I'd been given an older Toshiba Satellite because it was running slow. I was sure it just needed more ram and had tried other companies ram. Unfortunately, they weren't compatible although they said they were and I had to return them.
I ordered 2 of these (2x1GB) to upgrade from the factory installed 512MB. Ten minutes after receiving this ram, the old Toshiba was up and running like a new one. Works great. Thanks ETC.

This RAM works excellently! I used it in a toshiba NB305-N410BL netbook, and it transferred over to the new ram seamlessly! Highly recommended!

I installed the memory, unfortunately it is not working. But I know it is not the issue with the chips, my laptop is kind of old, I tried other mem modules, not working either. Anyway, I purchased mem for my other computers, so far so good.

I ordered 2 GB of RAM for my Toshiba Satellite M65-S809 laptop and paid for overnight. I was not disappointed! It arrived the next day. I installed it and it worked perfectly! Just came back and ordered memory for all our computers at our business.
Memory or RAM is a piece of hardware in your computer that holds software applications that you are working on. It serves as temporary working space between your computer’s hard drive and CPU.
Adding memory will improve your computer’s performance. Specifically, it will speed up opening new applications, running multiple applications at once, and switching between software applications (multi-tasking).
One task that additional memory speeds up is opening a new software application. Let’s take this as an example. When you open a new application on your computer, your computer’s CPU fetches the application from the hard drive and stores it in RAM memory. It stores it in RAM because RAM is very fast relative to the hard drive. When RAM gets full, and you open a new application then the CPU needs to kick out one of your open applications, put it back on the slow hard drive, fetch the new application from the hard drive, and place the new application in RAM. Basically, it swaps the applications.
This game of swapping wastes time. Ideally, your computer could have an infinite amount of RAM. Then your CPU would fetch an application once from the hard drive, save it into RAM, and never need to kick out another application. There is no such thing as infinite RAM, but you can max out the RAM on your computer by adding the maximum amount of memory to each socket.
To max out your RAM memory, add the maximum amount of memory to each memory socket. To find out how much RAM each socket can support, divide the system maximum RAM amount by the total number of sockets in your system.
For example, if your system maximum RAM is 2GB, and your system has 2 total sockets then the maximum amount each socket can support is 1GB. If one of the sockets is already filled then you can always remove the existing module and replace it with a higher capacity module.
No. The 1975 Magnusson-Moss Act prevents OEM manufacturers from disqualifying a warranty when 3rd party memory is used. For more details, please see the Magnuson-Moss Act.
Memory speed refers to the amount of time that memory (RAM) takes to put data into its memory or send it out. Your device’s memory will have an upper limit on the speed at which it can operate.
A memory kit is a number of memory modules sold as a unit or a kit. For example, a 1GB memory kit will contain two 512MB modules. This is written as (2x512MB).
