Upgrade memory to the Satellite Pro A120-185 PSAC1E

The original installed memory of 1 GB in my trusty old A120 is now become a bit of a factor limiting and I want to upgrade to the full 4 GB. I checked this site and it says that the memory runs at 533 MHz.

However, looking at various other sites suggested that some varieties of this laptop can run memory running at 667 MHz - according to its region!

Anyone knows which is the right speed?
Obviously, I want to put a faster RAM in it when I update, but if we can't run it, I don't want to waste money I can't use memory especially.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

> However looking at various other sites given to think that some varieties of this laptop can run memory running at 667 MHz - according to its region!
Depends on the FSB (front side bus)

If the FSB would allow the 667 Mhz, then the modules of memory also would go to 667 Mhz. If the FSB supports only 533 Mhz then your modules will be run max 533 Mhz even though the modules support 667 Mhz.
Simply said; the FSB can slow down the speed of the memory.

Welcome them

  • Upgrade memory on the Satellite Pro A200

    Have two cell phones of #PSAE1E - 00T002EN Satellite Pro A200 and wanted to know if I can pass the 2 x 1 GB memory 2 x 2 GB?

    If I understand correctly what ask you, you want to upgrade memory of 4 GB laptops.

    Well, I think that it s is not possible.
    The Satellite Pro A200 supports maximum 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB), then you will not be able to use 2 x 2 GB modules.

  • Performance on a Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista problems

    Can someone help me with this.
    My laptop is a new Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista.

    I had my last configuration less portable, but you know what? He was faster!

    I'm supposed to have cetrino duo 2, 2 GHz and cach of 4 MB, FSB 667 MHz, RAM 1 GB, even though they are at 533 MHz, 100 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive / MIN.

    It is slow, not only starting, programs opening, plays something, the browser and even to copy from the CD to the hard drive sometimes give me time 4 days left!

    Clicking on something takes forever. What's wrong?
    Need less to say that with vista no and I mean none, of my devices are busy. Dongle Bluetooth, USB disk, printer, NAS, and and...

    Hey dude,

    Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
    There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

    The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

    In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
    All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly

  • Satellite Pro A120-185 - need Vista Recovery disk - never get a

    Hello, my trusty Satellite Pro C: is completely filled, and so I would wipe and do complete a new installation of Windows.

    It came with VISTA on it when I bought it several years ago.

    It's a Satellite Pro A120-185 and the operating system only disk I got with it was just something to 'upgrade' disc of Vista.
    I bought and paid for Windows Vista with the laptop, thus so I wouldn't have a license can I reinstall?

    Please note that I am an advanced PC user, I'm not looking for ways to reduce the space that my household is good and I uninstalled everything I do not use or need.

    I just want to be able to clean the laptop and reinstall Windows Vista... is it going to be possible? (I don't see why it shouldn't be because Vista came with the laptop!). Please tell me where I can get the windows disk since?

    Hi dude

    Read the other discussions on this topic even here in the forum.

    You didn t get this disk because you create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc Creator called pre-installed tool.
    This was mentioned in the manual as well!

    However, here you can order the recovery disk that you didn't create yourself.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - 169 PSAC1E: Impossible to install the 64 bit OS

    Hello

    I have the Satellite Pro A120 (169) model PSAC1E-04X024BT and I inserted 2 x DA-PA3513U-1M2G (Dane-Elec 2 GB SODIMM PC2-5300) memory, so a total of 4 GB of memory.

    I know to have 4 GB in a BONE, you need to run a 64 bit OS.
    But my processor is an Intel Centrino DUO T2050 1.6ghz (Intel Core DUO T2050).

    After reading the manual I was convinced that I am able to run a 64 bit OS... but the time of its installation, the Setup program will not continue... as my CPU is 32-bit...

    Is this true? Or do I have to change something in the BIOS? (Version 3.4)

    Thank you

    Hello!

    Yes, it true s that your processor supports only 32 bit and not 64 bit.
    Here, you check only the Intel specifications posted by redhawk.

    Sorry mate, but on this laptop, you can only use a 32 bit OS.

    Good bye

  • Praise for Toshiba - I own a Satellite Pro A120 model: PSAC1A - 00K 005

    Hi all

    Here's a bunch of praise from a proud Australian customer!

    I currently own a Satellite Pro A120 (model: PSAC1A - K 00, 005) Windows XP Professional... I do not have an ounce of trouble with this computer and not have it to a Toshiba service center in the almost three years I've owned it so far! This computer received training from me at the moment and never gave me any major problems!

    The only problem I had (and it wasn't linked computer) was that my modem to broadband wireless gave the soul and I had to have a professional appearance of home - COMPUTER problem is the modem! I had previously updated a week before and it overloaded for sodomy and he said, "I don't want to play more!" and stopped working! This then cost me $ 299 for a new modem and on the reverse a new first a loser who has been blamed by my ISP and I went back and got a new free! What prompted my parents to go out and buy a Satellite A300 (unknown model yet!) so that they can use it in their business!

    Toshiba, you are to be congratulated on a great product and I will buy only a portable Toshiba in the future!

    Hmm very strange and to be honest, I think that you have disabled something accidentally in the sound properties.

    However, first of all, you must check if the sound card driver has been installed correctly in Device Manager. Usually you shouldn't t see yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager.
    So, if there is no yellow exclamation point then everything has been installed correctly and the question must relate to the wrong audio settings.

    I put t know what OS you are using but the generally volume properties lie in the-> sound and audio devices Control Panel.
    I recommend that you check the volume if necessary and unique controls it the highest value.

    By the way; did you check if you can hear the sound through the headset?
    Check too!

  • Upgrade memory on a Satellite Pro 4270XDVD

    Hello

    I need help. I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270XDVD. I want to increase my memory, as I have only 64 guidelines that come with it. When I opened the back of the computer to check the memory locations there are 2 empty ones. There is a Slot A and B. The problem is that A slot is broken. The 2 clamps that hold the memory are absent. Someone broke them up. B of Slot memory seems OK, and I put a barrette of memory in it. The problem is that my manual says not to use slot B if A slot is empty. Do you know why this is? Also is it possible to fix the clips in A slot without replacing the entire motherboard.

    Thanks for your help,

  • Upgrade memory for a Satellite Pro 4320

    I own a Satellite Pro 4320. He has the memory factory (64 MB), and I want to develop it. I read in the manual that it is possible to install up to 576 MB. But in other documents and web pages, I read that 320 MB is the maximum memory.

    Anyone know what is the right number?

    Does anyone know where to find 256 MB modules (if they can be installed)? I found only 128 MB modules.

    Thanks in advance

    I found information that 320 MB Max for this device. I have also not lucky to find the 256 MB RAM module for this device. There are two possibilities. You can contact the partner in your country and stopped a single module or you have to find some pieces of mobile equipment supplier in your country.

  • Upgrading memory on the Satellite L500D - 13 c

    Hello!

    I own a laptop Satellite L500D - 13 c and I am considering upgrading memory 2 x 2 GB 2 x 4 GB RAM. According to a specific model list on the accessories compatible with the 4 GB of PC2 DDR2 (800 MHz) memory, item # PA3670U-1M4G, is recommended by Toshiba.

    What I want to know is if this module specific memory (with article # PA3670U-1M4G) is the only compatible module for my laptop or if I could get and buy bars of memory corresponding (and hopefully cheaper) with the same specifications (800 mhz, etc.) without damaging my PC?

    TI would appreciate some advice on this.

    See you soon!

    Hello

    You can also buy another module of memory with the same specifications. Fact is that some modules at low cost and without name can be initially responsible for compatibility issues. It may happen starting cell phone s display will be remains black.

    Therefore I recommend you to use high quality modules and Kingston is one of the best manufacturers of memory modules.

    I understand that you want to save your money but you buy it now and it should work properly.

  • Upgrade memory on the Satellite NB10t-A-102

    Hello

    on NB10t-A-102, I want to change the memory and the increase of 8 GB or 16 GB
    Can make us this change?

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop RAM can be upgraded up to 4 GB, and obviously with 4 GB of RAM inside it is already on the maximum.

    Unfortunately on this forum we do not have much info on this new machine, but in the past we discussed on older models with 1 GB of RAM maximum but in the end, it was possible to update.

    If no one can help with this I recommend you try the upgrade with 8 GB of RAM to check how it works. Number of RAM you should test is PA5104U-1M8G.

    If possible, send feedback.
