I need help

ThatGuy16 · 10-02-2007, 09:20 AM

My laptop has 512mb of ram, the video is using 128mb therefor i only have 384mb. How can i set it to 64mb?!? im guessing bios? ill have to figure out what button enters bios lol. Am i right? if so were in bios would i change it?

Thanks

I'll bet you've got it figured by now, but yes, that would be a bios deal. How you access your bios and where that info is in there would better be answered knowing the brand/model of your notebook.

Cheers

It was late last night, im about to try and fix it. Its a Toshiba satallite A105

Edit: i just looked and there isn't an option in bios for it...?

Nice laptop! Awesome GFX too! 6 pounds? Wow!

Press F2 to get into the CMOS of that lappy.

Its ok, i can play some games at low settings lol.. i edited my post right when you posted, i looked in bios and there no option there?

Oh its a A105-S1712, you probably looked at a better one

Can't find it? Then either it's non-changeable... or you need to flash it.. (is it even possible for an laptop?)

I thought "integrated" used your system memory? "Dedicated" had it's own memory??

Thats the model, online it says its got a GO 72-7600 dedicated. But mine has a AT Express 200M series, must be shared it shows as 128mb, its stealin my memory

Ah-ha! Integrated (even though yours is an Pentium..) so yeah it seems to be stealing... DDR2 667 isn't that expensive... If you cannot lower the memory.
