Satellite L300-1AI - how to put more video RAM?

Hello

I struggle a bit with the graphics card.

I bought GrandTheftAuto IV, and although it runs, it runs very slowly. The cause for this is that it uses only 124 MB of video ram.

I went to the site of intel to learn more, and it turns out that toshiba will set up my video ram before sending it.

http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm
(about 1/2 down, titled: can I increase the amount of memory graphics using my computer is?)

Y at - it an option for me to set up a little more ram on the graphics card?

Because at the moment, if I will:
Desktop computer - make a right click, customize, display settings, advanced settings
Get the type of adapter and information.
Its a Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
1341MB available total graphics memory
128 MB of dedicated video memory
Video 0MB system memory
1213MB shared system memory

The quesitons I need to answer: why vista/intel usually allocate more video memory it is necessary. GTA IV seems not to be allowed to see the dedicated video memory.
And then, how can I say vista/intel to allocate video memory dedicated more or maybe video memory system?
Dynamic video memory allocation thingy seems to not work very well.

I have already been in the graphics media accelerator driver and changed the 3D, of Normal driver memory settings to high.

Concerning
Ollie

Normally the video RAM is switchable dynamic and you can t change.
What you can do is update your RAM and then you will have more video RAM.
However, you should not change the video RAM. Get this s automatically.

On GTAIV I can say, install the latest hotfix.
In addition, you can GTAIV tell you more RAM:
Create a commandline.txt in the main folder of GTAIV and enter this txt to the following file:
-availablevidmem 2.0

This option set the amount of physical memory to video.

  • 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.

  • More video RAM on my Satellite A30

    Hi, how can I share more video ram on my A30, is now 32 MB?

    Hi Alexander,.

    If you have a Phoenix BIOS then you can RAM allocation adjust for your graphics card by changing the value of the AMU in the BIOS setup.

    Access the control panel of the BIOS (F2 on startup), and you will see the value of UMA on the first page to half way down. The settings available are 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB. simply select the value you want and save your settings.

    Of course, this will reduce the RAM available to your applications.

    Hi, I have a Geforce 9500 GT on my ESXi 4.1 server. Some of the windows on the ESXi server machines require more video RAM, then the map server provides (24 MB I think) so I found a 9500 GT I had spare and added. I haven't set anything to the video card and ESXi is not sound using my server maps vga. Can I configure ESXi for my windows to use my Geforce 9500 GT, and you have a link or instructions somewhere?

    Hello

    Shared graphics memory is controlled by GPU driver. You cannot add or edit it manually.

    More depends on the Windows OS you use, because the 32-bit system can manage max 3.2 GB of system memory.

    For example:

    * (32 bit OS) *.
    System memory: 2GB | 4 GB
    Dedicated video memory: 128 MB | 128 MB
    Shared system memory: 702MB | 1214 MB
    TOTAL available graphics memory: 830MB | 1342 MB

    * (64 bit OS) *.
    System memory: 2GB | 4 GB
    Dedicated video memory: 128 MB | 128 MB
    Shared system memory: 702MB | 1631 MB
    TOTAL available graphics memory: 830MB | 1759 MB

  • Satellite L300 - 17K - how to create a recovery CD?

    Hello!

    Forgot to make a "restore CD" on the first departure to the top, is possible to do it later?

    I really want to reinstall Windows Vista on my Satellite L300 - 17K, and I don't have any system´s CD when I bought the laptop. I asked the retailer a CD system, but he said I should get a message to the first boot, saying I should do a "restore CD". But I remember well, that message never came to the top.

    So, how can I do now when I want to reinstall the system without having to purchase a new license?

    Thanks in advance!

    Sincearley!

    Hey Buddy,

    What OS you have installed now? If the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba is still installed, you can create a Toshiba Recovery disk if you start the Toshiba recovery disc creator. This tool is preinstalled on your computer in the start menu > all programs > Toshiba.

    If you n t have no more the original OS, you can directly order a Toshiba Recovery disk:

    I have Toshiba Satellite L300 - 17l, short model No.: PLBSCE, with an Intel GMA X 3100 video card.
    His memory is 256 MB, how can I switch it to 358MB?

    My RAM is 2 GB.

    Will be happy if you give me answer :)

    Hello

    It is not possible! I mean that you can not change this manually.
    Everything is controlled by the display driver and would serve as automatically.

    By the way; graphics card is not extensible because it s part of the motherboard.

  • Satellite L300 PSLB8E - how to increase the ram clock speed

    I have a laptop which is equipped with 2 slots for ram PC2-6400
    1 - Samsung module M4 70T5663QZ3-CF7 [800 MHz] 2GB
    2 - Samsung module M4 70T2864QZ3-CF7 [800 MHz] 1 GB
    GPU: Intel GM45
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 Mobile @ 2000 MHz
    According to the manufacturer, this kit allows you to work with the 667/800 MHz memory speed, but the problem is that reference programs show the actual frequency of the ram at 399 MHz.

    Question No. 1:
    (a) why not clock the memory works in 800 MHz but only 399 MHz,
    (b) how to change to a 800 MHz

    Question No. 2:
    I'm going to buy a processor
    Penryn Core 2 Duo T9600 processor (1066 MHz FSB) (2.80 G) Hz or T9400 (2.53 G)
    and install it in the computer
    and increase the memory of 2 x 4 GB 800 MHz (8 GB)

    I explained that this possibility is provided for by the manufacturer according to the Maintenance Manual for:
    Toshiba computer
    Satellite L300/L305
    Satellite Pro L300
    EQUIUM L300
    SATEGO L300
    (PSLB8x/PSLB9x)
    (PSLBAx / PSLBBx)

    If this operation will help to improve system performance

    I put t know what programs you use and if it is good or not if this info can be good and perhaps not. I put t know. The fact is that you n t have one any influence on the functionality of memory and I doubt that you can do something and change some values.

    Exact specification for laptop laptop does not for me but I think that Satellite L300 must have Intel GM45 chipset and I presume that for your motherboard FSB is 667 MHz. You can improve up to 8 GB and compatible 4 GB RAM module has PA3670U-1M4G part number.

    Upgrade CPU on Satellite L300? I put t know man. A friend of mine has this model of laptop and I don t know if it's the right decision to spend money to upgrade this old model of laptop budget.

  • Satellite L300-110 - how to recover without losing any data on the HARD drive?

    Hi all
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-110

    The question is how can I recover my laptop with the recovery DVD without losing all the data located in the hard drive?

    I confirm the information published by Luke.
    The HARD drive and all other partitions should be formatted using the recovery disk.
    Why? The recovery disc sets the laptop to factory settings and to this end, the HARD drive must be formatted first.

    That is why it s is strongly recommended to back up the data if you want to use the recovery disk.

    Hello

    What BSOD you get exactly?

    Satellite L300, you need SATA drivers to install Windows on a drive of Microsoft because it s equipped to a SATA HDD. The driver you need you can find in the Intel Storage Manager package on the Toshiba site.

    If you don t have an external floppy drive you can use nLIte to create your own with these drivers installation disk.

    Hello

    As Akuma said on the underside of the laptop, you will find a HARD drive cover is fixed by 2 screws I think. If you remove these screws, you can see the HARD drive and remove/Exchange it.

    Satellite L300 supports SATA 2.5 hard drives, and you can buy the HARD drive of every computer store where you want to.
    I have good experiences with Seagate and Western Digital hard drives but of course, you can buy a disk from a different manufacture. ;)

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi mate

    Just a question; are you sure that this application must be installed on your laptop computer at 100%?
    It's really hard to imagine that you have removed or deleted from the disk only by pressing the ESC key

    But if these applications have been pre-installed, so you should be able to get back the system restore to factory settings.
    I mean by installing the image of Toshiba.

    It seems that it is an Australian model of laptop. Is this good?

    Well, I'm not quite sure how it works on Australian laptops, but I think the procedure should be explained in the manual of user m! Check it!

    But in a few discussions such procedure has been explained and some have said that you must press the 0 key immediately after switching on laptop.

    However, manual control of the user, then you would be 100% sure how it works!
