Shared Satellite A50 - upper memory. How to do this?

I recently upgraded my Satellite A50 - 492: 256 MB to 1024 MB memory. It is a sharing of memory for the video card and when I look at how many MB is used by the video card, I saw only 20 MB. I wanted to increase that to 128 MB, but I don't know where to find them in the BIOS, how to do this. Could you please send me the procedure to do?

Hello Marlon.

The use of sharde RAM for your graphics card will be controlled by the graphics driver and it will be of course specific to your graphics card. ATI has provide a useful utility which is accessible from the Panel of control-> Display Properties-> advanced. Within this utility is an option to change the value of the AMU which will change the RAM allocation shared to the graphics card. On my A30 is adjustable between 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB.

I believe that Intel provides a similar utility but I've never seen so I can't comment on that.

Save your advanced display settings to see if there is a similar option.

In addition, Phoenix BIOS displays the value of the AMU in the settings menu of BIOS and it can also be change here.

  • I am not able to access a shared printer from another computer on my network. How to solve this?

    Recently, I replaced my NETGEAR wired router with a NETGEAR WNDR3300 Wireless Gateway.  While I am able to share internet access both wired and wireless, on my PC I have shared my printer and several directories.  My wife's PC does not show my PC in the network, but if I ping my PC against hers, it solves the IP address, but the ping times out in vain.  This network allows to work with the original router.  I show PC my wife on the network on my PC.  Since my PC can not be seen on his PC, I can't add the printer shared on his PC.  How to solve this?

    Configure the firewall on each computer to trust the local network and allow the sharing of files and printer.

    More than one firewall running is likely to cause problems.  Select McAfee or Windows Firewall and disable it.

    I suspect that McAfee needs to be configured to approve the new router network.  I don't know what version of what McAfee product, you have, but here's how to do it on the program McAfee Security Center provided by Comcast:

    1 double-click on the Red M in the system tray.
    2. click on Internet & network .
    3. click on Configure .
    4. by firewall protection is enabled , click Advanced .
    5. click on networks .
    6. If your router network does not trust , click Network, click on edit and select Trusted then in the menu.

  • Re: Memory limit for Satellite A50 492

    Hello

    I replaced Intel Celeron with Pentium M in my Toshiba Satellite A50 492 (PSA50E-01P02VPL). I did this partly because the manual says there is a limit superior of memory on Pentium (2 GB) than the Celeron (1 GB). Unfortunately mobile still sounds so equipped with more than 1 GB of RAM. Could you please help me how to use 2 GB with this material?

    When I traded the processor I had to program cmos or something to make it possible to run a Pentium M.
    Maybe other programming is necessary for a memory limit?

    I have updated the bios to version 1.40.

    The third limit of 1 GB of source States, but they are wrong in saying 512 MB is the maximum memory that can be inserted, cause now that I came across (PC2700, DDR 333 MHz) 1 GB in the first Bank and the second one is empty.

    Hello

    Limitation of the memory depends on the chipset of the motherboard.
    It s containing no software, so nothing will help you increase memory or to break limitation.
