Is this a good question?

This is a case where more mem wont help this computer . Your processor will not work well with multi function and graphic adapter will only handle 4 gb of share memory . So anything extra installed will not get used even if it does accept it and it should as it is 64bit. Working this machine to the point of needing more mem will be more than the rest of the system can handle . If your trying to speed up the laptop a SSD is your best money . If you do only have 1gb in then going to 4gb will help but more than the 4 would probably be a waste . Hope this helps

Hi,
Here is a link to the specifications for the laptop from the Toshiba website.
It states 4 GB (4096MB) is the maximum.
You could always try 8 GB and see if it works. Just ensure that it is DDR2 800MHz (pc2-6400) SODIMM

Hi @John Grant
What is the full model number of the laptop?
Sounds as though it has 1 x 2GB memory module and 1 x 4GB memory module.
The information regarding the type of ram should be on the module, search online for another 4GB ram module with the same specifications.
Alternatively, enter the laptop details into this supplier's webpage to hopefully find out what type of ram (memory module) is used in your laptop.
You don't have to buy from them just use the information to find suppliers that suit you best.
There are videos on YouTube that show how to remove/replace memory in a laptop. Search YouTube for Toshiba Satellite (insert model number) ram upgrade
