"Tried Corsair VS1GSDS533D2, it doesn't work either. Their Tech support suggested Bios update, otherwise not helpful. Guess I'll try Kingston KTT version, it appears most other "value ram " versions do not work."

NOT recommended for A105-S101,January 18, 2010
By I checked
"I called Kingston tech support directly. They said they have had incompatibility issues with the chipset in Satellite A105-S101 AND "NO LONGER SUPPORT THAT MODEL" Called Corsair Tech Support and they said that Item VS1GSDS533D2 WILL work with this model. Otherwise I would always recommend Kingston as great Ram."

Satellite Series Memory Upgrade,January 3, 2010
By LincolnFanaticfrom Buchanan, NY
"My Satellite A135-4656 laptop was running very sluggish (purchased Summer of 2007). I only had 512MB RAM and recently upgraded to the 1GB RAM module. To be frank, it did increase the speed of all the applications, however, if you only have 512MB just pay the extra & go with the 2GB module.
P.S. Kudos to Toshiba's customer service team. Quick & efficient."

Memory & Speed!!!,December 18, 2009
By Frankiefrom Walnut Creek, CA.
"My daughter gave me her old Toshiba Satellite L25-S121 laptop, that she & now husband shared in college, nursing & law schools... It was slooooooooow and they both purchased new machines. I had to wipe it clean and the machine had only 256mb of ram. The machine was still slow (start up and shut down were horrible) even after the new install etc. I knew I needed more ram. I purchased "the King" Kingston 1GB and did the so easy install of ram... UNBELIEVABLE SPEED and it is like a brand new machine!!! The kids saw this and frowned for giving up the machine... Oh well ones former trash is now the old man's KING's Treasure!"

Memory Makes a Difference,December 1, 2009
By Kirkfrom Knoxville, TN
"Wow, I am so impressed. I had never changed memory in a laptop before so I was a little apprehensive, but no fear, if I can do it so can you!! There was an immediate improvement in the speed of my Toshiba. Programs that used to take several minutes to load were up in no time at all. A great improvement. Thanks Toshiba!"

A must have for a faster pc!,August 25, 2009
By Burtfrom monrovia ca
"Bought a Toshiba Satellite A105 S101. It came with only 256MB and was so slow I wanted to throw it against the wall! It would freeze if to many windows were open while on the net or running a few programs at once. At first I thought it was the Celeron-M processor running so slow. Upgraded to max of 2GB and boy what a difference! Now takes under two mins to fully boot. Runs so much faster to the point, i'm no longer frustrated with this machine. Was going to buy another PC but will keep for now. Upgrade memory first, b4 anything else! Especially if you are running Vista. Save your sanity!"

Most Excellent RAM,August 9, 2009
By Anaheimguyfrom Las Vegas, NV
"I wanted to increase the original 512mb RAM to 2gb so that Vista Home Basic would run better. I tried the "cheaper" varieties available on ebay. Not so fast dude. Those things are NOT always "compatible", even when they are the same specs (PC2-4200, 533MHz FSB, DDR2 SODIMM).
So, I came back to Toshiba, bought 2 of their 1gb Kingston SODIMM sticks for my A135-S2326, and shazzam ... it works GREAT!
You might spend a few more bucks/stick at Toshiba, but not having the hassles of incompatibility are well worth it!!!"

I can now startup my computer and get online witin about 5 seconds, compared to the previous 5 minute wait.

The best alternative to buying a new laptop!,February 27, 2009
By Alfrom Bellflower CA
"I purchased my Toshiba Satellite M55-S1001 in September 2006. It was very slow from the get-go. I didn't know about upgrading, memory, etc. A few weeks, I was tired and frudtrated how slow my laptop was compared to everyone else's. So I was prepared to buy a new Toshiba laptop, even another brand. I began to research, what I could possibly do, and read something on Memory "RAM." I read through my instruction manual which came with my laptop, and it said I could upgrade my memory. I still was not sure what this would do, so I went online to the Toshiba web site. I found what I needed, A memory module. I read the reviews and was sold by the idea that upgrading the memory will make your laptop faster. I purchased the memory module. I installed it. My laptop was fast! Really fast! I am going to buy another memory module to make it 2GB. I am really happy with the product and specialy the price. This is the best deal."

Like a new machine,January 24, 2009
By Left Coasterfrom Thousand Oaks, CA
"Most significant improvement in performance I've experienced in an upgrade. From taking forever to load and having to carefully manage how many programs and windows are open at one time to no problem ever. Price was right, quality has proven solid, and I have no complaints"

Does what it says it would,December 24, 2008
By SGT Dfrom Hesperia,CA
"I have two Toshiba Laptops. I just purchased and recieved 2 1gig memory modules for my A105-s2716 lap top. I had 2 512mb memory modules in it. My computer is twice as fast now as well as does not bog down when running multiple large applications. I even changed a few of the performance settings which has given me the full power of the memory modules. I run windows xp and it boots up just as fast as mac now. If you have vista you will be silly not to upgrade ur memory"

Brilliant - love it, love it, love it!,April 17, 2008
By CandyCanesfrom Alexandria, VA
"I decided last Friday that I had totally had it with my A105 S2081 - but I knew I couldn't afford to replace it. So, I looked on Toshiba.com - put in my laptop's details and it gave me the choices I had - I went for the Kingston 1GB, since I wanted the thing to be much faster, even though I had no idea how to install it. (By the way you can get it cheaper other places, but I preferred to trust Toshiba, and I think I was right!)
It came less than a week later by GROUND (why pay extra!), Toshiba's website had the manual to my laptop and in the memory section it told me exactly what to do - remove battery first, then follow the memory installation instructions. It took a novice with no idea 10 minutes tops - and it works briliantly - I feel like my computer is working at warp speed. Before, it took about 20 minutes for a restart to load everything and now it took less than 2 minutes. You gotta get one of these!"
