Toshiba PA2032U NW2032U 16MB Memory Satellite 400-430 Portege 610CT Tecra 720CDT
The Toshiba PA2032U (also labeled NW2032U) is a 16MB proprietary laptop memory module designed for mid-1990s Toshiba notebook computers. Manufactured by MPM GOLDENRAM, it uses Samsung SEC KM416V1004AT-6 EDO DRAM chips and installs into Toshiba's proprietary memory slot — not a standard SO-DIMM format. This module doubles the base RAM on compatible Toshiba portables, improving multitasking performance under Windows 95/3.11.

Applications
This module was designed as a RAM upgrade for Toshiba's mid-1990s portable computer lineup — a generation of notebooks sold between roughly 1994 and 1997, including the Satellite, Portege, and Tecra series of the era. These machines shipped with 4MB or 8MB base RAM and supported expansion through Toshiba's proprietary memory slot, which accepted modules like the PA2032U rather than the industry-standard SO-DIMM connectors that became common later. A 16MB total configuration was considered a substantial upgrade for running Windows 95 and productivity applications of the period. Today these modules are sought primarily by collectors and technicians maintaining vintage Toshiba hardware, as the proprietary slot format means standard laptop memory cannot substitute.
This Toshiba PA2032U NW2032U 16MB laptop memory module has been tested at our facility and is in good working condition. The PCB is clean and intact with no broken traces or physical damage visible. The gold edge connector shows light oxidation consistent with normal age and use for a mid-1990s memory module. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
