Satellite A100-626 - Maximum system memory supported?

Hi,
I have a Satellite A100-626 with 2Gb of RAM memory.
As stated in specs for this model:
standard : 1,024 (512+512) MB
maximum expandability : 4,096 MB
technology : DDR2 RAM (533 MHz)
expansion module sizes : 256, 512, 1,024 MB
It says that it can go up to 4Gb, but only shows module sizes up to 1Gb. (maybe 2Gb modules didn't existed at the time).
Anyone knows or tested if it is possible to install 2 modules of 2Gb or 1 module of 4Gb to reach the maximum expandability of 4Gb?
Also, does it supports frequency's up to 800MHz? If not, whats the maximum value?
And at last, does DDR3 work on this model?
Thanks in advance for the replys.

Hi
I found this Toshiba product page:
[Satellite A100-626|http://pt.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=PT&DISC_MODEL=0 &ACTION=PRINT_WITH_BACK&BV_UseBVCookie=yes&PRODUCT _ID=119571]
Its a Portuguese Toshiba page because I believe that this notebook model was designed for Portuguese market.
There you can find a info that its possible to upgrade the RAM to 4GB (2 x 2Gb RAM).
But note; the 32bit Operating system will be not able to use the full 4GB RAM.
Just the 6bit OS can use and recognize the full 4GB
> Also, does it supports frequency's up to 800MHz?
This depends on the chipset. If the chipset would allows the 800Mhz then the memory module would run at 800Mhz otherwise they would be clocked down.
> And at last, does DDR3 work on this model?
No, as far as I know just DDR2 modules are supprted.

Strange USB Flash Drive Behaviour on Satellite A100-626

Hello,
I've cleaned install Windows Vista Business Edition on my Satellite A100-626 (PSAA9) following the instructions provided in the Drivers webpage.
So far everything works as expected, except a small (or not) issue.
When I ask Vista to "Safely Remove Hardware" my USB Flash Drive, a Popup appears telling me to remove it. So far, so good :D
The only thing is that the flash drive doesn't power down as one could expect and and yellow question mark appears in device manager.
Opening the question mark one can read the following:
"Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for safe removal, but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47) To fix this problem, unplug this device from your computer and plug it again."
Following the above instruction the light go out, lol...
Has anyone else encountered this strange behavior? If so, any solution?
Tried a couple of USB flashes that work fine under XP and they both do the same.
Thank You, Nuno!

Hi
Found something interesting on the Microsoft website:
To fix this problem, unplug this device from the computer and then plug it in again.
The device has been prepared for ejection.
This error code occurs only if the user used the Safe Removal application to prepare the device for removal, or pressed a physical eject button. Restarting the computer brings the device online if the user does not want to eject from the dock.
Unplug the device, and then plug it in again. Alternately, restart the computer to make the device available.

Satellite A100 shuts down after memory upgrade

Consider me as 1 of the thickie bunch.. Not even sure wot im talkin bout but here goes n e way...........
Have a Satellite A100 570 ( PSAA2E)..........
Have tried several different online sites lookin for memory upgrade. Didn't have the witt to use toshiba site...... Ended up going with Crucial.........
Ran diagnostic on laptop and was sent the module a needed.or so i thought....... wrong 1 or 1s as i bought 2 x 1G modules in order to " double up".....
Got my money back as they were not compatable with my system.. something to do with density problems....
Tried company called OFFTEK........ they seemed to know what they were talkin about....... I have from Offtek. at present a..........
200 Pin 1.8v DDR2 PC2-4200 SoDimm....... but Toshiba have recommended below......
1GB PC2-4300 DDR2 Memory (533MHz)
Part Number: PA3411U-2M1G
1024MB (1GB) Memory PC2-4300 DDR2 (533MHz)
Theres an obvious difference ...... 4200 and 4300. But im not sure if its a significant difference........... or what it means
Have updated bios to most recent version and basically updated everything toshiba had to offer for this model...........
Ran EVEREST and it recognises the 1G module but when i take out the original 512mb module the laptop starts for about 3 seconds then shuts down...
this repeats about 5 times then complete shutdown.....
I dont like opening the back cover too often but this is the 3rd module ....
Not sure whats meant to happen if the module is working...i.e start up message..not sure if windows recognises 1G module....
Would it be safer bet to send Offtek module and stick with toshiba option.....
Thanks in advance.....

Cheers R2........ suppose at this stage i could start rhyming off a load of star wars lines but uve probably hears them all before.......
N e way......... checked out the link u posted..........very useful......
The module described is identical to what i have.............As with previous reply ( above ) im not sure what to do.........might take up Offteks offer of replacing the module but slightly concerned it might have same outcome......Still not happy bout opening the cover so much........nut needs must i suppose

Does Satellite A100-812 (PSAAR) PCI slot supports MXM standard

Hi,
I have a Satellite A100-812 at the moment and I was wondering if the PCI-e slot matches 1 of the mxm standarts.
And if so, could it be replaced with another graphics card, say an 8600M GT?

Hi Marien
The Satellite A100 does not support the MXM (Mobile PCI Express Module) interface and the graphic card replacement or upgrade is definitely not possible!!!
The graphic card is fixed and soldered on the board and you cannot remove it!
If you want you could use the forum advanced search option and could search for similar threads regarding this theme.
But I assume you will find always the same info which is; GPU upgrade is not possible
Best regards and have a nice day!!

Re: Windows Vitual PC with Satellite A100-906

Hi,
can I use Windows Virtual PC on my laptop Satellite A100-906? My CPU support virtualization but I cant install Windows Virtual PC.
In BIOS I havent setting for virtualization enable.
Thanks

Hi
As far as I know the notebook uses the CORE2 DUO T5600(1.83GHZ) CPU.
According to the Intel page the VT is supported by this CPU:
Check this:
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=27254&processor=T5600&spec-codes=SL9SG,SL9SP,SL9U3,SL9U7,SLA4E
Therefore it should be possible to use the Intel Virtualization Technology.
Update the BIOS and check if there is a option which could enable / disable the VT.

Satellite A100-768 - need video card driver for Win 8

Hi everybody,
I cannot find any driver suitable for my Satellite A100-768 where I just installed Win8, my graphic card should be Ati x1400 but nothing work even with Ati and/or toshiba drivers.
Please help me!

Hi
The old Satellite A100-768 isnt Win 8 supported notebook model.
The notebook was equipped with an ATI X1600 (code: M54P 128MB DDR RAM)graphic chip.
I dont think that ATI has developed an Win 8 compatible driver for this old graphic chip.
In my opinion you can use only an standard graphic driver which is part of Win 8 system

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!

Installing Linux system on a Satellite A100

Hi - I am new to these forums so please be kind with my limited knowledge . My partner has a satellite A100 laptop that has Windows XP installed on it. Due to driver and upgrade probs - he now wishes to install a linux op system on it (Ubuntu). When I try to install it gets to a certain point then freezes. It appears the cd drive stops reading? I have checked the cd driver, and also the installl disc and all ok. I tried to install through windows but the same problem happened? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Hm, usually there should be also an option "High" or something like "Always High". So, I suggest you to perform a bios update and then to check if such an option is available.
Otherwise you should look into the toshiba powersaver and make sure that everthing is on maximum.

System frequency on a Satellite A100-01L notebook should always be high

Hello,
Because I am a battlefield gamer there is a speed problems with my notebook.
It is a Satellite A100-01L notebook with 1.73 GHz normal system tact. (2 GByte RAM, 120 GByte HD).
The system frequency changes between 800 MHz (without hard job...) and 1.73 GHz (if it seems to be necessary). In the system BIOS its possible to select a 800 MHz (named slow ') or a dynamic clock speed (called: 'dynamic' modus).
My question is: was it possible to set the system clock always to 1.73 GHz?
Thank you.

Virtual Sound does not support my Satellite A100-998 with Vista

Hi.
I have Satellite A100-998, and yesterday i find for my laptop available new driver. I download Virtual Sound for my laptop and for vista and when i try install driver i have error "Toshiba Virtual Sound does not support your computer." Why
Ps. Sorry for my bad English, but please help me!

Hi,
had you "Virtual Sound" before? If no, then your machine has probably NO "Virtual Sound". But if yes, then check if you downloaded the appropriate driver for your machine, because there are some many variations of the machine you have, and some of these machines have absolutely different hardware.
Which operating system is on your machine installed?

Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Win32 function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.

Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory from a VI? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Call Library function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.
The data is being received at 1Mbps.
Thanks

Two questions:
One, if it's a serial card, then presumably it gives you more serial ports, like COM3, COM4, etc. If so, VISA would see the COM ports, and not the card directly. The drivers for the card should make it so that you see the extra serial ports from the OS. If you don't see the extra COM ports from VISA, then it sounds like the drivers for the card are not installed properly. Do the extra COM ports show up in Device Manager?
Two, you said that you're using a Call Library function to get the data and you want to put it into system memory. Errr.... you just read the data and you have it in memory by definition. Are you saying you need a way to parse the data so it shows up on a graph or something?

Does Satellite A100-667 supports SATA2 HDD

Hello,
I have got a Toshiba Satellite A100-667 PSARRE and I should know if it supports a new HD by 250 GB 7200rpm SATA2 (or SATA/300).
I don't know if it supports SATA 2. Someone can help me please.
Tnx

As far as I know for this older notebook model you cannot use SATA2 HDDs. About capacity Toshiba doesnt offer any concrete info but I can imagine this notebook will be able to handle with 250 GB HDD.
Try it! I don't know where you live but if there is some compatibility problem you can send the HDD back. Just ask how many time you have to send the product back.
