Upgrade memory 4 GB on Satellite A200-23W

Hello
I asked Toshiba service here in Greece upgrade memory than my A200 23W and they buy a 2 GB memory module (I noticed that there was no need for 2 because there was that one module in this topic but anyway...).

I did and installed the new memory, but since than, in the information system, I can only see this:

Name of the Microsoft® Windows Vista Home Premium operating system
Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001
Another Description of the OS is not available
Manufacturer of operating system Microsoft Corporation
Name of COMSPI08-PC system
The TOSHIBA system manufacturer
Satellite A200 system model
System Type X 86-based PC
Processor Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo processor T7500 2.20 GHz, 2201 Mhz, 2 Lossnay, 2 logical processors
BIOS Version/Date TOSHIBA V2.40, 15/05/2008
SMBIOS Version 2.4
Windows directory C:\Windows
System directory C:\Windows\system32
Boot Device \Device\HarddiskVolume2
Locale Greece
Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.0.6001.18000".
User name-
GTB time zone
Physical memory (RAM) 4.00 GB
3.00 GB total physical memory
2.01 GB available physical memory
6.19 GB total virtual memory
5.12 GB available virtual memory
Page file space 3.29 GB

So my question is WHY AVAILABLE PHYSICAL MEMORY IS STILL 2.01 GB? When I installed 4 GB and the system can see that only in theory.

There is nothing wrong with your system. As you have already posted, windows displays your total amount of 4 GB of physical memory and the total physical memory to 3 GB.
The part with the available memory is a thing of windows and displays how much memory is left for other programs, because windows needs some of them your own sound.

So, if you want to use all of your 4 GB you will need to use a 64 bit version of Vista, because 32-bit versions are limited to a maximum size of 3, 29GB as already indicated your page file space.

Hope this cleared some things now.

  • Extension memory for Satellite A200-23W

    Wonder if I can upgrade memory (now 2 x 2 GB at 667) with two others at 800 mhz...

    Hello

    You can upgrade the RAM with 800 MHz modules, but as much as I know this will not improve the speed and the RAM will run at 667 MHz.
    The reason is that the chipset doesn't support 800 MHz.

    Satellite A200-23W supports up to 4 GB, so any update is not necessary.

  • Satellite A200 23W: XP-> Bluetooth question and mass storage controller

    Hello

    I have a satellite A200-23W and just installed Windows XP SP2 and the problem is:

    1. that i can't see the anyware bluetooth (I istalled the monitor bluetooth from the web site of the Union European toshiba)

    2. also, in Device Manager, I see that the mass storage controller needs new drivers but I can't find?

    Thank you

    Alex

    Hello

    With regard to the point;

    (1) the laptop supports BT certainly then have you installed Bluetooth driver too?
    BT monitor is a utility to control BT, but to use the BT, you need the BT stack!

    (2) this unit is probably the module of Robson former Turbo Memory.
    This material is only supported by Windows Vista.
    There is therefore no Windows XP driver.

  • Satellite A200-23W - SATA1 or 2 interface?

    I would like to be sure which is the right SATA for my Satellite A200 23W, bought 2 years and a half ago. What is SATA2? I installed an SSD 60 GB drive with Windows 7 64 bit, but I don't know about the SATA mode I.

    FYI SSD (OCZ VERTEX 2 SATA II 2.5 60 GB) works well since I did the installation (3 days ago)

    Hey,.

    You can use two SATA standards, because the connector is the same.

    If your laptop can handle SATA 1 readers, all SATA 2 drives are compatible downgrade so no problems at all! :)

  • Upgrade the processor to a Satellite A200-17O (PSAE6)

    Hello

    I was just curious to know if it is possible to upgrade the processor of my Satellite A200-17O (PSAE6) (it is an Intel core 2 duo T7100) to a Core 2 Duo more powerful as the T7500. I had intended to do so in a year or two, since at that time there prices for chips should go down and the power of the 2.2 ghz (or more) opposed to the 1.8 ghz may be necessary...

    I ask that is because when checking, it seems to be quite difficult to obtain for the CPU (which means I have to remove all of the bottom of the laptop to access; would be an obstacle, I could take however). My main concern is that if the Bios would then recognize the chip I use, what should essentially be compatible since it is always based on the right PM965 Chipset?

    Thank you in advance, I am grateful for any answer.

    Sorry mate but it s not possible to upgrade your system with a new processor because your system it s not like a desktop system that can be easily upgraded.
    The problem is, these components such as the processor and VGA are "wired" for the user, which means that the manufacturer of a lack of doesn´t of mobile system to change any of these comps.

    You may have a chipset that can handle more CPU, but the BIOS is not how you think. You will have massive problems since the cooling system are designed individually for each machine, but each unit has its own BIOS configuration and so on.

    Probably the most interesting is that you will lose your warranty if you really take apart your machine yourself.

  • Satellite A200 23W stop seconds after pressing the power button / stop

    Hello all :)

    I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 23W a few hours ago.
    I turn it on and let it complete the installation of Vista.

    After the installation of Vista finishing it asket to resturn laptop and from that moment, the laptop is "dead".
    After pressing on restart the computer (from Vista) computer turns off without problem, but he never did it again!
    After a few minutes of waiting, I tried to start it by pressing the power button.

    Now when I press the power button, I can hear the HDD work and most of the time until I see something on the screen of the laptop computer stops!
    Now, I noticed that both the battery indicator AND the DC IN light are hot flushing and stop Flash at times.
    Reading the manual, I guess that the DC IN indicator should Flash in all not well.

    I tried to uninstall the battery and try to start the laptop, but in this case I can't even listen to the HDD, commissioning!
    I try to unplag and replag (on the laptop as well as Jack) power cable but again no result.

    Any ideas of what past?
    Thank you very much

    I don't know what the problem is here and, in my view, should not be so important to you. Contact your dealer as soon as possible and to talk with him. Explain the situation. You will get may be new notebook. Otherwise, please contact the nearest authorized maintainer and let check your laptop.

    The laptop is brand new and it should work. Please do not wait too long.

  • Graphics memory shared in a Satellite A200-1CK

    Hello, I have a Satellite A200-1CK which has 2 GB of RAM and 256 MB graphics memory shared.

    is there a way to check how my phone is currently using this 256 MB and you can manually change this?

    for example, to define graphics for always using 128 MB memory if the laptop needs or not?

    I already checked with google and I found a few sites that say you can change something like that in the BIOS but I can't find.

    Thank you

    Jeroen

    Hello

    When I try to play a game that requires 128 MB graphic memory it does not even start. In theory I should be able to play the game, since I have enough memory. Or is it fake? Shared memory is perhaps not as real graphic memory. Can someone explain?

    There are different reasons why starting a game doesn t.
    Maybe a graphics driver is not compatible?
    Generally shared memory graphics cards are not really designed for games. Of course, some older games would go but with the games recent very strong graphics cards needs.

    I agree with alphaleader. Shared memory will be allocated automatically. She shared max value depends on the amount of installed RAM memory.

  • Can I upgrade the graphics card on Satellite A200?

    Hi friends,

    I have a Satellite A200-13O with disk HARD 120 GB, Intel Centrino Duo 1.8 GHz, 1 GB ram and Intel 945GM chipset.

    It's not even 6 months, it was a birthday gift for me of the 18th, I want 2 upgrade his graphics card. Is this possible?

    Can I overclock the system?

    Thank you

    Kelly

    Hello

    Unfortunately, NO, since the graphics chip is welded (wired) on the motherboard. To play games, you can buy another machine with a better graphics card (Geforce 8700 M GT is very good).

    Sorry mate, but theres no chance of getting the best performance from your machine about games.

  • Satellite A200-23W: problem installing Windows Vista

    Hello..

    I now that this topic is discussed several times before, but after trying many solutions of the forum and some of my only, I reached a level that it makes no sense...

    First off I would like to explain what I do for a living, it has to do with IT and that is what makes it even more tempting for me.

    2 days ago a friend bought a Toshiba A200-23W. The first thing I always do when I buy a new laptop is to format it and install a clean Windows operating system.
    After my first attempt, I realized that I have to install first the matrix storage driver.

    I downloaded the driver from toshiba place related to my model. (Intel Matrix Storage Manager - 7.5.0.1017).
    I created a usb key with the required driver files:

    iaAhci.inf,
    iaAhci.cat,
    iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat,
    iaStor.sys, and
    TxtSetup.oem

    in the folder (F6flpy) of the (Intel Matrix Storage Manager) you can copy them to the root of the USB stick.
    When the form "Where you want to install windows" windows Vista appear I select load the driver, and then by clicking (Browse), I select the USB drive as source for my drivers.
    The (Intel(r) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller) will automatically appear as a choice and by clicking on the (Next) the process of the pilot installation begins.
    So far so good..

    Here's where things get complicated...
    When Vista back to the form "Where you want to install windows", even my system has 2 x 200 GG HDD only 200 GB HARD drive appears in the list...

    Selections of 'New' Partition, or a Partition of 'Delete' are disabled.
    and even when I click 'Next' for selected HD a windows message:

    "Windows has no determine if this computer contains a valid system volume."

    I'd appreciate your help...

    Thank you in advance...
    George P.

    Hello

    You cannot format the HARD disk or delete the partition because this would remove the SATA driver too, and the HARD drive would not be recognized by Vista!

    Therefore, you need to install the OS on the HARD drive that is displayed in the installation program.

  • Upgrade memory not accepted by Satellite C660

    I installed a 4 GB ram module to upgrade this Satellite C660d C66 (PSC1LE).

    When I then try to start the system all that happens is that a flashing cursor appears in the upper left corner of the screen. The configuration system is 4 GB installed. If I put the original memory in the laptop then everything works ok.
    I contacted the supplier of the ram module and they sent me a replacement, but exactly the same problem occurred.

    Any notice received with gratitude.

    There must be a compatibility problem. What new RAM use? What brand?

    RAM upgrade I recommend you to use only high quality modules. The best quality offers Kngston.

    Toshiba recommends using 4 GB of RAM with PA3918U-1M4G part number.

  • The upgrade memory and HDD on Satellite Pro A300-1EA

    So, I'm new to this forum so first of all Hello to all!

    I plan to buy the Satellite Pro A300 1EA and I came to the conclusion that I need to buy more memory that the thing has already installed (2 048 MB).
    I tried to search for information through Kingston and OCZ, but have not found something solid on what memory modules are supported by the A300-1EA.

    The A300-1EA uses DDR2 800 Mhz type of memory (max 8192MB) instead of just dealing with one module 2084 installed, I had intended to get two of them.

    What I have to buy two identical modules, or can I increase memory by simply adding a module to match installed?
    So if anyone has an idea where I could find on the modules of memory supported, that would be swell! :)

    The other thing is quite the same, but only with hard disks. I found many potential readers than fullfill my needs for a faster drive (upgrade of 5400 RPM / min-> 7200 RPM), but I don't know which ones work with this laptop.

    After all, I'm in the impression that laptops are not so easy on these pieces as desktop computers.

    Thanks in advance!

    Satellite Pro A300-1EA belongs to the series of PSAG9E, and it seems that it was fitted on the Chipset Mobile Intel GM45 Express.
    As far as I know, that you can improve this laptop 4 GB RAM max so I wonder which tells you something about 8 GB support.
    You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB, and you can use the 200-PIN SODIMM 800 MHz modules.

    But to be honest I don t understand why you want to upgrade if the 32-bit Windows operating system will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32-bit operating system.

    With regard to the drive HARD;
    You need a HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

  • Upgrade memory 667 Mhz for Satellite U300

    Hello

    I have a new Satellite u300-11v and I was hoping to upgrade the memory standard modules of current 2 x 1 GB 2 x 2 GB ddr800 for a max speed of memory. However, after looking at intels site for specifications of the chipset for my machine (its got an intel mobile GM965 chipset) it seems that it will only support up to 667 mhz RAM modules.

    Reading a little further, I think that if I have a memory at 667 mhz bus it can only be reached through the module 1 x 2 GB at 667 mhz. Currently I put 2 x 2 GB 667 modules in the machine, the default memory bus at 533 mhz.
    I watched chipset specs of your laptop (945GM) while I was on the site intels and your in the same boat as me.

    Heres so the dilemma: you have just 1 x 2 GB 667 MHz memory to get this speed little extra memory or go for 2 x 2 GB to the slowest to 533 mhz to accommodate all these massive windows page file.

    For me, have family Vista premium running on a machine that can bring together only a bus 533 mhz memory with 4 GB of ram is not acceptable while I will now go back to XP pro which is not so heavy on resources.

    Did you really notice the difference between the memory 533 MHz bus and memory 667 MHz modules?

    Of course, there is a small difference in performance, but you will never get a performance gain by using the modules of 667 MHz instead of 553 Mhz modules.

  • TFncKy.exe problem after upgrade to XP SP3 on Satellite A200

    Hello

    After upgrade of XP SP3, I have problem with TFncky.

    _System_:
    A200/PSAE7
    -XP Pro (2 x with OS selector, 1 OS XP XP main, 2nd XP for games)

    _Problem_:
    After booting XP from my main XP installation I always get an error message pop up stating that there is no prob with TFncKy and TFncKy should be stopped. As "signature of the problem" I get the following:

    + AppName: tfncky.exe AppVer: 3.22.0.0 ModName: ntdll.dll +.
    + ModVer: 5.1.2600.5512 Offset: 00012ace +.

    With one of the following keys on keyboard always results in above described error pop up but key are functional:
    WinLogo, DEL, HOME, PGUP /-DN, END, right SHIFT, FN + keys F etc.

    My second installation of XP (Lite for games) short smooth after SP3 upgrade: no error TFncKy error message.

    As my second XP runs without any problems after SP3 I'm not sure if the proplem is related with + tfncky.exe + or + ntdll.dll +.

    BTW:
    What driver package includes "tfncky.exe? Toshiba controls?

    Thanks in advance for any information or advice for this problem!

    Hello

    the problem was already discussed in another thread: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=18082

    The last message was probably the solution for the whole of the case. The mentioned user that "TfncKy.exe" belongs to the Toshiba Hotkey utility that only needs to be removed and reinstalled for this problem.

    In addition, it would be wise to check the registry with CCleaner for example before you reinstall the Hotkey utility.
