upgrade of RAM (or swap?)

• Satellite P10 804 will not accept the upgrade of RAM

  Apologies, this is it is a bit long and also if this question has been covered elsewhere here: I had a good nose autour and have not found something that seems to help.

  In any case, I had a Satellite P10 804 during these past years, I bought in the United Kingdom.

  Quite early in my time with this laptop, I upgraded the RAM. It was 3 or 4 years ago, when memory was not as cheap right now, so I bought just a single 1 GB module. P10-804 will take up to 2 GB of RAM.

  The P10 804 came with 512 GB as standard in two modules. My upgrade means I got 1.25 GB, which was in very good health. Everything was fine until the end of last year when the defective laptop; I followed the fault in module 1 GB of RAM. It was a bit awkward since I now live in New Zealand. However, the provider of the RAM was very professional, stood by their warranty, and we arranged a swap. RAM prices had fallen, so I bought another module of 1 GB at the same time upgrade the laptop completely.

  Now the problems really started. The laptop would not simply work with the new installed RAM modules. It would work with one alone, nor even less with my old configuration of a module of 1 GB and 256 GB module. Start and run for five minutes before a freeze; white screen with fans roar; blue screen; frozen screen normal with strange objects; No start at all. everything.

  Everything that works now is my original 256 MB module (his partner disappeared). This leads me to assume that I don't have some sort of hardware failure?

  1 GB modules are DDR333 SODIMM, CL2.5. This laptop will also have the DDR266 modules, and it has been suggested to me, lower speed might work. I can try this option since the RAM prices are * really * low now, especially if I get confirmation of this as a valid strategy possible.

  The laptop BIOS is updated to v2.00 (maybe?), and I also upgraded the HDD to a 120 GB unit (this works very well and is partitioned for XP and Linux). And from time to time I empty the fan.

  Any advice welcome. Thanks for reading.

  Reading your message, I came to the conclusion that this issue must be linked to the new RAM module and this module is malfunctioning or is not fully compatible with your laptop.

  The P10 can be upgraded to 2 GB, so you should be able to use two single RAM 1 GB modules

  So it must be a module problem

  2. how many RAM sticks are there?
  
  Let's try the following steps:

  Also launch memory diagnostic tool. How will I know if my computer has a memory problem?

  If there are 2 RAM sticks, remove one RAM Strip and check the speed. You can also try to swap the RAM sticks and check.

  For more help, I suggest that you post your question in the HP support forum.

• The upgrade of RAM will improve the speed side Windows and Mac?

  I use VMware fusion for music production and this program requires plenty of work. I have a MacBook Pro 4 GB of ram and when I turn on VMware it goes to 2 GB of ram in Mac and 2 GB ram under windows. My Mac's speed is normal when VMware fusion is off but when I turn on my Mac is very slow. The upgrade of ram will improve the speed on mac and also windows (windows is also very slow)

  BTW, my English is not very good

  Well, take a peek in the Windows Task Manager to see how much memory is required/used. If an operating system requires more memory available, it will start to swap out the disk, which will introduce a huge performance impact. If the answer to your question is probably yes.

  PS: After adding memory to the host, you must also change the client memory for the virtual machine.

• Upgrade of RAM for Satellite Pro S300-11

  Hello
  I have this netbook for two years now and I need to add more memory RAM, it has 2 GB and is capable of having up to 8 GB.
  I went to two local stores to buy a memory stick, but they are not able to find my netbook to their suppliers, so that they have no idea what memory modules could go well with my pc. I know that the installed RAM module is a DDR2 at 800 MHz. So, any module of ram with these specifications should work correctly?
  Another question is if my computer is able to read up to 8 GB or I have to upgrade the BIOS (I have not updated, so I have one pre-installed).
  Thanks for your reply and sorry for my English!
  See you soon!

  Hi manelfera,

  The laptop has Intel GM45 chipset and the chipset supports up to 8 GB of memory. This means that you can install 4 GB module in both memory slots. As you already wrote DDR2 800 MHz is the correct specification.

  Theoretically, each module with this specification will work, but I recommend the purchase of high quality of Kingston for example modules. I have good experiences with this brand :)

  Updating the BIOS is not necessary for the upgrade of RAM so you can keep the current version.

• Upgrade of RAM 550 d-105 NB

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba NB 550 d-105 netbook, and I want to upgrade the ram in it. I read that the restriction of 2 GB ram is only because of Windows Starter.

  Processor AMD C-50 supports 4 GB of RAM? If so, does that mean I close no start and change of normal Windows 32-bit OS or 64-bit?

  > I read ram 2 GB restriction is only because of Windows Starter

  Upgrade RAM depends on the chipset.
  Also 32 bits of the system supports max 3.2 GB of RAM if you want to use more RAM 4 GB, 8 GB, etc. then you must use a 64-bit system.

  Regarding the NB550D-105:
  As far as I know the 1 GB or 2 GB RAM (DDR3 1066 Mhz or 1333 Mhz) memory sticks can be installed.
  Some models could handle 1 GB or 2 GB modules (DDR2-800 and DDR3-1066 or 1333 Mhz DDR3)

• HARD drive and upgrade of RAM for Satellite A200 1AE

  Hello

  I plan to upgrade my RAM and HARD drive.
  I am currently using a 120 GB SATA HDD and 2x512mb ddr2 667 Mhz (out of the box state).
  My questions are:

  [1] will a WD Scorpio blue work SATA II 500 GB HARD drive at 5400 RPM on my laptop? If this is not the case, what is the maximum GB for my laptop's HARD drive (if there are any)?
  [2] a 2x2gb ddr2 667 Mhz will work? If not, what is the maximum?

  BTW, the Specs are Intel Core2Duo 1.73 Ghz T5300's family Vista premium sp2 (preloaded) OS, BIOS Phoenix version 1.20, Chipset intel 945 (I think).

  Thanks in advance.

  > 1] will a WD Scorpio blue 500 GB 5400 RPM SATA II drive HARD work on my laptop?
  It should work since the SATA controller is not limited to any size of HARD drive.

  > [2] Will work 2x2gb ddr2 667 Mhz? If not, what is the maximum?
  The laptop supports Intel® 945 GM chipset. The upgrade of RAM depends on the chipset.
  AFAIK the 667 Mhz Rams should be clocked at 533 Mhz
  But you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB)

• Re: Satellite Pro A300D-161 - I want to upgrade the RAM to 4 GB

  Hello, I want to upgrade my RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB.

  The laptop box, said the other: 2 GB DDR2 800 Mhz, but when I check the CPU - Z it says 400 Mhz

  http://img140.imageshack.us/i/cpuz1.PNG/
  http://img267.imageshack.us/i/cpuz2.PNG/

  The website of toshiba says also 800 Mhz, so wich 1 I need to buy?
  1 x 2 GB DDR2 - 400 Mhz
  or
  2 x 2 GB DDR2 - 800 Mhz

  Also, I wonder when I switch to 4 GB, the amount of memory will be dedicated to my video card?

  Thank you

  Hello

  CPU - Z is definitely wrong! Satellite Pro A300D-161 needs DDR2-800 MHz to upgrade according to the specs on the Toshiba site.
  If the information on the laptop box is correct.

  More video RAM will be assigned automatically and with 4 GB of RAM you will get more memory video too.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A120 - I want to upgrade the RAM

  Hello

  I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Satellite Pro A120 Model No.: PSAC1E-05C00VEN

  I'm getting conflicting reports as to how this can actually take, some sites say a 1 GB maximum per slot max so 2 GB while most of the others say max 2 GB per slot

  I was hoping you could advise me.

  Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  Hello!

  Your Satellite Pro A120 is equipped with the Intel 945 GM chipset and so you can upgrade it to 4 GB of RAM.
  Only models with ATI chipset can be upgraded to 2 GB and I think this is the reason why some sites say that it can be upgraded to 2 GB and others at 4 GB.

  However, for the upgrade of RAM DDR2-RAM PC2-5300 (DDR2-677). You can buy 2 GB modules for a maximum of 4 GB.
  But don t forget that only a 64 bit OS supports 4 GB of RAM.

  Good bye

• NB200 - upgrade the RAM and install Windows 7?

  Hello to you guys.

  I'm back and received the news for you. I got my new Toshiba NB200-10Z. I would like to ask you:

  What are your comments on the upgrade of RAM? The difference is notable? It worth the cost?
  What RAM memory slot I'm supposed to get? And what is the maximum memory I can update?

  What are your ideas on installing Windows 7 as the only operating system OR to have both on different partitions?

  Thank you all in advance

  Hello

  Just one question: you have a new laptop and why you didn t consult the user manual?
  I ask this because in the user manual, you can find all the information on the upgrade of the RAM.
  In my opinion RAM upgrade is always useful because the RAM modules are cheap nowadays and with 2 or 3 GB, you have enough RAM for applications.

  Regarding the issue of Windows 7 you can install it if you want, why not? You can do what you want with your laptop, but I prefer the pre-installed version of XP at the moment because Windows 7 isn't on the market yet.
  If you want to install you need extra partition for it.

• Satellite L30 - frequent BSoD after upgrade of RAM.

  This problem is almost identical to [this post | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=144540𣒜], but given that the response was too general and did not help, I want to provide more details about my problem and hope for a better answer.

  My L35 (i.e. American L30) came with Vista Home Basic and only 512M of RAM. It was slow, but smooth otherwise. The problems started after I upgraded the RAM to 2 GB occasionally a BSoD will appear, and the computer restarts after a second or two.
  Most of the time, instances of BSoD are not taken at random; usually, it happens when you watch a film or multimedia and online during the wake her up after suspend.
  Also, it happens much more frequently if an external monitor is attached. He does, connect an external monitor and watch a movie will result in BSoD with 100% certainty. My laptop has shared video memory, maybe it's a question here.

  The problem prevailed after that I installed Windows 7.
  Memtest86 + showed no problems with my memory
  Memtest86 covers all aspects of the use of the RAM?

  Is it possible that some problems may be overlooked by memtest86?
  Are there other tests of memory, that I could use, specifically to test the shared video memory?

  Not every hardware problem can be detected software.
  You have tested the RAM with Memtest86 +? Try using Memtest86 (no +).

  In the worst case, you must replace the RAM. Ask the dealer for a new computer. I m sure they will help you.
