  No, the graphics card can not be upgraded

  What you can do, it is memory and the upgrade of the HARD drive. This should be very easy and should cause no serious problems.

  Upgrading CPU is little tricky.

• Upgrade memory for Qosmio G30-201 of 2 GB to 4 GB

  I want to buy 4 GB of memory upgrade to 2 GB.

  What makes are compatible & reliaible. Any advice on Corsair, Kingston, Crucial, Transcend?

  Several of these RMP sell "Value" ram under their own name - are these OK?

  I have a Qosmio G30-201, with the following specifications:

  Technology Intel® Centrino® Duo Mobile with Intel® Core 2 Duo processor T7400 - Genuine Windows® XP Media Center Edition - 400 (200 + 200) GB drive hard - 2 048 (1, 024 + 1, 024) MB of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz) - 17 "Toshiba TruBrite® TFT WUXGA screen-DVD - ROM HD player

  Best regards

  Best thing you can do is to use Kingston memory modules. Kingston offers high quality products and using RAM Kingston you have no compatibility problems.

  You can find good 2 GB for your Qosmio HEREmodules.

• Upgrade HDD/SSD on Qosmio G30-126

  I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade existing at a larger size HARD drive or just a large and an SSD.

  Question 1: what is the size for the two new HARD drives because the power supply is limited?
  Question2: For now, I run the two HARD a disc, so no RAID. Is it possible that I can determine what is on which drive? I do not envy the dumping everything on a drive connected and then import the new HARD disk.
  Question3: Is there a substantial improvement in speed when using the SSD as a HARD drive? I run W7 professional and compared to Mint example startup is pathetically slow.

  Appreciate answers or suggestions.

  Hello

  Qosmio G30 already supports SATA interface and so general, interface SATA has no capacity limit. If you can install a SATA 2.5 HARD drive with all the sizes. Ore of 500 GB drives is no problem on SATA interface so it s on applications and data based on what size you want / need.

  If your laptop is capable of managing 2 hard/SSD drives, you can buy an SSD 128GB for example for Windows and your applications and a HDD (500 GB) for your data.

  Disc SSD is faster than hard drives, but they are more expensive. SSD are perfect for the OS itself and programs but for data such as photos, music, etc. Hard drives are fast enough.

  I want to upgrade the memory to 4096.

  Do I have to buy memory 4096, or if I add 2048?

  What memory to buy? Toshiba do not seem to sell MB RAM DDR2 (533 MHz) after 4 years. What other memory would be appropriate?

  Thank you very much

  Best regards

  Nick

  Your laptop can handle with 4 GB of RAM and I recommend you to use the 2 x 2GB module.
  Compatible 2 GB module has part number PA3513U-1M2G or Kingston KTT667D2 / 2G.

  Put the shadow party in Google and you will find a place where you can order it in your country.

• Upgrading RAM on Qosmio G30-204

  Hi people like many of you would know that the G30-204 works on 2GB of memory RAM.
  I would like to spend so the most I could probably install is that isn't a 2 GB?

  What businesses would be recommended?
  Is the RAM200pin?
  Its 533 mhz would be something higher cause a problem?

  Thank you

  Hello!

  Why you n check t your user manual? You will find the denunciations, al you want to know.

  However, the Qosmio G30 can be upgraded to 4 GB of RAM. Therefore, you must with 200pin laptop RAM and DDR2 533/667 MHz.
  I have good experiences with the Kingston modules. I always use for the upgrade of my notebooks.

• Qosmio G30-204 - upgrade of the WLAN card

  Hi people.

  I currently have an Intel pro/Wireless 3945ABG Network card in my laptop. If I had to upgrade to a newer version, which we'd be one of the newest and best for my laptop?

  And the new WiMax from Intel would work in the Qosmio G30 - 204?

  Hey Buddy,

  The antenna is placed under the cover of the display and cables are placed under the keyboard or with other words, they are connected to the wireless network card.

  By the way: an upgrade to the draft N standard is not possible. In my view an update of the WLAN card is not logical.

• Qosmio G30-163: Core Duo T2500 Core 2 Duo T2500 processor upgrade?

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G30-163 which has 2.0 GHz Core duo. That I wonder if it is possible to change this processor to processor core 2 duo at the same speed or maybe a lil faster since the duo core 2 CPU produced less heat than core duo, I've heard...

  Is guaranteed get trashed if I pay an official toshiba service bureau to replace the cpu?
  Why I want to change the processor is think about running 64 bit OS that is not supported by core duo cpu, core 2 duo CPU does support 64-bit...

  Hello

  Of course, everything is theoretically possible ;) but practice isn't very easy.
  To my knowledge, Toshiba doesn't support any replacement of CPU and upgrades and so I don t think you will get a new BIOS specially for this laptop.

  The F30 seems to be a new laptop. Therefore, you must know that you will lose your warranty if you open the notebook and remove the CPU!
  In my view, it is not worth

• Upgrade to Vista Edition Home Premium on Qosmio G30-116

  I thought I had covered until after I started the upgrade of power. To see that there are still several drivers who did not prpoerly including the video card.

  Also the test under icons was blurred. I tried several different approaches with clear Type etc. and increasin size but not luck.

  1. What is the best advice for the upgrade? is it still worth in waiting for toshiba to produce a package
  2. What are the recommendations for the establishment of siplays of Vista?

  Hello

  First of all you need to know what are the right drivers for you unit.
  It seems that the Qosmio G30-116 is a part of the PQG30E series. So if you're going to download all of the drivers that you must choose that number in the download form pilot!

  I checked the Toshiba page and unfortunately, I didn't find that several drivers for Vista as RAID driver or stack of BT.

  However, it seems that you must update the BIOS before installing Vista.

  But now for you questions:

  > 1. What is the best advice for the upgrade? is it still worth in waiting for Toshiba to produce a package
  Well, I would recommend install clean Vista separately on a second partition.
  And Yes, if you want to use the whole functions to wait for Vista drivers

  > 2. What are the recommendations for configuring Vista displays?
  After the version of the graphics driver you should simply install it. The driver will choose the best settings.

• Qosmio G30 - how to upgrade the BIOS?

  Qosmio G30 and Windows Vista

  Hello
  I want to update BIOS and I fear that there is a risk that the way in which the process is done safely. Step by step please

  Thank you byee

  Hi vip78!

  I agree with Akuma but another question: why you want to update the BIOS? As you already wrote this update is a bit risky and that s right so this update should only be done if you can see a few problems with the laptop. Otherwise I wouldn t do an update of the BIOS.

  Maybe there is another solution for your problem ;)

• Qosmio G30 (PQG31) - problem with cloned hard drives

  Hi all!

  * Qosmio G30-154 * (* PQG31 *).

  Demo of the Qosmio has 2 hard drives with XP MCE (32 bit) installed on the primary.
  The RAID parameters are JBOD.
  BIOS is "newer" 3.90

  I would try to upgrade the drives (without installing any OS) and... have a problem!
  BSOD "Stop 0x0000007B" after 'clone with resizing' for the main HARD disk.

  I read on [drivers Toshiba RAID | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=48489] also [how to integrate the AHCI driver when installing Windows XP | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm] and (or)
  [SATA and AHCI Intel Matrix Storage Management Software: "the installation program found no hard disk units installed in your computer" Error Message during Manual Installations | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7B020R0000R01.htm], but I don't want to install OS, I want to keep intact my OS work.
  F6 (for all usb drivers) is not available to boot OS, sorry.

  "cloned" drive is in line with the correct name of made in the BIOS. "Cloned" secondary drive works (with old primary school). How to get access to the new primary OS and loading cloned? Please, any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think that the system cannot boot to the new HARD disk as the partition where the system is installed, was not marked as bootable system partition.

  I recommend to insert the previous HARD drive and to start the laptop.
  HARD drive new, cloned could be connected as an external HARD drive to a USB port.

  Then you should go to disk management (right click my computer - manage-> management-> disk management computer)
  Here you can see the HARD internal disk and the 2nd HARD drive connected to the USB port
  Right-click on the partition (2nd HARD drive) where the Win XP has been installed and choose the partition as the system partition and mark it as active.

  Then you could change the HARD drive again and could power the device in place. Usually, the system should boot to the top of the new marked system partition.

• Qosmio G30-163 - update from XP to Win 7

  Is this possible please? I downloaded the Windows Upgrade Advisor and he ran and he scored loads of applications. who does not work under Win 7.

  It seems that this model is too old. I also checked the websites of Toshiba models supported for Win 7 and the G30 is not listed. Thank you.

  Hello

  If you want to switch to Win7 I recommend doing a clean install of Win 7.
  The Qosmio G30 drivers are listed on the page of European driver of Toshiba under the area of the Archive (in the product type click on archive).

  But not all drivers Win 7 therein, but is not a big problem since Win 7 should install most drivers automatically

  Toshiba tools missing as VAP (value added package), utility Support Flash memory card or even other Toshiba tools can be downloaded from the other series Qosmio G40 G50, but you must pay attention to a specific driver as the driver or Wlan poster
  In this case, he must use the drivers that are made for chips built in Notepad
