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!

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.

Good bye

    And if do made 256 will have a good effect specialty for the games or not?

    It's all thanks. :]

    Hello!

    If you now 800 MB shared memory, you have quite 928 MB memory graphics.

    A dedicated video memory 256 MB upgrade is not possible because the graphics card is soldered on the motherboard and t can be exchanged. Who you mans can only increase the total available graphics memory, with more RAM.

  • Re: Satellite A300D-126: 16 GB of SD card does not work

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A300D-126 works with Windows Vista.
    Recently, I bought a 16 GB SD card BUT when I plug it in the computer card reader it doesn't recognize it.

    The computer recognizes that she and I can work on that with the usb card reader.

    Does anyone know what I should do to be grateful on the pc SD reader?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think I know why the 16GB SD card doesn't work.
    I found the info on compatible cards that could be used in this slot for laptop:

    -SD Card 8MB - 2 GB
    -4 GB to 16 GB SDHC card
    -16MB - 2 GB xD Picture card
    -Memory Stick 8 to 256 MB
    -Memory Stick Pro 256 MB to 2 GB
    -8MB - 2 GB MultiMediaCard
    -(with adapter) miniSD 32 MB - 2 GB
    -512 MB - 4 GB microSD (with adapter)
    -Memory Stick Pro Duo(with adapter) 256 MB to 4 GB

    As you can see, you can only use 8 MB - 2 GB SD cards. More large SD cards are not compatible :(

    Seems you have to work with the USB card reader if you want to use the 16 GB SD card.

  • Satellite A300D-126 - GPU Overhead

    Hello

    I'm owner of Toshiba Satellite A300D-126. I have a question about my GPU.
    Is overheated when I play games or watch a movie. Beginning of the screen up and down, other times I sometimes have a green lines on it or just stopping.

    I can do anything on this subject?

    Can I change the video card? I have an ATI Radeon, but I don't know if my model is for sure for about $ 100. It is going to work or just need a new system?

    Can I upgrade with 512 MB?

    Exchange GPU or upgrade is not supported. Generally the hardware upgrade on mobile machinery is very limited and supported upgrade is for RAM and HARD drive only.
    Overheating can also come from dust in the cooling rack.

    Satellite A300D is pretty old machine and as a first step I recommend to clean it.
    After having done that, your laptop can take a new breath, and I hope that it will not reach the critical temperature again.

  • No sound on Satellite A300D-126

    I recently got a sound promblem with my Satellite A300D-126 part number: PSAK4E-00X00JG3. It is said that my devices are ok, but I don't hear anything from them.
    Any ideas to solve the problem?

    What do you mean exactly?
    You can't hear sound coming from the generation of speakers?

    Did you notice the same problem when you use the headset/hradphones?
    Did you check the sound options? Maybe the MUTE option is enabled? Check it by using the FN + ESC key combination.

  • Satellite A300D-126 - need drivers for Vista Ultimate x 64

    Hello world!
    can someone tell me where can I find the drivers for vista ultimate x 64 can laptop? On this site, I couldn't find that for the 32 x.
    Is it works on x 64? It's urgent pls...
    Thank you

    Hello

    You Satellite A300D-126 belong to the series of PSAK4E. Is this good?

    Well, as you say the European Toshiba page pilot provides drivers for Vista 32 bit and Win XP at this time.
    It seems therefore that the 64 bit Vista drivers are not available at this time!

    Therefore, you have to collect eth Vista 64 bit drivers with your own hands...

    How to increase shared memory for display from 64 MB to 512 MB?

    Hello

    It is not possible.
    You cannot change the value manually the graphic card driver controls cela and it changes automatically.
    In addition, your laptop supports an internal graphics Intel HD (HM55) card and this chip is not really suitable for the game.

  • Re: Satellite A300D-126 - SATA controller which is installed

    Salvation is),

    I have the Satellite A300D-126 (part number: PSAK4E-00X00JG3) and I want to know, what is the SATA controller installed. Is this compatible SATA2?

    Thing is I want to replace it for the WD Scorpio Black (model: WD3200BJKT).
    Is not this SATA2 HARD drive. Maybe anyone who has tried to install the HDD SATA2 compatible?

    Currently isntalled SATA/SATA2 HARD disk compatible Hitachi HTS542525K9SA00.
    Computer laptop chipset AMD M690G should support SATA2. Please help me with this problem. Thank you in advance.

    Sincerely,
    Georges

    Hello

    SATA2 is compatible, which means that you will be able to use HDD SATA2 (300 MB/s), even if the cell takes in charge the SATA1 (150 MB/s)

    But as far as I know the laptop was equipped with the interface Serial ATA 2.5 Rev.

  • Satellite L30-134: how to change shared video memory?

    Hello

    I have a laptop L30-134 with 512 MB of ram and 64 MB of video memory shared.

    I can't change the virtual memory from 64 MB to 128 MB.
    I reed some messages in this forum but I have no option in the Panel as "FrameBuffer" and the bios hase no option for the video display adapter, I tried to install the latest ati driver but ich time I get an error is not configuration / compatibil card whit say out.

    How I change my card adapter video shared memory size?

    Thank you.
    PS: sory for my bad English... :)

    Hello

    Using the latest display driver (you can download it at toshiba), then you will have the option of frame buffer memory. The initially installed driver doesn't have this option. You will be able to use the memory of 128 MB for vga. If you put your L30 512 MB, you can use 256 MB of video memory. But I found no differences in the games between 128 MB and 256 MB.

    Best regards

    My question is the same as we can read on this url:

    But the solution only works with windows xp, anyone know a driver version with which the 'frame buffer' tab is present?
    The latest version of the driver is installed on my Satellite L30-105(catalyst 7.6), 128 MB are shared, but 32 will be enough for me.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    I think the problem is that Vista graphic driver does not support this option.
    The option described in the in the other thread was available in the argument XPOS.

    But why would you change? On my L30 128 MB shared memory are activated, but the laptop uses only 64 MB if I put t run all applications performance.
    The pilot controls the amount of shared memory automatically.

    You can se under control panel-> display-> advanced settings
    In the map tab, you can see total graphic memory available (in my case 128 MB) and system memory shared (64 MB)

    By the way; I don't think that 32 MB graphics memory may be sufficient if you're running Vista

  • Satellite A300D-126 downgrade Vista to XP

    Hi all

    I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300D, model 126, with Windows Vista Home Premium (PSAK4E).
    These days I tried to install Windows XP Professional with SP2 on my laptop.

    First, I made a new partition (D :) for the new operating system.
    I installed the OS XP on the D: drive. I expect to be able to choose between the two OS (Vista and XP) when I start the computer.
    After you have installed all the drivers for XP, I took on the Toshiba site, I realized the SM Bus controller driver is still not installed.

    Where can I get this driver?
    Secondly, how can I choose between two operating systems when you start the computer?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all I hope that you have created a Toshiba Recovery disk in order to recover the laptop if something will go wrong.

    Now to your installation of Win XP.
    The installation of Win XP has damaged the Vista Boot Manager.
    If you want to start the two BONES, then you will have to boot from the original Microsoft Vista disc to repair the boot manager.
    After the boot manager has been repaired and you started the Vista device you can use a tool called Vista Boot Pro to include the Win XP to the Vista boot loader.

    See you soon

  • Satellite Pro L850 - i5 3210 M shared memory allocation

    Hello

    I am a happy owner of this laptop great and I added an extra RAM to consider to 8 GB.

    All data sheets on the State of sites detailing the gpu that can be assigned up to 1.7 GB of memory share.

    Previous experience from other computers is that this amount of memory is impaired in the BIOS settings, but I don't see any option in the latest BIOS 1.60.

    Obviously theres a lot of RAM to give to the GPU, but I do not see how to assign. The i5 chips allocate dynamically once Windows is running or the BIOS is missing this setting?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    Shared memory is controlled by the graphics driver and it cannot be controlled manually if running applications needs some shared memory, the pilot would have set this value automatically.

    To be honest, I don't know how you can do... I do not think, it is possible to obtain from Toshiba. I can't recommend allows you to get Win 7 64-bit to install. For all win7 drivers, take a look:
