Satellite P20: Possible Solutions to improve my video card

Hi, I own a Satellite P20, which features:
3.0 GHz P4 HT
512 MB of RAM
internal 60 gb HD
GeForce FX Go5600 (64 MB of VRAM)

I am looking for an inexpensive solution to improve or upgrade the specifications of the video to a possible 128 or 256 MB card.
The price is a problem, but I'm willing to spend more than £600, more if necessary.
I am only a student in the United Kingdom, but I'm studying Design of games, with my major aspect being 3D art and design.

Hello

Usually it of not possible to update the graphics card on the laptop.

  • Satellite L50-A-161 - control performance of video card

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite L50-A-161.
    The computer has two graphics cards: a processor intel integrated and a gforce 740 m with 2 GB dedicated.
    Is your computer often uses the video card intel automatically, how do I know the computer to use the gforce always because I often use 3D programs like autocad, photoshop, 3ds design, etc...
    In addition to the question: are we sure the gforce 740 m is a dedicated with 2 GB video card? due to various forums about this computer shared video card

    Thanks for your attention

    But why you want to upgrade the video card?
    However, you clean your laptop if you use the jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.

    Please use this page to European Toshiba driver download driver;

    There are different series of P200. As already mentioned this notebook belongs to the series of PSPB6E and why you must choose that number of the upload form.

  • Possibility to get a new video card and power supply

    Hey everyone just curious if someone could lend a hand with some questions I have.

    I currently have a HP Pavilion Elite

    Model number: HPE-171f

    OS: Windows 7 64-bit


    Recently, I was looking around in my computer and I realized that I only have a 460w power supply. From the beginning, I knew I had to get a new power supply if I wanted to update my video card.

    But then I realized that there are a few constraints of size with the case. I was curious if one of the most recent as the GTX 670 Nvidia cards or 660 (when it releases) would fit in this case. With a power supply.

    I know it's an older case so with this question, I was wondering if its even possible/chip just to upgrade the card video and PS.

    Thanks for the help


    Yes, you can update your map graphics and power for something bigger. The CX500, CX600 Corsair are highly recommended, are favorites of the forum and are known to adapt to most cases of HP. With a length of about 9.5 inches, the graphics card GTX 670 can be tight but feasible in your case... measure along the x 16 PCIe slot and look for potential problems.

    Hi all

    My apologies if I posted in the wrong section
    I have recently acquired a 4090xcdt and that you have installed Windows XP on it.
    The main problem is that I can not find a suitable driver for the video card. Everything what I can't find is rather varied a lot of win 95/98er. The adapter is a trident cyber 9525dvd any help would be appreciated...
    The group is concerned... Scott
    After searching on the net for the last four hours.

    Hello

    I tried a lot of time in the internet for XP drivers, but without success.
    It seems that graphics drivers XP trident do not exist.

    Unfortunately, in my view, must use the standard XP graphics driver, if you want to use XP on this unit ;(

  • Is satellite A10 - possible to install the new graphics card?

    Hello

    I have a videocard Satelite A10, 2.2 Ghz, 712 MB of RAM, provided with your computer.

    I just bought the Sims 2 and thought from the specifications that I would be able to play on my current card. However when I try to run it it gets to the intro screen and then hangs when it is ready to go into the Menu. My first impressions are that I don't have a pretty good graphics card.

    I need a 32 MB T & L capable card so can someone confirm if this is why it would not work on the system.

    If that's the case I'm looking to see if it is possible to install a new graphics card on the machine I want to play more games to date.

    the map I'm looking at is Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 XT 256 MB AGP8X graphics card. It will work on the machine and it is likely to solve my problem?

    Thank you

    HI Jeff,

    In General, it is not possible to change the graphics card in your laptop. This is because the graphics cell are generally not a component separated (as with a normal PC), but generally a specific graphic chip attached to the motherboard so make the graphics a part of the laptop.

    At the same time, the graphics driver is normally a specially modified version will omit some of the more esoteric aspects of the normal driver to minimize the risk of overheating chip since it does not have its own cooling system. Given this, you will find probably than trying to load the latest graphic website manufacturers drivers (Nvidia, ATI, etc.) will not work, and you will therefore be limited to these pilots provided by Toshiba on their Web site.

    In order to get your copy of the SIMS 2 to run you need to omit or reduce some of the graphics settings in the game itself, or alternatively, you can try to use some of the graphics third-party drivers that are written to provide some of the omitted features of the original notebook drivers. Note that if you do that there is no guarantee that they won't cause your overheating graphics chip, even if I used the ATI Omega drivers for some time now without any problems. You can get them: -.

  • I want to improve my video card

    Hi, I have a Hp P6510f with an ati 4200 integrated video card computer, I want to no if my processor AMD Athlon II X 4 630 with 4 GB of memory can work if I put a new card Ati 6770 with 1 GB GDDR5 or if I should go with one which is DDR3?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The map is reasonably priced and certainly much better than the chip in your PC will occur.  My best advice would be to get a quote in a store of the local computer (not a department store) for the cost of upgrading the PSU and your decision.  It would be a good idea to have the details of the particular version of the ATI card you're considering to buy as it will help with the choice of POWER supply which will need to be installed.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A200-1KH is broken (motherboard or video card)

    Hello world!

    I live in Russia, Tomsk.
    My laptop is:
    Reference number: PSAE6E-04302LRU
    Satellite A200-1KH
    I have problems with my laptop.
    I finished the guarantee.

    Service senter told me I need a new motherboard or video. But they are not certain.

    Anyone can tell me where I can see a price for mothreboards and card for my laptop and then to buy it?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Thanks for sharing this with us, but I think that everyone should be very careful using such instructions.
    First disassembly laptop procedure is very delicate. Even if the statement is available, pieces can be broken off during the procedure or the statement could miss some important elements.

    In addition you will always lose warranty if you'd try to disassemble the laptop.
    So to me don t touch if the warranty is valid and come into contact with a local ASP.

    > What is a normal cost for this item? Is - this seller is reliable?
    > Who has already buy something?
    I n t have any experience with this dealer, but the new motherboard is not a party at low prices.
    However, the Toshiba ASP could provide this new mobo for you and you could also ask the price and can compare offers
