Equium M50-244: is it possible to install a better graphics card?

(COMPUTER of 1.40 GHz PROCESSOR INTEL CELERON M 360)

is it possible to put in a better graphics card, case, told me: -.

There isn't really anyway you can upgrade the graphics card easily because it will be integrated to the motherboard. It may be possible but you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop.

is this true?

Hi Craig,.

Most laptops have the graphics card built into the main in order to save space, and therefore it is not possible to update the graphics card, as you would with a PC. It is also why the graphics drivers are adapted versions of the originals.

I think that there is that a change to the chart separate cards in laptops so that the graphics card can be improved, but I don't think that it's generally available yet.

Kind regards

  • Is satellite A10 - possible to install the new graphics card?

    Hello

    I have a videocard Satelite A10, 2.2 Ghz, 712 MB of RAM, provided with your computer.

    I just bought the Sims 2 and thought from the specifications that I would be able to play on my current card. However when I try to run it it gets to the intro screen and then hangs when it is ready to go into the Menu. My first impressions are that I don't have a pretty good graphics card.

    I need a 32 MB T & L capable card so can someone confirm if this is why it would not work on the system.

    If that's the case I'm looking to see if it is possible to install a new graphics card on the machine I want to play more games to date.

    the map I'm looking at is Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 XT 256 MB AGP8X graphics card. It will work on the machine and it is likely to solve my problem?

    Thank you

    HI Jeff,

    In General, it is not possible to change the graphics card in your laptop. This is because the graphics cell are generally not a component separated (as with a normal PC), but generally a specific graphic chip attached to the motherboard so make the graphics a part of the laptop.

    At the same time, the graphics driver is normally a specially modified version will omit some of the more esoteric aspects of the normal driver to minimize the risk of overheating chip since it does not have its own cooling system. Given this, you will find probably than trying to load the latest graphic website manufacturers drivers (Nvidia, ATI, etc.) will not work, and you will therefore be limited to these pilots provided by Toshiba on their Web site.

    In order to get your copy of the SIMS 2 to run you need to omit or reduce some of the graphics settings in the game itself, or alternatively, you can try to use some of the graphics third-party drivers that are written to provide some of the omitted features of the original notebook drivers. Note that if you do that there is no guarantee that they won't cause your overheating graphics chip, even if I used the ATI Omega drivers for some time now without any problems. You can get them: -.

  • Equium M50-244: Question about upgrade memory and Wlan card

    I have a model Equium M50-244. What type of network adapter I need to fit a Wi - Fi connection on my hub (BT)?
    Also, I currently have 512 MB of ram installed. Can I increase this?

    Hi cora,

    Of course, you can improve the memory to a higher value.
    This book must support 2 slots of memory and it should be possible to increase memory for max 2048 MB. In this case, you can use 2 x 1024Mo module.

    I also found information that this laptop will accept this module:
    DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)

    Please give more information about your problem. It seemed the first time? And what operating system you have? Have you recently updated some drivers or installed new hardware?

    And no matter what, with this password? I mean that a password does not seem fair to nowhere! Where is this password? BIOS or Windows?

  • WEP encryption key do not forget when you restart the Equium M50-244

    I use a laptop Equium M50-244, with a BT Home Hub 7838 wireless router. Almost everytime I turn on the laptop it has no wireless connection. So I have to go to control panel, network connections and that he can find a new connection.

    I would then type the key to encryption WEP number twice to get a new connection.
    This is obviously a long procedure, so I need to get the laptop to recognize the encryption key and save it for the next time I turn on.

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 and a Norton Anti Virus and Firewall.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Hello

    I agree with Louis. Your WLAN cards support WPA encryption and, if possible, you should use it.

    Anyway: try to Setup WLAN to use Windows settings and set WEP password we remind for your WLAN. I have the set up on a lot of laptops different and after choosing the publicly traded WLAN password has already been set and the only thing that must be done is to click on the Connect button.

  • Equium M50-244 - SM Bus controller - all drivers available?

    Laptop bought with XP Home, but has been modified to work with XP Professional.

    Any suggestion where I could find this driver (s).

    This part of the chipset? or is it another device?

    Hello

    Equium M50-244 has a part number PSM59E-xxx.
    In this case you must use the correct driver.
    On the Toshiba page you will also find a statement of installation how to install the drivers.
    You must follow this guideline.

  • Equium M50-244 does not not to wake up on LAN

    A notebook Equium M50-244 does not meet the magic packet WOL.

    The BIOS settings are correct and show adapter LAN ENABLED, Wake on LAN: ENABLED.

    The sticker on the laptop and the original box gives a different MAC address to know what the device itself (ifconfig or lshw). No matter, the laptop does not account the magic packets for two MAC addresses.

    Using Wireshark, I see that the WOL packets are certainly diffuse with properly formatted MAC addresses.

    My thought is now that it is a BIOS problem but I can't find the right bios for this machine.

    What would be the best bios match? Keep in mind this box is Linux.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    See you soon

    Nick

    Hello

    Have you checked if the WOL is enabled in the network card settings?
    Do you know how to check this?

    Go to the Device Manager, expand network adapter s and mark LAN card.
    Then, go to the properties of the network adapter and check the Advanced tab.

    There are a lot of different settings and a configuration option must refer to the WOL.

  • To install a different graphics card on my Satellite A20

    Hello

    I want to install a different graphics card on my SA20 - S103.

    For the moment, it's the standard Trident card that is currently running.

    Is it possible to install a gforce or radeon chip?
    If so, what would be the best?

    Hello Stefan,

    Unfortunately, I don't think it will be possible to replace the graphics card Trident with another because it is an integrated design that uses shared RAM. Indeed, your graphics card has been designed to adapt to your laptop and would be virtually impossible to find a card that is similarly designed from another manufacturer.

    Unlike the desktop or tower where the graphics card is a separate device that can only be unplugged and replaced, the graphics chip of your laptop is usually built into the design in order to save space.

  • HP compaq dc5800 sff: install a new graphics card

    Hello

    I bought a 240 r7 radeon graphics card to upgrade my hp dc5800 sff, it is running on the q33 chipset from intel.

    How to install this new graphics card? I want to talk about the installation of the drivers, not the placement in the pc itself.

    I read somewhere that I first need to uninstall the drivers from the chipset, q33 before putting the card in my pc, is it true? If Yes, how should I do it OK?

    If not, can I just put it in the case, plug in my monitor inside and start the pc, then install the drivers from the disk?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is very rare that the removal of the existing video driver is necessary before installing a new video card. Most video card manufacturers do not understand such a suggestion with instructions to install a new video card.

    However, if you still believe that you must work Yes, so that you can go through the program and features Control Panel to remove the video driver only. You can also use Driversweeper to clean up the video driver.  However, before removing the Chuck, make sure you have the original drivers downloaded to your desktop so that you don't have to hunt for him later if necessary.

    The AMD R7 240 does not yet in your PC according to the level of brand, model and vBIOS in the graphics card.  In addition, check power supply required for the 240 R7 which, from what I've read is 400 watts.

    Under the control panel the controller USB has a yellow question mark on it. Can someone tell me please where to find the USB driver that is appropriate for it?

    The laptop uses the standard Microsoft Windows USB driver. On the Toshiba page you will find all the special USB drivers for WinXP.
    Have you used the recovery CD or did you install the OS of Microsoft CD?
    Possibly, you have not installed the chipset driver?
