Upgrade memory Satellite A100

Hello
New to this. DOH. Put a "Legend" 1 GB memory upgrade (next to the existing 500 MB) in my A100 which acted slowly. Nothing seems to happen - in fact, still seems slower. The new does ' t memory appears under control panel - system... Does? I do another thing to implement and operate outside slotting inside?

Thanks for any advice,
Mark

Hello Mark

I can just say that people have different experiences and very often give unreserved information. I can say that you can use different memory modules (another title) but it is recommended to put more in the slot A and module with a lower capacity in the B slot.

Whether you use 100% compatible modules you will have no problems and all described will not happen. With compatible modules the laptop will go faster and the RAM all will be displayed in system properties.

I do not know what Satellite A100 you, but for my second laptop Satellite A100-504, compatible memory modules are:

DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)
Satellite A100 can handle with 4 GB RAM max. If you want to have high quality RAM modules, you can also buy Kingston RAM modules. Compatible modules you find under http://www.kingston.com/products/default.asp

Good bye

    I have the Satellite A100 - 011 (PSAARE) and I just upgraded memory RAM of 4 GB 2x2gb Kingston (KTT533D2 / 2G).
    BIOS can see all my 4 GB installed, so my windows (x 64) but my task manager shows me 3069 Mo!
    How is that possible? Is it possible to fix this? My BIOS version is 6,00.

    Hello!

    Are you sure that you have a 64-bit version of Windows XP?
    I ask this question because the Web from Toshiba website does no drivers for Windows XP 64-bit.

    If you really have a 64 bit OS make sure that you have installed all Service Packs and patches from Microsoft.

    And install a program such as Everest and watch this program shows the amount of RAM.

  • Memeroy upgrade in Satellite A100 - 529 does not work

    I am trying to upgrade memory on my Satellite A100-529 (PSAA2E). The system comes standard with DDR2 PC2-4200 1x512mo. I installed 2x512MB DDR2 PC2 5300 and the system tries to turn 5 x without success.

    All the documentation said that RAM DDR is backward compatible. The A100-529 will take only PC2 - 4200?

    According to the details of the memory, it must use the DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM memory modules!

    Using other modules you notebook primer not correctly or will not run stable!

  • Question about upgrading memory Satellite M55-S1001

    can you please recommend what to do? I want to make my satellite m55-s1001 run faster please let me know, what do you recommend: 512 MB or 1 GB of memory? I'm not familiar with updates so please help!

    Hello

    First of all, if you want to go for fastest laptop, you should start with simple things.
    Try to defragment the disk, turn off the background process is not necessary, etc.
    Upgrade memory will the powerful laptop and of course a lot more quickly.

    To my knowledge the Satellite M55 should support the bars of memory 2 x 1024MB, and I also recommend the use of 1024MB instead of 512 MB module.

  • Re: upgrade memory Satellite M70-159

    I have the Satellite m70-159 with 512 RAM and you want to upgrade memory.
    Is ddr2 sdram so-dimm PC5300, 667 Mhz kingston 1 G memory compatible with my laptop?
    I know that this memory will run as PC4200, but I don't know where to buy PC4200.
    Thank you.

    The Satellite M70 can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM.

    The Kingston RAM must be compatible with your laptop because Kingston's high-quality RAM and many users here upgraded with modules from Kingston.
    And as you say that the RAM will work as long as PC4200, it is not a problem.

  • Re: After upgrade on Satellite A100 BIOS cannot use keyboard more

    Need help... after bios upgrade for Toshiba Satellite A100 my keyboard error... now I can't use my keyboard...
    If I used the external keyboard, as there not enough power into the USB...
    Now, how come back to start bios version...

    Thank you or any medium

    Hello

    Enter the BIOS (by pressing F2 at startup) and try to check in the Bios if compatible keyboard, legacy usb support (something like that) is enabled. It should help.
    Otherwise, playing with the up/downgrade Bios (especially, demote) instead of keyboard problem, can cause the crash of the complete system with white screen.

  • Increasing memory Satellite A100-036

    Hello!

    I would like to increase the memory of my Satellite A100-036 (psaan), as 1 GB appears to be insufficient to run Vista. The problem is, I can't know which would support my A100. Now I have 512 x 2 Samsung DDR2 (533). I'm sure than 1x2GB (DDR2, 533) would be OK, but what about more? Say, 2x2gb?

    First of all, I'm not sure if chip 1x2GB would be supported by my A100. Any ideas?

    Secondly, I read somewhere that 4 GB would be supported by my Intel 945 chipset, but there is no point in it I do not have a 64-bit, 32-bit only supported ca.3.2 GB operating system. If that's true, I would be able to install 1 GB + 2 GB (3 GB total) and use it effectively? Are there recommendations on the combination of different volumes of memory chips (such as 2 GB and 512 MB)? Maybe it is better to have similar in volume?

    And one more thing: don't know if the chipset supports the faster memory (more than 553). And can I combine 553 and sth faster?

    Seems a lot of questions, but I hope that someone could find some time and help me!

    Thank you!!!

    I don't know, but your machine must be able to handle a maximum memory expansion up to 2GB. If you install more then it may happen that the machine either does not or simply memory another beyond 2 GB could not properly acknowledged and your machine breaks down.

  • After the memory upgrade in Satellite A100-1401E the system freezes

    The laptop was initially delivered with only 512 MB of RAM.

    I installed 1 GB of RAM Kingston (part No. KTT533D2 / 1 g) into the remaining free memory slot. However, whenever I turn on the computer, the system freezes within minutes and I have to re - start.

    Is it because there is an uneven amount of memory in the 2 slots? I have 512 MB in each slot or 1 GB in each slot, etc.?

    I would like your advice.

    Have you tried to change places and put 1 GB of RAM in slot A?

  • Upgrade memory satellite 1900-303.

    Hi, I just bought 1 GB of memory (2 modules of 512 MB) to upgrade my 1900-303. However, when I opened upward, first of all I don't see the memory modules and second memory does not. According to the manual, it will take 144 pin sodimm pc133 modules. That's what I bought.

    Anyone upgraded the memory on their 1900-303 and if yes what memory did you use?

    Thank you.

    Hello
    I m a bit confused about your manual!

    I ve contributed to my colleague that the upgrade of its Satellite 1900 305.

    This machine has PC2100 DDR - RAM and the laptop can handle the maximum of 768 MB memory!
    And there is only one expandable slot at the bottom of the machine.

    I Don t think the Satellite-303 and -305 are different in the memory usage. So you'd better try exchanging your memory modules first.

  • Upgrade memory satellite A110-103 - the Bios shows only 1 GB of RAM

    {color: #000000} Dear Forum Toshiba,

    I own a Toshiba Satellite A110-103 (PSABE6) bought in 2006 of the Belgium.
    I have trouble about an upgrade of RAM for this laptop. The laptop was originally a Samsung 512 MB of RAM.
    I tried to upgrade the RAM to its maximum capaity supported 2 GB.
    I bought and installed 2 Kingstone SODIMM 1 GB Value Ram DDR2 PC2 4300 units compatible with the laptop, but

    in the BIOS, I see only 1 GB of RAM.
    I tested each RAM separately and they work very well. The problem is that when I install in my

    locations of the laptop, my BIOS sees no Ram.Instead 2 GB 2 GB, it shows only 1 GB. I updated my BIOS for more later

    version 1.70 (for XP), but the laptop continues to show only 1 GB.

    I tested the RAM separately:
    -inserted only 1 stick in the drive and the pc started ok showing 1 GB of RAM
    -then I inserted the same stick in another location and it also worked well showing 1 GB of RAM
    - then I checked another unit of the RAM in the same way and worked well
    -When I try to put 1 GB of Ram and the old 512 MB RAm the BIOS correctly showed the new value of 1.5 GB
    -i also checked the other 1 GB of ram and the old 512 MB of ram and showed good again in the Bios with the value of 1.5 GB
    - but when I tried to put the 2 ram set units to obtain the BIOS only detected 1 GB 2 GB.

    Here's the description detailed 1 GB modules that I try to install:

    SLOT #1
    The module size: 1024
    Band Max bandwidth: PC2-4300(266Mhz)
    Manufacturer: Kingston
    Reference number: 9905293 - 0.14A00LF
    Serial number: 6ACC0C46
    Frequency: 200-266

    RAS # for CASE #: 3-4
    Tras:9 - 12
    TRC: 12-16
    Voltage: 1, 8V - 1, 8V

    What should I do?

    I think the problem is that the two s of RAM are not compatible, but it is not explained to me because use you two identical modules.

    In your case I return the RAM to the computer dealer and say the modules work together in your notebook, but your laptop definitely supports 2 GB of RAM.

    I think that there is no other way because you have updated your BIOS to the latest version.
    Here is the part number for RAM Toshiba compatible:
    1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

  • Is it possible to upgrade the Satellite A100-906 with 160 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive

    Hello guys,.

    First of all, I would like to congratulate all the people here for their good advice.
    As for my question, I want to upgrade my HARD drive. I have the laptop A100-906, which has a drive HARD 100 GB 5400 RPM Hitachi.

    The hard drive, I would like to buy, is also Hitachi but with the highest capacity (160 GB) and RPM faster (7200 against 5400).
    I wonder, if my laptop supports this drive and if I have problems with temperature and noise, because the HARD drive runs at 7200 RPM.

    To summarize the above, is it really useful to replace my old 5400 RPM HARD drive to a new 7200 RPM?
    Should I buy a new one with 5400 RPM to avoid having problems of temperature and noise?

    Please let me know your opinion and thank you in advance.
    STL

    Hello

    As you already know we can only speculate on the size of the HARD disk
    In my opinion the 160 GB would be possible. But it s just my personal opinion.

    In any case, the higher speed (7200 RPM) HARD drive should be a problem. I noticed that many laptops use 7200 RPM HDDs and 5200 RPM. So I imagine that the heat produced by the HARD drive shouldn't t increase the level of temperature at a critical level.

  • Question on buying memory Satellite A100-225

    I'm looking at buying 2 new Modules of memory DDR2 PC4200 1 GB to take my laptop to its maximum available memory of 2 GB.

    I tried searching Toshibas Web site, but the part number in the manual online (PA3411U-1M1G) doesn't seem to be available.

    Does anyone know of a dealer that I can visit (preferably a real store, rather than an eTailer) to buy this memory of. Everyqhere I google for the module is proving to be an eTailer =)

    Thanks for any help

    PS

    It says on the product for the 225 specifications page, its maximum expansion capability is 4 GB, but I don't see how this is possible, because there are only 2 Slots on the machine, anyone know?

    Hello

    I found information that these modules are memory compatible:
    DDR2-533 256 MB (PA3389U - 2M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-533 PA3412U - 2 M (51)
    1 GB OF DDR2-533 (PA3411U-2M1G)

    The maximum memory size of 4 GB is just. I think the 2 GB sticks of memory, that you will buy in the future.
    You can buy all the parts and also modules of memory of the Toshiba service partner in your country.

    1. This should be the T7600 Core2Duo
    2. use the T7600
