Upgrade memory of Satellite A100

Hi all
I have a satellite A100-583, which currently has 1 GB of ram and want to know which is the bigger it can be upgraded to and it is worth it, also need to be replaced with 533ddr2 or can it be replaced by 667 and who is a better upgrade?
Can you also tell me what is SODIMM and if that makes a difference?

Hello

the machine can be upgraded to a maximum of 4 GB of main memory, and if it s worthy can per person answer, but only by yourself.

Do you really need it? I think would be best that go you to 2 GB from you´re not a graphic designer who has larger images (which can be a few gigabytes high :)).

As a normal vista/XP user, you need only 2 GB. You even won´t not recognize the jump of 1 GB, 2 GB of RAM or more.

Regarding the modules FSB frequency: it doesn´t matter how often you use, you really won´t winning performance when you use the 667 mhz modules, if just to get a nice pair of 2x2gb with 533 Mhz sticks and just enjoy the 'speed '.

Here´s a little explanation for S0-DIMM:

  • Upgrade memory for Satellite A100 - 02 M

    My laptop has 1 GB of memory originally and I want to upgrade to 2 GB.

    I've identified the 2 x 1 GB memory PC2 DDR2 (667 MHz) modules that I need but am confused if I should choose module type PA3512U-1M1G or PA3512S-1M1G.

    Two of these pieces are available in parts of Toshiba, but Kingston lists only the correct PA3512U-1M1G for my laptop (A100 - 02 M).
    The two parts are compatible with the laptop and is one better than the other?

    The price of Toshiba of the 'U' part is rated £14.20 and the "S" £16.54 each party. "

    DRM for info.

    I imagine that Toshiba has more information on compatibility and specifications of the laptop you can use both of them. Now, it's your choice.

    Kingston is also good place to buy Rams. They always offer quality products.

  • How to adjust the video memory on Satellite A100-811

    Hi all

    There, an agency know how to adjust the memory of the video card in the laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-811?
    The physical memory of my laptop is 512 MB, I want to share my 128 MB videocard, nomatter if 384 will remain in my physical memory.

    Your immediate response is much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    the Satellite A100 supports an Intel 945GM processor 8MB - 128 MB of graphics memory shared memory, it's true. But
    as far as I know it of not possible to allocate this memory shared manually, it happens automatically.

    If the application running more graphic must map memory then the OS will be automatically increases this value.

    It seems that this laptop came with 512 MB of memory. In my opinion you must upgrade the memory of 1024MB if you want to use the full 128 MB shared memory.

  • Need advice on disk HARD and memory on Satellite A100

    I am buying a Satellite A100-756 which has a 120 GB of HARD drive memory and 1 GB.

    I've seen what seems like hatches for easy access to these two areas. Is it easy to upgrade, and this will affect the warranty?

    I also try to find out if the HARD drive with the laptop's SATA? Can someone help me with how to do it?

    Hello

    I'm not 100% sure, but the latest and all the latest Toshiba laptops models have SATA hard drives. To be honest you I really understood why t HDD upgrade. A100 is a newer model with really sufficient HARD drive capacity. Compare with the other laptop models and you will see 120 GB is more than enough. Upgrade of RAM is always good.

    In any case the decision is yours and you can do what you want. Upgrade memory should not be problem because the coverage of memory is in the lower corner. Sorry, but I can't tell you where is the HARD disc, but the fact is that, probably, keyboard must be removed.

    I recommend you contact your local dealer and clarify this point with him. Upgrade memory should not be a problem but to upgrade the HARD drive, it is necessary to disassemble the camera (not all), and it definitely the warranty valid.

  • Issue of the upgrade to Vista - Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

    Hello.
    Well, I think to upgrade to windows vista from my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100 (PSAA9)). I was researching (little) on the drivers and hardware compatibility with vista, and it seems that if I update now, I can't find major problems. Is this true?
    I ask because when I was looking for drivers for vista, I found many (and some of those that exist, I can't download them!) But even without a driver, vista will recognize and install drivers 'default' for the material of my laptop? Can someone answer this with some?
    My major concern is connectivity: lan and wireless! I'll be able to install the hardware drivers to operate these two things?

    Thank you very much to all those who somehow tries to help with these issues!
    Good bye.

    Hello

    I upgraded my and installed all the drivers from the card reader SD me just used for XP drivers and they worked very well. There are a lot of vista drivers now available for this model, although I am having trouble with the value added package to allow me to use the function keys and access keys.

    Apart from that, I had no other problems!

    Good luck... Let me know if value-added package that works for you, seems to be working for some but not for others.

    See you soon

  • 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 A100 (PSAAA9)

    I currently have a Satellite A100 with a Centrino Duo T2400 (1.83 GHz) CPU inside her. I was thinking of upgrading the processor in the system and I was wondering how the options available to me?

    I think go to a Core2Duo processor as well as upgrade the RAM to 2 GB (Vista Ultimate is a little slow when running many applications therefore wanting to upgrade the two CPU & RAM).

    The upgrade of the processor is not a problem for me (and I'm not worried about voiding the warranty that the price of notebooks came down significantly that buying a replacement would be less of a hassle to return the machine to the Toshiba).

    Thanks in advance

    PS. Vista works perfectly well on the A100 with full Aero tirned on with the mobility X 1400 module provided.

    Hello

    at first, I must say, I Don t understand these people who are trying to change the basic elements of a laptop. It s not your desktop! ;)
    Why you´re so buy this machine? Why you don t buy a machine with a Core2Duo processor? Perhaps you then Don t have to risk voiding your warranty. So, it s isn't my problem, but I just wanted to say.

    On the technical side (now we´re come to my thing :)) upgrading your machine will be impossible in this way you would expect.)
    The centrino duo is a cpu so so familiar with chipset you´re plug, then you know that the intel 945 GM chipset, which is integrated in this series of machines, is just specified to handle pure mobile cpu´s mobile.

    And what you think is the core 2 duo? It s not a mobile CPU and it s not possible to manage a core2duo with this chipset. Maybe a CoreDuo...
    Just a quick reminder: centrino duo has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the Core2Duo architecture!

    Have you even thought about the heat dissipation? How a cooling system that has been designed with a centrino duo would handle a Core2Duo with absolutely different heat?

    I recommend to upgrade your RAM and do not install is not useless software that breaks the performance of your machine, so won´t you need to cancel your warranty...

    I wish you a good weekend and good luck in the upgrade of your machine

  • Upgrade memory for Satellite L30-134

    I have a Satellite L30-134, which seems to work pretty slowly - I think that due to the large amount of photos and music from itunes.

    I wonder which is the best way to solve - buy a memory upgrade (no idea how to change memory well) or get an external hard drive?
    And if I change the memory I'll lose what is already saved on the laptop?

    I agree with Ganz most HARD drive will not improve performance but increase the disk space available HARD, it would be you can store more music and picture on HARD drive ;) files

    Upgrade memory also would not provide a performance gain of course performance could be a little better because most of the things would be handled directly in memory and not in time on the HARD drive, but generally it s not really noticeable.

    In any case if you want to improve memory, check this:

    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=25737&ft=m&St=3

    You must use DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM

    Hi Ben

    Maybe you used the memory modules bad.
    As far as I know that you can upgrade memory for max 192 MB
    The 64 MB has been installed in an internal memory and cannot be deleted.

    I found these compatible modules:
    PA3003U - 1 M 03 32 MB
    PS3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB
    PS3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB
