IdeaPad S12 BIOS based Intel

Hello

I saw there is a update of the BIOS for a VIA based S12, which allows support for 3 GB of RAM. Is based on the Intel S12 theoretically support more than 2 GB of RAM, and are there plans to release the update of the BIOS for this?

Thank you

Hello and welcome...

Due wired hardware Intel Chipset limitation has no way of upgrading more than 2 GB of memory...

There will be no. BIOSUPDATE ever, with a characteristic that break the boundary of 2 GB...

  • After BIOS update Intel speed step does not not on Satellite A500

    I upgraded my Satellite A500 PSAM3E model to the most recent BIOS 1.50, now the Intel speed step does not!

    My CPU is always 2 GHz +, I have chagned power Plan to balanced, but no change... with precedent the CPU was about 800 MHz.
    When I try to change the Windows 7 power management and set the maximum CPU at 50 or 80% performance, the system hangs.

    Hey Szaby59,

    What older BIOS version were you using before update to 1.50?

    I also use maximum CPU performance option for ecomode (50%), but it does not work properly.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if use you your own Windows installation or factory settings. Normally, after using the Toshiba Recovery disk you don t have install Toshiba tools more. Everything is preinstalled on your laptop.

  • Satellite X 200-how to find the configuration of the BIOS for Intel Matrix Storage?

    Hello world

    I'm ready to activate the feature Matrix Storage on my Satellite X 200 - 24 X. The problem is that I can't find any relevant option in the BIOS setup...
    Thank you!

    Hello

    Intel Storage Manager is a pilot and not an option in the BIOS. The only option you have in the BIOS is the mode of access to the HARD drive. There you can change between AHCI and Compatible.

    For AHCI mode which is faster, you need Intel Storage Manager driver. For the Compatible mode, you n t need additional drivers.

    Want to know how to install Storage Manager? Just use the forum search, you will find hundreds of results. ;)

  • Satellite Pro A300 - should it BIOS for Intel virtualization technology?

    Hi all.

    Any Satellite Pro A300 has BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
    It is mentioned on this page: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/easyguard2008/EN/manageability.aspx

    I have A300-01:00 (regular Satellite, not Pro), but its T5850 has not VT is supported, so there is no option in the BIOS. Wonder what is the difference between Satellite and Satellite Pro BIOS and can I try to use Satellite Pro A300 BIOS for my A300-01:00. Of course, I'm afraid I can't :(

    Thank you, Andy

    Hello Andy

    As far as I know the BIOS is not a universal startup program and is suitable for specific hardware architecture. Because of this Toshiba doesn t offer a BIOS for several models of laptops.

    If your laptop doesn't have virtualization option then there is nothing to do. Updating the BIOS will not help any.

  • Satellite A300 - 15 d - must BIOS for Intel virtualization technology?

    Hi all.

    Satellite A300 - 15A has the BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
    He has a capable T9300 processor for virtualization technology, so it is logical that its BIOS should have this option.
    (I have A300-01:00, but its T5850 have VT is supported, so there is no option in the BIOS)

    Thank you, Andy

    > Satellite A300 - 15A has BIOS option to enable or disable the Intel virtualization technology?
    Have you checked all BIOS options? I mean, why ask you? Use the F2 key to enter the BIOS settings and check all the options available on the Advanced tab.

    For example: my Satellite A300-1LI has Intel Virtualization Technology option.

  • Looking to buy a Lenovo IdeaPad S12 (29595GU)

    Hello.  I am looking to buy a netbook, and from what I can tell the Lenovo S12 is the best with his 12 inch screen, QS OS, nVidia ION, HDMI output, 3 GB of RAM and 320 HARD drive.  The only problem I have is that it is just expensive for me right now.  Is there anyway that he will drop in price after Christmas, or when the ION2 comes out?

    Also, I have a few questions:

    -How to use the button 'recovery' on the keyboard?  The system already has back up when shipped and simply press the button, or you have to make your own?

    -If I had to go with the cheaper version with 2 GB of RAM and 250 GB of HARD drive, and later, I wanted to move to 3 GB of RAM then I should buy another 1 GB or 2 GB key?

    -What software comes pre-installed?

    Hello and welcome,
    last question at first... not heard talking about overheating seems to be cool...

    .. No HDMI output no video input...

    colors other than black?  NA not know what is provided by Lenovo...

    pre installed, I think that like most of the other S-series
    MS Office Trial, Adobe Suite trial, Norton...

    Correct me if iam wrong...

    Backup solution?  HARD drive based...

    I prefer this Solution to backup ...

    Memory?

    comes with 1 GB (non-removable) soldered on board more 1 GB removable memory = 2 GB
    upgrade to 3GB mem, easy... Open the lower cover, remove 1 GB...

  • Battery problem (CPU a bottleneck) with BIOS and Intel SpeedStep technology.

    The question is this:

    1. If the AC adapter and the battery are both connected on the X201T, the speed of the CPU (base clock) is capable of running at the maximum speed of 2.13 GHz as indicated by the specifications of the system.
    2. If only the battery is connected, the speed of the CPU is still able to run at maximum speed of 2.13 GHz as indicated by the specifications of the system.
    3. If only the AC adapter is plugged in, the speed of the CPU is now 'limited' and can run only at 1.2 GHz.
    4 in addition, I also ran Windows Experience Index assessment (built-in to Windows 7) and received a score of 6.3 with the battery or the AC adapter is plugged in, but only a score of 4.2 with only the AC adapter.
    5. the system is significantly slower and cursor shifts are more noticeable when the battery is disconnected.

    Control Panel:
    A.the system has been set at maximum Performance with all the power saving settings turned off. The system has been fully updated for the latest updates and possible drivers from 12/03/10 at the time of the breathalyzer test.  No other software is installed that came with the ThinkPad when I received it.
    B. with the connection and disconnection of the battery, the system has been individually disabled every time and restarted.
    C. I ran full system Test and system through Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox stress Test and received no errors to ensure that the question was not due to system errors.
    D. I used CPU - Z 1.56 v to monitor the speed of the CPU, all running Intel BurnTest v2.50 to insist on the system.
    E. the problem is reproducible and probably a system wide problem/bug, because I tested it on two my X201T (I know it's weird, but I have two of these amazing machines).

    Update:

    After further testing, I've isolated the problem of "Bottleneck the CPU processor without battery" occurs only when the technology Intel SpeedStep in BIOS is enabled. Only when the SpeedStep technology option is cleared "completely", this problem will not occur. However, if the SpeedStep technology is enabled, even when the AC is set on maximum Performance, the CPU processor speed is limited when the battery is disconnected with the tablet running only on the AC adapter. This seems to be a bug in the BIOS.

    If someone can communicate this problem Lenovo Engineering Department so that they can arrive at a solution, that would be great and very helpful. So I can work on my system without always having the battery plugged.

    There are 2 solutions for that.

    You spend more money for a 90W power adapter (which I did), then you can disconnect the battery and it will run at full speed.

    Or, you go into the BIOS and turn off IntelSpeedStep.

    Unfortunately, without the battery, when only using the 65W adapter, your speed will be throttled (I think it's a mistake on the end of Lenovo, but they claim it's normal).

  • LOST ON MY IDEAPAD Y560P BIOS PASSWORD... Help, please

    HELLO GUYS, I AM DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR HELP, I GAVE A LAPTOP REACENTLY AND JUST DISCOVERED BIOS IS LOCK, I TRIED TO CALL SUPORT BUT THEY ASK FOR PROOF OF PURCHASE WHICH I DID NOT, BECAUSE IT WAS GIVEN, PLEASE IF ANY BODY CAN HELP ME ON HOW TO RESET I TRULLY ENJOY THIS GUY... Help, please

    Welcome to the community.

    Sorry, you have problems.

    From your post, 'BIOS IS LOCKED', it seems that there is a supervisor password set. There is no discount to zero/workaround for a lost password supervidsor.

    The best advice is to talk with the person who gave you the laptop to try to obtain the password. In addition, the only authorized here discussion about the subject is contained in the manual of your equipment:
    http://download.Lenovo.com/userfiles/Userguide/en/user%27s%20guides%20and%20Manuals/Y560/Lenovo%20Id...
    Please see the section on page 24 of the manual.
