• Satellite L450-188 - used video memory size

  Hi all

  When I go to DirectX tells me that my approximate total video memory is 1326 MB (wrong, it takes just of RAM). For a Toshiba Satellite L450-188 - how can I define clearly what it takes be the used video memory size and the RAM?
  I use Windows 7 Home, 32-bit version.

  Thank you

  Hi mate

  The memory cannot be assigned manually for graphics card!
  Everything works automatically!
  This means that this graphics card driver automatically controls this process and assigns him only if memory it s really need!

• Win XP (Pro) - the correct virtual memory size

  The default size of the system to the optimal size is?

  What happens when it is too beneath and above the optimum size?

  No one can tell you that, without more information on your system.

  They can guess and suggest things like the committed Microsoft Support Engineer "experts":

  'Increase the value of the initial and maximum size to a higher value.

  Who has no sense at all, but it is advice from these committed Microsoft alleged Support Engineer "experts."

  Increase by 10, 100, 1000, a meelion?

  If your pagefile is out of whack, you might see something like that:

  Virtual memory minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory.  Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.

  This means that Windows XP is to let you know that he does his work.  The message is not an error message - this is an informational message.

  If XP thinks that the size of the swap file (usually c:\pagefile.sys) is too small to accommodate your day-to-day transactions, it will adjust the paging file to expand the pagefile and display this message as it does.  It is not necessarily a 'problem', but the message is boring.

  My notes:

  At least that learn you more about managing memory than Windows XP, it is usually best to simply let XP manage the size of your virtual memory paging file.

  To see what your current, make settings right click post work, properties, advanced, performance settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory, and then click the button change.

  Make a note of the current settings in case you need to change their return more later.

  The best setting for the size of swap file is usually going to be:

  System managed size

  Right click my computer, properties, Advanced tab, Performance... Settings, Advanced tab, virtual memory... Change.

  Note the current setting, so you can change things later if you have a problem.

  If it is already done, on the size of swap file:
  
  System managed size

  Don't forget to click on Set (to be defined), OK several times to save the settings and then restart your computer.

  Windows XP will attempt to affect a swap file approximately 1.5 times the total amount of RAM installed on your system.  To manage the size of paging file Windows XP is enough for most configurations.

  If your system is not set to the size of the managed system, you must determine how it changed and why (usually a bad reason), make a note of the current settings to change them back later if necessary, and then change the setting to the size of the managed system, click on the Set button and then click on apply to apply the changes (you will be asked to restart).

  "Because someone told me to" is not a good reason to start making adjustments to the size of pagefile.  Setting just above to enlarge it by an arbitrary value can ease the symptoms of the problem and stop message, but may not result in the best configuration for your system.

  All the advice to 'Increase the value of the initial and maximum size to a higher value' are misinformed ideas that come from not knowing how to work XP - How do you increase it and what happens if you increase too?

  If you want your system to operate as efficiently as possible, you must understand what is happening and fix it properly and not only begin to try things or make some arbitrary adjustments.

  The size of the pagefile can really need adjustment, but you should at least try to know what you're doing and why you need to do.  It is unlikely that anyone can tell you how to adjust your settings properly without more information.

  If you don't know what are the best settings, or if you are not sure what should be your settings and need help looking at your stuff, follow these steps:

  Click Start, run and enter in the box:

  Msinfo32

  Click OK, and when the system info summary appears, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and what appears to be personal information for you, simply delete the personal information of the pasted information.

  This minimize back Q & A and eliminate the guesswork and assumptions.

• How to adjust shared video memory - R10/R600 teacher of Win7 32-bit size

  Hello

  I use two laptops in the business - R600 and R10. Both with Intel 4500 graphics card and shared video memory. Both win Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. In both cases the system of reserve 1 159 MB of video memory. As I do not play no matter what games, I don't need to lose an enormous amount of memory - I want to release as much as possible for the system and programs.

  For the purposes of the trial, I installed Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Surprisingly, it holds only 199MB of video memory - it looks like the issue of the BONE.

  Anyone know how I can reduce the size of the video memory under Windows 7 32 bit?

  Kind regards

  PAB 567

  As far as I know, this can be done manually and shared memory is controlled by the system.

  If you n t use it for games I n t see any problem here. I put t know what kind of activity you do with your laptop, but I can't imagine there is not enough memory to each day's activities.

  Is it not enough power for some operations or what?

• Cannot change the size of the video memory in Satellite L30-113

  I have a Satellite l30-113 which has 1 GB memory and windows Vista.

  The size of memory that has been attributed to the vga is 319 MB.
  How can I decrease the video memory?

  Hello

  do you really mean 319MB? This machine only supports a maximum video memory 256 MB shared memory. So if you might have 32 MB (which is how I imagine rather memory assigned to your VGA) you can increase the video memory of this machine by changing the value of memory assigned in the bios of your machine.

  Do you know how to enter the bios?

• Satellite 2450-201: how to increase the video memory from 32 to 64 MB?

  Can anyone help? I looked in the Bios and the advanced settings screen, and found nothing to increase the size of the video memory.
  Any other way to find on my Satellite 2450-201

  Hello

  As far as I know that the unit has been delivered with the NVidia GeForce4 420Go 32 MB graphics card. This isn't a memory sheared graphics card.
  The card supports the own memory and not a function of memory sheared.
  In this case, you cannot change the value of memory.

• Satellite L30-134: how to change shared video memory?

  Hello

  I have a laptop L30-134 with 512 MB of ram and 64 MB of video memory shared.

  I can't change the virtual memory from 64 MB to 128 MB.
  I reed some messages in this forum but I have no option in the Panel as "FrameBuffer" and the bios hase no option for the video display adapter, I tried to install the latest ati driver but ich time I get an error is not configuration / compatibil card whit say out.

  How I change my card adapter video shared memory size?

  Thank you.
  PS: sory for my bad English... :)

  Hello

  Using the latest display driver (you can download it at toshiba), then you will have the option of frame buffer memory. The initially installed driver doesn't have this option. You will be able to use the memory of 128 MB for vga. If you put your L30 512 MB, you can use 256 MB of video memory. But I found no differences in the games between 128 MB and 256 MB.

  The problem is that my video memory is low (128 MB). This laptop has a shared Intel GMA 4500 M video. How can I increase the size of the video memory? I can't find anything in the user manuals. I have the latest version of the driver for him... and I can't find where to increase its memory.

  Could you help me please?

  Thank you guys.

  When the laptop has shared graphics memory card, that means the RAM will be used for graphic operations (borrowing of memory of RAM your system of graphics chip).
  With RAM more available (upgrade of RAM), more memory will be available for graphics operations.

• Satellite L30: Cannot change video memory in Vista?

  tried to change the size of the video memory and can not find the option in vista?
  updated drivers but still no use.he driver uses the ati catalyst thingy.help

  Try a different display of the L30 series driver. I PSL33 L30-134 and the use of XP, but I use the L30 PSL30 display driver, because this driver has the ability to change the size of the video memory (this option is missing PSL33 driver). I use not yet Vista, but maybe you should try another driver display L30 (for example the PSL30 L30-134).

• Question about video memory on Satellite L30-113

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L30-113 and I managed to install a driver (I am learning how to in this forum, thx) for the video card, which allows me to change the size of the memory, what video card can be used. Configure the size of the (UMA) memory of 256 MB (including 128) properties, then in the properties of that memory for the graphics card is display 512?

  My question is that the size 512 memory is real? Video card really use this amount of memory or is unreal? If so is it better to go back to 128 (then in properties is 256), not to waste this memory for nothing.

  I know the les specifications specifications from the manufacturer, said 'max 256 memory hyper', but my question again: why in the properties I have the memory size: 512 MB?

  Thank you in advance, best regards.

  No, 512 MB is not true. The maximum size of video memory is 256 MB, but I do not know why your system shows 512 MB. If you set the video memory up to 256 MB performance will be no higher. Do not waste this memory to change anything back to 128 MB.

• Satellite L20-100: how to increase the video memory?

  Hello
  pls help me! I have this laptop, and I want to increase the video memory from 8 MB to 128 MB, because for the moment its share only 8 MB. How to do this?
  I am grateful for!

  Hello

  the machine cannot tell what size memory it should use. He has the ability to use 128 MB. But he will not use memory that is really necessary. So if you don't play games 3D or something like that, you don't need as much memory video.

  Good bye

• Add video memory for Pavilion a410e

  The max that I can choose is 64 MB, what is the difference between PCI and AGP video cards? It would be better for the HDTV display and work better with limited system memory? Thanks, Deb

  Deb, AGP is a newer technology and is considerably faster than the PCI ports.  So I suggest an AGP video card.  Now, that being said, I am not sure how well the computer will run with an HDTV because HP supports only 1 GB of system memory.  Additionally, make sure that the power supply unit (PSU) has enough power to run the card you choose correctly.  You can check the wattage in opening the case and by reading the label on the power supply.  The minimum power requirements should be available on the manufacturer's website.

• Will, adding a second video card to the top of my total video memory or each card is discreet?

  Very well.  I have a desktop which is a few years old, and I need to more video memory in order to run some new games smoothly.  So far, my 'helper' on my desktop HP has been useless for helping me find this basic information:

  -Info on my diet

  -I still have how many slots have opened

  Also, will adding a second card to the top of my video RAM in all, or do I have to replace the primary card?

  Thanks for any help!

  I received as a gift a laptop HP 15-r030wm.

• HP Pavilion g7-1219wm how to increase the video memory.

  Hello

  Question is simple. but the answer is impossible as HP make it harder for us to be able to take advantage of its total capacity on the products that we buy from them.

  was announce on this computer laptop specifications that the video memory can be up to 1973 MB.

  

  memory dedicated only 384 MB and can not be change, why shops you can use up to 1973 MB. Which for me is false adverticement other wise, they explain how you can get this amount of RAM.

  If some now knows it please explain and post in this forum.

  Thank you

  Jred452

  Hello:

  In fact, the answer is simple.

  Change video memory cannot be done by any means by the user.

  Video memory mapping is automatically assigned.

  The announced video memory is correct if the video card has to use the shared PC system memory.

  Go to your windows experience index window and click on the detailed report.

  It will show you how many dedicated graphic memory it is, it is the amount of system memory dedicated (normally the zero with a discreet graphics card) and the amount of system memory is available for the video card.

  This is whence your 'until 1973 Mo"- additional system memory that can be automatically assigned to the video card if necessary.
