Memory upgrade to 1GB RAM on Satellite A60

I have Satellite A60 and I want to update the memory from 256MB to 1GB
Please can I do it?

Hi
Maybe the link to this Toshiba Satellite A60 memory website could help you too:
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=8333&ft=m&st=3
As mentioned there is only one upgradeable memory slot and you could use the 200-Pin PC2700 (333Mhz) DDR SODIMM modules.
Usually its not matter what manufacture it is. Only the memory specifications are important.
Bye

Upgrade to 1gb ram from 512 mb

Hey folks, long time since i asked a question, I've been really glad with my MB for a while now had it since june of 2006, however it was until recently that I realized my problem was the low amount of ram,I believe OSX needs as much ram as one can afford, I read before a post which said upgrade to 1gb but don't buy it from apple, so I have 2 questions.
1) what brand should I buy can I buy it from amazon.com or something, if you have a 1gb and 2gb option great, to see what can accommodate to my finances right now. I'm using Adobe cs3 a lot these days due to my studies in graphic design, so the faster the better.
2) is it easy to install, I mean can I install it myself or do I have to an authorized reseller (no official apple stores in my country)
I thank you in advance for your replies!
cheers!

I bought some Crucial RAM from Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145048
and really like it. I have 2 GB and use CS3 and have no problems with it. Much better than when I had 1.25 GB.

Very easy to do. Took me about fifteen minutes.
DIY MacBook: How to install memory

What can I tune to make the database use less memory in a 1GB ram notebook?

Hi,
Our notebook has 1GB ram only, running Windows XP Pro, Oracle10g Database, Oracle9i Application Server. It consumes about 1.4 - 1.5GB ram where it's already start using the virtual memory, therefore have some performance issue with it especially when try to startup the services.
I'm not a DBA but I would like to get some advice on what and how can I tune the database to use less memory since the notebook is used for demo application only, so we save memory resource and make the notebook runs faster.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Application Server 10gR1, 10gR2 is certified against WinXP:

In your case you could use 10g on XP. The only XP not supported is Home Edition.
Coming back to the issue, since 9iR2 Oracle recommendation is to provide 1G for each AS node (infrastructure and middle tier). If you have this on the same box, by itself on the Enterprise install will consume more than 1G.
Tuning 10g database won't make much difference. If you install AS 10gR2 it includes a 10gR1 Database as infrastructure database you could use for demo purposes.

MBP Memory Upgrade Using More RAM than Before

Hey,
I have a 13-inch, late 2011 Macbook Pro with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor. I recently changed my 4GB memory (2 modules) PC3-10600 DDR3 1333 MHz to a Crucial 16GB PC3-10600 DDR3 1333 MHz.
Before the upgrade, the activity monitor would show memory used at around 3.98GB or so, and I was running only chrome with a few tabs open. Using chrome and a few more apps would slow down the computer significantly, though still usable.
After the upgrade, the activity monitor shows memory used at around 6.5GB with the same apps running (just chrome). My computer does run a faster and can handle a lot more apps.
My question is, why is my Macbook using more RAM after the upgrade?
Thanks,
Sebs

The short answer is that memory unused is memory wasted.
Mavericks is designed to decrease reliance upon mass storage, which is orders of magnitude slower than RAM. Mavericks will use all the memory available to it before resorting to using the swapfile. You are likely to find "swap used" to be zero, even with Google Chrome's notoriously profligate use of system resources.

Upgrading from 1GB ram to 1.5GB ram in iBook 14" G4

I have heard many stories about problems with putting the maximum of 1.5 GB ram in the 1.42Ghz 14" iBook.
My ibook is brand new, i got it early January.
I was wondering if the more experience Mac users (preferably ones who own 14inch G4s) would recommend doing this. Or if i should just stick to my 1 GB ram for safe measures.
thank you

You can check to see if you need more RAM. Restart your computer then open the Activity Monitor in your /Applications/Utilities folder. Click on the "System Memory" tab and check your page outs. After a restart, they should be set to zero. Check a couple of times a day during regular use of your computer. When your iBook starts to use your hard drive as "virtual memory", because you've run out of physical memory (RAM), you will see a page out. If you do not begin to accumulate page outs over time, then you don't need any more RAM. If you only accumulate ten or so, adding more RAM won't really make any noticeable difference. If, however, over time you're accumulating thousands of page outs, then you might consider adding more RAM. You may notice that only one application causes your iBook to page out. You could then make an informed decision about whether or not it's worth it for you to spend the money to add RAM to improve your experience with that one program.

Has anyone had problems with Domayne using generic third party RAM for memory upgrades? My RAM is now faulty and had to be removed, but Apple wont replace it under Apple Care because its not a genuine component?

The computer was purchased in the knowledge that all components and hardware were genuine and subsequently covered by the Apple Care warranty.
Domayne replaced the genuine components (8GB stick) with generic components (2x 16GB sticks) to save money and boost margin.
Apple should not allow this misleading, profiteering behaivour. This behaviour is brand damaging. Apple must maintain more control over their supply chain.
Has anyone had any expirenece with this problem?
Has anyone made Domayne or other third party resellers acountable for this misleading behaviour?
Thank you.

Stick with Brand name RAM and reputable distributors. Mac is finicky about low quality RAM
Try OWC http://www.macsales.com/
Crucial http://www.crucial.com/
Most RAM comes with Lifetime guarenntee so return it where you got it.

CPU upgrade on Satellite A60

Hello, i want to upgrade the cpu on my Satellite A60 celeron d345, what kind of processors are supported?
Thanks

Hi
I can not give you any informations about the CPU prices because it depends on the computer dealer.
Mostly the online dealers are much cheaper. So simply use a search-and-compare prices engine in the net.
Now something about the motherboard compatibility:
The Toshiba Satellite A60 is a full size notebook PC based on the Intel Portability P4 processor, providing high-speed processing capabilities and advanced features.
In my knowledge the motherboard should be ale to handle the Intel P4 (Northwood), P4 (Prescott) and Celeron (Northwood) CPUs.
- P4 (Northwood) 2.66/2.8/3.06/3.2 GHz
- P4 (Prescott) 518(2.8 GHz)/532(3.06 GHz)/538(3.2 GHz)/552(3.46 GHz)/558(3.60 GHz)
- Celeron (Northwood) 2.5/2.6/2.7/2.8 GHz
- Celeron (Prescott) 325(2.53 GHz) / 330 (2.66 GHz) / 335(2.8 GHz) 340 (2.93G) / 345 (3.066 GHz) / 350(3.2 GHz)
But note; everything what you do is at your own risk!!

Query regarding memory upgrade

I have k8mm-v (MS 7142 v1.x) Micro ATX mobo with chipset k8m800-ce and VT8237
memory module required by the system: 184 pin unbuffererd ddr266/333/400 DDR SDRAM and can support upto 2 gb (this is as per motherboard manual)
My questions:
1. whether I can upgrade system memory with ddr1 1gb ram
2. do ddr sdram and ddr1 one and same thing........
3. Now a days in india 512 mb ddr ram are costly and i want to know if there is any other way and i can upgrade my system partially or fully (if so what should i upgrade like mobo etc........) please do help me.
4. I came across HCL ddr1 ram which seems to be less costly ................i had feeling that they would not fit onto my ram sockets (on motherboard) ..........I want to know if my hunch is real or i am just bit too nervous ...............and whether can I put HCL ram on to my system............please advise..............
your help would be greatly appreciated...............thanks....... .......in advance...............

This needs to be moved to an appropriate section in the forum by one of the moderators.
You would be indeed lucky to still find dealers that sell DDR400. At the same time you may have noticed that the prices for this RAM is way out of line with the current market price of DDR2 and DDR3. DDR3 is now becoming the mainstream standard and it would probably be appropriate to consider a change to this standard. If however you are happy with your set up and need more memory, then please consult the memory support list here : http://www.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_173.pdf
If your mentioned HCL brand conforms to JEDEC standard, then there is no reason it should not work.
Suggest you do some reading on the JEDEC standard here: http://download.micron.com/pdf/misc/JEDEC79R2.pdf
It is always recommended that you use two identical mem modules in the two slots on your board, i.e. do not mix mem module size or mem modules with differing SPD values.
Your board does not support 2Gb modules. Your board supports 2Gb in total, i.e. 2 X 1Gb modules
I trust you will find more members giving you alternative solutions and recommendations.
I would like to be more specific, the "HCL ram" that I was talking about. Well, it happens to be name of company { "HCL Infosystems Ltd." (http://www.hcl.in/) } which produces assembled computer system and they also produce RAMs and did not meant in terms of HCL compatibility list that Microsoft talks regarding hardware compatibility (I am soo sorry, I did not correctly posted the query correctly)
I am unable to find whether they make RAM according to JEDEC standards.............
Please can any HCL guy ..................give me this clue to what standard they follow in making DDR 1 RAM
and thank you all for your kindness in providing heap of information..............thank you again and again ...........

Satellite A60: Integrated Radeon 7000 Graphics Memory Upgrade

Hi Everybody!
I was wondering if I could get up to 128MB RAM on my Integrated ATI Radeon 7000 IGP?
Maybe I could upgrade my RAM to 1GB to get 128MB video RAM on my Radeon 7000?
Thanks!
suddste

Hi
It would be very interesting to know the detailed name of your unit Satellite A60-xxx because some models were delivered with the shared memory graphic card and it should be possible to change the memory up to max 64 MB.

Memory upgrade on Satellite A60-218

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade the memory for the Satellite A60-218 models?
I've heard that the memory is onboard (internal) and cannot be replaced. Is this true?
If not, could somebody give me a hint where can I find the memory modules on this model?
I have tried disassembling it without success.
Thanks!
Levente

Hello
Just for info: Satellite A60 has 512 MB internal memory and one sot only is available for upgrade. This unit can handle with max 1,5 GB of RAM. On the bottom side in the middle there is placed memory module cover. Remove it and you will find RAM slot.
For RAM upgrade you can use follow compatible memory modules:
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
If you have more questions please write again.
Bye and good luck!

Memory Upgrade on Satellite Pro A60

I have upgraded an A60 Pro with a 1GB memory up but the Control Panel /System/ General tab still shows it as having 192MB RAM. This limits me downloading some Security Software from BT Yahoo.
Can anyone advise on how I can make the machine recognise the new RAM or is the 192 MB RAM noted different memory from the new memory upgrade?

If you use non-compatible RAM module it is logic that system can not recognize it correctly. I do not know who is the manufacturer of this 1 GB RAM module but if you want to use compatible one pick up some info about PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G) or check Kingston web page.

1 Gig Ram upgrade on a Satellite A60-302

Hi there, 1st time user here
I bought a Sodimm DDR 333mhz 1gig ram card for my Satellite A60-302 and installed it today - but with no luck
The notebook turns on but the screen stays black and then the notebook turns itself off, it's also emitted a continuous beeping sound. I thought it was because the RAM was too much but it can handle 1280MB of RAM and has 256in built so it should be able to handle it
The RAM hasn't been touched by static-hands so can anyone help?
Many thanks
Matt

Youre right. The unit should be able to handle the 1024Mb memory module in a single slot.
I have only one explanation why the notebook will not run after the upgrade.
Either the module is not right and not compatible or its simply corrupt.
I recommend using the modules recommended by Toshiba.
These are:
PC2700 256MB (PA3311U-1M25)
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)
The PA3313U-1M1G is a SO DIMM 200-pin DDR 333 MHz PC2700 memory module.

Satellite A60-199 - memory upgrade questions

I have an Satellite A60-199 and want to increase RAM from 512mb.
Is this possible and if so how much memory can I put in
Mike Hills

The brochure says you can install a 1GB module in the Memory Slot. There is only one slot you can install memory into.
So if there is 256MB onboard, you can increase the total memory to 1.25GB

Satellite A60 memory upgrade doesn't work - help

Hi, I have a Satellite A60-793 and I would like to upgrade the memory adding a 512 MB to currently installed memory.
I tried to install a 512MB PC2700 DDR 333MHz SODIMM module, but system won't boot up: it emits a long whistle, then shuts down automatically. If I remove the module, system boots properly.
I've allready updated my BIOS, i there anything more I can do to make it work?

Well I apreciate your attention.
But I still have a doud here, do you think it may be solved if I change the actual 8chip module for one 16chip module low density with the same caracteristics? I was told these were more compatible modules.
Any advise for this?
Thanks!
David

Satellite L10: Needs memory to be upgraded to 1GB

I have bought a Toshiba laptop Satellite L10 series one month back and needs the memory to be upgraded to 1 gb.
Even afre one month suppplier have not done this.
Who should I contact to get my machine upgraded?
Laptop was bought from Lulu Hypermarket in Muscat
Whom shuld i contact to get this.
Regee K Chacko

Hi
Ivan is right. Try to find a good price for these modules. Furthermore the memory upgrade is not difficult. At the bottom of the unit you will find a cover which is fixed with two screws. This cover is placed in the middle. Simply remove this two screws and you will be able to see the memory slots.
Bye
