Portege 4000 - RAM upgrade & graphic card driver installation

I'm having a few issues with my Portege 4000 at the moment. I installed XP on one disk, but will need more RAM as I only have 256MB...
- Have tried 2 manufacturers but the PC133 512 isn't compatible. However my system has an IBM chip of PC100 256 in it, which was bought at an earlier stage last year, after much trial and error, and I'm now wondering whether the motherboard will be more suited to PC100 rather than PC133?
- Am considering alternative options to XP, namely 98SE or 2000 as these are lighter operating systems. I can put this on an alternative (test) disk. Is it possible to set up a partition for the Recovery CD Rom (which has 98SE) on it and have some space left over for installing another Linux o/s or does its partition manager overwrite everything?
- I have put another post for .exe drivers relating to the display/vga for 98SE and 2000.
- Just fyi, not all Linux distros seem to pick up on the monitor size, so this takes some work...
Many Thanks for any help.

The Protege 4000 is compatible with PC133 modules! As far as I know you can upgrade this notebook's RAM to 1GB (1024MB) and you could use these modules;
PC133 512MB (PA3108U-1M51)
PC133 256MB (PA3086U-1M25)
PC133 128MB (PA3085U-1M12)

You could create some partitions on the HDD using an 3rd party tool like Partitions Magic 8. I use this tool and it's really nice.
After you have created 2 or three partitions on the HDD, you could install different OS (operating systems.)

Have Upgrade Graphic Card Driver, But Still Cannot Adjust Screen Brightness and Sleep Button Not Showing After Clean Installation of Windows 8.1

I have done clean installation of Windows 8.1 on my HP Pavilion G4.
Then I realize that I cannot put my computer on sleep mode and cannot adjust screen brightness.
I understand that those problems caused by the graphic card driver.
My computer is running on AMD Radeon HD 6400 series.
Thus, I manually search on internet and found a latest graphic card update on microsoft site that is claimed compatible on windows 8.1 (link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn344644.aspx).
I've upgraded it into the latest one. I've check on Device Manager, the driver is running well.
But my problem did not solved!
Please give me the solution!

Hi,
How about go to Device Manager, then uninstall Graphic driver and restart your computer, system will install its build in graphic drver. You can have a try.
In addition, access to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Brightness and set its value to 100 for test.

Portege A100 - Need new graphic card driver in order to play games

I own a Portege A100 and I need to update the graphics controller in order to play some games.
My problem is i went to the download centre and the latest driver is currently installed in my notebook.
I have had this game running before but had my notebook reprogrammed and can't recall how to make it work.
Please help!

Hmmmm.....to be honest Portege is not notebook for gaming. Maybe for playing chess but for some graphic intensive games is definitely wrong notebook.
Anyway, the question is what you want to do.
Do you want to play some games or just to get old (already working) game to run again? Or maybe both options?

Updating graphics card driver for G5350uk

Hi
We have a G5350uk desktop. Serial Number: [edited Serial Number by Moderator] Product Number: XS612EA. Its running 64bit windows7 and internet explorer 8, which is no longer compatible with a number of web pages so we wanted to upgrade to ie11.
Except we can't upgrade because we don't have service pack 1 installed. Service Pack1 can't be installed because our graphics card driver is one of those that stops the windows update from functioning properly and detecting Service Pack 1.
So I tried to upgrade the device driver, but its says its the most current one, so I loaded the Intel untility which told me I needed to source the driver from the manufacturer.
So I came to the G5350 support page and allowed it to scan my PC. I get then get into a loop with the annoying message pasted below.
HP was unable to verify that you have this product, but did find other products.

Which is all very frustrating as i'm clearly searching for the right thing, the web site says it can't find what I'm looking for but then tells me its found exactly what I'm looking for! When I select the option suggested it just goes back around in the same loop.
I stil don't have an updated graphics card driver to get around the Service Pack installation issue and so still can't look at an increasing number of websites.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Mazrak, welcome to the forum.
This is the only driver that is available for your Integrated Video. You can't use retail versions of drivers for HP's Integrated Video.
I suggest uninstalling the current driver by going into Control Panel / Device Manager / Display adapters. Right click on your adapter and select "Uninstall". Then, you can install the driver that I provided and reboot. This may solve your problem if a glitch has occurred.

Hi:
Graphics adapters cannot be upgraded simply.
You would need to replace the motherboard with one that would have better graphics (if one exists for your model).
This would cost as much as buying a new notebook, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such an endeavor.

Graphical Card driver crush on HP Pavillon dv7-4175eb Windows 8.1 64bit

Dear support, users
I've recently formated my laptop and installed Windows 8.1 64bit on my dv7-4175eb. I have a problem with the graphical
card driver every time I install it, the system crushes and reboots automatically therefore windows 8.1 won't lunch(It shows
the advanced boot options screen) unless I use the refresh your pc or reset your pc options . I have an AMD Mobility
Radeon HD 5000 Series and I tried to install the driver in this link (http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/mobile?os=Windows%208.1%20-%2064)
Please Help.
Thanks

Hello,
I'm afraid it's not working, I tried to install it but unfortunatly the installer shows a package failure.
I tried almost every driver provided by amd support page but none of them is working.
please can you provide me with the correct driver for my machine.
Thanks

Full Screen slide show not functional since upgrading Graphics card??

Just upgraded to a geforce fx 5200 graphics card...now the individual full screen pic or the full screen slideshow will not function. Get Fatal Error C0000005 at Address: 6e310c01. Dumps me out of Photoshop album starter edition 3.0. I have about 1000 images in multiple groups, files, email shares, etc and need to be able to get back to functionality. This has occurred since installing the graphics card mentioned. Is the newer 3.2 version an "upgrade" to 3.0. If I download it will it overwrite the existing version and still have all of my photos in place? It's an option I am considering to try to get back to properly functioning. ANY I repeat ANY help would be appreciated...THANKS....

I have a Geforce FX5500 card & updated the driver for it, why I have no idea! Anyway the slideshow came up with some sort of major error & as I already knew using bang up to date graphics card driver stops certain old games working I rolled back the driver from the 23/4/08 (approx) version to driver version 6.14.10.9371 dated 22/10/06. Different card I know but an older driver may sort it.

Update graphic card driver

Hey, guys. I have a macbook pro with 330m nvidia card on board. I started to play Skyrim(a game) in windows 7 a few days ago. Knowing the graphic card driver is not updated, I have been always ponderring on if it worth a try to update the driver on my own, instead of waiting for Apple to do it. Basically, I am not sure about the risk. Will the latest official driver overheat my laptop? Also, should I install the whole package (including Physix and others), or only the graphic card driver? Anyone who have experience please help? Thx.

Boot Camp has been a great asset for we who desire to play PC games on our Macs. A problem I see emerging is the thinning down of the laptops. Faster chips and less space means more heat to get rid of. Because of this I think we are seeing some compromise in the Macs. Until the latest round of new models the MacBook Pros pretty much kept up with the gaming PCs in regards to the processor, graphics, and RAM.
Here is a comparison of what is currently available for maxed out 15" laptops from Apple and Clevo. I assume the compactness of the Mac precludes the use of the higher performing components.
2012 MacBook Pro Retina
2.7GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, 1GB GDDR5
2012 Clevo P150EM
2.9GHz Core i7-3920XM Extreme
32GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
NVIDIA GTX 680M, 4GB GDDR5
As an aside I have become an Elder Scrolls enthusiast. I started out with Skyrim in January and am still working on visiting all the places on the big map. I have also acquired Oblivion, Morrowind, and Daggerfall which are in various stages of completion. Here is what hardware I run them on. Happy gaming.
Skyrim - Clevo P150HM (2011) Win7
Oblivion - MacBook Pro (2010) BootCamp/Win7
Morrowind - MacBook (2006) BootCamp/WinXP
Daggerfall - MacBook (2006) BootCamp/WinXP

Upgrading graphic card on HP DC 8300 CMT

Dear HP,
I try to upgrade graphic card, on HP DC 8300 CMT (Intel® Core™ i7-3770 Processor, Intel HD Graphics 4000 )
with Nvidia Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti.
As stock power supply doesnt meet requirements, I installed an additional FSP Group Booster X5 450W.
Once I turn PC on, it reboots 3 times, and eventually it continues to use onboard graphic and windows 7 loads as usual .
like if new graphic card is not present. (not detected by windows)
Bios version is latest and particular option for disableing integrated graphic is grayed out- not accessible.
Is there any explanation why this happens ?
On DC 8100 sff It automaticaly disabled onboard graphic, altough it was low consumption Radeon HD 7750 Low Profile card, and there was no any problem.
Regards.

Hi:
Unfortunately in most of today's notebooks (including yours), the graphics cannot be upgraded.
I looked at the service manual for your notebook, and there aren't even any other motherboards with better graphics available.
You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, any but you can't do anything with the hardware.

What upgrade graphic card do i need for a early 2008 mac pro

I have a early 2008 Mac Pro. ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB is what i have now. What is a good upgrade graphic card to get.

The GTX 780 6GB runs fine on the dual PCIe internal power cables -- as does the GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7950. The same can't be said of the GTX TITAN or GTX 780 Ti or Radeon R9 280X -- all of which require an auxiliary power feed to avoid a nasty power down of your tower at the worst moment when too much wattage is demanded of the Mac Pro's factory power supply.
Did I mention that the GTX 780 with 6GB of GDDR5 matches the 6GB of GDDR5 in the TITAN?
The one fallacy to my 'sweet spot' award has to do with OpenCL. In case you hadn't noticed, the AMD Radeon GPUs smoked the NVIDIA GeForce GPUs running Photoshop's OpenCL accelerated Iris Blur filter and rendering LuxMark's OpenCL accelerated Room scene.
- http://www.barefeats.com
So depends on budget, whether you want a PC card for less but no "early EFI boot screen" prior to drivers loading, and what apps and needs you have.
The one thing for sure is that 2600XT should have been retired ages ago and even more so with 10.8.3 and above, it could be trouble or just... PITA/POS.
