Satellite L300-129 - upgrade CPU (NOT to improve game performance)

I'm running a Toshiba L300-129 and I want to know if I can improve my processor.

If so, what upgrade options I have? I use my laptop for games, rather, I need extra CPU for music, produce software that I use. (Cubase5) The upgrade of the processor will be a significant performance increase for my software?

The software works very well, but I am limited in the amount of plug-INNS (VST)
I can use before the program crashes due to the processing overhead (ASIO).

Would appreciate help.

> I want to know if I can improve my processor.
Well, CPU can be removed from the motherboard and can be replaced but it s not official supported. This means that no one can guarantee that this notebook would be stable after an upgrade.

> Processor upgrade will be a significant performance increase for my software?
No, certainly not. Of course a stronger CPU would give more power, but you won't see a performance gain. In addition, please note that the stronger CPU produce more heat dissipation which leads to the highest temperature and this may affect the functionality of the laptop.

In General, the new processor must be compatible with the chipset of the motherboard.
So, if you really want to upgrade the processor (I don t recommend) then you have to check what chipset your laptop support and check the support for other processors.

  • 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.

    Of course, your laptop is completely dead. In such situation, there is no magic solution and I m afraid that you need professional help. If there is absolutely no reaction is maybe defective electronic power supply and the motherboard must be exchanged.

    As you know this is part more expensive so you need to check if this is the solution for you.

  • Satellite L300 wireless works do not with my particular brand of modem

    Hello, I really need help here.

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite L300, and I got it since April. I can't connect wireless via the modem I have here at home (netgear DGN2000).
    I can connect to other modems however. I've updated my wireless with Atheros card, but its still does not.
    If anyone has any suggestions please please please help!

    Thank you

    If you can connect to other routers on that it is proof that your laptop WLAN module works properly.
    In my opinion you cannot connect to your one because of wrong settings on your router.

    Your laptop detects your router? Your router is visible for Satellite L300?

    Hello!

    I think that this is not a problem. Windows 7 is only a beta OS and at the moment, the pilot decision-making is not very good.

    You might find some drivers on the site of the factory of the WLAN card. In your case, it should be Realtek.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A300-1ED - upgrade CPU of PDC to C2D

    Hi all
    Small question. I still have six months toshiba warranty on my A300-1ED. laptop is very good. Never fail. But it lacks performance so I want to upgrade my PDC T2390 to some C2D processor.
    Tell me what model of C2D my A300-1ED runs (card mother and bios)? T7500? T5750? Frequency FSB? 667 or 800?

    Someone at - he do it before?

    Thanks for all the tips!

    Hello

    First of all, you will lose the warranty if you would disassemble the laptop!
    This should be clear to you.

    Then there is no guarantee that your laptop would go well and stable after this upgrade the CPU.
    I m thinking about issues of compatibility between the processor and BIOS since the BIOS was pretested with the other processors.

    However, I have read some threads here on the CPU upgrade and some users do that
    Seems that some laptops run without any big problems after upgrade CPU, but I think it's not consistent for all series

  • Satellite L300-1BD - output does not work VGA

    Hello.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (model PSLB8E). I've been usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV won't not reckognized by cell phone. TV says no external device is connected. I tried different things: commissioning with the TV connected and not connected via the VGA cable, by pressing the FN + F5, removing the battery and pressing on the powerbutton, verified to the last videodriver, deleted the driver existing and installed new... unfortunately without result. I also tried to plug the TV with a different VGA cable, but no result. It is not the TV because I tried to connect the laptop to a TFT monitor and it did not work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfectly.

    The strange thing is: if I crochet TV up the laptop, I can hear the phone makes the his "new hardware found" and turns black same laptopscreen for a second, then everything appears on the laptopscreen. If I check the graphic properties with the right click on my desktop, I see they are no set for 'clone device ". As if the laptop computer knows, something is connected, but just cannot transfer the image to the TV screen.

    The graphics card is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
    The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).

    It's a shame that the VGA output seems to be down because I watch tons of videos and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If someone has an idea or an idea, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

    Marcin.

    Hello

    All that you have done to test the functionality of a VGA port is good, but I assume that there must be a hardware problem and I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider.
    Of course, on this path virtual, we can only speculate what may be the problem, but it should be tested correctly. If you want to last and ultimate test Exchange HARD drive, install original OS, you got with the functionality of your laptop and test with the factory settings.

  • Can satellite L300 - I upgrade Vista SSD?

    I'm looking to upgrade a L300 Vista to SSD. Has anyone tried to cela and what SSD for what they recommend?

    In my opinion, you should update you with Win7 32 bit on SSD. A long time ago I installed Win7 32 bit on friends Satellite L300. The laptop works much better with Win7.

    Upgrade SSD shouldn't be problematic. You can get the Toshiba SSD or some other manufacturers SSD.

  • Satellite L300-20W - DVD will not play

    Satellite L300-20W.
    Laptop CD in WMP fine plays.
    However if I try to play a DVD I get the message "Windows Medial Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer."

    If I try to use a Toshiba DVD player, a box opens (with clouds in there) and almost immediately I get the message "Toshiba DVD Player has stopped working" and then "Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available," but of course he never advise me.

    Any help much appreciated. (Old man and not very technical)
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Regarding the error code: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. »

    It seems that your Windows Media Player does not have the necessary plugin DVD decoder that allows you to watch DVDs.
    See this MS knowledge base article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306331

    I also recommend to install a codec that allows you to watch other videos stored in other formats.
    K - lite Mega Codec Pack is free and contains all the codecs.

    If you are not able to use the Toshiba DVD software you must reinstall this tool.
    I think that the most recent version is released on the European driver Toshiba page.
