• How to adjust shared video memory - R10/R600 teacher of Win7 32-bit size

  Hello

  I use two laptops in the business - R600 and R10. Both with Intel 4500 graphics card and shared video memory. Both win Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. In both cases the system of reserve 1 159 MB of video memory. As I do not play no matter what games, I don't need to lose an enormous amount of memory - I want to release as much as possible for the system and programs.

  For the purposes of the trial, I installed Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Surprisingly, it holds only 199MB of video memory - it looks like the issue of the BONE.

  Anyone know how I can reduce the size of the video memory under Windows 7 32 bit?

  Kind regards

  PAB 567

  As far as I know, this can be done manually and shared memory is controlled by the system.

  If you n t use it for games I n t see any problem here. I put t know what kind of activity you do with your laptop, but I can't imagine there is not enough memory to each day's activities.

  Is it not enough power for some operations or what?

• Satellite L300-229 - new module of memory is not recognized

  Satellite L300-229 - I just installed an extension of memory of 1 GB to add to the existing 1 GB.

  I used a 1 GB Crucial 200pin DDR2 SODIMM PC2 6400 CL6. For some reason, it will not recognize it and shows again that the 1 GB. I closed and installed in start mode according to manual and tried to reinstall.

  Any idea?

  Thank you

  Hello

  What happens if you only install the new module 1 GB RAM? Don't start the computer and if so how much RAM does show?

  Normally, the specifications of the new RAM module should work. I have a Satellite L300 too and I've updated it with the same RAM but Kingston. It works without any problem. :)

• Is possible on Satellite L300-21W graphics card updated?

  Hello!

  I think buy Toshiba Satellite L300-21W, but I want to play games on it like Cod2 but I think his series graphics card is weak, so my question is:
  "I CAN REPLACE GRAPHIC CARD WITH BETTER ONE or NOT (and with that one, if you know)"! ""

  Thank you!

  As I know the graphics card on the portable computers cannot be upgraded. This is also described in the follow-up paper - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
  So if you want to play different games with your laptop pick up info on models with graphics cards better.

  I can recommend you to check the laptop Satellite A300/A350 models.
  Talk to your local dealer.

• I wonder if more shared video memory will make my game to live better.

  allright, I have a Core 2 Duo 2 ghz cpu, 3 GB of RAM DDR2, an Intel GMA 4500MHD (128 MB dedicated video memory) and 1.2 GB of video memory shared (you know, the kind that comes out of your total RAM and is SLOW). I play games (halo 2, call of duty), and I was wondering if the allowance, say 1.5 GB instead of 1.2 GB video memory shared could make a difference at all in my current games, or allow me to play more than memory video intensive games. Please answer if you know the answer to the question. If you don't know the answer, don't answer. Thank you for your time.

  Intel has a good web page describing the shared video memory http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-029090.htm.  According to this page, the video card uses automatically more memory as needed until the maximum authorized.

• Updated by Satellite L300-1AQ and Win7 - a few questions

  Sorry will try this again as my original thread does not appear anywhere.

  I have a Satellite L300-1AQ and only got their hands on the disks to upgrade Toshiba Windows 7 - Vista Home Premium to Win 7 HP.

  Can I really use this to perform a new installation of Win 7 64 bit?

  That made the other disk in the pair actually? Is it fair pilots or it installs cr@pware too?

  Thank you.

  This is a very useful document for you > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9902P60000R01.htm

  You will get two discs: composite discs and upgrade.
  Start your laptop and place the composite disc and follow the on-screen menu. I think that you won't have more problems to understand how it works.

  New installation? I don't know if this will work but noted that after a new installation, you will not have the activation code valid and you'll probably version only 30 days. key down will not help you for regular activation.

• 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

• Satellite L300 - problem RAM upgrade video

  I upgraded my new Satellite L300 - 11g of 1 GB to 2 GB and it works fine,

  But the video RAM still 256 MB because it is written in the manual that the video RAM is 384 during the upgrade to 2 GB.

  358 MB total available graphics memory is. This means that the video card can use MB so fine video, but it is not a constant value.

• Satellite L300-1BV and fatal issues with WXP

  Hi guys -.

  Very well. My Toshiba Satellite L300-1bv, loaded with a copy of Windows XP SP3 home edition, started having glitches and slowing down questions that grew progressively until it would completely freeze after a random interval of time. Try to boot now returns a missing hal.dll error.

  I'm almost certain, given the characteristics of this that the hard drive is a failure, mainly because he began to thrash continually without reason a few months in him. On the other hand, it could be a mistake of memory through Google diagnostics.

  I ve managed to install a copy of Windows XP Home SP1 edition on a new partition (the one broken leaving intact), but I don't know how long it will continue to operate in light of a possible hardware failure so I don't want to commit.

  Any help would be massively appreciated.

  Hello

  What assistance do you have exactly?

  As you say the problem could be related to a hardware (RAM, HARD disk problem) or software (missing hal.dll, corruption of the operating system) problem

  If new OS installation (with all patches, service pack) no did not help, then a problem of material is possible in this case, replace defective parts
  No one can say what part could be corrupted it s is necessary to test means that the RAM or HARD drive needs to be replaced and then you could test how it works

  PS: there is a nice tool to drive HARD HDD Fitness called diagnosis test for google's free simply

• problems with dedicated and shared graphics memory

  So basically I want to run a game that I have all the specs (above actually) that I need to play outside of memory dedicated to the graphics card. But what confuses the life out of me, is that I have about double the necessary memory required in system memory shared which as I understand, it is used on an as-needed-basis. However, clearly this is not the case, as soon as I try and run it crashes immediately.

  Okay, so I have the graphics card with the following specifications:

  chip type: mobile intel (R) 4 series express chipsets
  channel of the card: mobile Intel GMA 4500 M
  total memory: 797 MB
  memory: 64 MB dedicated
  shared system memory: 733 mb

  In addition to what BossDweebe wrote, I would like to comment on your comment

  "I more than double the necessary memory required in system memory shared which as I understand, it is used on an as-needed-basis." However, clearly This is not the case, as soon as I try and run it crashes immediately. »

  Shared memory (part of your system RAM) is provided by Windows on a dynamic basis, it is added if required and with a limited amount by the RAM of the system itself needs to run applications (= your shared graphics memory size can be based on available RAM total). It's a help for some graphical features, but not necessarily a guarantee to run games that explicitly requires a certain base of dedicated RAM video. As the dedicated RAM (own GPU memory) is much faster than the share of the contributions of RAM, two cases can appear:

  (1) the game does not start. Many games check the video hardware before starting, and if they are 64 MB VRAM and require more, often it is game over. The dynamically allocated shared memory cannot be controlled and is of no interest here.

  (2) other games may be more forgiving. But you're going to be faced with a vicious circle: you're hoping using shared memory, is a clear indicator of a graphic solution already slow and Asthenique (i.e. an integrated graphics card). Unfortunately, the slow system RAM does not speed up your graphics card, and taking a part of the RAM for the graphics features: with a slower running your game and can still finish in the dysfunctions.

• Satellite L300 - 'W' and 'F' keys not working do not - cannot open a session

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L300.
  My 'F' and 'w' keys do not work and because I have a built-in HARD drive password containing these letters, I can't start my computer.

  I got a problem "starting" a few months back, and what I had to do was restore my laptop to an earlier date. I did it through management of Boot at startup. The only thing is that I don't remember how to do it now.

  I can't find the restore disks that could come with my laptop - so the only way I can do, thanks to a Startup Manager.

  So, how do you do a system restore? or y at - it another way to solve this problem?

  Help, please! :)

  Hello

  If I understand your case, the HARD disk password has been set and now you are not able to boot the laptop because the password can not be typed due to the defective keyboard.
  Right?

  Hmm, replace the keyboard buddy I think it's just the ideal solution.
  Of course, you can try to plug an external USB keyboard but I don't know if it will generally work at the BIOS level, it should work, but in the worst case you will need a new internal keyboard m.
