Question about memory upgrade in a Equium A100-027

Hi there,
I have an Equium A100-027 notebook with 2 x 512 MB RAM installed. I'd like to add extra memory.
I have used Crucial's (www.crucial.com) website to scan my system and recommend memory modules. According to Crucial the A100-027 will support 2 x 2 GB modules giving 4 GB in total.
However a quick search using Google suggest I can only install 2 x 1 GB (2 GB in total) modules.
Can anyone clarify please.
Thanks in advance,
Stephen

No, guys. The machine can be upgraded up to 4GB since the chipset is able to handle 4 Gigs of RAM.
That means you will have to place 2 x 2GB in the slots of the machine and you will have your upgaded system. :)
One of my machines is a A100 (European - but it doesnt matter which country, chipset is worldwide the same) and Ive upgraded it to 4 Gig with kingston RAM.
Hope I could help...
Cheers

Question about Memory Upgrade for iMac G3/350 - Slot Loading

I was thinking of upgrading my memory and found this on eBay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350070149602
The auction says that it won't work in an apple computer but it looks like it should. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James S.

I agree with Richard; if the seller says it won't work in a Mac, why bother? It's likely to be hi-density, which either won;t work or will show up in a Mac as only half its true size.
I've been hanging around these forums for nearly seven years and have seen a lot of tears shed over alleged Mac RAM bought on eBay. Your mileage may vary, but I get RAM for our 13 Macs for online venders who are Mac-savvy. They all work.

Question about memory upgrade on Satellite A210-127

I upgraded my memory form 2Gb (2x1 Gb) to 4Gb (2x2 Gb) with two Kingston memory modules KVR667D2S5/2G (PC2-5300 CL5).
For two weeks there were no problems but then I got blue screen every time when system boots reffering to I guss memory error.
I tried to replace memory with original Toshiba's modules but blue screen remains. I have conctacted the service and they say that
it may be memory incompatibility, virus or hard disk malfunction.
After few days of working on the solution I reinstal my laptop with Toshiba DVD and replace original memory. Now everything works fine.
I wonder is Kingston memory cause of my problem or somethig else?
Does anyone know is Kingston memory KVR667D2S5/2G 2Gb compatibile with Toshiba?

I've got an answer forom Kingston Customer Service Specialist:
Dear Mr. Sekovanic,
Thank you for your e-mail and for your interest in Kingston Technology.
Please note that the memory module with the part number KVR667D2S5-2G is a ValueRAM generic part, built to industry guidelines meeting the JEDEC standard. As they are not tested on any motherboard, we cannot guarantee compatibility of these modules with a specific system.
The branded memory module KTT667D2/2G is designed, manufactured and tested in a specific systems or system series, such as the Toshiba Satellite A210-127. Although the technical specifications are quite similar we do not recommend to use the ValueRAM module on a specific system as yours.
We trust that the above information will be of assistance to you. However, should you have further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.
so it's not compatibille.

Question about memory upgrade on Satellite L20-181

Hi, there
The minimum recommended memory for Windwows XP is 256 Mb and I do not understand how the company could get away selling notebook with 256 MB with built-in graphic adapter sharing the system memory.
Anyway, I want to upgrade my Toshiba and my intention is to buy additional 512 Mb memory, such as http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=20049&ft=m&st=3
Will it work properly with 768 Mb or shall I buy only the same pairs : 256+ 256, 512+ 512?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
You can easily change your RAM modules without invalidating your warranty. You should find the procedure well documented in your user manual (or you can download a copy of the user manual from the Toshiba web site).
The RAM modules are usually located underneath a small flap at the bottom of the notebook, and are held in place with a small clip on each side. Just release the clips and the RAM module should spring up allowing you to carefully remove it. Note that it will only fit in one way (there is a small cut-out on the bottom which aligns with a peg).
Be very careful to discharge any static electricity by earthing yourself before you touch the RAM modules, they can be easily damaged by a static discharge.
regards,

Question about memory upgrade on Satellite 2140 (PS241C-2PW9XP)

I wanna upgrade my memory up to 1gb and i have a pc3200 533 stick.
I am wondering if it would be ok or do i specifically need pc2700?
Thanx :)

Hi
Do you mean the Satellite 2410 or the 2140?!
I ask it because the Satellite 2140 supports the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM memory modules!!!
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=5523&ft=m&st=3
and
Satellite 2410 supports 200-Pin PC2100/PC2700 DDR SODIMM memory modules
http://www.orcalogic.co.uk/asp/prodtype.asp?prodtype=6080&ft=m&st=3
I would use the memory modules recommended by Toshiba because in such case you can be 100% sure that the notebook will run stable and properly!!!

Equium A100-027: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic card?

I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I'm extremely pleased with it, however the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I am a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle most modern games.
I am looking into how to upgrade it, how much it will cost etc. However I don't wanna buy a graphics card just to realise that the inside is locked down. Since it's only a week old I also don't want to take a hammer to it just yet ;-)
Can anyone tell me how hard it is to upgrade the graphics card? Is it locked down, or easily accessible?

Hi Emonn
Unfortunately, the graphic card upgrade is not possible. I dont know if you are familiar with the notebook technology but you should know that the graphic cards installed on the notebook motherboards are not same like the GPUs for desktop PCs.
The card a fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!!!
You can upgrade the memory modules or the HDD on the notebooks but not the graphic card!!!
Im also an gamer and Im a notebook owner but I dont use this unit for gaming but for usual usage like internet, programming, mps, etc
I have a second gaming machine and its a desktop PC. Its support a water cooling module and a really great graphic card but I will change it to the newest one NVIDIA which supports the directX10.
This is a future and all newest games will need this DrectX10!!!

Low Battery/Critical Battery Alarm on Equium A100-027

I have bought an Equium A100-027 running on Vista Home Premium this Feb. Since then I have installed quite some software, eg Nokia phone software, bluetooth drivers, A-Virus & all MS updates.
When the battery gets low or critical I don't get any audio warning, despite having this option ticked in the Advanced Settings of the Power Options and using the Win default sound scheme.
The soundcard & speakers definitely work as I get the Win sound notifications and can play CDs, etc.
Is there a driver/software that can be re-installed to get this working again as System restore would only let me go back a month.
Thanks for any help,
Markus

Hi,
I saw your post before and I understand you need some help.
I can just give you the following suggestion:
- Update to the latest bios version ! (Check this site out:http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_bios.jsp?service=EU&mode=allMachines)
- Recover your machine and update ALL drivers/tools/etc., but before installing some "foreign" software, check if the "beeping" works correctly (For that stuff go here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp)
- Install your other software (Nokia manager, etc...) and check after every newly installed software if it still works. If after installing a specific software the "beep" doesnt work anymore then you know where the problem lays and you did some good software troubleshooting. ;)
In case of any questions: Just post :)

I need a Wi-FI driver for Equium A100-027

I own a Toshiba Equium A100-027 with the Atheros AR5006EG Wi-Fi Adapter.The Laptop is running on Windows XP and I need some software to use the wireless adapter. Could someone help me somehow?
The Driver had a Genuiune Windows Vista but it was working slow and I've changed the OS to XP.

All you need is the right driver for WLAN card. Some special software is not necessary because you can configure WLAN using Windows WLAN settings.

Equium A100-027: Toshiba Power Saver Utility

I have a Toshiba Equium A100-027 laptop and the fan goes on every couple of minutes after it has been on for 15 minutes and it is highly annoying.
I was told I could change the Cooling Method so that fan goes on less or constant but I can't seem to run the Power Saver Utility.
I uninstalled the Value Pack that came with the laptop and long with some other Toshiba programs but I installed it again from the website but I cannot find the Power Saver Utility. It is not in Control Panel. I see a folder with the files in on Program files but whenever I try and open it, it wont load anything.
Why is this?
Can I run the Power Saver Utility on the A100-027 or is it not compatible or something?
I would have thought it should work on all Toshiba Laptops.
I can do a recovery and try it but I don't know if it will work or not?
If it works, whats the best option so the fan is either on much less or is on constantly at a lower speed?
I am sending the laptop to Toshiba to look at because I hear an audio glitch/crackling/fuzzing when I play music and the fan goes on and off and I think this must be some kind of small glitch to be fixed but I don't know if they can fix it. If they don't fix it, can they replace it?

There are no BIOS updates for my Laptop Model.
I have done a system recovery using the recovery disk and the audio glitch/crackling/fuzz persists and the fan runs at the same rate.
The laptop will be with Toshiba Engineers on Monday but I don't know if they will hear or notice the problem or if they do if they will fix it.
I hope they can either fix it or replace the laptop for me.

Another question about memory on a neo2 i may change my mind again

would

work on the neo2?
and if so is it going to be faster than
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=6559&GroupID=56
thanks

Andy,
i'm not that much of a memory expert either but:-
1) You might find more choice PC Memory Upgrade UK i've used them & their ok. Their about the only UK supplier that carries a lot of the makes u see around.
2) See Sticky - RAM that works well with MSI K8N motherboards
3) If i'm looking like u i try to do a web search & pick up some reviews that either use the same CPU & chipset, if not the mobo.
You might find this a good starting point Rebels Haven - High Performance Memory And The MSI Neo2 Platinum
4) Keep same thread & you'll most likely get some advise from more knowledgable people.
luck

I have a question about memory?

Hi again gang,
While researching memory for my new motherboard (k7N2 Delta-L), I was wondering, is it better to purchase good quality PC3200 like Mushkin or Corsair XMS, or higher speed VALUE memory like pc3500 or 4000?
Also, am I correct to think I can install any speed of memory, realizing I will only get the FSB speed of my equip.? I might be able to use this higher speed memory down the road on a new build.
I am really a newb at this stuff, but I enjoy it and am learning everyday.
My new build will look something like this:
Case: Aspire X-Dreamer II (with 350W PSU) - $54
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Barton - $118
Cooling: Vantec AeroFlow VA4-C7040 - $23
Motherboard: MSI K7N2 Delta-L - $73
Memory: 512-MB (2x256-MB) Corsair PC3200 DDR - $87
Hard Drive: 120GB Western Digital SE - $90
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon 9600 Pro 128-MB - $143
Monitor: Samsung 955DF - $179
Sound Card: 6-Channel Integrated - $0
Speakers: Logitech Z640 6-Piece Speaker System - $60
CD/DVD-ROM: AOpen 48x24x48x16 Combo Drive - $47
Communications: Onboard LAN - $0
Mouse: Microsoft Intellimouse Optical - $15
Keyboard: Microsoft Multimedia Keyboard - $15
Operating System: Windows XP Home - $85
Floppy: Panasonic, TEAC, etc. - $8
I know I need a better PS like Antec true blue 480 watt.
Plus I will buy the AMD 2500 Barton and not sure about memory quality.
Yes, I want to OC this puppy.
So this is so long.
Thanks for all your thoughts.

I already own the Delta-L motherboard. It was given to me brand new by a marketing rep. that I know. Do you think I shouldn't build a system using this board under the circumstances?
If you guy's say no don't do it, then I will reconsider my situation.
Thanks again.
there is nothing wrong with the L version.
but with the ilrs you can add sata drivers
instead of max 4 you can have 7 drives.
if you look in my sig i own the L version and it works good.
the L version uses realtek sound and its good.
i can hear no difference between Realtek and my addon soundblaster audigy.

Windows Media Player does not work on Equium A100-027

I have an Equium Notebook A100-027 which I bought in February of this year. I have just tried to play my Windows Media Player, but nothing happens when I click on it! It was working fine yesterday, but today it is not working anymore!
Can anyone help me please?

Hi,
it would be useful to know which system you have (vista or xp) and if you recently installed some software or windows updates.
This will perhaps help you and us users to give you better help on your problem.
Would appreciate some feedback from you. :)
