Graphics memory ATI 128 MB to 256 MB on Satellite L20

Hello
It is possible increase graphics memory ATI 128 MB to 256 MB on my Satellite L20 182?
Maybe upgrade the BIOS?

Hello

I presume that you laptop uses a shared memory graphics card that supports the memory of 32 MB to 128 MB. The graphics card shares memory with the main memory of the laptop.
Unfortunately, it s a physical limitation and it s not possible to use more than 128 MB

Update the BIOS or a driver update will help

    The satellite A110-276 supports an Intel graphic chip 945GM!
    Intel graphics cards affect the automatically shared memory! The graphics driver controls the memory, and you can not manually set the amount!

    I have a 1YX Satellite A200 with an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator on WIndows XP 32.

    On the Toshiba website says (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&DISC_MODEL=0 & ACTION = PRINT_WITH_BACK & com decided .do w .broadvision = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 144755) as my maximum graphics memory is up to 358 with 2 GB of RAM but in my DirectX says that my maximum graphics memory is 128, and I have 4 GB of RAM.

    How can I increase it? I have the latest drivers.

    Hello

    The video RAM will be automatically assigned and t, you can change it. This means that if the system is in need of video RAM more then it will be automatically assigned more video RAM.

    But I put t understand why you need more like video 128 MB of RAM. I think that's enough, because the graphics chip isn't designed for games.
    There are maps better graphics in the games market.

  • ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 256 MB of diamond graphics card driver incompatibility

    ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 128 bit 256 MB DDR graphics card

    ==============================================================================================================================

    I have this card installed on my desktop PC, it's Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, without a driver, it is standerd VGA display. However to test, what I've done is put the disc that came with the graphics card, looked for the graphics card ATI Radeon Catalyst configuration, then went to properties on it and set it to 32-bit of Windows XP and installed compatibility mode, but he wouldn't let not Catalyst Control Center start no matter what I tried , but he did install normally, also installed the pilot display and is the main display now, but when you restart the PC I get a blue screen that disappears in 2 seconds then stops, and you only have to start Windows normally then.

    Reason, you should switch to compatibility mode for installation is because the graphics card is not compatible DirectX 11, but instead, 8.1 or same 9.0 c, which is Windows XP, of course, so it would be best to go back to Windows XP and have all the features of this graphics card or a newer get one that is no longer compatible with Windows 7 because it just does not work except if you want to use the method that I just explained before =)

    Good luck

    Hello

    ATI Radeon 9250 graphics card is not compatible with the Windows 7 operating system. Since you've already tried to install in compatibility mode, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

    You can also see the following article on how to install the ATI drivers.

    http://support.AMD.com/us/KbArticles/pages/737-20870HowtoInstallYourATIProduct.aspx

    By the Windows 7 Compatibility Center, the ATI Radeon 9250 DDR is compatible for both 32 and 64-bit Windows 7 with no additional downloads.

    How can I change the graphics memory from 8 MB to 128 MB? I have tired to adjust it by the BIOS but cannot find it there!

    As far as I know on laptops with Intel (shared memory) graphics card, it is not possible. It is controlled automatically. For more graphics memory, you must use more RAM.

  • Satellite P305-8915 - how to increase the graphics memory of ATI Radeon 3650?

    Hello

    In the specification of [Toshiba P305-8915 | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2234100& rpn = PSPCCU & modelFilter = & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 10 73768663] I saw grapich memory could be changed, but my question is how to do this? I have search and I can not find it.

    Ideas to change the graphics memory?

    As far as I know shared memory cannot be set by the laptop user. It depends on the RAM upgrade. With more RAM, graphics card will use more memory for the graphics operation.

    As you can see in the specs that your laptop can be upgraded up to 8 GB of RAM.

    You described your situation, but this seems very strange.

  • Graphics memory shared in a Satellite A200-1CK

    Hello, I have a Satellite A200-1CK which has 2 GB of RAM and 256 MB graphics memory shared.

    is there a way to check how my phone is currently using this 256 MB and you can manually change this?

    for example, to define graphics for always using 128 MB memory if the laptop needs or not?

    I already checked with google and I found a few sites that say you can change something like that in the BIOS but I can't find.

    Thank you

    Hello

    When I try to play a game that requires 128 MB graphic memory it does not even start. In theory I should be able to play the game, since I have enough memory. Or is it fake? Shared memory is perhaps not as real graphic memory. Can someone explain?

    There are different reasons why starting a game doesn t.
    Maybe a graphics driver is not compatible?
    Generally shared memory graphics cards are not really designed for games. Of course, some older games would go but with the games recent very strong graphics cards needs.

    I agree with alphaleader. Shared memory will be allocated automatically. She shared max value depends on the amount of installed RAM memory.

  • Tecra A3 - 106 Intel Graphics memory Question (915GM)

    Hello, no doubt this will be a strange question, but please accept my apologies, I can't understand it well...

    I have a Toshiba Tecra A3 106 with 915GME 128 MB Intel graphics card... He used to appear as a memory of 128 MB on my system, and somehow, it is now limited to 64 MB probably after update my drivers or a change to the settings of this unit, somewhere...

    I recently updated my bios to v.2.50, could this be the reason? or the most recent driver for the game? (I am currently on 6.14.10.4543)

    I know that I must be blind I can't find the setting for this... But I need your help...

    Thanks in advance...
    Onur.

    EDIT: I realized that it is a thing of BIOS 90%... Phoenix BIOS 2.50 does NOT contain an option to change the graphic committed memory size of 64 MB to 128 or vice versa... My previous BIOS was this option in the tab "Advanced"... And... I can't downgrade to the previous version as installer does not support the downgrade... PS: I checked the Windows settings this topic... Not found no apparent solution...

    Edit2: Found this link about the question on the Toshiba site: http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1079 556xml & sliceId = & dialogid = 1150837 & stateId = 0% 200% 201 152026

    Obviously, this is a bug in the BIOS and the source suggests that v1.70 and newer versions are fixed... I REALLY DON'T THINK!

    ANY IDEAS TO GET AROUND THIS?

    Hello Onur

    The link you posted from TOSHIBA U.S. page and I assume that you have a European model of laptop. If you want to update BIOS please use Toshiba European page. The United States from Toshiba is like another firma and it isn't really the same thing.

    If models of laptop computers in the United States some problem it doesn? t means that all Toshiba laptops have the same problem.

    I checked that your model of laptop shared graphics memory card. I guess you know what that means and the fact is that units with Intel graphics card have no parameters where user can manually set the amount of memory must be used. On ATI graphics cards settings it is possible. I checked a few notebooks similar and in the Phoenix BIOS I didn? t find anything. Because of this, I'm really confused when you mean that this option was available on the ADVANCED tab.

    I really hope that someone who have the same unit as you can give us a good info about it.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A200 - how to increase the graphics memory?

    Hi, another question.

    I am unsing an A200-1CC, it's an Intel 945 Express Chipset Family settled. I tried to install a game that requires memory graph 256Motets. I received an error message "Shadow Pixel 1.1" maybe not supproted... and the page the maanufactured FAQ told me be sure to habe 256 MB in use.

    The A200-1CC has a 1024 MB of RAM and uses only a little over 100 MB memory graphics. I have check the Intel web page. My 945 Chipset supports Pixel of the shadow; and memory maximum grpahics used in 256 MB. So I increased my mother-2048 MB memory card today. However; It shows still 122 MB graphics memory in use. Page intel says that sometimes you can adjust the DMTV in bios, but that does not apply to my system.

    Any chance to get used to 256 MB graphics memory? -I use a Vista system...?

    Thanks in advance for any idea you may have.

    ;-) Ingo

    Hello!

    No, you can increase the video RAM and there is no option to change this.
    The video RAM will be assigned automatically, but you can t change that.

    I know this good news of aren t but in my opinion the Intel graphic card is not designed for games. An nVidia or ATI card graphics would be a better solution for the game.

    SHARED SYSTEM MEMORY: 1632 MB

    Is is possible to increase the DEDICATED VIDEO MEMORY to 128 or 256 MB?

    Hello

    I don't think so. I think dedicated memory means physical memory available for this card. When running applications, system then shares some of his memory for graphics work. Change in the BIOS maybe wrong the situation but I think no option in the BIOS of your machine and almost all HP laptops.

    I think it's your mistake. Graphics memory you will have if you use more RAM. As far as I know use this device comes with 512 MB of RAM, but you can improve it up to 4 GB.

    Hello

    According to specification for laptop, your laptop has Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with 128 MB - 1342 MB dynamically allocated shared graphics memory. This cards don t have some sort of control of memory where laptop user can set how much memory will be used for graphical operations.

    If you want to offer more memory for the graphics, you need to upgrade RAM but I think that 4 GB of RAM you should have now is maximum RAM that can be used on your model of laptop.
