Re: Satellite A300: how to spend the video memory

Hi I was checking methods on how to do a little more my graphics card work and people told me to devote some memory to my video.
Here are my settings right now:

total graphics memory: 358 MB
* dedicated video memory: 0 MB *.
video memory: 128
shared system memory: 230

while I was looking for a solution on how to do this and I found this:

but I can't go to this menu,

Help, please
Nathan

PS. do you think that graphics card is good enough to play new games? (eg. cod5, far cry 2, etc.)

Hi Nathan

You cannot change the value of the video memory manually. It is not possible.
Everything is controlled by the graphics driver and AutoPlay.

As Akuma suggested memory graphics cards increases during the upgrade of RAM.
More RAM value more the memory of the graphics card shared.

    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.

    This old laptop has a graphics card with shared memory. In other words, when you have more RAM inside more memory will be used for graphical operations. According to the specifications of the laptop this old notebook was shipped with 128 MB of RAM, but can be improved up to 512 MB.

    I am grateful for!

    Hello

    the machine cannot tell what size memory it should use. He has the ability to use 128 MB. But he will not use memory that is really necessary. So if you don't play games 3D or something like that, you don't need as much memory video.

  • How to increase the video memory on Portege Z830 - 11 M?

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Portege Z830 - 11M. I want to increase the video memory.
    I don't know if it's possible and how to do it. I tried to open the bios by pressing the F2 key (as in the product specifications, I received with my laptop) and I arrived at the Toshiba help settings. The ESC and F1 keys open the Windows startup settings. If anyone can help me, please advice.

    Thank you very much.

    Hi Mishal

    In general the Portégé Z830 - 11 M is designed to escort us in usual daily activities such as sending mail, Office Automation and communication internet and feature thin and lightweight design allows us to take it anywhere.

    Hardware configuration has limited the performance of course, but at the same time offer excellent multitasking and long battery life. As far as I know on this machine you will not find any option to increase the performance of the GPU and everything that it works automatically.

    According to some feedback non demanding games should be playable with this graphics card too.
    I can't imagine that you want to play games with this machine so I would like to know what it is to ask about the graphics performance more.

    Hello just curious if anyone knows how I can increase the video memory on my new yoga 900. I looked at the bios screen, and I don't see an option to change it. Thanks in advance.

    The amount of memory used by the integrated video controller depends on the total system memory, and is controlled system (vs user).

  • HP Pavilion g7-1219wm how to increase the video memory.

    Hello

    Question is simple. but the answer is impossible as HP make it harder for us to be able to take advantage of its total capacity on the products that we buy from them.

    was announce on this computer laptop specifications that the video memory can be up to 1973 MB.

    memory dedicated only 384 MB and can not be change, why shops you can use up to 1973 MB. Which for me is false adverticement other wise, they explain how you can get this amount of RAM.

    If some now knows it please explain and post in this forum.

    Thank you

    Jred452

    Hello:

    In fact, the answer is simple.

    Change video memory cannot be done by any means by the user.

    Video memory mapping is automatically assigned.

    The announced video memory is correct if the video card has to use the shared PC system memory.

    Go to your windows experience index window and click on the detailed report.

    It will show you how many dedicated graphic memory it is, it is the amount of system memory dedicated (normally the zero with a discreet graphics card) and the amount of system memory is available for the video card.

    This is whence your 'until 1973 Mo"- additional system memory that can be automatically assigned to the video card if necessary.

  • How to adjust the video memory on Satellite A100-811

    The physical memory of my laptop is 512 MB, I want to share my 128 MB videocard, nomatter if 384 will remain in my physical memory.

    Your immediate response is much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    the Satellite A100 supports an Intel 945GM processor 8MB - 128 MB of graphics memory shared memory, it's true. But
    as far as I know it of not possible to allocate this memory shared manually, it happens automatically.

    If the application running more graphic must map memory then the OS will be automatically increases this value.

    It seems that this laptop came with 512 MB of memory. In my opinion you must upgrade the memory of 1024MB if you want to use the full 128 MB shared memory.

  • Satellite A300 - how to recover the operating system without a recovery disk?

    First of all, sorry for my very bad English.

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300, PC 9 months ago. I had problems with a virus and result is that despite clean-up and disinfection, the computer is still infected and I refused access to the hard drives and regedit.

    I thought restoring the operating system factory preinstaled (hopefully, this is the solution and not the formatting) and Barrie told me to check out http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    I did it, but the PC it's imposible because there is no files. I don't have a rescue CD (if newbee).

    What can I do?

    Hello

    Usually the A300 (European series) has been equipped with HARD drive recovery option which would be you allows to recover the laptop using the files on the HARD drive. But if this is not possible while something went wrong with the maybe HDD it s due to the infection by the virus

    In any case if you are not able to recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive you need the recovery disc.
    You can order it as suggested by resident on the other hand, you can use the MS Windows Vista disk and can download driver Toshiba page.

  • Re: Satellite A300 - how to restore the original condition?

    Hello

    My computer freezes for a second or 2 from time to time and Toshiba support told me it might be a software problem. I don't think, because he began the day I bought the laptop and the display driver keeps on the work stoppage, but because I said that if it's a software problem.
    I would have to pay for it, I want to try everything before sending it for repair. This is why I would like to restore my Satellite in its original state as he was just at the moment where I bought it.

    So basically I have 2 questions:

    1 - does anyone have any idea why it keeps freezing on me? And what I should try to do to fix it?
    2. can someone tell me how to restore the laptop to its original state?

    Thank you very much Dina

    Hello

    To determine if it of a software problem or not, you need to restore the factory setting and if it doesn't work you can go to an authorized service provider. They can repair the laptop for you.

    The factory settings can be restored with the Toshiba recovery disc. I guess that your laptop has been delivered with Windows Vista, if you have options to restore factory settings: the Toshiba disk recovery or HARD drive recovery service.

    HARD drive recovery function formats the first partition of your laptop and install Vista again with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. It is an image that is stored on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder HDDRecovery.
    If you go into the advanced with F8 boot menu after you start the computer, you can start this feature of Toshiba. And then select Repair my computer and some Windows files will be loaded. Then, you can choose the function to drive HARD Toshiba Recovery and follow the instructions on the screen.

    The Toshiba Recovery disk, you must create first, or have you done this yet? Normally, you get a reminder of recovery message after the first start of the laptop that you must burn this disc. Therefore, you must the preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and the image in the folder in HARD drive recovery will be burned on the disc. Then you have a startup disk that can restore the factory settings and HARD whole disc formats then back up your data first!
    The recovery disk is necessary if you have a new HDD or Windows start doesn t. Otherwise, you can use HARD drive recovery.

    I hope I could help a bit and now you understand how to restore the factory settings.
    If you have any other questions, please let us know! :)

  • Satellite L300-129 - how to increase the video memory (shared)

    Yesterday I bought TOSHIBA Satellite L300-129

    AND I WANT TO ASK SOMETHING:

    I want to share some memory to improve the proceedings of VGA card.
    I know that I need to do from the CONFIGURATION of the BACK but I can't and I need to improve my VGA card because the default is so so small... I want to give him some PART of MEMORY (RAM) SYSTEM

    PLEASE I NEED HELP

    THANK YOU GUYS;

    Hey Buddy

    Unfortunately, I doubt that you can allocate a portion of system memory to video memory manually. AFAIK this sharing process is controlled by the driver for graphics card and all run automatically.

    On the other hand the graphics card driver could assign more memory for video card if the system memory could be upgraded.
    In other words the higher system RAM superior video RAM.
