Satellite A100-692 - how to reduce graphic memory?

Hello!
I'm looking for information how to reduce graphic memory. I have Satellite A100-692, PSAA9E-09900QGR and install 1024Mo RAM but 512 MB is dedicated to graphics memory. Because of this I have 512 MB of RAM in real-time only.
I would change it. Should be spend of only 256 MB memory graphics. I checked the BIOS (ver. 2.00) and graphic drivers and anywhere is option for memory graphic change.

Please help how do.

Hello

You described your situation, but this seems very strange.
As far as I know, the laptop uses a 128 MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1400 graphics card and this isn't a memory sheared graphics card!
This card uses own 128 MB and must share main memory!

I put t know why you suggested that you have only 512 MB.
How did you test it?

    Hello

    the device DVD/combined my A100-692 is damaged and I want to replace it.
    I found no still no guide how to replace the unit.

    Is there something available?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello!

    AFAIK, you must remove the keyboard first, before you can replace the CD/DVD drive. Remove the screws on the lower side, and then you can push the disc if you have replaced the keyboard.
    It seems to be a bit tricky

    Maybe you should ask a technician for laptop to help. They can replace the CD/DVD drive for you.

  • Satellite A100 - 692 PSAA9E: what is the max memory

    Can someone tell me how I can put in my book "A100-692 PSAA9E" memory?

    On the Internet there are pages which provide that 4 GB is the maximum amount of memory, whereas the manual says that 2 GB is max amount (the manual seems to be made for a group of individual booklets and also indicates
    my laptop should have a GForce but there a GFX ATI card).

    If 4 GB is the maximum amount, can I go with the memory following constellation? :

    2GB Stick Port 1
    512 MB key Port 2

    Also can I use Ram DDR2 - 667 Mhz instead of 533 Mhz Ram and or a mixture thereof?

    Concerning

    R4DIUM

    This chipset is the Satellite A100-692 supports?
    If it s a Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset PM then it would support the 4 GB of RAM

    Here the details on the Intel page;
    [Intel 945 PM Chipset Express | http://www.intel.com/products/notebook/chipsets/945pm/945pm-overview.htm]

    But the fact is that there are different laptop A100 with different hardware specifications and so there is different information about the possible RAM Upgrade.

    However, I think that you will not be able to use the full 4 GB of RAM due to Win 32 bit limitations. The 32-bit OS can use max 3.2 GB

  • Satellite A100-692: after an error of installation of Windows XP Prof blue

    Hello

    I bought a new satellite A100-692 with Windows XP Home OEM as an operating system.
    But when I tried to access the internet using the local area network and a Proxy Server, it does not work.

    I tried everything I knew and even ask some Forums to get a response, but nothing help.
    Then I think it can work when I install Windows XP Prof instead of the OEM Version. Because all Clients in our network work fine with it.

    But when I run the Installer (booting from CD) I get a blue screen with the message that there is a problem with the PCI (pci.sys) driver (after loading all the drivers).

    Can someone tell what I need to do so that I can install another OS?

    Thank you

    PS: Excuse me if my English is not very good ;)

    Hello

    First of all, the blue screen error message may appear due to hardware failure or serious malfunction of software.
    In your case I guess that it s a software issue because on the version OEM pre-installed, everything worked properly.

    In addition I checked the site s driver and it seems that there are drivers for 3 different notebooks to A100. In this case, you should be sure that you use the correct drivers.
    As far as I checked this laptop your A100-692 has PSAA9E number.

    But have you created a CD of drivers & tools before formatting the HARD drive? This option you will find in the assistance of Toshiba.

    However, you can download the drivers from the Toshiba site and here it is very important that these drivers will be installed in the right order!
    The chipset utility must be installed in a first time after all installations of service packs.
    The common modules are also important.

  • How can I set on Satellite M70 - 394 to 128 MB graphics memory?

    How can I change the graphics memory from 8 MB to 128 MB? I have tired to adjust it by the BIOS but cannot find it there!

    As far as I know on laptops with Intel (shared memory) graphics card, it is not possible. It is controlled automatically. For more graphics memory, you must use more RAM.

  • Very good work for Satellite A100-207 equipped with a graphics card

    Hello world

    most people know that graphical embedded or the graphic fight shared with high-end gaming. Well I'm pretty much playing pro Evo Soccer 6 on my pc at home with an old Prophet 3d geforce card. Now, imagine my surprise to play on my intel A100-207 standard work.

    It was far less detailed, but when I plugged an external monitor to the laptop even better.
    Don't know why, but this game shouldn't turn it on at all.
    I am very happy with the model indeed.

    It's nice

    Hello

    I can only confirm your suggestion. I have another laptop Satellite but it also supports a shared memory graphics card. Many games run properly on it. Of course, I have to change the level of graphical detail at a lower stage, but it works.

    I think that sheared memory cards are not really bad. Many applications heavy performance (games) run correctly, but with a little lower graphic details.

    Hello

    I have a problem.

    My laptop Satellite A100 - 847 PSA9E 2 GB of RAM, nvidia 7600 Go 256 MB.
    I also have external 22' SyncMaster 226BW WSXGA 1680 x 1050

    The problem is that with the original driver (84.68) I can not set the resolution to 1680 x 1050, but I know that the video card supports. I tried the www.laptopvideo2go.com drivers but still those who do not work perfectly.

    Can someone tell me what to do?
    Perhaps the BIOS update can fix this problem? Or maybe another solution?

    Please help :(

    According to the specification of the graphics card (in combination with the preinstalled display driver) doesn't support resolution 1680 x 1050. Supported resolution is 1600 x 1200.

    If yiou can't find solution as a result of this web page, I really don't know what you can do. This page a little better. There must be detailed how change resolution modes.

  • Satellite A100-564: need a newer graphics card driver

    Hello

    I can't update my Ati 200 M display only to the 6.14.10 driver and pilot it is very old.
    I found a new driver on the ATI homepage but it doesn't work. Only the driver of Toshiba work.
    Both are very old? I try more than 10 drivers.

    The pilot on Toshiba.com support is 8.126 but pilot 2D and the driver control is only 6.14.
    But why can't download a driver from ATI.COM?

    And quick question; can I change in my satellite A100-564 more graphics card?

    Here, two short answer;

    (1) drivers from the ATI websites are NOT designed for mobile graphics cards equipped in Toshiba laptops.
    You can find this info on the ATI page:

    + All pilot and technical support for the products are provided by the original manufacturer of the notebook or laptop. Drivers are available for download at ati.amd.com are for products of office only. +

    Graphics driver Toshiba are specially designed for Toshiba laptops and it is very important that you use these drivers to avoid overheating of the material and damage!

    (2) the mobile graphics cards are not expandable. The chips are fixed and especially welded on the map and can be removed easily.

  • Satellite A300D-126 - how to set shared memory?

    Hello!

    A month ago I bought 4 GB of RAM (2x2gb) and I got Windows 7 as operating system.
    My RAM memory is automatically extended to my grafic card (from 256 to more than 1,500 then) and everything worked fine...

    As I could not find the driver for the camera for Win 7, I decided to go back to Win XP and so I did.
    Now, my graphics card is 256 MB and memory system 3.25 GB of RAM. All my drivers are up to date.
    I don't know how to set up shared memory...

    In the BIOS there is no option for it, and I can't update the BIOS when I download the new version...

    Please give me an idea to try out! ... TNX!

    [Photo: http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/4298/94564415.jpg]

    Hello!

    The reason why you can use the entire 4 GB of RAM of the t is the reason why you are using Windows XP or let's say a 32 bit OS. On 32 bit OS it is limitation of memory and so t may be used more than 3.25 GB of RAM. If you want to learn more about this limitation please read this article:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB82022E0000R01.htm

    Furthermore there is no BIOS option to set the graphics memory. It also depends on the limit of 4 GB and the size of the graphic RAM will solve automatically.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA8U: How can I unlock the system - remove BIOS password?

    I recently bought a model of Satellite A100 PSAA8U - 0S 3033 at a yard sale. After changing the memory and the HARD drive (which was supposed to be the problem with the system), I came to understand, there was a password required before I can use the system. Assuming that this system was reported stolen by anyone. Is it possible to unlock it?

    Moreover, it also has a finger scanner.

  • Satellite A100 PSAARE: Toshiba Power Saver + graphics card noise

    Hello

    Is there another URL where I can get a version update of Toshiba Power Saver for my computer drivers laptop Satellite A100 PSAARE other than the home page?

    It seems that it is not determinative of CPU fan (he always keep at maximum speed).

    Also, I noticed the graphics (GeForce 7600) too loud.

    If the monitor is off I can't hear it (just the CPU fan), but as soon as I started working it is audible and as a continuous beep kid.

    Is there a (software/hardware) fix for this?

    Kind regards.

    Hello

    The European driver of Toshiba page is one place where you can get the drivers and tools for your European Satellite A100 PSAARE model.
    This time it s a v7.03.07.I Power Saver for Windows Vista!

    But I must say that I see no problem of software on your laptop.
    Cooling modules and fans have to run with higher performance to make sure that your hardware components may be cooled properly.

    Maybe a cooling module cleaning might help to improve the internal cooling and noise reduction.
    From time to time, I clean my fans for laptop using compressed air stream and the fans are running more silent.

  • Satellite A100-784 - how can I make another copy of my recovery disc DVD

    Hi all

    I have the Satellite A100-784, which comes with Vista Home...
    How could I make another copy of the DVD from my recovery disc?

    Also, I don't have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator... is downloadable?

    Hello

    You n t have the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator, because this Toshiba Software is preinstalled on laptops equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
    I presume that you have received a Toshiba Recovery disk this laptop doesn t allow HARD drive recovery.
    Therefore, you cannot create a new DVD of recovery using the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator.

    What you could do is to copy the supplied recovery disk.
