How can I expand the RAM of Toshiba S855-S5168 up to 16 GB, and at what price?

The laptop comes with 2x4Gb memory (2, 4GB sticks). You need to get 2x8GB. Search Amazon for just that, or Google the same.

You would have to take the back off the laptop to access the motherboard. There would be 2 4GB sticks you would take out and replace with 2 8GB sticks, which would cost about $100.

Agree with Sean Meister. According to the spec sheet for the Satellite A105-S4064 laptop found on Toshiba's web site, this model shipped with PC4200 DDR2 SDRAM (533 MHz) and can accommodate 512 MB minimum to 4GB maximum. So, the Kingston ValueRAM PC25300 2GB module should work.

Try going on Yahoo and type 1215N memory. You will get many sites showing the upgraded memory and different prices. I have an asus laptop that had the 4 gig and transferred it to my 1215N then ended up buying from Crucial Memory the upgrade for the larger computer.

I do not believe the ram can be expanded. However Tha ram has not been an issue in my usage

yes you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck

You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

Hello, you can see what Crucial GB Memory Chips will both fit your computer, and how much Memory it can expand to at this URL: http://www.crucial.com/ Run the "System Scanner Tool", and then choose what it is exactly you want to Upgrade to, depending on price and capacity. You can then purchase these parts from Crucials Website Directly, or look for a better price on Amazon, just make sure they are in fact the same Modules, (PARTS) from either site.

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

Hi Donald W., I suggest that you look up the original specs of your particular Toshiba model to check compatibility. Your best bet would be OEM Toshiba (or whatever current brand is in the laptop) RAM. You should also be able to find limits if you are wanting to increase. Just look up the specs or find forums for Toshiba laptops. Good luck.

From what I understand, the A205-S5835 is not upgradable. I purchased this memory for mine and my system would not load. I called the company and they said that it is not compatible because the A205 only holds 1GB. I found that hard to believe and contacted Toshiba and they confirmed that this is true. This A205 was an inexpensive laptop that really is not upgradeable.

the specs are usually on the old ram installed there fore you should match up the numbers also since you are useing ddr they should run in pairs and with that being said you need to go to toshiba support site and see what is the max mem. your pc can run. I would recomend installing the maximum since you will be pulling out modules that may never have another use. hope this is helpful

I searched Crucial's RAM Adviser but did not find your Toshiba model number?? I do not have a Toshiba but CHECK for the following with your old RAM. Make sure your old RAM IS: 1. it is DDR2 (not DDR3), 2. That it is 200-pin SODIMM (not 204 or other), and 4. the same or similar speeds 800 MHz Also you MUST have a 64-bit operating system for anything over 4 GB to be recognized. If it is 32-bit it would only see 4 GB, and not the total of this kit, which is 8 GB. GOOD LUCK... Finally Amazon is very good about returns, so if it does not work you can return it, and either exchange it for something else of get a refund.

I bought this laptop from TigerDirect.com store (old CompUSA), mine had 4X2 gig (all the slots were full). I had to buy 4X4 gig to upgrade to 16 gig overall, fortunately they were on sale. By the way, would anyone like to purchase 4X2 gig sticks of DDR3 ram? LOL

the memory is expandable to 16 gig , but it is not a simple task , look at this manual on page 2 and page 65 http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04162986.pdf and this http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Hardware-Upgrades-Replacements/HP-15-quot-model-15-g012dx-RAM-Upgrade/td-p/4162718

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.
