HI
Working on old, old Toshiba laptop for my daughter and grand kids.
The unit is so slow. Mostly due to never being turned on to update. (last windows update was over a year ago) Unit will be used to write school reports for middle school, etc.
The unit is a celeron cpu with 2 gig ram.
I ordered a new restore disk from Toshiba and will take the unit back to day one!
The unit is and will be running win 7,,, 64 bit.
I want to add another 2 to 4 gig of ram. Problem is finding ddr 2 ram.
I've looked for exact matches and can't seem to find any,
The Toshiba part number for the 2 gig ram is pa3669u-1m2g. Toshiba 2 gb ddr2 800 memory module
The Toshiba part number for the 4 gig ram is pa3670u-1m4g. Toshiba 2 gb ddr2 800 memory module
The id numbers on the chip installed in the laptop is m471b5673 fh0-cf8.
What is confusing me is some of the upgrade ram I found is ddr-3 running at a higher rate.
I'd like to get a exact match.
Or,,, is ddr3 downward compatible to ddr2, etc?? Also, not sure if voltages are the same for ddr2 and ddr3.
I've spent hours and hours looking up parts and,,,,,, am completely confused!!!
Any help,,, all help is needed
Thanks
