Windows 8 in the laptop.

    Kind regards.

    Javier.

    If I m not wrong not the message means that the partition does not provide sufficient space to install the system Win 8.

    I think you need to format the partition before you begin the installation of the system.
    This option should be given during the installation of the OS, I can not say with certainty what stage should provide this option, but this should be asked at the beginning of the installation

    I do the measures since an ECU.

    This one (please see piture) comprises more than 64 bits for one ID.

    I cannot find how I can read these data using 'Channel API'. Is this possible?

    On MAX, I am not able creat CAN measure with more than 64-bit task...

    It is necessary to use only "frame APIs.

    NI-Channel CAN API is not able to deal with Multi part messages, so you must use the NI-CAN frame API to read the Multi part message and do the conversion to physical quantities on your own.

  • Can you start CC2014 Illustrator with more RAM?

    I use Illustrator for editing SVG very large (> 150 MB) files, and the software is extremely slow and unresponsive more regularly, even if she (slowly, slowly) acquires more RAM. Is there a way to start the Illustrator with a larger amount of RAM, e.g. 8 or 16 GB?

    I'm working on a MacPro with 32 GB of RAM, two 6-core processors, a videocard of NVIDIA Quadro K5000 (4 GB RAM) and tons of free space on the disk. It's very frustrating to see Illustrator is not taking advantage of the available machine resources! I scoured the web for solutions and come empty-handed... Any tips?

    There is nothing you can do. Although you can assign a range of fixed memory, the program would still need to load the objects one by one and make them, so in fact, there is no same sense to think about it this way...
