G500 BIOS sucks Increase Shared Ram

System:
Lenovo G500
windows 8.1 64-bit
1TB
8GB ram
intel hd graphic 4000
SO heres the deal->
Intel Hd 4000 is capable of running new games with low specs. It does not have a dedicated video ram. But that can be done by increasing the shared memory from system ram in BIOS. Heres the sad part BIOS doesnt support this. Other manufacture like dell, hp , asus have given this option in BIOS to increase shared graphic memory from 64mb 128mb 256mb.
Lenovo please upgrade BIOS

Intel HD Graphics are not meant to be game changers - It is good for business (Office Software) and streaming video (presentations), and watching movies (DVD, Netflix). Simple games - Mahjong, Card Games and similar software will run without issues, FPS and RPG and the like will suffer greatly not matter if you assign 256mb or 2gb of memory to it.
When Intel gets into the dedicated graphics cards it will be the same deal as they believe most notebook users are business people not gamers.
Either way you dish it up - go with a dedicated card for better game play. Even AMD's APU is better at gaming than Intel's HD line up.
Cheers.

No video configuration in bios to increase dedicated video memory

Hi guys! I have lenovo g410 running in windows 7 with bois version 3.05, how can I increase the dedicated video memory? I tried to do it in bios but there is no configuration there that will change it. please help. thanks!

hi ivangabayan,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
This setting (Memory Remapping) is set to Automatic.
changing it is not available like on most laptop,
Increasing the RAM can help on increasing the shared amount for the Integrated Graphics.

Can I install the G500s BIOS on G500s Touch?

Can I install the G500s BIOS on G500s Touch? Will it cause any problem? I want to update the BIOS because right now, if I want to press F1 I have to hold down FN and F1 which sucks for gaming and normal usage. I have noticed that the G500s model has received an update that enables users to make the F1 key the "real F1 key". However, when I check the G500s Touch page, there is no update for it.
I don't want to use that thing called "SharpKeys" to remap my keys. I don't want any 3rd-party program installed on my laptop just to fix my F1-F12 buttons, therefore, I want to know if it is safe to do. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Derek,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
As there is no BIOS update available for G500s Touch laptop, please install the update available for G500s Laptop. If it is not compatible will display an error message while updating the BIOS.
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards

I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.

I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.
From what I read, I have 2 choices: 1. to install OSX and then upgrade to Mavericks, but I'm not sure if this would be possible (to upgrade directly from OSX to Mavericks); and 2. to use a software called Super Duper.
I wouldn't like to have to use a third party software to do this, so the question is: is there a better way to install directly the Mavericks not having to use a third party software?

Install the new drive in the computer.
Install the old drive in an external USB or Firewire enclosure.
Boot the computer from the Recovery HD on the external drive.
Use Disk Utility to partition and format the new internal drive.
Clone your external drive to the internal drive.
How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the Recovery HD on the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the Recovery HD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
      the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
      is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the
      Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
      the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
      (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
      GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
      wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
      drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
      window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
      Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
      return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
      hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Using Disk Utility still opened.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

I want to increase the RAM of iMac?

Hi,
I want to increase the RAM of iMac 27"(Late 2013) to 32GB, is it possible to do the same?
If yes, then please let me know the steps to do it.
Thanks & Regards,
Ankush Madan

Yes, you can upgrade it to 32GB, most on this forum recommend two vendors OWC (www.macsales.com) or Crucial. If you are in the USA use OWC, if you are anywhere else then Crucial. BTW here is s link to show how easy it is to install:

HT3696 if i have a 15 inch Mac book pro 2009 model running 64 bit, can I increase the RAM to 8 Gig?

if i have a 15 inch Mac book pro 2009 model running 64 bit, can I increase the RAM to 8 Gig?

Yes.

10.10.1 I use sysctl.conf to increased shared memory. 10.10.1 does not read sysctl.conf anymore

I need to increase shared memory. In 10.10 is use /etc/sysctl.conf with a line kern.sysv.shmmax=16777216 and this works. Also in 10.9. But in 10.10.1 shared memory can no longer be increased from the default 4194304 by this means.
The question is simple: how in 10.10.1 does one increase kern.sysv.shmmax in a way that survives a re-boot

I have the same problem on my windows 2003 server but the
thing is that I have not been able to get the same error on any
other machine including a windows 2003 I installed on VMWare on the
same machine. I have narrowed down to where in the encoder this
happens. The encoder uses page file backed file maps to register
session information. The call to MapViewOfFileEx method of the
Win32 API fails with the "access denied" error. Whatever it is,
it's due to some defect in the Windows installation I have because
I do not get that message on any other windows installation even
the ones I do with the same windows CD !
I am still trying to find out what the defect might be but I
thought you should know it's got nothing to do with you Windows
make and model...it happens for me on 2k3 and for you on XP...so
you should looke elsewhere..

After increasing the RAM in Database CPU 80% used.

HI,
We are currently running EBS 12.0.6 ith database 10.2.0.3 multi node env (this is production)
After increasing the RAM in application from 8 to 16 GB and in database from 16 to 24 GB, I start the database and my database running normal but when I starts the application services then CPU Utilization goes upto 70% to 80%, and my all users are seriously facing very bad recponse.
I have no idea what is happning in our system, but when I revert back the RAM's to 8 GB in application and 16 GB in database my application and Database working normal.
Please assist me???????????

Thanks.

HI,
I have checked the kernel-hugemem as:
# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-smp-2.6.9-67.EL
kernel-hugemem-devel-2.6.9-67.EL
kernel-devel-2.6.9-67.EL
kernel-doc-2.6.9-67.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.105
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-67.EL
kernel-xenU-devel-2.6.9-67.EL
kernel-2.6.9-67.EL
What is the meaning of above output, I mean have already kernel-hugemem rmp installed?
If yes then why the system not using it.
When I had install 24 GB RAM, my OS detect it and also show the RAM 24 GB (checked by free command), but my Database was having high CPU after increasing RAM 24 upto 24 GB.
So, Should I install this rpm "kernel-hugemem-2.6.9-67.EL.i686.rpm"?????

Increased Shared Pool size longer hot backup time?

Hello,
I have hot backup that usually took 2 hours to complete. Then we had to increase Shared pool size from 280Mb to 380Mb due to some performance issue.
One week after increase of size the hot backup is taking 4 hours to complete. Since there was no other changes to the system I am suspecting size increase
of Shared Pool from 280Mb to 380Mb might be is reason for such drastic increase of backup time.
I would like to get your comments on my suspicion to the problem.
thank you

When a SQL hits the SQL engine, the 1st thing the SQL engine does is determine if there is an existing parsed and ready-to-use copy of that SQL. If there is, that existing SQL is re-used - thus the name SQL Shared Pool. The resulting soft parse of the SQL is a lot faster (or should be) than a hard parse . A hard parse is where there is no re-usable copy, and the SQL needs to be parsed, validated and execution plan determined, etc.
Kind of like re-using an existing compiled program (with different input data) versus compiling that program before using it. (and that is what source SQL is - a program that needs to be compiled).
Okay, now what happens if there 100's of 1000's of SQLs in your shared pool? The scan that the SQL engine does to determine if there is a re-usable cursor, becomes pretty slow. A soft parse quickly becomes very expensive.
The problem is typically clients that create SQLs that are not sharable (where the input data is hardcoded into the program, instead of input variables to the program). In other words, SQLs that do not use bind variables.
Each and every hardcoded SQL that hits the SQL engine, is now a brand new SQL. And requires storage in the SQL Shared Pool. Shared Pool footprint grows and you start getting errors like insufficient shared pool memory.. and increase the shared pool which means even more space to store even more unique non-sharable SQLs and making soft and hard parses even more expensive.
Like moving the wall a few metres further and then running even faster into it. !http://www.pprune.org/forums/images/smilies2/eusa_wall.gif!
Now if the backup fires off a load of SQLs against the SQL engine, the fast soft/hard parses can now be a lot slower than previously, thanks to a larger shared pool that now caters for more junk than before.
Unsure if this is the problem that you are experiencing.. but assuming that your suspicion is correct, it offers an explanation as to why there can be a degradation in performance.

Can i increase my ram capacity on macbook air 11 inch

can i increase my ram capacity on my macbook air 11 inch

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro with Retina display have got the memory soldered onto the logic board, so you can't add or remove memory after buying the computer. This only happens with those computers, and you can add or remove memory in the rest of the Macs

How do i increase the ram in my macbook air

how di i increase the ram from 2 to 4 gb

More relevant to the question is that there are no expansion slots either.
Once you have purchased a MacBook Air with the memory configurationit was built with, it has all the memory it will ever have,
Lesson: Buy with the max memory available. Currently 4 GB.

I would like to increase the ram to the maximum that my compaq presario cq57-450ea notebook will all

I would like to increase the RAM to the maximum that my Compaq Presario CQ57-450EA Notebook will allow, it currently only has 2.00GB.
I would be most grateful if you could provide me with the information, including any product code so that I may order the correct item which is compatible with my machine.

I've not found the option to increase shared memory of intel hd graphics card in BIOS

Hi! I don't find that option. I have the 2.08 version, but the 3.01 is out there. The graphics performance is not very well now. Is there a way to increase this memory to 256 mb or more? Thanks in advance

hi freinn,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
This is on Auto by default.
The amount of memory shared to your graphics is dependent on how much RAM you have. Also even if you max out the RAM capacity there will no big jump on the shared memory just few MBs will be added
The Manual is not available even if there is an updated BIOS.
Even if a Manual option is available still you can only share the same maximum as the one on Auto. Not a big jump.
i hate to say it but that's how it will be
Hope this helps
