Graphics upgrade for a Satellite A100-163

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics in the Toshibe Satellite A100-163. In the specifications on this website, it states that it is connected by the new PCI Express x16 bus, does this mean that it is infact a seperate graphics card in my laptop that at a later date I would be able to upgrade?
Thank you for your help,
M_Taylor40

I was wondering if this is one of the new laptop motherboards with a PCI express card connected through a PCI Express port tho, as you can now get laptops that have a PCI express port for future graphics card upgrade. I know that a standard desktop card would not go in a laptop, but laptop graphics cards are beginning to appear but they are still quite expensive and hard to get.
Just under the speficiations of this laptop, the graphics bus is the PCI Express x16, and I just wanted to know if this was either the graphics where of the built-in adapter type which was connected through the PCI Express x16 bus, or that it was in fact a seperate graphics adapter that was connected to a PCI Express x16 port. As if it was the port version, then technically the existing graphics card could be removed and replaced with another card.

  • RAM upgrade for a Satellite A100-847

    I would like to upgrade the RAM for my A100-847 from my current 512 MB by adding another module for 512 MB but i face a compatibility problem because looking at the manual the only compatible modules are the following:
    256 MB: PA3389U-1M25
    512 MB: PA3412U-1M51
    1 GB: PA3411U-1M1G
    I tried looking for a module with these codes but I didn't find any in Romania. I could find a module from another manufacturer with the same specification but I don't know if these would function properly .
    So I need some advice .
    Thanks,
    Bobby

    Hi,
    which manufacturer you have seen? If they have the same specs, then they should fit. The best decision would be to take some kingston or crucial modules. They were tested to work well with toshibas, so just consider buying some kingstons with the specs of the original toshiba modules and have fun with them.
    In case of some further question just ask.
    Greetings

  • Can not install latest ATI mobility Radeon x1600 display driver for my Satellite A100

    Hello,
    my Satellite A100-704 PSAA9E is equipped with the ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 display graphic card, for which ATI provides a new driver, named Catalyst 8.3. My issue is that when I run the verification software I get a message telling me that driver is not suitable to be installed on my system.
    Is that any information available about it? Can I still install the new Catalyst driver or it's better if I don't? Oh, the current driver I have running on my notebook is the one downloaded from the Toshiba site, 8.292 I believe.
    Any information is appreciated. Thank you very much.

    > Can I still install the new Catalyst driver or it's better if I don't?
    I dont recommend the installation of any 3rd party graphic drivers. The fact is that such drivers are not tested and not certified and nobody knows how such driver would affect the notebooks hardware in worst case it could lead to the GPU overheating and damage
    best regards

  • Memory upgrade on a Satellite A100-912

    I own a Satellite a100-912 and I want to upgrade its memory!
    As it seems, this model supports only PC2-4200 DDR2 SODIMM modules (533 Mhz). Before bying a memory module that might regret, I want to know if there will be any compatibility issues if I use to this laptop PC2-6400 DDR2 SODIMM module (800 Mhz).
    Is it going to work even at lower clock speed (533 Mhz) or is it going to be a total waste of money?

    As far as I know the FSB is able to handle 667Mhz modules.
    You can use lower modules (533Mhz) without any problems but modules with higher Mhz will not run with full speed due to the limited FSB.
    So I dont recommend buying 800Mhz modules. Firstly they are not supported and secondly its waste of money!

  • Windows XP LAN driver needed for my Satellite A100-784

    I bought Satellite A100-784 with Windows Vista. I've removed Vista and installed Windows XP (taken from other non-Toshiba notebook)) and then SP2. Now I can't use the internet because there's no LAN driver. The drivers downloaded from this Toshiba site don't work.
    Any solution for me? I expect other problems to appear soon, with the sound and so on. Isn't there any pack of drivers for this model with WinXP?
    (I'd be very happy to get a quick restore disk with Windows XP in English but customer support won't provide any.)

    Hi
    Your A100 unit belongs to the PSAANE series.
    Toshiba European website provides two different XP Intel Lan driver versions:
    1. Intel LAN driver 8.0.43.0
    2. Intel LAN driver 9.2.24
    The first one 8.0.43.0 was designed for LAN Pro100 and the other 9.2.24 for LAN Pro1000
    Additionally I would recommend following the guidelines described in the installation instruction! The drivers must be installed in the right order.
    Please also take a look into another thread about the same theme:

  • HDD upgrade on my Satellite A100-259

    Hi,
    I want to upgrade my hard drive but I am unsure if its an IDE or SATA. Ive found software that gives me all laptop information and under the hard disk drive its got interface IDE SATA, so I am non the wiser the hard drive is a TOSHIBA MK6034GSX.
    I have a Satellite A100-259 PSAA2E.

  • Where can I find Vista 64-Bit drivers for the Satellite A100-049?

    I currently run Vista Home Premium SP1 32-Bit and do so because there appears to only be 32-Bit drivers on Tosiba's website:

    Where can I find Vista 64-Bit drivers for the Toshiba Satellite A100-049?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the reply.
    That's rubbish. Vista 64-bit runs fine with 2Gb and my laptop supports up to 4Gb.
    We'll never move on to 64-Bit if companies don't provide drivers.
    I'll look at those sites. I've had trouble installing nVidia drivers from nVidia website.
    I have to use the one provided by Toshiba.
    Hopefully I won't find this when trying 64-Bit. My plan is to go 64-Bit with Windows 7 so no rush just yet.
    As I understand it Vista drivers will work with Windows 7.
    Thankfully when I reinstalled Vista 32-Bit not long ago using an OEM from Technet I only need 2-3 drivers from Toshiba website, most of it they give to download you don't need at all.
    Thanks again.
    p.s - They do offer 64-Bit drivers for my network card though.

  • I can't finde the recovery disc from my Satellite A100-163

    My A100 will not load - can't find the recovery disc. Can I use my A60 recovery disc on my A100 - 163 laptop?

    Sorry, but you cant use the recovery disk from the A60. It will not work.
    You can order a new recovery disk from Toshiba:
    https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/
    Or you go to an ASP (authorized service provider) to get a new one:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an ASP
    You can also use an original Microsoft disk, but there you must install all drivers manual and this takes a lot of time.

  • What's the correct bios for my Satellite A100? Is PSAA9E = PSAA9 ?

    Hi,
    I wanna do a BIOS Update. But If I go to the Toshiba-driversite: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_bios.jsp and choose Notebook-->Satellite-->A series there are listed:
    A100 (PSAA2)
    A100 (PSAA8)
    A100 (PSAA9)
    A100 (PSAAN)
    A100 (PSAAR)
    At the undersite of my Laptop is printed: PSAA9E. Is this the same as PSAA9 ?

    Hi mate,
    dont worry and download the bios for PSAA9 since toshiba cuts the last digits from the model number because the last digit probably the region or country describes. I am not sure, but what I am sure is that PSAA9E definetively PSAA9 is.
    Cheers

    There is no listed my notebook. My notebook's model is A100-912.

    Hi again
    All I know is that Toshiba will support all vista capable notebooks but as you know it will not happen in one or two days. You must imagine that Toshiba bring sometimes more than 20 different notebooks models every quarter and Vista support is pretty big deal at the moment.
    I am pretty sure Toshiba will support newest and latest model at first and offer more end more stuff for other vista capable units.
    As I can see you have A100. Friend of mine has bought A100 last week and immediately made participation on Vista upgrade program and very soon he will get Vista upgrade and separate Toshiba CD with all necessary Toshiba stuff.
    In your case there is small difference because you have Vista from other sources and unfortunately must wait for download from Toshiba page. I know that everybody of us want to have this soon but the whole support action is not so simply like all of us think. I believe that drivers are not the problem but Toshiba tools and utilities must be prepared and tested properly.
    Sorry Murat but you must have patience and wait. Other way you can try to find some drivers on hardware manufacturers download pages. Later you can install all stuff additionally.

    Could you provide such details?
    I tried the INTEL web site update service, but they see the graphic driver as a customised item (TOSHIBA) and so their driver will not work and refer back to the manufacturer.

  • Memory Upgrade for a Satellite Pro 4320

    I own a Satellite Pro 4320. It has the factory installed memory (64 Mb), and I want to expand it. I read in the manual that it is possible to install up to 576 Mb. But in other web pages and documents, I read that 320 Mb is the maximum memory.
    Does anybody know what is the right number?
    Does anybody know where to find 256 Mb modules(if they can be installed)? I have found only 128 Mb modules.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    I have found information that 320 MB are max. for this unit. I have also no lucky to find 256 MB RAM module for this unit. There are two possibilities. Either you can contact service partner in your country and order one module or you must find some notebook hardware parts offerer in your country.
