allocate more memory for my video card
model of my laptop is HP Pavilion dv4-1444dx entertainment notebook pc. I want to put more memory for the video card. my friend told me that I can assign more ram to my video card. I wanted to reach a certain condition for a game, but the "dedicated video memory" is only 64 MB. the allocated memory is 1.2 GB. I want to increase dedicated video memory. Help, please. Thank you.
Hello
Unless you see a BIOS setting allows to allocate more memory from the memory installed modules, it cannot be changed. I just checked the service manual for your laptop series. There is no setting in the BIOS, so the answer is that you can not change it.
Your best bet is to increase the installed memory to the maximum, depending on whether your OS is 32-bit or 64-bit.
A 32-bit operating system may use no more @3.2 than GB of RAM while a 64 bit OS can use as much as the motherboard of your laptop (by design) will accept.
Best regards

Satellite P300-1EI (PSPCCE) - how to allocate more memory to the graphics card?
Hello
I have a laptop toshiba satellite P300 with this graphics card: ATI mobility radeon HD 3650.
I want to allocate more memory for this graphics card. How could I do?I can't do this in my bios, I don't have this option...
Another way?
Hello
Something like that is not possible because the graphics card driver it controls automatically.
If the graphics card would need more graphics memory then the driver assigns the amount of necessary RAM automatically. -
SR2180NX adding memory and a video card, how?
I finally decided to do a upgrade to my PC but I pushed my brain batty, trying to figure out how I would add memory and if I should update my video card now cause my Sims 2 game, instead of smooth running, it runs a little rough and frame by frame. Very annoying. I also want the Sims 3 to be able to run on my computer, I hope I can get it all done before they release.
I have windows vista Home premium, and I have a PC I did not do anything for her, so it's a bit as if it was from the factory around a few programs of vanilla.

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but can run relatively slower. Autonomous cards installed in vanilla (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP) PCI slots, such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform badly. Intel chipsets integrated starring parts underclockes would not run properly.
Chipsets integrated such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should operate satisfactorily.
Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that is not listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or make the game work do not at all.
The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.
and he also said when I watched the news of the memory of the BIOS screen:

Memory seems simple and easy to do, but the power SUPPLY and the video card, makes me a little nervous, any suggestions on what I should get and instructions on how to proceed will be greatly appreciated Thx! I apologize for this post being so long.
Message edited by CareBear31 on 02/05/2009 13:02Adding instructions are here. When you buy new memory be sure and go to the website of the manufacturer of the memory. Use only brands so that they ensure th your product compatibility. Use the memory Configurator tools on the website of the manufacturer of the memory. Here are a few major brands for you: Kingston, Crucial, Corsair:
Change the power supply: This video on youtube is pretty decent for generic power supply switching.
Thislinkhas information on opening the cover and remove the cover.
When you select a video card do not get cards great physically (i.e. ATI HD 4870 / 4850) because they are double wide and does not have limited space. Fantastic cards but are not for the pre-built PC.
Any ATX PSU fits your case. 450 watts or therabouts enough for almost any addition of hardware on your pc. Do yourself a favor and stick the best brands such as Corsair, OCZ and others. Generic brands are not worth the problems they can bring even if they are cheaper.

update the driver for a video card
Recvd this msg: "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD drive decoder and video card protection. Try to install a driver available for your video card. How do I do that?
Hello
To prevent the illegal creation of digital copies of DVD, information on most of the DVDs are blurred. Your DVD decoder and Windows Media Player have software to copy protection that decodes the information on the DVD just before posting. If this software does not start successfully, you may receive this error. Remove the DVD in the DVD drive and then reinsert. This will force the copy protection software to reset.
While the DVD is out the disk, make sure that your DVD is clean. If your DVD is scratched or dirty, the DVD player may not be able to read it correctly, and you may receive this error.
If this does not work, try the following:
a. If you have been able to play DVDs on your computer before and you receive this error message, you may be able to solve the problem by restarting your computer or Windows Media Player.
b. If you receive this error message the first time you try to play a DVD, you're not a DVD decoder installed, or your decoding software may need to be updated. In addition to your DVD - ROM drive and playback software, you must have a software or hardware decoder to play DVD decoders. devices and their drivers are available from third-party manufacturers. For more information on the software decoders, see DVD plug-in decoder. If you have a plu decoder installed, contact the manufacturer of the decoder to obtain an updated version that is compatible with the operating systems Microsoft Windows and Windows Media Player.
Also, look at the Media Player Plug - ins - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx

How to decrease the memory on the video card to a windows 2003 VM?
I know that the graphics card by default in ESX memory is 4 MB. To solve a problem, I increased the memory on the video card 16 MB by adding 'svga.vramsize = 16777216' to the vmx file. That has worked well. Now, I want to put it to 8 MB, but once I modified the vmx file, I reboot the virtual machine after the reboot, the vmx file goes back to the value of 16 MB. Windows always shows 16 MB. If I remove the line entirely out of the vmx file, it should go back to the default of 4 MB, but it shows still 16 MB in the windows operating system. Can anyone help with this?
You must edit the vmx with off the virtual machine.

Cannot allocate more memory to the virtual machine image
Hello
I am currently using VMWare Workstation 5.5.4. I have a Win XP image that I run. My host computer has 4 GB of ram (3 GB recognized by hospitality Windows OS).
Currently, I am only able to allocate a maximum of 1 372 MB to my virtual machine Image. I want to allocate more memory to my image, as I do more memory intensive tasks to my image. If I try to increase the amount of memory (even to 1376 MB), I get the following error message:
Any ideas on how I can increase the amount of memory I can attribute to my image? I use only 1 image currently.
Loking at your vmware.log file, I see that you have a section "DEFAULT USER" including a "prefvmx.allVMMemoryLimit = line 1429". I believe that it is in conflict with the ' SITE HOST/DEFAULTS ' section which specifies "prefvmx.allVMMemoryLimit = 2297".
The ' HOST/SITE DEFAULTS' config.ini is the traditional config.ini file that people recommend that you edit. On XP, it should be located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini
I can't tell you exactly where the file config.ini 'DEFAULT USER' is located on Windows XP as I am running Vista. I would start by looking under C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\VMware\VMware Workstation\config.ini to see if this file exists. Or you can search your hard drive a config.ini file that contains the 'prefvmx.allVMMemoryLimit = 1429"line.
I would recommend not not using the "DEFAULT USER" config.ini file at all. In fact, on a default installation of Workstation 6.5 this config.ini file does exist. I would recommend so transfer config.ini 'DEFAULT USER' settings to the "HOST/SITE DEFAULTS' config.ini and then delete the file config.ini 'DEFAULT USER '.
After this is done, try again and let us know if things work better.

Satellite T130 - how to allocate memory on the video card?
Hi all
You just bought a T130 has 4 GB of ram.
I would attribute this to the video card.How can I do this, I do not see it in the BIOS, normally there is a setting to change AGP aperture but I can't.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Hello
This setting is controlled by the driver of the software or the hardware itself and it cannot be changed. However, you really don't need to worry; If more RAM is required (almost always because of the game) it it will get to the need.
