• Question about the extension of RAM for Satellite A50-522

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A50-522, with a Pentium M 715 @1. 5 Ghz processor and Intel 855GME chipset. To expand its RAM I referred to the Spain/Toshiba support website and I bought the PA3313U-2M1G (1 GB SDRAM 166 MHz DDR333/PC2700) via amazon.com. It turns out that this RAM is for "Alviso chipsets" - which are those relating to the Intel Centrino processors with 9xx series express chipset. I called Toshiba/USA and they recommend the PA3313U-1M1G or its equivalent Kingston KTT3311 / 1 G (since it is impossible to find in the Mexico), instead of the one I already bought. They all seem exactly the same thing in their description, except for the note "alviso chipset.

  My questions are:
  (a) is the chipset of this computer, considered "alviso" type? and
  (b) if not, should I keep the RAM I bought already (PA3313U-2M1G for alviso chipset)?, can I have performance or compatibility problems? What are the risks of the use of this "alviso RAM' in a 'no-alviso chipset? I deeply appreciate your input.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The RAM modules for especially for chipsets alviso are not known to me, but the Satellite A50-522 certainly supports the memory PC2700 PA3313U-1M1G bar.
  I guess the PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G are the same modules from memory.

  PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G memory module are supported the same specifications of 1 GB - SO DIMM 200 pin - DDR - 333 MHz PC2700

  I think you can use both modules without any problem.

• How can I reduce the amount of RAM Java uses to 750 MB?

  Minecraft [a PC game] was running slowly, so I decided to give it more RAM. I went in the Java Control Panel and set it so that Java uses 1 GB of RAM. I went to my properties to see how much my computer's RAM, and it said I 2,00 GB [1,60 GB usable]. I realized that Java was using more than half of the RAM in my system, but I don't know how to lower the amount of RAM Java uses. Please help me.

  That's what you were doing? - http://www.wikihow.com/Increase-Java-Memory-in-Windows-7

  If so, I guess that, just use this procedure to put at a lower level. If this isn't the case, that you really changed?

  I'm not sure of the min and max parameters or even one recommended by default.

  I need Java and is not on my PC, found by a google search.

• Satellite A500 - upgrade the processor and RAM void my warranty?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500, and I think to upgrade my processor CPU and RAM. If I open it invalidate or do I need a Toshiba authority to open it? Removes the card RAM will void the warranty?

  All I need to know is that can I put RAM and CPU processor without voiding the warranty

  Hey,.

  If you upgrade the CPU, you will cancel the warranty because this upgrade is not supported from Toshiba.
  In addition, I put t understand why you buy a laptop, and then you think of some hardware upgrades. In your case, I'd rather bought a laptop with faster processor and more RAM.

  See also this article from Toshiba:

  Finally and above all a RAM upgrade is not a problem. So check your user manual how to do this.

  Where can I get a driver that works on my laptop?

  Hi Val,

  The correct driver for your laptop running Wnidows 2000 should be version 3.0.8.0 and is available for download from the Web from Toshiba website.

  I presume that it is the one that you tried, so I don't know what you mean when you say that "it doesn't."

  How many slots RAM (DDR3L) are there in it?

  What is the taken maximum supported capacity (GB) of RAM?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi @Rhey13,
  
  Please become a member of the HP's Support Forums. I understand that you have questions about upgrading the memory. I'll be happy to help you.

  You didn't say if it was the 14-ac146tu or 15-ac146tu, so I watch them both. They are same for memory.

  See page 43 of the 14-ac146tu Maintenance and Service Guide shows it is 1 slot and can have 2 GB, 4 GB or 8 GB.

  See page 46 of the 15-ac-146tu Maintenance and Service Guide show it is 1 slot and can have 2 GB, 4 GB or 8 GB.

  The part numbers for the memory of the two are the same.

  Please keep me informed of the progress of things.

• Maximum speed and the amount of RAM for m7664x

  I have a m7664x that I will be upgrading to Windows 7 64 bit and I want to upgrade the RAM.

  According to the specifications of the product, there the mother of A8M2N-(NodusM3) with 4 DIMMS.  On this page, it says that it supports up to 4 GB of RAM to 667 MHz.

  Now, I came across a few posts here and elsewhere that suggest it can handle more (up to 8 GB) and more RAM speeds (PC6400 / 800 MHz) and recognized him and used.

  Can anyone confirm that it can support up to 8 GB of RAM and with higher speeds?

  Wow, what an old thread!

  To answer your question and update this thread, I bit the bullet and bought 8 GB of 800 MHz RAM and worked for almost a year now.  I seem to remember that I ran MemTest on it and it shows that he is indeed running at 800 MHz, but that's a long time I would have done, if I did.

  I also thought about upgrading the processor, but already at that time, I installed the RAM (close to a year ago), compatible processors were hard to find and expensive.  In addition, the machine was not used for anything else than to the General functions and has also been hampered by graphics shipped to start.  At the end of the day, spend the extra money on a pretty old computer RAM was the limit for me.

  blueeclipse86, you can try to upgrade the RAM on your machine, as I have done, but, of course, I can't guarantee that it'll work for you.

• Can I upgrade the CPU on my old Satellite M60

  Hello I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade the processor to my old m60
  and, if possible, which would be compatible CPU model?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I doubt that you will be able to upgrade the processor.
  Upgrading CPU is delicate.
  First of all, you should check what CPU's are supported by the chipset.
  Secondly, the BIOS is not tested and designed for other processors and so this can be a big problem.
  In the worst cases the CPU is not supported by the BIOS and the laptop will not turn on.

  Last but not least a faster processor would generate more heat which would lead to a higher temperature and plant s notebook

  As you can see the CPU upgrade it discouraged and in most cases is not possible

• To upgrade the capacity of RAM for my laptop - model no: Compaq Preasrio C555TU

  Dear Madam / Sir,

  Hi, Joel:

  I can't find any info on the specs of your laptop on the HP support for her page.

  Then, download and run the free Crucial memory, analytical tool. This tool will report what memory you need (DDR, DDR2, etc.) and the amount of memory your PC can run.

• Question about the maximum amount of RAM on Satellite U400-10J

  Hi all!

  2 weeks ago, I bought Satellite U400-10j.
  Now, I want to extend the RAM.

  This chipset is inside my laptop?

  Does he really support only 2 GB of RAM?

  Hello

  I wonder if you have checked the user manual installed which must be preinstalled on the laptop.

  In any case, as far as I know that the memory on U400-10J can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB).
  DDR2 667 MHz (PC2-5300) 200 - PIN SODIMM modules are compatible and it seems that the Chipset Mobile Intel GL960 Express was built in.

  Hope I could help you
