shane1 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Hi, Bought a Toshiba A200-AH1 notebook and I want to upgrade the ram to 2 gigs of Corsair PC2-5300 Dual Channel. Checked the Corsair home page and it is listed as fine for the A200 series but not the specific AH1 series model which is a celeron. Further, the Corsair describes the entire A200 line as being Intel Core Duo or Core 2 Duo or Pentium M. No clear Celeron model mentioned. Since I plan to order this online it'd be better to know now rather than go through the pain of returning it. Any help or opinion would be appreciated. The exact system is shown from the link. http://209.167.114.38/support/techsupport/center/main.asp?displaytype=productcontents Advance thanks.

DerekT Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 My own personal advice with notebooks is NOT to order online and to have a tech shop install the DRAM and test with Memtest. You will very likely not end up with the many issues that notebooks can bring about with the installation of new DRAM. If you choose to order online and have issues, then you will be frustrated, unhappy and the choice was indeed yours. With a standard computer system, these issues are not as problematic, however, with notebooks they can often be so. Forewarned is forearmed. The extra possible time and frustration is not worth the few dollars saved in ordering online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
