• Upgrading processor on Satellite L20-181

  Can I insert in my laptop Toshiba Satellite L20-181 (Intel Celeron M 380 processor) Intel Pentium 4 processor 521 (for laptop)?

  Sorry, my English is weak.

  Hello

  No, to my knowledge it of certainly not possible to upgrade the satellite L20 with a processor Intel P4 CPU.
  As far as I know that the motherboard supports a mobile Intel socket 479 and it should be possible to use only the processors Celeron-M as follows:
  Intel Celeron M 350 (1.30 GHz) - 360 (1.40 GHz) - 370 (1.50 GHz) - 380 (1.60 GHz) with 400 Mhz FSB

  In my opinion the stronger processors will cause overheating.

• Upgrading RAM on satellite L20-217

  Hi guys,.

  I have a satellite L20-217 and I'm looking to upgrade my ram 256 to 2 GB (or at least 1 GB). I did some research but I am still confused about this module (s) to buy and how to install it. I'm new on this and I will be very grateful if anyone can advise me on what to do, thank you.

  PS: Is it possible to switch from a celeron M to a dual core processor?

  Hello

  Man of good news:

  The L20 can be upgraded up to 2 GB!
  Please visit this page;
  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=31173&ft=m&St=3

  You simply DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM bars!

  Module slots are placed at the bottom of the unit.
  There must be only one screw removed and you will see two slots!

  The replacement is not very delicate and must be described in the manual very well!

  With regard to the replacement of the CPU:

  The replacement of the CPU is very delicate and particularly is not possible for different reasons!

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro C660-219

  Hello.

  I wonder just to upgrade CPU on my laptop to get some perfomance.
  I did the upgrade of RAM to 8 gb and 64 bit Win7.
  Now, it's processor i3 - 370 M (3 m cache, 2.40 GHz).

  I'm sure I can go to i3 - 390 M (3 m Cache, 2.66 GHz) processor, but it will be useless IMO.
  It has same Cache and just a little bit faster CPU count:

  I need someone to answer the question: can I ride this laptop an i5 or i7 without problem with compatibility with the motherboard?

  Sorry for my poor English, but I think you will have a point of my case.
  I do not want to play games, but need more power for hd video editing when I'm outside my home office

  You should know that upgrades of processors are not supported by any laptop manufacturer. This means that no one can tell if a CPU would be fully compatible and cause no worries. These upgrades are own risk.

  You could read this statement from Toshiba about upgrades.
  [Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop computer? | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm]

  The point is that even the chipset which is part of the motherboard would support the new processor, BIOS would not fully compatible and the combination of BIOS and the new processor may cause new troubles.

  The camera seems to supports the INTEL HM55 chipset and to my knowledge, the Toshiba Satellite C660/C665/Pro C660 series is based on a Dual Core/Quad Core Processor (* Intel Arrandale processors *)

  So if you want to find a compatible CPU, you should check the processors owned by the family of processors Intel Arrandale.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite P100-434

  Satellite P100-434 BIOS v 4.80 does support the Core2Duo T7500 Intel proccessor?

  I'm currently have T5500 and want to update to T7500, is the same thing but I don't know the motherboard/BIOS card can support this CPU?

  I advance thank you

  For CPU upgrade, there are several different important things and not the BIOS only.

  Check it please this Toshiba document initially - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  BTW: I m not sure but I think you can find similar topics related to upgrade CPU on P100. Use the advanced search in this forum. Maybe you'll find some interesting discussions.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite C70 - A - 16 L

  Hello, first of all I apologize for my bad English hahaha.

  I have a Satellite C70 - A - 16 L with pemtium processor I want to change it to an i3, i5 or a i7, is it possible?

  Thank you

  Upgrade CPU on laptops is not supported. This means that no one will be able to tell if the new CPU would work and if the laptop would be stable after this upgrade.

  Primarily this unit seems to be new. In this case, the warranty is still valid. If you disassemble the notebook in order to remove the CPU, you will void the warranty.
  I put t think it's worth a try.

  PS: even if you want to put a new processor, the performance gain is not noticeable. In my opinion better upgrade would be the use of SOLID-STATE drive instead of the HARD disk

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite L350-14Y

  Hell,

  I'm french so my enclise is approximate.
  I have to computer laptop satellite L350-14Y
  Intel cèleront 560. I would like to apgrade processor with a dual core (T2340). Is this possible?
  Can wich processor I upgrade my laptop please?

  Thank you very much

  In General, the CPU upgrade is not supported - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  Problem is that Toshiba offers no information on compatible processors that can be used on this laptop. Supported upgrade is RAM and HARD drive.

  This Satellite is old enough laptop model that can be used for everyday operations, so I see no reason to upgrade CPU. What do you need more performance?

  In my opinion, you can increase the Ram to the maximum level and exchange the original HDD with SSD faster.
  This will increase the performance of laptop computer s quickly and you can do it alone without any risk.

• HARD drive to upgrade SSD in Satellite L20-183

  Hello

  I have the Toshiba Satellite L20-183 PSL2XE - 011018G (3), with 2 GB of ram, and I'm interested to upgrade the HARD drive to * Transcend 32 GB 2.5 "IDE PATA internal SSD Solid State Disk MLC Flash model TS32GPSD330 * (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1K61312389).

  Is it compatible?

  Thank you very much in advance!

  Laurentiu

  Unfortunately, I can't confirm the SSD compatibility but if this old Satellite phone has HDD with IDE interface I sure you can use this SSD for upgrade of m.

  Please post comments. This info can be useful for other users of L20.

• Upgrade memory of satellite L20-181

  Hey all

  I want to upgrade memory on my Toshiba Satellite L20-181.
  Now I have 256 MB and I want to add another stick of memory to 256 MB.
  Could you please inform me about the type of memory has this laptop?
  On the site it is said:
  Standard system memory: 256 MB
  maximum scalability: 2 048 MB
  technology: DDR2 RAM

  DDR2?
  A link with such a memory would be very useful.
  Also, anyway to buy memory online?

  Best regards

  Hello

  The news that you are quite right. Toshiba has tested this laptop with the memory modules to follow:
  DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
  512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)

  As you can see it's memory module DDR2 and if you use the part (PA.) to the Google number, you will find many online offereor where you can order this tested memory. I recommend buying the original or perhaps module of Kingston. On this way, you will be sure that the new module will be recognized correctly.

  Good luck!

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite A100-521

  Hi all, looks like a good forum here! I'm looking for more information about upgrading the processor on my Satellite A100-521.

  The current main specifications are:
  Intel Celeron M 360 (1.4 Ghz, 400 Mhz FSB)
  2 GB RAM PC2-4300
  60GB OCZ SSD 2 Vortex
  Windows 7 (works well, but without Aero)

  So it's the CPU that's the weak link, verified by the Windows performance index.

  I did some research and it seems that the chipset is AMD Radeon Xpress 200 m http://www.amd.com/u...s-200m-amd.aspx which is apparently compatible with some Pentium and Core 2 CPU: http://en.wikipedia...s_200_for_Intel

  Any ideas what I could update? Didn't need to be very fast, just a little faster with the processes of daily...

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Upgrading CPU is generally very delicate due to the compatibility of the BIOS.
  Although the chipset would be able to handle new CPU, BIOS can cause problems.
  But no one is able to say that if cell would stable after these updates if you want to be 100% sure, I recommend choosing a CPU that has already been used in the A100 series
  Otherwise, it would be possible that new CPU would not be addressed by BIOS correctly.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite A40

  Hello

  I m wondering if anyone knows what the best processor I can put in my Satellite A40, as the current is on its way and so I m wondering if I can put in a Pentium M because I think he has the same socket.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  To be honest I recommend you to use the option of advanced search on this forum and use CPU upgrade as a term to search and read some of the proposed topics. I hope you know that people think upgrade CPU.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite P10 (PSP16)

  Please can someone tell me what is the best processor on the motherboard of my Satellite P10 to support? I have a P4 HT 2.60.
  I'm ready to be replaced by other better performance (I don't like on the battery life or heat :))

  Hi Mohamed

  What to say. Generally, a replacement of CPU on laptops is not possible or not easily and very delicate.
  Why? Because
  -n t know whether the processor is welded.
  -n t know if the laptop will run stable after upgrade CPU due to heat
  -n t know if BIOS will be compatible with the new processor, etc.

  However, you should start to know check the basic information of the chipset and check which processors support the Intel chipset. I think that you will find all the details on the chipset on the Intel page. This is a basic condition for the CPU upgrade

  In any case as talked about above the CPU upgrade is usually not possible that a person could not give a guarantee that the phone will work after these updates, so be careful!

  Good bye

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite L30-134

  If someone managed upgrade CPU on one of them again? Ive had contributed up to memory, but its still a little slow if you know what I mean...: P

  Ive been watching the Core2 SLV3W 2x1.33Ghz, the same operating temperature and the FSB, the two socket 478/9 but do not know if the BIOS will chuck a Teddy, Mobile Pentium look a little hot to run on this forum, well its amazing what you can do with a dremel tool and a bit of copper pipe , if need be I will be doctor existing cooling...

  Comments or suggestions gratefully received.

  I've dealt,

  Unfortunately, no one here would be able to give you really good information that could be useful for you. Since you´re a Pro, you should check out this site for example: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/

  The BIOS cannot be changed, but if the chipset is capable you can try it. Decision-making is always the same, so the package should fit into the hole ;)
  But I recommend you NOT to change the cooling system because it s lined up to work with the entire system. The system might work a little 'non-glaciere' and wouldn be quiet as before, but it should work.

  So, how you see yourself. I'm with you, but I can give you correct information because I am just modding computers for office (and already upgraded a laptop with some new CPU so I know something about it and I can tell you: Don t ask here.) Just read the headings and you'll see why :))

  Good luck and welcome

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite A200 - 1 M 8

  Hello

  I want to upgrade CPU in my A200 - 1 M 8 (now there is T7100).

  I consider two processors:
  (a) supported by T7700 Merom with 65nm, casings made PBGA479, PPGA478
  (b) T8300 Penryn with 45nm, casings BGA479 taken in charge, PGA478

  I would prefer Penryn becouse of low power consumption and less heat generated then Merom.
  But I don't know for sure, Penryn will work on my laptop?
  There is also no update BIOS for A200 - 1 M 8 (PSAE6E) - I gess, that my bios does not support newer T8300.

  I searched internet and have not found anyone who has done this before.

  Thanks for help

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro M50?

  Is it possible to upgrade the processor on a Satellite Pro M50 to say an Intel Pentium M 755 SL7EM Socket 479 (mPGA479M) or is the BIOS locked to accept only Celeron M 350J, 360J, 370, 380?

  You should first check chipset compatibility.
  IIN case the chipset would support the new processor, you have a good chance to get the laptop works properly.

  I think the old series M50 Intel 915 PM/915GM/910GML chipset support.
  So, theoretically the
  -Intel Pentium-M Dothan (725/730/740/750/760/770) 1.6 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.86 GHz, 2.0 GHz, 2.13 GHz
  and
  -Intel Celeron-M Dothan (350J, 360J, 370) 1.3 GHz, 1.4 GHz and 1.5 GHz
  should be compatible.

  But be aware that portable upgrades from manufacturers don t support the CPU.
  So no one can tell which device is supported by the BIOS.

  Also, the Pentium CPU would create and produce more heat and this may affect the functionality of the laptop. In the worst case system and the RAM would be crashes due to the higher temperature.
