Re: Satellite A210 - 11 p: how to change the GPU shared memory

Hi all,
I recently bought this laptop with 2 GB of memory.
I just bought 4 GB of Crucial, after doing the scan and it recommends the right Ram purchase.

I installed it and when check in information system's watch than 3.3 GB.
Now that I'm confused because according to this specification on blocks:

«Graphic adapter: memory: 256 MB of VRAM dedicated (up to 1,023 MB memory graphics available using technology HyperMemory with 2 GB of system memory total) "»

It seems that the graphics adapter card has took a little of my memory of the system.
How can I change the settings so that it used only 256 MB or just a little more? I can't find a way to Vista.

Ta

* waves *.

Please check this Toshiba document on this subject of 3.3 GB memory.
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7601WE0007R01.htm

The windows and the BIOS cannot recognize all of the 4 GB due to the limitation of the 32-bit system.
System resources need of addressing which overlaps physical memory below 4 GB.
These requirements can reduce available addressable memory space to and reported by the operating system

The GPU sharing only 256 MB.

PS: I read somewhere on the net that the new Vista SP1 which is officially available in 2008 has solved the problem with limitation of 32-bit system

Best regards

    Let's say I help you with this and damage you something or broke a plastic part, what you will do in this case?
    I mean you probably know that you can get a few small important parts as separate components.

    By the way: this description may be provided in the manual. Disassembly of the laptop is authorized personal only. When you buy a new car it is no description how to disassemble the entire engine, right?

    By the way: Jeanine's right. See this page. There are many useful tips on laptop disassembly procedure.

  • Satellite A210-128: I want to change the 320 GB HARD drive 7200 RPM

    Hallo all

    Can someoane help me with this little problem?
    I have a portable satellite A210-128 with a hard drive of 250 G 4200 RPM (* slowest *)... I want to change the hard drive with a hdd 2.5 "Western Digital 320 G 7200 RPM (* speed *).

    Question:
    1. If I buy a disk sata2 hard can I put on my laptop because my A210-128 has a disk sata hard?

    2 can I I install vista on this new hard drive on my vista dvd, im asking this because I want to be shor that my recovery dvd * RECOGNIZES THE NEW HARD drive * and I can install a new copy of windows or installing dvd can * only works with disk drives hard toshiba *... ???

    Thank you.

    As to the question;

    (1) I think a SATA2 HARD drive would go because the standard SATA2 is compatible to the bottom. But I assume that the system will operate as a good HDD SATA.

    (2) Yes, you can install vista using the Toshiba Recovery DVD. It shouldn't be a problem with a fresh install

  • Satellite P300 - 1DT PSPCCE - how to change the keyboard

    Hello

    I am looking for documentation of disassembly for my laptop.
    I need to change the keyboard. I have 2 letters that are broken.

    Thanks a lot

    Clickservce

    Hello

    Disassembly guides are not for the public, you can download the manual on the official website of Toshiba. I've never seen there other documentation.

    In any case, exchange of keyboard should not be complicated. Just remove the keyboard between the speakers and the keyboard stand. After that, you can lift the keyboard itself but be careful with the keyboard under the keyboard cable. You must remove it also.

    Good luck! :)

  • How to change the maximum virtual memory

    Hi, I use a laptop 1.8 GHz, 512 MB of tevra m2.
    normally used for office work and not for games,
    BitDefender Antivirus consumes a lot of memory, so be careful about the use of memory.
    so I was wondering if anyone knows how to set up the best of 'virtual memory': min and max: about 1.5 to 2 times the size of RAM?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Please go to:

    Properties - "Advanced" tab - control panel in the button 'Edit' performance zone - tab "Advanced"

    You will find the virtual memory settings.
    I recommend you set the settings of "size of system managed". In this case the OS will control the value automatically.

  • How to change the GPU for notebook Alienware?

    I bought an Alienware Laptop since 12/2014. It has the Nvidia GTX860m 2 GB. Can I change? Because now it looks a little too old for the newest games.

    Any updates for your laptop is not void the warranty. It just will not be covered by the warranty.

    Here's the Alienware tested GPU you can upgrade.

    • GTX 770 m
    • GTX 780 m
    • R9 m290x
    • GTX 880 m

    Here are some community tested GPU that requires more than a simple swap-and-play.

    • GTX 970 m
    • GTX 980 m

    I suggest go at notebookreview forum if you are considering getting a series of 900 m GTX GPU. The full manual, found on the Dell support site, gives you detailed instructions on concealment and re-Assembly of the laptop. No need to contact Dell.

    Hello

    you mean the gamma settings? I don't know if the ati drivers are able to do, but you can try the program "powerstrip" (www.download.com/PowerStrip/3000-2086_4-10395724.html), which can change the color and the parameter gamma for graphics cards.

    Just give it a try and you will get your favorite color settings. :)
