Memory upgrade for Satellite A10-S811 PSA10E

I want to upgrade the memory on my old laptop i've found the manual and read a bit in it.
Apparently it uses PC2100 DDR (266 Mhz) has two memory slots and only allows up to 512 mb modules.
Is it at all possible to use larger and/or faster modules.
I'm hoping the low speed and size has something to do with the time it was produced before larger modules were as common as they are today.
Also how many pins are there on modules, i guess DDR modules for laptops are different from those for desktop computers.
My laptop:
Toshiba Satellite A10
SA10-S811
Model no: PSA10E-0ZJ57-DK
Any help is very much appreciated.

Hi!
Yes, maybe Intel said that the chip set supports 2GB but its only known to me that the Satellite supports 1GB max.
You can try it with 2GB but I think it will not work. The BIOS and other factors must support more RAM.
As far as I know you buy double sided RAM because the notebook has only two slots. This fact is only interesting with more than two slots.

Memory upgrade for Satellite L30-134

I have a Satellite L30-134 which appears to be running quite slowly - I think due to large amount of photos and itunes music.
I am wondering which is the easiest way to resolve - buy a memory upgrade (no idea how to change the memory though) or get an external hard drive?
And if I change the memory will I lose what is already saved on the laptop?

I agree with Ganz the bigger HDD will not improve the performance but only increase the available HDD space it would helps you to store more music and pic files on the HDD ;)
The memory upgrade would also not bring an performance boost of course the performance would be a little bit better because the most stuff would be handled directly in the memory and not temporally on the HDD but generally its not really noticeable.
Anyway if you want to upgrade the memory check this:

Memory upgrade for Satellite P15: How to install it?

Hello everyone, first time poster needing some help please....
My Satellite P15 has 512mb (2x256bm) ram installed and I'm looking to put 1gb ram into each of the two slots to bring it up to the maximum supported 2gb. At first I wasn't sure which sort of memory but I ran a search on crucial.com's system scanner and discovered I need DDR PC2700 SODIMM modules of the 200 pin variety I believe. I opened up the flap next to the heat sink / fan and found the existing memory sticks but i'm amazed how difficult they are to get out. I can't seem to get them to budge and obviously I'm wary of applying to much force - does anyone know of an easy way to remove the memory sticks via the bottom of the laptop or will I have to go through the whole taking apart the keyboard etc which there are no guides on the net that i can find?
Also, as 2 x 1gb sticks is quite an expense I want to make sure I get it right. I was looking at this item on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-2GB-2-X-1GB-PC2700-333-SODIMM-LAPTOP-RAM-2700-1G_W0QQitemZ230079253310QQihZ013QQcategoryZ172QQss PageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and it seems like the sort of thing i'm after although I'm not too sure about the chipset config sizes quoted as I'm not particularly sure what this P15 laptop requires. Is that ebay item the sort of thing which will work in the P15?
Sorry this has got quite long winded but I really want to get it right and I don't have much expertise in the area.
Thanks for any help and advice.

Hi,
I think the memory from ebay will work in your machine.
Removing the memory module normally is very easy.
After removing the plate on the bottom you just have to push apart the brackets, which hold the module at its side. Then the memory will jump up and you can pull it out.

Hi
You have several ways to find out what memory module is compatible and supported.
You can use a diagnostic too like Everest, you will check the user manual or the Toshiba website for details or you will contact the service in your country for supported modules.
I will try to answer the question: The Satellite A50 should support PC2700 DDR-RAM like these parts:
PC2700 256MB (PA3311U-1M25)
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
Now its your choice. You can also google for the offers
By the way: Visit the Toshiba Options & accessories site. There you will find compatible parts

Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro A40

Can anyone please advise where is the best place I can get a memory upgrade for my Satellite Pro A40 laptop.
I think my machine is a PC2700 DDR. I am looking for either 512mb or 1gb.
Thanks in advance.
Christine

Hi
On the Satellite Pro A40 you will find 2 memory slots and you can upgrade the memory to max 2GB (2x1024MB)
It should be possible to use these modules:
PC2100 512MB (PA3164U-1M51)
PC2100 1GB (PA3278U-1M1G)
And
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G
I purchase the compatible parts and devices always form the Toshiba service partner in my country because so I'm 100% sure that this parts are compatible.
So I would recommend you also to buy the modules form the ASP in your country.

Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro L40-15d

Hi
I have Satellite Pro L40-15d with 512 memory (Samsung) but I wont upgrade to 1GB. I have Kingston ktt667d2/1g I have tray to put in to both slots but nothing work I cant switch on computer.
But when I change for old one laptop is ok. What can I do? Install special program or update BIOS or maybe the memory stick is broken.
Regards

Hi
The notebook doesnt boot after the memory upgrade due to these different issues;
- memory modules are not compatible together
- memory modules are not compatible with the notebook
- memory modules are faulty
- one of memory slots is faulty
In most case the memory module replacement helps.
One hint; did you try to switch the memory modules in the slots? Sometimes this helps.
Several weeks ago I have updated my memory and the notebook didnt boot.
I thought its a memory malfunction but after module switching the notebook booted correctly.
Good luck

Memory expansion for Satellite 1110-Z15 laptop

Hi,
I would like to upgrade the memory in my Satellite 1110-Z15 laptop and have been trying to find a list of approved memory manufacturers from toshiba, with no luck.
Does anyone know of any approved manufacturers for toshiba laptops as i cannot find the type of memory required on the toshiba electronic components site?
Thanks,
Sherbert

Hello Sherbert
I have found information that your notebook can handle with 512 Mb max. I suppose that your unit has 256 MB already. You can use second 256 MB module and put it in a second slot.
Part number for 256 MB memory module is PA3127U-1M25.

Memory upgrade for KM3M-V mobo (aka MS 7061-01S)

Hi, this is my first post. I've read the guidelines and searched for an existing topic but can't find one that quite matches what I want to ask, so I'm posting a new topic - please forgive me I have erred!
I have a TIME Computers desktop (please don't ask why), mobo being a MSI KM3M-V (also known as MS7061-01S), which is based on VIA KM266 chipset. CPU = Sempron 2400+.
I've just installed a new graphics card, an ATI All-in-Wonder 9200SE, with associated drivers and software including Catalyst (which menat I had to instal MS .net framework too). This seems to be working OK but overall speed not great. (Also, for some reason I don't seem to be getting any sound at all, but I expect I can fix that with a bit of trail and error.)
My next step is to increase the memory. Existing memory installed is one 256MB UDIMM module, but I'm aiming to remove it and instal 2 x 1GB UDIMM modules, which I know the mobo can take. Naturally I'm looking to get the maximum available performance (subject to stability considerations), so I'm looking to go for the highest bandwidth/speed the system can take. This is where it gets tricky. Having searched Crucial, Kingston and other memory configurators plus various other tech articles and indeed MSI's own website, I've reached the conclusion that I can select memory in PC2100/ 2700/ etc up to 4000 or even higher provided that the maximum memory chip size (density) does not exceed 128MB.
But I'm not sure about the speed limitation: is there any point in buying DIMMs capable of DDR333 or 400 - will my chipset limit the speed to 266MHz anyway? I'll be grateful for any expert views.

Thanks for the quick reply, Exo. I agree with you 100% that it's best to go for (at least) PC3200 with a view to a likely future upgrade. As I see it, it makes sense to go for the highest spec available at reasonable cost - so I would probably aim for PC4000 rather than 3200. There doesn't seem to be any downside in doing so (provided one is happy to tweak the BIOS where necessary), and even the MSI MOBO spec seems to endorse this view - see bit picked out in red below:
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=KM3M-V&class=mb
Main Memory
• Supports four memory banks by using two 184-pin DDR DIMMs
• Supports a maximum memory size of 2GB.
• Supports 2.5v DDR SDRAM DIMM
