Increase the video memory of the A40-211

Hi all

I have the Satellite A40-211. The Intel chipset also supports all of the graphical stuff, so he needs a little more memory RAM as video memory. This is possible up to a maximum of 64 MB. The problem is that the chipset is now using a maximum of 16 MB of video memory, but I want to expand this to 64 MB.

Where can I find the settings for this in Windows XP Home Edition?

Thanks for all the help!

Bart

Hi, it s not possible to increase the video memory yourself!

Let me tell you that your laptop is a dynamic memory management

Your computer system reserved graphic only as much memory as it needs to accomplish all tasks running on your A40.

.. dynamic video sharing .This is not bad, as I think!

More info on your graphics chip basic find on pages of Intel.

good evening...

    Hi........

    My labtop is TOSHIBA L50-B940 with 8 GB RAM and AMD radeom with windows 8.1 graphics card, 64-bit

    the problem is that the dedicated video memory is 0MB and I could not increase it

    I asked my friends a guy TI and nobody could help me and I tried to increase it from the BIOS as my friend but my bios setting is limited, so I ask you to help me solve this problem, I can't play for example: unit of creed Assassin before solving this problem

    and please teach me how to solve this problem step by step

    Thank you

    Hi Sami

    As far as I know it works automatically and there is no option where you can set it manually.
    This option does not exist in the BIOS.

    You know it's always a problem with portable machines. Video more power means more heat and due to a specific design and cooling system which can be very risky for the portable machine etc. is all this a little... different.

  • Satellite L845D - how to increase shared video memory (AMD APU)

    I have a 512 MB to 1 GB, but I have no option in the BIOS. In desktop APU systems, it is possible, since there is an option in the BIOS. Should I kind of updated, unlocked or BIOS 'hacked '?

    Thanks in advance

    BIOS hacked?
    Forget buddy... don't even think about BIOS hacks... something like that (if possible) would be detrimental to your unit... certainly...

    Shared memory cannot be increased manually... it is controlled by the graphics driver and especially depends on the main memory... in some cases, the shared memory will increase after RAM upgrade...

    [[email protected]], thank you.

    As far as I know the video memory is dedicated. What you can change is shared system memory for more available total graphics memory.
    Best way to proceed is to use max RAM and install the 64-bit operating system.

  • Increase dedicated video RAM on a HP Pavilion P6 2133W

    Hello, I need to know how to increase dedicated video memory, so I can play games that require a dedicated beyond 1 GB video memory. My current dedicated video RAM is 512 MB, my total video RAM is 4096 MB (4 GB).

    Data sheet:

    HP Pavilion P6-2133W

    AMD Vision A6 Quad Core processor at 2.20 GHZ

    AMD Radeon HD 6530d

    Upgrade to 64 bit Windows 8 Pro

    Hello:

    Unfortunately, there is no way to change the amount of video RAM.  It is what it is.

    If you need more video horsepower, you can look into the purchase of a dedicated video card of PCIe x 16 with 1 GB or more of memory for your PC that works with your PC power.

  • Satellite A40-211: RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is inconsistent

    Hello

    I bought a functioning Satellite A40 - 211 of one of my friends, who had a defective model A60 from where I took the fast hard drive, the memoryupgrade and the internal wifi card, but the only annoying on the A40-211 new thingie is the message that the RTC battery is low or CMOS is incompatible whenever the laptop is turned off and turned on again (which also happens when a warm reboot is done)

    After checking the laptop for any other problem (there was none), I decided to replace the RTC battery with a new... about 17,-euros in total cost. (Of the disassemble the whole laptop, but it has more than once 100 or so with other models, takes 15 minutes to disassemble and put them all back again once)
    Did charge it new CCF to power the laptop up and leave it for at least 24 hours... (the manual says to do)

    No results... always the same... boring message.

    I also tried to reflash the bios, but the version 1.50 seems ok and cannot be replaced by the programming software.

    So, we have a good laptop to work here, but with an annoying message that cannot be solved?

    Anyone with a good tip?

    OK, a response to myself, because I've been tracking something here...

    I replaced the hard drive to another laptop (Satellite A60 series) to the A40-211... installing Windows could be transferred, since the IDE controllers are the same... then just install some other vga - and sounddrivers to operate...

    But... somehow with the new hard drive and therefore installation, date/time settings are lost after a restart or power off...
    I also discovered that the installation of 'old' will not go into sleep - or standbymode... it will only close...

    Then. I'll make a recovery disk hard 'new' facility, because it is faster than the original that came with the A40.

    I'll keep things updated here... also because this isn't a real solution to the question...

    Now, the question is: what makes the time/date setting go lost after this laptop with a non-on-this-laptop-installed-OS off the power?

  • 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.

  • How can I increase the video memory dedicated Satellite C660?

    Hello

    I'm on a Toshiba Satellite C660 and I was wondering if it was possible to increase the minimum 64 MB dedicated video memory. I've got 1696 MB total available graphics memory and 8gbs of RAM.
    I have had a look in the BIOS settings but couldn't find something useful.

    Thanks in advance guys.

    Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it. There is not an option where you can change it manually. It works automatically.

    With more RAM, more memory will be used for graphical operations.
