Satellite L30 - why system shows 224 MB only?

Hello!

I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L30-114. It is written on this Web site, it has 256 MB of memory, but my system shows only 224 MB - start-Panel System).

Why is this?

It's because of the shared memory. More on shared memory, you can find under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_memory

I recommend to extend the RAM. On this way, the device will be faster and also more memory will be reserved for faster graphics operations.

Good bye

    Hello

    That says the BIOS?
    BIOS sees the 1.5 GB of RAM?

    As far as I know that the laptop can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB)
    The ATI graphics chip also shared memory.
    This means that if you installed 2 GB of RAM, a main part of this memory would be shared by GPU.

    It would be interesting to know what value would be reported by system using a single module (1 GB or 512 MB)

    by the way: what memory is shown in DXDIAG?

  • Satellite L30-101: System indicates the value of memory bad

    Hello

    I hope someone can help. Just bought the L30-101 with Vista Home Basic and 512ram (ddr2 pc2 4200). The specs say it can take up to 2 gig with a max of 1 gig per slot.

    Site of Crucial ram and there memory Advisor tool used for a stick of compatible 1 gig to another location of the source and bought a stick of 1 GB (ddr2 pc2 4200). It was put in the laptop, but instead to show 1.5 GB of ram it showed only a little more than 900 MB - so he was recognizing the new stick and using a small part for shared graphics etc. but was totally ignoring the original 512 stick.

    I tried move but opposing slots always get the same result. Also tried the two sticks separately and work well on their own, but when the two haven't inserted the 1 gig stick seems to be recognized. Is this a compatibility issue?

    Ive tried to contact crucial themselves, but still have had no response, so thought I would try and choose someones brains here.

    Any ideas anyone?
    See you soon

    This is a compatibility issue, I think you should get a new memory.

    Sometimes it's a problem if you use different modules (size, brand, speed).
    Usually, these problems are presented if you have a noname memory.

    You must purchase another module of 1 GB instead of this the 512ram or replace the 1 GB with a new key.

    I've heard a user has how Kingmax and Samsung 512 MB 1 GB of ram in the L30 and everything is going well, he has no problem with him.
    I have two Samsung 512 MB modules and have no problem.

  • Re: Satellite L30 does not start after adding another stick of 1 GB memory

    I bought 1 GB PC4200 533 MHZ DDR2 SODIMM memory module for my Toshiba Satellite L30 - 10v (PSL33E) to make it 2 GB. After you have added the 1 GB modules Satellite L30 wouldn't start. With only 1 GB, that it starts ok, with the other 1 GB origianal only boots ok. (The two modules are ZCE6 430 - K4T1G163QB Samsung 1 GB PC4200 533 MHZ DDR2)

    The two modules of 1 GB boot not together. I noticed that many others have had this problem. (please see
    This [t-22984]. post)
    On this forum, someone bought the CT12864AC53E memory module which works, however I can't find this on the site of Crucial.
    I've heard other purchase the sticks of memory CT572238 and CT572234 and have the same problems.

    Memory Advisor says determinative buy the CT572234 memory sticks.

    I have also updated the bios to V3.10, still does not start with the two modules.

    I'm ready to buy 2 new modules, but what 2x1GB memory works?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    > 1 GB strips boot not together. I noticed that many others have had this problem.

    For me it s case;
    The two modules don't work together
    Seems the modules are not compatible there is only one solution. Replacement of RAM!

    Try other RAM modules.
    I bought a few modules from Kingston and made good experience

    Hello

    According to the specifications of the laptop your L30 has ATI RC410MD graphics card. I m not 100% sure, but I assume that it is the shared memory card which means that certain amount of RAM will be used for graphics operations. Due to this RAM more low value appears in cell s system information.

    With all due respect, you are incorrect. You simply did not notice before D drive. D drive is a logical drive. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to prevent it from the show. However, simply disable the system for D drive restore.

  • Memory not correct system on Satellite L30-105

    I just purcased a Satellite L30-105. It is supposed to be 1024 MB (1 GB) of Ram installed.
    Windows and the BIOS see 894Mb
    In the BIOS it reads memory system: 633 MB
    Extended memory: 894 MB

    Should he not see the complete 1024Mo?
    Can I have a problem with the installed memory?

    Thanks a lot for any advice.

    Hello

    I completely agree with Abe83.
    The graphics card shares memory with the main memory of the laptop and the free difference appears so as a memory system.
    It s nothing unusual and everything is ok with your laptop! Don t worry buddy ;)

  • Satellite L30-149, only works with external monitor and VGA mode

    Satellite L30-149, Windows XP Home Edition

    Yesterday I did face the following problem:

    I swithched on my laptop but I have nothing on the screen. I tried to reboot several times, but it did not help. If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

    I plugged on the external monitor. With that he gives a little more. The Intel logo with the instruction how to reach configuration etc. Then Windows logo but when it should ask the user, the external monitor going to sleep mode and nothing happens after that.

    And an external monitor, I managed to connect to Windows in safe mode and also in VGA mode. In VGA mode, I tried to change the resolution, after that I got black screen again and I had to start.

    Now I wonder if I could do something (update of drivers, etc.) or should I go to the store where I bought the laptop and ask them to fix it. This look like a problem covered by the warranty?

    --
    Upgrade to this message (what happened after that I wrote the above text).

    I turned on the laptop again. I thing the lightning from the room is now better because I noticed that the laptop seems to work (almost) correctly. Windows starts normally, I can faintly see the desktop. This seems to be a problem in the background ligthning. FnF7 does not change the situation.

    This sentence is very interesting.
    Sounds like a question of FL-ups!

    It is a small part behind the screen and control the backlight of the screens.
    Usually, this part is not very expensive and the replacement is not complicated to a technician for laptop.

    If your warranty is valid, then everything should be done for free.
    Try to contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

    Greetings and good luck

    Hello!

    My Toshiba Satellite L30-149 with the PSL35E-002002NS model number is equipped with a MK4032GSX drive HARD 40 GB, Bios V 1.90 and HP Windows XP Home edition.

    Hello

    I think that this is related to failure of HARD drive or lack of OS on the HARD drive.
    Is this message PXE ONLY appears if the portable computer is trying to boot from LAN.

    Means either the LAN was chosen in the BIOS as first boot device or operating system is not found on the HARD drive and so the BIOS automatically goes to the local network.

    So I recommend this audit in the worst case you will need to check if the new HARD drive would solve this
