I have a Toshiba Satellite A100, Celeron M process (so its MEGA powerful).
The model # is PSAA5C-TA102C.

The A100 was apparently made with 3 different chipsets, and the different chipsets have different compatible memory:
Intel 945 (used for other CPU's)
Intel 915
ATI

If "chipset" is synonymous with graphics chip then it is definitely ATI.

Thanks

Windows Device Manager can tell you also.

Look under System Devices.
