Satellite L500-164 - memory graphics type?

Hello

I'm new here. Today, I found the Satellite L500-164. I think it's a very good laptop. Especially the price is good.
Now, there's an Ati Mobility Radeon 4650 with 1 GB of memory in the L500-164. But my problem is, each site there is another description for the type of memory, sometimes its DDR3, GDDR3 (which is of course preferable) could be. Can you help me with this issue? Do you know what memory graphic type is the L500-164?

Would be nice if you can help me. (and sorry for my bad English ^^)

Hello!

You can try to GPU - Z as Akuma said identify memory.

But theoretically GDDR3 and DDR3 is the same type of RAM. GDDR3 means * graphics Double data RAM *. So it's just memory specifically designed for use on graphics cards.

Thus, the graphics card's own memory and doesn t share with system memory.

Good bye

  • Satellite L500-164 - how to cut the speaker internal audio output mode?

    Hello Forum,

    If I want to hear the sound on a stereo external audio internal is always on! I have therefore two audio lines in my environment. Not really good.

    I have a Satellite L500-164. Is this normal for Toshiba laptops? How can I finally disconnect the internal speakers? In headphone mode everything is ok. Internal speaker is disabled.

    Hope for the quick responses, so I can return the laptop in the conversion period.

    Thank you very much for the help!

  • Satellite L500-164: 15.6 "does not appear fullscreen in games

    Hello

    I recently bought the L500-164 and installed Windows 7 64-bit. Everything works perfectly, just a thing which annoys me incredibly.

    Whenever I play a game (Counterstrike, Warcraft3, Warsow, soldier) is a big black band on the left and right, so basically the screen of the game resembles a quadrat. I saw even more on my old 15.4 "laptop, because he was able to view as wide screen.

    I installed the new catalyst, but is not possible within the REC to enlarge the screen of the game for the full amount...
    I really want to solve this problem and I hope for your help.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Normally, every game, you can change the screen resolution and I think that you didn t set the resolution of the screen to the right. As far as I know the Satellite L500-164 has a native resolution of 1366 x 768. did you choose this resolution?
    If you choose another resolution that uses another format, you have these bands on the left and right sides.

    In addition, you must use the Toshiba display driver directly. Other drivers are not pre-tested and don t have protection against overheating.

    Hello

    I am a student in Germany now and I was thinking of buying the Satellite L500-164.
    The problem is, in all stores, you can buy it only with the German keyboard I completely hate.

    Is it possible to change it to an English (or Greek)?
    How much will it cost? How long will it take?
    I thought to buy directly from Toshiba, but they don't sell, so I guess I'm stuck with buying it and immediately send it to the service of change of keyboard?

    Y at - it stores that sell with English keyboard or can change on demand?

    Thank you very much

    > I thought to buy directly from Toshiba, but they don't sell, so I guess I'm stuck with buying it and immediately send it to the service of change of keyboard?
    Well, this will be a solution the other would be to buy a Satellite L500 to the United Kingdom to get a keyboard with English layout.

    You could try to order it from some online retailers. There are enough shops online that provides Toshiba laptops

  • Satellite L500-164 - BSOD during XP installation

    Hello.

    I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and everything was working fine... no probs. But now I want to install Windows XP (32-bit standard edition) on another partition, but it does not work?

    He gets in the installation CD, it loads the hardware drivers (the first step), but then, when he must step in partitioning menu or "where you want to install xp" - menu, it gives me a blue screen with information: (it's in German, I try to translate it):

    It has encountered a problem. Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If you get the error message for the first time, you must restart the computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Search your computer for viruses. Cancel the registration of any newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers. Make sure that the disk is properly configured. Run CHKDSK / F, to determine if the disk is damaged.

    Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007B (0xFA36063C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

    I tried a lot of things. I formatted all partitions with a live cd of linux, so now the hard drive is completely empty, however, does not work. I guess that windows 7 (64-bit) caused the problem... but WHAT?

  • Satellite L500-1UU: what graphics card driver that I can use?

    I bought my laptop the year last of Turkey;

    First of all, I have very important problem of graphics keyboard (problem of delay) abd.

    My graphics card, supposed to be an ATI RADEON HD 5145.
    I'm trying to download toshiba drom website, there is also no suitable driver for my laptop.

    Then I tried to recognize my phone with the pc download - recognition program so maybe I just took bad laptop model. The PROGRAM I have installed RECOGNIZED my phone!

    * This means, Toshiba has not identified, it is own laptop template! *

    I updated my driver from Windows Update and windows update just recognized my HD 4500 graphics card? and it still gives me blue screen now. !

    If Toshiba won't support my laptop why they do not make announcement for this problem?

    Hello

    As far as I know this laptop is equipped with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145.

    Here are the details:
    [Satellite L500-1UU part number: PSLS9E-01N00DG3 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1081162]

    Don't know why your Win 7 recognizes the card as HD 4500, but I recommend that you check this in DirectX
    In RUN (or search) type DXDIAG and check what information would be available to the GPU.

    The graphics driver's ini file contains more graphics model numbers smart card so the same driver is compatible with the different graphics chips!

    Do not forget that you have downloaded the right version of display driver v 8.653 (32-bit or 64-bit)

  • Satellite L500-164 - has the touchpad scrolling feature?

    Hello
    I am interested in buying the laptop L500-164.

    Can someone tell me if this phone has a touchpad with scroll function?
    And so, only the page down, or "from left to right?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Yes, the Satellite L500 supports virtual scrolling.

    But that's why you need the driver for the touchpad, this feature is software based on other laptops. It is not a problem because the driver is already preinstalled and more you can download on the page of Toshiba. :)

    Fun with a new Satellite L500. A friend bought me too and it s really great and the price is also good.

  • Satellite L500 - update the graphics driver of need in the Sims 2 game

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500 with all of the system requirements in the Sims 2 game, but it tell me when I boot there is a compatibility issue.
    I searched online and found that I needed to install a driver, probably to make it work.

    I have an ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics (0 x 9613).
    How can I play the Sims 2?

    I've tried everything.

    Hello

    Normally, you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba site. Did you check that? http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    I checked that I could find a driver on August 09 and I think this driver should be work on old SIMS2.
    Check it!

  • Satellite L500 - lose memory on HARD drive

    On Christmas day, I got my Satellite L500 and he has been randomly lose and gain memory since then. Iwould think it was due to memory incorrect readings, but he also seems to be losing memory even when I do a Defrag. I am aware that the 2 games I added take uplots memory, but the two games should only take 10 GB when my system has lost 42 GB.

    Please help it scares me to turn on my laptop.

    Hi ross261097,

    Your ad is very generally and I put t know what you mean exactly. Of course, if you install programs and different games, they need a lot of disk space and Vista needs at least 15 GB of disk space that I know.

    What you can do is to clear the temp files and temporary internet files. So you can save some disk space.

  • Satellite L500-164 drivers for Windows XP?

    What about drivers for Windows XP (32-bit)?

    On the Toshiba Driver Site for this product there are only drivers vor vista 32 bit and vista 64-bit...

    where can I find drivers for Win XP? Or the Vista drivers work for Win XP, too?

    I can't test it now because I want to first ensure that it will work with win xp, after that I tried to install it...

    Hello

    The Satellite L500 doesn t Windows XP, it supports only 32-bit Vista and Vista 64-bit. Windows XP is pretty old OS, it the past. Now it of Windows Vista or Windows 7.

    If you want to install XP you must collect the drivers by yourself on external sites, such as Intel, Realtek, and far.

    But to be honest rejoice with OS preinstalled. All new laptops are fast enough for Vista. ;)

    I recently installed Windows 7 on my L500-164 with all driver Vista 64. I have not found page to download special drivers for Windows 7 x 64 on the drivers.
    But there is always an instrument with an unknown status in Device Manager. I installed all the avaible drivers so I don't know what this may be. How can I find and install the correct driver? Name of the device is just 'unknown '.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello Feodor

    You confuse me completely. If there is no Win7 64 bit drivers how you write, I installed all the drivers available? What drivers you have installed?

    In any case, open the properties of this unknown device and click details. You will find the device ID.
    Send us the device ID.

    and if so, is it possible after the purchase of the laptop to get the card to its full/normal speed?
    It would be great if someone has an answer! :)

    THX and sorry for my bad English! ;)

    Hello

    The mobile graphics chips are different from desktop PC graphics cards.
    Due to the risk of overheating it s not possible to increase the speed GPU.

    You should consider that mobile graphics cards cannot be cooled as graphics cards for desktop PC
    Why?
    Because of the available space inside the chassis of s for laptop.

    There is simply no space for the huge cooling modules (cooling water system, etc.) as desktop PC computers have.

    Well done dude

  • Satellite L500-164 does not start sometimes

    Heyas!

    For most laptop does not start on the first attempt. The Power LED lights up, the cooler and the HARD drive start (it looks that they rotate exactly once) and that's it. After a few seconds the laptop turns off again. There is no screen and the LED on the HARD drive also not would light up. If that happens, I start the laptop again and again. In most cases I need to start 2 - 3 times, but once I had to start 20 times until it worked.

    I also tried to start just with the power supply (I hope that's the right word for it, I'm German = D) and took the battery out of it, but the result was the same.

    But when the laptop finally started, it works without problem.

    Greetings,
    Daniel

    It is not easy to say what the problem is but it certainly is hardware related issue and your laptop must be verified by the authorized service partner Toshiba. With the help of diagnostic tools that they can find out why this happens.

    Here in this virtual world we can only speculate on the possible reasons.

    Hello

    Unfortunately it is not possible to change the graphics card. It s fixed/soldered on the motherboard and can't be exchanged. Sorry, but it is not possible to s.

    But if you only need a better resolution of the screen, you can connect an external monitor. Here, you can work with a higher resolution if your monitor supports it.
