Satellite 2430 - Question on upgrade graphics card
Can I update the graphics card from nvidia on the 128 MB model?
Hello
This topic has been discussed a lot of time in this forum. If you wish, you can use the advanced search to search for similar topics.
But now, you ask:
It is generally not possible to update the graphics card. The graphics card is a little chip that attaches to the motherboard. The technology of the laptop is very different as a desktop PC.
Well, the second reason is an overheating problem. A graphics card with a great performance produces more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.
Good bye

Questions about upgrading graphics card, P7-1235
I bought the P7-1235, who owns the AMD Radeon HD graphics card 7560. I read it as an integrated card, but I could add or update? The power supply is 300 Watts I think. Anyone know if I can do an update without changing the power supply? Is this useful? In addition to surfing the web and watching videos from You Tube, I have Sims games. I would like to start playing more casual games, nothing heavy.
Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion p7-1235. You are right in saying the the HD 7560 is integrated as part of the CPU.
Almost any card PCIe x 16 graphic detail that is more powerful than the existing HD 7560 will require the upgrade of electrical power to 400 watts to 600 watts unit. Exist it HD7560 must manage the Sims without problem, You Tube and surf the web. It should also handle most games 'casual' as well but shall be moved if you throw something hardcore. Operate the system as it is and if it works for you... well, if it's not... time for a new card and power supply.

can I upgrade graphics card on pavilion dm 4?
can I upgrade graphics card on pavilion dm 4?
Laptops are unlike desktop computers.
Desktop PC have an open architecture that make the relatively simple upgrade.
PC laptop and portable access to the e/s available and put at level of the slots through the doors of the inspection and often almost total disassembly.
Laptops are also limited by the BIOS and the physical attributes systemboard on the video modules and wireless can be used for upgrades.
A BIOS of the laptop has a white list of the modules that are acceptable. If a module wireless or video is not on the whitelist, then it cannot be used. If a notebook THAT BIOS found during the POST (power on self test) as a module not on the white list has been installed it will warn you and it won't start the laptop computer in the operating system installed.
If money is no object you can update the video through an exotic external graphics solution like Vidock Gfx.

Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrading video card
Hi guys, I have a laptop Satellite Pro A10 and I was wondering if anyone of you could help me.
I want to improve my Ram card memory and video. The video card now is an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller and want a graphics card with at least 128 MB of memory on this subject.
Any recommendation?
Any help would be appreciated muchly.Hello
It of not possible to change the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.
This graphics card supports up to 64 MB shared memory. The graphics card gets this value of main memory if it s needed.The possibility to upgrade the memory of this device is something different.
You can upgrade the memory to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) and these modules should work.
PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)Hope this will help a little.

Satellite 1900-303: Question about upgrade video card
I have satellite 1900 - 303 and want to somehow upgrade the video card. Is that someone has an idea that is possible or not and if yes how and where to buy a new one.
Thank youHi Galin,
It is generally not possible to update the graphics card in a notebook. They are generally adapted to fit the available space and also specially designed drivers that are specific to your model of laptop. It is also quite common for them to use the RAM shared rather than having their own chip RAM (although some later model specifications have dedicated for graphics RAM).
You can check in your advanced (from Control Panel) display options if you can adjust the RAM available for your graphics card.

Theoretically, you can pass the GPU if it is not integrated. However, Toshiba does not approve the Cpu/gpu upgrade:

Anyway, if you decide to update, contact center service before and ask them about Gpu compatibility.

Hi friend
Sorry I have to tell you that it s not possible to update your computer with a new graphics from the vga chip is embedded on the motherboard.
Almost ALL of the toshiba machines were "wired" so graphics card if you don t one machine of 30,000 dollars for weld and a LOT of know-how for reprogramming BIOS as the guys at toshiba @ Japan then take your thoughts on the upgrade of the VGA.
If I were you I would upgrade my RAM instead or if you really want to play games with your machine then you can order this thing:
