705099 2008-09-14 02:56:00 My Toshiba laptop is a Satellite A100 PSAA9A-046004. Where would I look to find/and buy suitable RAM for an upgrade?

As always - TIA :)

705100 2008-09-14 03:08:00 According to the Toshiba Brochure (203.56.127.51) (Pg 14, last Column based on your PSA code) your max RAM is 4 Gigabytes.
It uses DDR2 @ 533mhz.

Look around at stores and online at Pricespy.co.nz

I'd personally go for the Kingston ValueRam series.

705102 2008-09-14 11:22:00 Hi RM

Got mine at Noel Lemming, where and when I brought my Toshi A/100. Be aware these come fitted with 1g. However, it is comprised of 2 x 520mb boards.

I'll talk to Noel Lemming today. My laptop is a couple of years old - checked this am with crucial.com tool - it has 512MB currently installed with capacity for 2048. I looked yesterday, and yes it has two places for RAM.

Thanks. :)

They were a bit sniffy - said they only dealt with modern laptops (ie less than 1 week old, one suspects!) so I'll follow another line of inquiry...

Of course. All PCs benefit from more RAm, even if it is older stuff.

I keep coming back to this post in my research. I now realise I don't really know how to differentiate between what is suitable for laptops vs desktops when looking at the 'numbers'! Some advice would sure be appreciated...
