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

Jeroen

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.

    I just bought the 3 battle field, his does not work well. It told me that I have dedicated memory graphic need more, is it possible to change my graphics memory shared in dedicated graphics memory more since I got 0 in dedicated graphic memory right now.

    Hello

    Sorry to say, but you can't do that.  Dedicated memory is determined by the physical amount of chips of memory on the graphics card.

  • Upgrade memory 4 GB on Satellite A200-23W

    Hello
    I asked Toshiba service here in Greece upgrade memory than my A200 23W and they buy a 2 GB memory module (I noticed that there was no need for 2 because there was that one module in this topic but anyway...).

    I did and installed the new memory, but since than, in the information system, I can only see this:

    Name of the Microsoft® Windows Vista Home Premium operating system
    Version 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1 Build 6001
    Another Description of the OS is not available
    Manufacturer of operating system Microsoft Corporation

    2.01 GB available physical memory
    6.19 GB total virtual memory
    5.12 GB available virtual memory
    Page file space 3.29 GB

    So my question is WHY AVAILABLE PHYSICAL MEMORY IS STILL 2.01 GB? When I installed 4 GB and the system can see that only in theory.

    There is nothing wrong with your system. As you have already posted, windows displays your total amount of 4 GB of physical memory and the total physical memory to 3 GB.
    The part with the available memory is a thing of windows and displays how much memory is left for other programs, because windows needs some of them your own sound.

    So, if you want to use all of your 4 GB you will need to use a 64 bit version of Vista, because 32-bit versions are limited to a maximum size of 3, 29GB as already indicated your page file space.

    Hope this cleared some things now.

  • How to increase the memory shared on the Satellite 1800-700

    Hello

    Hello

    The upgrade of Ram maximum is good idea and I think that the performance of the laptop will be much better than before.

    Back to shared memory. As far as I know shared memory works automatically and there is no way to change it manually. More RAM unit allows use more of it for the chart. I'm afraid there is not much to do.

  • Satellite A100-692 - how to reduce graphic memory?

    Hello!
    I'm looking for information how to reduce graphic memory. I have Satellite A100-692, PSAA9E-09900QGR and install 1024Mo RAM but 512 MB is dedicated to graphics memory. Because of this I have 512 MB of RAM in real-time only.
    I would change it. Should be spend of only 256 MB memory graphics. I checked the BIOS (ver. 2.00) and graphic drivers and anywhere is option for memory graphic change.

    Please help how do.

    Hello

    You described your situation, but this seems very strange.
    As far as I know, the laptop uses a 128 MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1400 graphics card and this isn't a memory sheared graphics card!
    This card uses own 128 MB and must share main memory!

    I put t know why you suggested that you have only 512 MB.
    How did you test it?

    How do you assign more memory to the graphics card on laptop Satellite A200-1V0?
    Thank you

    Hello

    in your case it s not possible to change the size of graphics by yourself, memory as graphics memory in your machine is shared with main memory, so if you upgrade main memory and graphics memory should increase. But this question is governed by the chipset and the user has no influence on it.

  • RAM upgrade and Satellite A200 - 19K graphic card memory:

    Hi all

    The Satellite A200 - 19K came with 1024 MB memory system. It's only 2 cards of memory of 512 MB or just 1 memory card 1024Mo in the system of the laptop? I would like to add another a 1024 MB of RAM, is that the slot more be available?

    The second question is on the graphics card from NVIDIA. The product specification mentions the graphics adapter as below...

    Manufacturer: NVIDIAî
    type: NVIDIAî Geforcea? ¢ GB 7300 supporting Turbocachea? ¢ technology
    memory: 64 MB dedicated VRAM (up to 335 MB of total available graphics memory using Turbocachea? ¢ technology with 2 GB of system memory)
    memory type: DDR video RAM (resp. video RAM DDR and DDR system memory combined)
    connected bus: PCI Express 16 x

    My question is, after upgrade from 1024 MB to 2048 MB system memory, is that the card NVIDIA GeForce will be automatic upgrade from 64 MB to 256 MB for graphics memory?

    TAHNKS A LOT!

    Hello
    >, It's only 2 cards of memory of 512 MB or just 1 memory card 1024Mo in the system of the laptop
    I think that the laptop came with a module of memory 1 GB and the second Bank should be free.

    Now something about the graphics card.
    Well, the graphics card GeForce Go 7300 supports own graphics memory 256 MB (no shared memory!)
    But it also allows a dedicated memory.
    This amount of memory is variable and depends on the available main memory.

    I think that everything runs automatically and you will not need to change the settings to assign this memory dedicated after main memory upgrade

  • Satellite A200 - 14 d (PSAECE): how fast is the base & graphics card memory

    Hello, I would like to ask a question about Satellite A200 - 14 d (PSAECE - 3 004006G).

    In the specification, it says there r:
    Type: NVIDIA Geforcea? ¢ Go 7300 with TurboCache technology
    memory: 256 MB of VRAM dedicated (up to 527 MB of total available graphics memory using Turbocachea? ¢ technology with 2 GB of system memory)
    memory type: DDR video RAM (resp. video RAM DDR and DDR system memory combined)

    I would like to ask what is the basic and the memory of this video card speed and is not a bad thing that there only DDR ram?

    There is also another laptop, with VIDIAA® Geforcea® 7300 Go with 256 MB of Turbocachea? ¢ technology (64 MB of VRAM) dedicated GDDR2 and 192 MB shared system memoirs.

    WHAT IS THE BEST? or do I have to look any further for a better?
    I would like to buy a laptop and you would help me a lot to choose from. Thank you.

    Hello

    I would say that the first one is the best, you have more available videoram and it could be extended much more then the other.
    But if you can accept such machine, then wait a little, because the new generation of portable computers equipped with the platform "santa rosa" are coming,
    who have a better and better chipset integrated graphics cards.

    I can give you a good indication for the moment, but you can perform a search in google for "santa rosa toshiba", so you will probably find something.

  • Satellite A200-1YX - what is the maximum of the available graphics memory?

    Hello

    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.

  • 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.

    Good bye
