How to increase the shared video memory on Portege M100

I have a Portege M100 and I would to increase the shared video memory. In the technical documentation: shared video memory 16-64MB
I have 768MB of RAM
but can't do it in the Bios or Windows.
where i can do it ?
(i'm french, sorry for the bad english)

Hi
I have also noticed that on units with Intel graphic chard it is not possible to ser shared memory usage manually and it works automatically. On units with ATI graphic card manual selection is possible.
Why is 16 MB in usage and not more, about that we can just speculate. If you want try to check Intel page. As far as I know they have very good explanations for own technology. Maybe you will find something there.

How can i Increase the shared vedio memory

i have hp cq 268tu.it's user manual explain it can increase its vedio memory but i cant do it how can i do it? in win7 win areo
can't activate....what can i do.....plz help me

The Shared Vedio Memory is controlled by the graphic card driver. The intel Graphics use Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) for dynamically allocating system memory for use as graphics memory to balance graphics and system performance. The Graphics memory is allocated based on system requirements and application demands (up to the configured maximum amount). When memory is no longer needed by an application, the dynamically allocated portion of memory is returned to the operating system for other uses.
Checking your system specs, I see that it can run aero without any issues... I would suggest installing graphics driver from here and check...

Shared video memory is not wrking!

Hello, I just purchased the HP Pavillion dv7-1135nr, with the "ATI radeon HD 3500" graphics card with shared video memory and 2.0 ghz amd turion x2. Since the shared video memory can go up to 2 gb, I figured it would play half life 2 with ease. But I was wrong, it is lagging when I play the game! can you please tell me a way to increase the video memory manually? Thanks a lot for your help.

Well I have posted this many times over the years but the basic mistake is to equate video storage with video power. All the video memory in the world does not help if the video engine is not powerful enough to move the pixels.
Check This
The ATI Radeon HD 3200 (not 3500) that you have is a low power video chip. You are not the first to make this maistake and typically the sales people at Best Buy, etc. and even the advertising does not make it really clear that you are getting a business and entertainment video system, not for gaming.

The current version of Mavericks is 10.9.4. To update yours download and install OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
You can upgrade RAM to the maximum your model will support. That would be:
Maximum Memory
16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
Memory Slots
2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Using Activity Monitor to read System Memory & determine how much RAM is used
OS X Mavericks- About Activity Monitor
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

How do you increase shared video memory?

I own an iMac with 256mb of shared video memory and have been dying to find a way of making the computer use more of my 8gb of RAM for video memory than it currently is (specifically for an improved gaming performance). Does anyone know of a way? Thanks in advance.

Shared video memory? What's that? Your computer has ram, your video card has ram. You can change the amount of ram in your computer. But your video card is what it is. It cannot be changed.
I think what your want is more ram for your computer. Go to OWC to see possible choices for your model. You don't have to buy there if you don't want (but I always recommend them). But at least you will see what choices are available to you.

How to adjust shared video memory size - R10/R600 Win7 Prof 32bit

Hi,
I use two laptops in business - R600 and R10. Both with Intel 4500 graphic card and shared video memory. Both win Windows 7 Professional 32 bit. In both cases system reserves 1159MB for video memory. As I don't play any games I have no need to waste such a huge memory amount - I would like to free as much as possible for system and programs.
For trial purposes I installed Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. Surprisingly it reserves only 199MB for video memory - so it looks like OS issue.
Does anybody know how can I decrease the video memory size in Windows 7 32bit?
Regards,
pab 567

As far as I know this cannot be done manually and shared memory is controlled by system.
If you dont use it for gaming I dont see any problem there. I dont know what kind of activity you do with your notebook but I cannot imagine there is no enough memory for every day activities.
Is there not enough power for certain operations or what?

How to disable Shared Video Memory on Qosmio X870?

Hi,
I find that when I use certain software packages (mainly CAD) then my video ram remains untouched. I cant seem to disable the shared system memory - which I believe is part of Nvidia Turbocache.
Some websites and forums say that one can disable this in the BIOS is the manufacturer has released a BIOS drivers which would allow this - this does not seem to be the case at Toshiba.
Is there another way I would be able to disable this setting. This Toshiba Qosmio x870 was purchased as we needed a notebook with a high end (class 1) graphics card. Unfortunately it seems to be under performing.
I have tried to set all setting in the Nvidia control panel to Max Performace but I am still not getting the software (Micromine) to run properly.
I would appreciated any suggestions or support from this form.
Kind Regards,
Jrgen

Yea I know what you mean. Toshiba support for these kind of issues seems non existent. I think this kind of problem can also be attributed to the way Nvidea optimus tech runs on laptops. It controls which graphics chip is being used i.e between on board and dedicated and has been know to cause issues in some programs - maybe something to look into?
Sorry you can't fix it :( I'm no guru and I'm out of ideas unfortunately....
Good luck!

How to increase the size of sort_area_size

Hi,
Many Thanks Charles
Oracle does not recommend using the SORT_AREA_SIZE parameter unless the instance is configured with the shared server option. Oracle recommends that you enable automatic sizing of SQL working areas by setting PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET instead. SORT_AREA_SIZE is retained for backward compatibility."
--How can i know the instance is configured with the shared server option or not?This might be a tough question to answer. A shared server configuration may be enabled, but the clients may still connect using dedicated sessions, in which case PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET would still apply.
From
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2088.htm
V$SESSION includes a column named SERVER which will contain one of the following for each of the sessions: DEDICATED, SHARED, PSEUDO, or NONE. As a quick check, you could query V$SESSION to see if any sessions are connected using a shared server connection.
From:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/manproc.htm
There are several parameters which are used to configure shared server support, as well as several views to monitor shared server.
As Robert mentioned, when the WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY is set to AUTO, the SORT_AREA_SIZE setting is not used, unless a shared server configuration is in use.
--What default value is WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY and SORT_AREA_SIZE ?From:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams157.htm
"Setting PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to a nonzero value has the effect of automatically setting the WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY parameter to AUTO. This means that SQL working areas used by memory-intensive SQL operators (such as sort, group-by, hash-join, bitmap merge, and bitmap create) will be automatically sized. A nonzero value for this parameter is the default since, unless you specify otherwise, Oracle sets it to 20% of the SGA or 10 MB, whichever is greater."
Actually I am facing performence issue since long time till now i did not get the solution even i have raised SRs but i could not.When the issue occur system seems hang.what i monitored whenever hdisk0 and hdisk1 use 100% the issue occur.
Regards,
SajidWhen you say that you have had a performance issue for a long time, is it a performance problem faced by a single SQL statement, a single user, a single application, or everything on the server? If you are able to identify a single user, or SQL statement that is experiencing poor performance, I suggest starting with a 10046 trace at level 8 (wait events) or level 12 (wait events and bind variables) to determine why the execution appears to be slow. If you have not yet determined a specific user or SQL statement that is experiencing performance problems, you might start with either a Statspack Report or an AWR Report (AWR requires a separate license).
If you believe that temp tablespace usage may be a contributing factor to the performance problem, you may want to periodically run this query, which will indicate currently in use temp tablespace usage:
{code}
SELECT /*+ ORDERED */
TU.USERNAME,
S.SID,
S.SERIAL#,
S.SQL_ID,
S.SQL_ADDRESS,
TU.SEGTYPE,
TU.EXTENTS,
TU.BLOCKS,
SQL.SQL_TEXT
FROM
V$TEMPSEG_USAGE TU,
V$SESSION S,
V$SQL SQL
WHERE
TU.SESSION_ADDR=S.SADDR
AND TU.SESSION_NUM=S.SERIAL#
AND S.SQL_ID=SQL.SQL_ID
AND S.SQL_ADDRESS=SQL.ADDRESS;
{code}
The SID and SERIAL# returned by the above could then be used to enable a 10046 trace for a session. The SQL_ID (and CHILD_NUMBER from V$SESSION in recent releases) could be used with DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR to return the execution plan for the SQL statement.
You could also take a look in V$SQL_WORKAREA_ACTIVE to determine which, if any, SQL statement are resulting in single-pass, or multi-pass executions, which both access the temp tablespace.

Shared Video Memory Configuration?

I have a laptop Lenovo B490 5935-6014, Intel Core i3 3110m, 4GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 4000, using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
How to adjust shared video memory? I think shared video memory is too large (1696MB).
I tried going to BIOS setup and I saw nothing about that...
Can you help me???
Sorry for my poor English
Thanks.

hi AnonymousK,
Welcome to the Forums.
When you check system properties, are you getting a Total Memory: 4GB (2328GB Usable) or similar?
- if this is your case, the problem might lie on the system's BIOS. By default, the system automatically allocates all the physical RAM that it could use but if you have integrated graphics, this BIOS automatically share and allocate some of the RAM to the GPU to improve its performance.
- If you don't have a memory remmaping feature in the BIOS that controls how much RAM is allocated to the GPU, this is most likely a limitation of the system.
Another thing is the Physical Address Extension (PAE) that the OS uses to utilize system memory. Since you're using a 64bit version of Windows, this feature is already enabled. In some cases, you need to use a PAE Patch to correct the total memory reported above.
Best regards,
neokenchi

How to increase the battery life of your N series ...

What I am about to post here is valid for any 3G phone or device regardless of model but it is particularly focused towards the N series devices and their power hogging features.
Your battery life is dependant on many many things. How often you take calls on the device, the condition of your battery, the features you use on the device and so on and on. Therefore it is impossible to say that by following the information in this post you will get x amount of days battery life, but it will get you more time out of the battery than you otherwise would have got.
So with that out the way, if your looking to increase your battery life then follow these tips and your battery should start looking a lot healthier.
First of all lets start with THE big one. The one that is going to save you the most juice. Switching 3G off.
Yep, you heard me right. Just by switching the 3G capability of your phone off you will add hours and hours to your battery life. How is this so? Allow me to explain...
Due to the rather poor delivery of 3G in the UK by the network operators, it is rare for any 3G phone to maintain a constant 3G signal. Instead you will find that the phone constantly flips between 3G and GSM mode (Keep an eye on your signal one day). Even those of you on Vodafone who probably have the best 3G network coverage will find this is the case.
Unfortunately, this constant flipping between the two modes sucks power from the battery like a vampire as it alters its reception state for the different modes and the constant flipping is..well...causing it do this constantly! It can sometimes even make your phone unavailable for calls for very brief periods as it trips from GSM to 3G and vice versa.
If you need to use 3G for video calls or whatever then I'm afraid your just going to have to live with this but if you don't (And lets face it few of us do) then you can switch 3G off and increase your battery life considerably.
To do this, go into the "Settings" application (Found in the menu somewhere, by default Nokia normally stick it in "Tools"), and then to the "Phone" tab. In there you will see an option that says "Network mode" and you have a choice of "GSM" or "Dual Mode" (I.e. UMTS and GSM). Set it to GSM and your phone will restart. Once it restarts it will be working in GSM with GPRS speeds only but really for most purposes this is fine.
You have now just extended your battery capability considerably. You can further extend it by going to the "Connection" tab, going into "Packet data" and changing it to "When needed" so it is not constantly checking for a data connection.
The second big change you can make is to turn your phones wifi scanning capability off. The last time I looked not all Nokia's phones that have wifi capability can have their wifi cards switched off entirely but if you can, turn it off except for when you need to use it. Wifi is a power hog.
The next big change you can make is to lower the screen brightness settings on your phone. The less bright your screen is the less power is being used to light it up. Nokia by default leave the screen brightness at something like 50%. Lowering this a bit more will conserve more juice. Before you do this though please consider the fact that lowering the brightness setting will have a big impact on your ability to see the screen clearly in sunny conditions although you will be fine in the dark as you can't lower the brightness that far.
To lower the brightness, go to the settings tool in your phone and into the display option (Hidden in a subcategory called "Personalisation" on the N95). It won't hurt to set the power saving time out to 1 minute and the backlight time out to 10 seconds while your here (Although these are the Nokia default so they should already be set to this).
Finally in regards to the screen, although they may look pretty, animated screensavers use more battery power than the standard blank screen with time and date so avoid them if you can.
It also helps to keep Bluetooth switched off until you need it although the power savings are minimal in comparison to the other changes but every little milliamp counts!
Using the above methods I generally get about 3 to 4 days with about 3 hours talktime on my N95 without using Bluetooth, GPS or anything like that (I might be able to get more but so far I have not paid attention to the battery state before I put it on charge). If I am on a long train journey I can get about 4 hours worth of full screen video and about 2 hours talktime over the period of about 24 hours before it needs a recharge. As I said at the start of the post your mileage will vary greatly depending on how you use your device.
Hope this helps.

no keffa it is a cop out from nokia

the n95 battery is atrocious
dont change the post content as the title is 'How to increase the battery life of your N series device'
your talking about nokia phones specifically
the networks are not to blame
they do not make the handsets : Nokia do !!!!!!!!!!
I'm going to choose my words carefully here...
I would never deny the battery on the N95 is not really up to the job of powering the N95 with its power hungry features. To put the same battery into a phone that has WiFi, GPS and a large 320x240 screen, the same one that goes into the E65 which has comparatively nothing compared to it is a bit pants.
However at no point was I criticising them for the band hopping problem. I labelled the post as how to increase the battery life of your N series device because this is a board for the N series devices. It was a simple choice of wording and not intended to be cutting in any way and I did make a remark that the details would be true of any 3G device at the top of the post.
What I was trying to point out in my second post is that the constant band hopping the phone is being forced to do that is draining its battery so much more quicker than it would if it had a constant signal of one kind or another isn't quite Nokia's fault.
They build it to conform to a laid out specification for 3G. However if the network operators cannot be bothered to roll out their 3G infrastructure adequately enough that the phone can find and remain locked onto a 3G signal that is usable then what are Nokia to do other than offer you the capability to turn 3G off until you need it (Although note to Nokia: That **bleep** reboot the phone does when you do this is entirely unneeded and you know it).
Blaming Nokia for this would be like blaming the manufacturer of your radio for failing to pick up radio because the radio station does not have any transmitters within range of your radio's receiver.
Finally...this band hopping is exhibited by all 3G phones built by Samsung, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, etc, from their most budget 3G model to their priciest piece and is the reason that all phones with 3G capabilities have batteries that do not last for any respectable length of time because these phones are also having to band hop between 3G and GSM.
Finally the proof is in the pudding. Turn 3G off for a few days. See your battery improve. Then (Although admittedly this will be harder to do...mcuh harder) find an area where you get a fairly decent 3G signal constantly. Again, see your battery improve. Try it with a different 3G phone...different manufacturer even. The same will be true.
So I stand by my comment, the network operators and their woeful 3G rollout are the villains costing you a fair chunk of your battery and Nokia cannot be expected to mitigate this....but a better battery would be nice all the same...

Can any body suggest me how to solve this.....
Thanks in Advance..
Kasi Chukka

Hi Kasi,
Your question is not very clear, from the looks of it, the load on your client's system will be doubling soon.
You need to look at the system stats on how the system is handling the current load, use transactions ST06, ST04 and ST02 to check if the DB hit ratios are as expected, the cpu idle time, the busy periods. Identify if there is large amounts of paging on the server(candidate for increase in real memory).
On AIX level, you will need to look at CPU / Memory usage.
On SAP Application server, you need to look at SAP Buffers.
On Oracle end, look at SGA stats, if it need to increase, the data growth that is current and estimated growth (DB02).
You will not get an exact answer to it, you will need to analyze the existing load and then estimate (guess). The hardware upgrade will also depend on what the client is willing to spend, its always a good practise to add 20% to what you have estimated as these figures are never accurate.
All the best.
Cheers,
Nisch

How to Increase the # of Recently Opened Files in DW CS6 ???

Can anyone please give a detailed instruction on how to increase the number of Recently Opened files in Dreamweaver CS6? I have read the forums everywhere and do not see a solution here that works. For me there is no: Menus/MM/File_RecentFiles.htm
I mean I have a "Menus" directory but no "MM" directory inside that... also, if I create one... I still need a sample "File_RecentFiles.htm" to copy. Or maybe someone knows another solution?

I don't have DWCS6, just DWCS4 and DWCC. When I go to Program Files(x86) > Adobe > Adobe Dreamweaver CC (or Dreamweaver CS4) > configuration > Menus > MM > and then open the file named "File_RecentFiles.htm" at either location, this is the code...
