Upgrade memory RAM of 2 GB or 4 GB on Satellite U205-S5057?

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite U205 - S5057 Intel Core 2 T5500 1.66 GHz, 1 GB of RAM

I want to upgrade the RAM and I'm not sure of what would give the best performance, 4-GB, or 2GB?

I know that 4 GB is probably better than 2 GB, but I wanted to know if there is a very big difference.

Worth the investment to upgrade to 4 GB?

Furthermore, I have Vista

Thank you

Hi mate,

in most cases, 2 GB are absolutely enough since the Windows operating systems cannot take the advantages of more than 2 GB of RAM installed.

I mean, you'll recognize a difference between 1 GB and 2 GB, but when comparing 2GB 4 GB then won´t you notice anything (except a little differences when working with Corel Draw X 3 and loading of 3 or 5 GB of photos in Corel... ;))

So I suggest to increase your RAM and if you then want to put some larger HARD drive and faster in your machine from a disk faster HARD wins more performance, then all the rest in a mobile computer system.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 - upgrade - upgrade memory RAM

    Hello together!

    For your information:

    Upgrade memory today to 2 Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 (1.9 GH, 256 MB DDR - RAM initially), both up to 1 GB, all fine and no problems.

    Wanted to just end rumors "only 512 MB all together" or even less.

    If you are looking for, don't forget to think of the specifications:

    DDR-266 (PC2100)
    DDR-SDRAM, SO-DIMM
    200 PINS
    2.5 CL

    concerning the frequency of the RAM, building shape etc.

    Greetings

    L0nestar

    P.S.: Don't think that a debate is necessary, thread could be closed...

    According to the specifications of the computer laptop Satellite Pro has two memory slots and can be upgraded up to 1 GB. It is very useful to have confirmation on the RAM upgrade for this model of laptop old but still good.

    Good day.

  • HP ENVY laptop - 15-k277ca: upgrade memory RAM - HP ENVY 15 Notebook

    Hi all!

    Last weekend, I upgraded the RAM in my laptop HP ENVY laptop - 15-k277ca.

    The machine has 1 module of 8 GB by factory, so I bought another module of 8 GB (same brand and same rate).

    But the problem is that the machine does not recognize this second module, neither in the BIOS nor so

    I am running Windows company 10 x 64.

    The weird part is that I downloaded the CPU-Z, and this software recognizes the two modules.

    Any idea?

    Here is the image of the CPU - Z software (where memories are recognized)

    See tensions? You've mixed low-voltage and voltage regular memory. They can be the same machine and the speed, but they are not the same tension. This will cause problems as you see. The computer is designed to work the DDR3L memory (1.35 volts). When you correspond to the modules, you really need to match modules. Can you confirm part numbers printed on both modules and the specifications on the labels?

  • Re: Satellite L305 - help upgrade memory RAM

    I had a Vista 32 bit SP1 L305.

    It came with 2 GB memory DDR2 6400 (two sticks of 1 GB). I have upgraded to 4 GB using two sticks of 2B) is there something else I should do to get the win to use additional memory.

    I've seen many debates about 32-bit processes only between 3 and 3.5 GB total. I'm not worried about it. My system is always only using the factory to 2 GB. I went into the BIOS. However I see nothing importantthat I can change. I'm confussed. Where is the clock speeds up memory allocations etc.

    Y at - there a trick to this or have I just blush $$$ in the toilet.

    Did you buy compatible RAM modules?

  • Satellite A500 - 1 GR - upgrade memory RAM but 3 GB of usable system memory

    I have upgraded my laptop to 8 GB (2 * 4 GB) ram. A 64 bit version of Windows 7 shows that I have 8 GB of memory, but there are only 3 GB of usable system memory. How do I use the 8GB. My Bios version is 2.00. In the Bios, I have not found the option 'enable the memory remapping feature '.

    This option doesn't exist in the BIOS and everything is controlled automatically. The BIOS update will not change.
    As much as I know about laptops Toshiba you cannot force for laptop to use a set amount of RAM.

    Hello

    According to specification for laptop, that your laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM. Tested and recommended 4GB module has part number PA3677U-1M4G amd it's 1066 MHz.

    Unfortunately in the specifications of the laptop I didn t find what's the speed of the FSB for Mobile Intel HM55 Express Chipset, but you can check it on the Intel support page.

    If you still need help let us know.

  • HP dv6-1354us: failed to upgrade memory RAM DV6-1354us

    Hello

    I just bought a 8 GB Patriot Signature DDR3 PC3 - 10600 (1333 MHz) Double Data Rate single module Non-ECC Unbuffered SODIMM 1.5V power required for my laptop that, according to the specifications of the product, taken Max memory supported is 8 GB. (but don't know if the 8 we can be in a slot or if it takes 2 x 4 GB)

    When I plugged the only module Ram laptop (after all procedures safe to change modules) and turn on the machine, remains but no signal video, it did not show the HP logo, I waited several minutes to see if the system needed time to update new material but without good result. So I want to ask what could be the problem? or If someone could tell me on the type memory to buy and upgrade. I tried this module of Ram of Patriot in the other laptop and it actually works, so there is no problem with that. y at - it a way to make this module works by maybe update the Bios of the computer laptop (im) using the F.36 version or any other solution?

    Any help will be appreciated, thanks for your time.

    either by the way, I checked with manufacturers of CRUCIAL and they suggested different modules DDR3 PC3 - 12800 1600 Mhz Ram upgrade, so I thought that adaptation PC3 - 10600 1333 MHz module should have worked, im confused.

    You are the very welcome.

    I think that this could be the problem, or the 4 GB memory you just tried is of a different voltage (1.35v), either a too high density.

    Your laptop needs memory low density (low density normally distinguished by the chips of black small 8 memory on each side of the circuit board) and 1.5 V memory needs.  The 1.35v (DDR3L) memory may not work on older chipsets.

    Higher density memory has usually 4 small black chips on each side of the circuit board.

  • DM4-2165dx: upgrade Memory (RAM)

    I think the upgrade from 2x3gb (6 GB of total Ram) that came with my laptop when I bought it. The max that can take the laptop's 8 GB of Ram, so I was wondering what I need to get some a rendering for the dm4-2165dx? Or I can buy a regular 2 x 4 GB (8 GB Ram) to a store of electronics for laptops?

    Okay, let's start with the idea that you have modules of 2 x 3 gig... No, it's a 4 GB and a 2 gig. No such thing as 3 modules together. There is also no such thing as regular memory made for laptops. Memory comes in configurations and different speeds. Your laptop uses of the DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM:

    Supports up to 8 GB of memory system support dual channel DDR3 - 1333 MHz.

    In order to get max of 8 GB you throw your module 2 gig and put another one of these in there:

    4 GB 621569-001

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Y91mO9JyUak

    You can probably find the memory that you can use in a local store if you just let them know you need of low density of the DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM (8 black blocks on the side of the chip, not 4).
