Looking to upgrade: L45-7423 memory issues/upgrade

[Uranium-235]

so some of you already read my post below, not a problem anymore

I decided to take this thing apart down to the motherboard so I can get an idea what it take to do a cpu swap. pretty easy takeapart next to some other ones i've done

I used MMtools to look at the 1.60 and 2.00 bios and it shows a microcode for the release date of the T7300, so i'm guessing it *should* take one. I'm guessing anyways. oh well I spent $10/free shipping on ebay for a SLA45

[if you dont' know, chipset is Intel 965G (GL960)]

One thing about this top is its listed under toshiba as having a max of 2gb of ram, well I have a 1gb and 2gb stick in it and it works fine. but it is having some trouble with the 2gb stick in alot A, windows won't boot, memtest fails to even try to start.

with the 2gb stick in slot b and 1gb in slot A, it works great, memtest runs fine. what do you guys think?

wait i'm confused. further research has come up with the GL960 as supporting 2GB and a 533max bus, and a 965G supporting 4gb /w a 667 bus

CPU-Z shows me to have a 965GM graphics but a GL960 chipset

I have 3 gigs, and cpu-z (and bios) show it to be in dual channel, and memtest shows up 3gb without errors

how can I have a 1gb and 2GB stick and both report dual channel? anyone know what is going on? This makes no sense whatsoever

Hey Uranium,

I'm not sure how to address the memory issue your experiencing, but if no one else is able to help you here in the Toshiba subforums, I can move this thread to the Hardware Subforum of Notebookreview; you may receive better help there.
Hardware Components and Aftermarket Upgrades

Let me know if and when you want the thread moved.

Good luck

if you think that will help sure
