Question about Ram upgrade on a Satellite Pro A200

I want to purchase some internal memory for my A200 Satellite Pro Mod No,PSAE1E but I cannot find my model in the drop down lists, which memory do I need, I want to upgrade using two 1GB memory sticks, at present I have two 512MB sticks installed.

Hi
The compatible modules are: *DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) 200-PIN SODIMM*
As far as I know all notebooks from the A200 series can be upgraded up to *2GB* .
This means that one memory slot would support max 1GB RAM module.
As the previous user already said, the Kingston modules are not bad.
I use it in my notebook too and till now the modules are ok.
Cheers

    Hi,
    I wonder if i can replace my 512 MB PC 4200Mhz SO-DIMM DDRII with a 2 GB PC 5300Mhz SO-DIMM DRRII i to my A110 Satellite?
    thanks in advande.

    The notebook can be upgraded up to 2GB. You could use max 1GB RAM module in one memory slot!
    The notebook seems to support the 533MHZ FSB and therefore I should be possible to use the 533Mhz memory modules too

  • Question about Ram upgrade on a Satellite A200

    hi friends,
    i`ve a Satellite A200-13O with 120GB HDD, 1.8GHz Intel Centrino Duo, 1GB ram but it has 2 512 chips installed.
    if i upgrad 2 1 GB ram is there any chance of improvement in performance....??
    and what if i upgrade to 2GB dual channel....??
    it has Windows Vista Ultimate...!!
    Thanks,
    Nagal

    You mean you would use only one 1GB ram module?
    Well, you would still have 1GB RAM but the dual channel cannot be used due to missing of second module.
    So if you can, try to use exactly the same 2 modules to get the best memory performance.
    The notebook supports two memory slots therefore you cannot do anything wrong insert 2 modules into the 2 slots to run the modules in dual channel

  • Questions about ram upgrade of Satellite L100 (PSLA3L)

    I have the above laptop and a new stick of Ram, don't have a manual however are there instructions for upgrading this?
    I've opened the back and type of clip that holds the RAM is unfamiliar to me. I can see how it goes in but it doens't clip in easily which leads me to belive i'm missing somthing, either that or it requires an ungodly amount of force.
    Grateful for any assistance

    Why you dont take a look into the user manual???
    There is an detailed instruction placed ;)
    Simply remove the cover, lift one side of the insulator sheet and fit the modules connectors into the computers connectors at about 45 degree angles. Press the module careful to ensure a firm connection.
    Push the module down so it lies flat. Latches on either side will click into place to secure the module
    Thats all

  • Question about HDD-upgrade on a Satellite A10

    Hello, just wanted to update my laptop, and just interesting. Is this laptop supporting 160 gb ?
    Maybe even, what the biggest HDD support this computer ?
    Because i am thinking on 120gb or better 160gb... And dunno what to do :)
    Satellite A10...
    Thanks for any advices

    Hey there,
    I think you should try it, because I think that machine was shipped with a maximum of 80GB, but I am not sure. You have the following options:
    1. Buy a HDD with about 120GB. Test it, you cannot damage anything. If the drive would not be recognized then bring it back to the shop and try a HDD with less memory (100GB). Repeat the procedure, if the drive was recognized, hold it. :)
    2. Buy a 80GB HDD, which is known to work in that machine. Thats the "secure" way.
    3. Do nothing and buy a external USB-HDD. ;)
    I hope I could give you some thoughts on your way.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - question about BIOS update

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) with Windows Vista and XP that were installed recently.
    In Toshiba's driver page (BIOS update) says:
    "This Bios is only compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!!"
    1) Should I update my BIOS(1.4) or is it going to be a problem for my XP windows?
    2) Has anyone try it?
    3) Is there documentation about the BIOS updates (bug fixes, etc)?

    Hi madmak
    I think the description should be clear if the BIOS description says that the BIOS is only compatible for notebooks with Windows Vista then you cannot use it with Windows XP.
    I think nobody should check if an Vista BIOS would be run on the XP notebook because mostly a wrong BIOS can damage the motherboards ROM on in your case some notebook features will not run correctly.
    I didnt find also any reports about any fixed BIOS bugs it seems something like that was not published on Toshiba European site.
    best regads and happy new year ;)

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Shows only 3GB instead 4GB RAM

    Hi,
    2 years ago I got a Satellite Pro A200 as a business notebook and it runs with XP SP2, later with SP3. With 2 GB it shows 2 GB of memory in Windows - and I know it has a Radeon 7500 with 256MB of individual graphic memory, and it has no shared memory.
    I upgraded it to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and the ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible in XP 32 bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems I have seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.
    So where is the memory? It looks like a bug - the memory chips have both 2 GB I have verified this. Because it is a company notebook I can't just upgrade to XP 64 bit :-(
    In the BIOS are no options - first I thought it's the graphic card, but mine has independant graphics with own memory so the computer comes up with 2048 MB or 4096 after the upgrade.
    Shared memory would show about 1900 MB of RAM to the OS like my private EEEpc.

    > I upgraded it to 4 GB, but Windows shows exactly 3 GB. BIOS shows 4 GB and the ATI system monitor shows 4 GB. I know that 4 GB is not possible in XP 32 bit, only on Windows 2003 R2 32 bit or Vista - but on desktop systems I have seen values between 3.3 and 3.7 GB.
    First of all 32bit OS (no matter if its XP, Win 2003 R2, Vista or Win 7) will not recognize 4GB RAM but only 3.2GB (and not 3.7GB)
    I have no idea where you looked for available RAM but you should run DXDIAG in RUN.
    Then you should get some details and also the available RAM.
    Secondly the graphic card supports Local cache (256MB) and HyperMemory.
    HyperMemory of the graphic card depends on the available main RAM memory.
    For example the unit supports 1024MB RAM (1GB) then the hyper memory would be 256MB this part of RAM would be shared with graphic card!
    This is the reason why the only 3GB are shown...

  • Memory upgrade on Satellite Pro A200

    Have two Satellite Pro A200 #PSAE1E-00T002EN laptops and wanted to know if I can upgrade the 2 x 1GB memory to 2 x 2GB?

    As I understand you request, you want to upgrade the notebooks memory to 4GB.
    Well, I think its not possible.
    The Satellite Pro A200 supports max 2GB RAM (2 x 1GB) so you will be not able to use 2 x 2GB modules.

  • Issues with sleep/wake feature after 16GB RAM upgrade in my MacBook Pro. Any thoughts?

    Just installed a 16GB RAM upgrade in my MacBook Pro and now it doesn't wake up on it's own when I open the lid. I have to press the power button. It works fine with a smaller RAM upgrade.
    I've tried putting in just one of the 8GB modules and the sleep/wake feature works as normal so there isn't a problem with the RAM modules that I've bought (Crucial.com). I've also put in a combination of Apple's original RAM and the new ones to make 10GB (8GB + 2GB), and the sleep/wake feature works on that too. Put both 8GB modules back in and the MacBook doesn't wake up when I open the lid, I have to press the power button to wake it up. The MacBook itself works fine, super fast and the memory is recognised on 'About This Mac', the sleep/wake issue is the only problem I'm having with the 16GB RAM.
    Any thoughts on this? Has anybody else had this sleep/wake issue like this when upgrading RAM?

    I upgraded my early 2011 MBP to 16 gigs with Crucial. My machine would not sleep properly, because when I tried to wake it, it would wake from its hibernate image file. This is the issue I've seen here in this list.
    I tried all the suggestions I saw on these groups. Nothing helped. I contacted Crucial, who suggested that if their RAM was defective, they'd replace it per their warranty process. I needed some proof it was their RAM causing the problem.
    I put the original 8 gigs RAM back in the machine (2 4 gig sticks), and it behaved normally. I then put one stick of Crucial RAM in, all by itself. The machine behaved normally. I put the other stick of Crucial RAM back in, and took the first one out. The machine would not properly sleep and wake from sleep. This proved that one stick was causing the problem, and the other was not.
    Defective RAM!
    I then requested and received an RMA from Crucial to send the defective RAM back. They paid shipping. I got new sticks of RAM about a week later. These new sticks of RAM work properly. No sleep issues.
    I'm surprised and disappointed to say that this is not the first time I've received defective RAM from Crucial. I've purchased from them for years, and had GREAT service and received high quality products. The past couple years my experience has been different.
    I'm still pretty steamed about this, as I spent a great deal of time trying to diagnose the problem and fix it. I don't really have that kind of time to waste. My expectation was that their RAM was high quality, and unlikely to be at fault.
    Perhaps this is just a bad batch of RAM. I get that. I can forgive them once. But this has happened twice in the past three years. I'll look elsewhere for my next memory purchase.
    Keep in mind that their customer ratings are generally very high. My experience is probably  isolated.

  • Satellite Pro A200-16N: Can I use Recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

    Hii!
    Im thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N, and i've ran the windows vista upgrade checker from the microsoft website and it says my system will support windows vista so im ok on that.
    The problem is, if my laptop were to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD's that was supplied from toshiba still work on the laptop with windows vista?
    Will they return the laptop to windows xp or since my laptop has a different operating system will they not work?
    Also...
    Whats the deal with BIOS?:S
    I dont understand!
    If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
    As i have to download the new drivers before upgrading yes?
    Thanks!

    Of course the Recovery CD will work.
    The Recovery CD will set always the notebook back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HDD will be formatted and the Toshiba image will be installed.
    > Whats the deal with BIOS? I dont understand!
    > If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
    In my knowledge this notebook was already delivered with Vista therefore you dont need to update the BIOS if you want to install Vista again.
    Some A200 Satellite series needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
    In such case its advisable to update the BIOS to XP version firstly and then to install X OS.

  • Question about RAM CL

    Hi guys. I'm finalizing my PC build and have a question about ram CL that I cannot find answers to on the tweakers page here. http://ppbm7.com/index.php/news/planning?showall=&start=3
    I'd like to use these two ram sticks as an example.
    Transcend JetRam™ High-Performance 8GB DDR3-1333 240-Pin Module : CL9, 6-Layer PC Board
    Transcend JetRam™ High-Performance 8GB DDR3-1600 240-Pin Module : CL11, 6-Layer PC Board, Ultimate cross-platform compatibility and stability
    My question is, which is better for video editing? On the one hand we have 1333mhz at with a CL of 9. On the other, we have faster 1600mhz ram, but at a higher CL of 11. Now, I'm not one to get caught up in the technicalities like it may seem, but I do want to understand these so I can make informed decisions, especially when price is a factor. In this case however, they are the same price...

    From http://ppbm7.com/index.php/news/cpu-mobo
    Make up your mind about the number of memory sticks you want to install. On the X79 platform, do you want to use 4 slots, or do you want to fully populate all 8 slots? This is very important especially with i7-3930K / 4930K CPU's, which have a rather finicky memory controller.
    Make a shortlist of quad or octo packs of memory sticks in the size you want, limiting yourself to ONLY sticks using 1.5V or less.
    Check the motherboard manufacturer's site QVL list to see which of the sticks on your shortlist are approved. Pay attention to the number of slots for which they are approved. Some modules are approved for 4 slots only, others for fully populated use.
    Check the memory manufacturer's site QVL list to see which motherboards are approved.
    Try to establish if there are users that have been successful in using the sticks on your shortlist and delete any that were giving trouble to others. NewEgg can be a good source for that.
    Now that you have a very short shortlist, contact the Technical Support departments of both the motherboard manufacturer and the memory manufacturer and ask them to confirm or deny the compatibility of the memory modules in the quantity you need.
    If both confirm compatibility, check the physical height of the modules including heatsink in relation to the intended CPU cooler. Do they fit without modding?
    In general, only buy matched sets of memory sticks. There are too many different sticks with the same type number, that will cause grief when bought as four single sticks, but you limit the risk by only buying quad sets or octo sets for fully populated X79 platforms.
    CAS latency is no longer important, in fact, with the finicky nature of the memory controller of the Sandy Bridge-E, it can be advantageous to choose a higher CAS latency for improved compatibility. What can be important - relatively speaking, only in single digit % performance differences - is the rated speed of the memory, 1333 or 1600 or 2133 or even 2400.
    Even though the X79 platform only supports - at least officially - up to DDR3-1600, one can use XMP profiles in the BIOS to have the memory run at its rated speed of say 2133. For my new 'Monster' I followed these steps and ended up with a fully populated 8 x 8GB octo set of G.Skill RipjawsZ F3 DDR3-2133 sticks that are running without any problems at 2180 MHz.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A200 - Won't boot with 4GB RAM

    Hi,
    I've installed 2 x 2GB, but it seems it doesn't work. The funny thing is that when running just one memory strip (so 2GB) it works, when running both it doesn't work and it freezes. These are the Samsung 2GB 2Rx8 PC2 - 6400s - 666 - 12 - E3
    Ive' installed the latest BIOS update (64bit v2.60) for the Satellite Pro A200 and I am running Windows 7 64bit

    Hi caribman
    What Satellite Pro A200 you have exactly?
    I ask this because some A200 models were equipped with Intel 943GML chipset and these models support 2GB only!!!

    Hi Peter,
    Do you try an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If yes please try a new and clean installation of Windows 7. Does this work?
    Another question: Is your CD/DVD drive working properly or is it listed with yellow exclamation mark in device manager?
    In your case I would try to remove the drive from device manager and restart the notebook. After this the drive will be recognized automatically.
