Qosmio F50-10M - Difference between 32bit and 64bit BIOS

Hello,
I use WindowsVISTA-32bit SP2, and my BIOS is up to date (2.0 32bit I suppose). What are the differences between 32 oder 64 bit version of the BIOS? What would happen if I flash fw of BIOS to 64bit altough using VISTA32 and vice versa?
I think about changing to a 64bit system (propably Win7 Ultimate OEM or LINUX), does it make sense changing?
Thank you guys in advance!
Yours,
Stamind_1

> But what would happen if I change my OS from 32 to 64bit without updating the BIOS, or if I change back from 64 to 32 after updating BIOS to 64bit? Do I have to expect difficulties/errors?
Nobody would be able to say what would happen!
Usually you should not notice any serious hardware problems but possibly the notebooks parts like cooling modules, WLan, or other functions like multimedia control buttons would not work as it should.
If there is no other BIOS then you have to use the one which is available on the Toshiba European driver page if there are more BIOS versions for different operating systems then you have to use the one which has been designed for the certain Windows OS.

  • Stupid question: Difference between 32bit and 64bit 10g Client?

    We have an application (Informatica 8, 32bit) for which the vendors claim they only support a 32bit client. Oracle does not ship a word-size specific client for 10g. This leads me to believe that 32bit vs 64bit is really innocuous and perhaps irrelevant. For my own curiosity, is the 10g client (not Instant Client) actually 32bit or 64bit?

    Hi,
    Note that you can always run 32-bit apps on a 64-bit client . . . . .
    There are separate clients for 32-bit and 64-bit instant clients:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
    Instant Client for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
    Instant Client for Microsoft Windows 64-bit Itanium
    Instant Client for Microsoft Windows (x64)
    Instant Client for Linux x86
    Instant Client for Linux x86-64
    Instant Client for Linux Itanium
    Instant Client for Linux AMD64 (32-bit and 64-bit)
    Instant Client for Linux on Power (32-bit)
    Instant Client for Linux on Power (64-bit)
    Instant Client for z/Linux (32-bit and 64-bit)
    Instant Client for Mac OS X (Intel x86)
    Instant Client for Mac OS X (PPC)
    Instant Client for Solaris Operating System (SPARC) (64-bit)

  • Difference between 32bit and 64bit Weblogic 10.3.3 Installer

    Hi,
    I would like to understand what is the difference in terms of files/libraries in 32bit & 64bit installer of WLS10.3.3.
    We have installed 32bit WLS10.3.3 and would like to upgrade to 64 bit version of WLS ( OS is 64bit Linux). If we just update the JDK to 64bit, will it work. Or do we need to include some more libraries WLS installation.
    Would appriciate suggestions in this regard.

    Since you are connecting via JDBC that shouldn't be a problem.
    I have no issues connecting a Weblogic Server running in a 32bits host to a Oracle database running in a 64bits host.
    Cheers,
    Vlad

  • What's different between 32bit and 64bit ?

    Hi all,
    What's different between 32bit and 64bit for Oracle Database 10g Release 1 ?
    such as "Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2) for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)"
    and "Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.2) for Microsoft Windows (64-bit Itanium)"
    Thanks

    What's different between 32bit and 64bit ? oooh, about 32 bits ;)
    what is different between (x64) and (64-bit Itanium)This really is the short of question google could answer better but in a nutshell Itanium is the Intel 64bit chip (AKA the Itanic, due to its troubled history). Whereas x64 is the appelation given to AMD's 64bit Opteron chips; I believe x64 was coined by Microsoft but Sun use it as well.

  • Qosmio X70-A - difference between nVidia and Toshiba GPU driver

    Is there any difference between the nvidia display driver and the one packed by toshiba?
    I've been using the one from toshiba but Geforce Experience is giving me a headache with warnings about a newer driver and toshiba doesn't seem to supply one.

    Yes of course there is a difference between the nVidia GPU drivers (or any drivers provided by graphic card manufacturers) and drivers provided by Toshiba.
    The GPU drivers from Toshiba driver page are modified and made for mobile usage.
    Every notebook model supports different components (CPU, cooling modules, etc) and different design. Therefore the heat dissipation is always different.
    The GPU driver provided by Toshiba supports some kind of GPU overheating protection and protects the graphic chip from damage. This means that GPU performance is controlled by the driver and in case the internal temperature would increase to critical level, the GPU performance would be decreased. Also the notebook shuts down automatically if temperature would be too high.

  • Export & import between 32bit and 64bit windows

    I need to move a schema over from a 32-bit windows machine to a 64-bit windows machine.
    both machines are network mapped,
    so
    I exp it out from 32 machine
    copy and paste from 32 to 64 machines
    then imp into 64 machine
    and get this error

    Import: Release 10.2.0.1.0
    help please.

    Are you using original exp/imp or data pump?
    exp/imp should be able to handle 32bit to 64bit transport.
    It's either your dump file got corrupted during transfer.
    Or your database server is not same version as your utilities. Please verify and post your Oracle server version.

  • Regarding 32bit and 64bit libraries

    Hi,
    Can any one please clarify my quries below.
    1) What is the difference between 32bit and 64bit library.
    2) How to identify the 32bit and 64bit library? Is there any naming convention fallowed?
    3) From which version onwards of Sun Studio, 64 bit libraries are supported?
    Regards,
    Vignesh

    The platforms suppported by Sun compilers have both 32-bit and 64-bit modes of operation. The two modes cannot be mixed in a single program. A 64-bit platform can run 32-bit code, but not the other way around.
    On the supported platforms, 32-bit mode is known a ILP32, meaning that types int, long, and pointer are all 32 bits. 64-bit mode is known as LP64, meaning that type int is still 32 bits, but types long and pointer are 64 bits. (Other systems, not supported by Sun compilers, can have different definitions.)
    The 64-bit mode of the processors supports different instruction sets. The amd64 processor also has different register sets. The layout of objects is different in the two modes, and the way functions are called is different. (There are other differences as well.)
    A program compiled in 32-bit mode must link to 32-bit libraries, not 64-bit libraries, for reasons which I hope are now obvious. A program compiled in 64-bit mode must link to 64-bit libraries.
    The Sun compilers automatically link to the right library version of system libraries, as long as you use consistent options when compiling and linking. For example, you could build a 64-bit sparc program this way:   CC -xarch=v9 -c f1.cc
      CC -xarch=v9 -c f2.cc
      CC -xarch=v9 f1.o f2.o -o myprog The 64-bit version of the various system runtime libraries will be linked automatically, given the -xarch=v9 option on each command line.
    If you create both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of a library of your own, you must arrange to name them differently or put them in different subdirectories. If you give them the same name and put them in differrent subdirectories (which is the convention for system libraries on Solaris), you can use different -L options at link time to point to the right directory.
    You can use the Solaris "file" command to find out whether a program or library is 32-bit or 64-bit.`
    Example, this time on a Solaris Opteron system:
    % file /usr/lib/libCrun.so.1
    /usr/lib/libCrun.so.1: ELF 32-bit LSB dynamic lib 80386 Version 1, dynamically linked, not stripped, no debugging information available
    78% file /usr/lib/amd64/libCrun.so.1
    /usr/lib/amd64/libCrun.so.1: ELF 64-bit LSB dynamic lib AMD64 Version 1 [CMOV], dynamically linked, not stripped, no debugging information available

  • Qosmio F50-10M: how to deactivate touchpad?

    Hello guys,
    usually I use a USB driven mouse to operate Win7. While writing text I often get in contact with the touch pad unwanted.
    As I cannot identify the appropriate device within the hardware manager I am not able to deactive the touchpad while using the mouse.
    There a lot of HID (Human Interface Devices) without a unique identifier.
    How can I deactivate the touch pad or is there a way of deactivating automatically while plugging the USB mouse?
    Thank you for your help!
    Yours,
    Starmind

    Dear Xardas,
    thank your for your answer.
    Unfortunately, there is no Synaptics driver shown in control panel which could be removed. How can I do this?
    The only driver recognized by the system seems to be the Alps Electric driver.
    Did you test using the VAP from the Satellite L500 on a Qosmio F50? Checking downloads on that model there pops up a lot of different types (of that model), for example L500-ST2521, L500-ST2522 and so forth. What version could work proper for my Qosmio F50-10M?
    Checking possible downloads for TVAP and Windows7 64bit there are six different downloads offered. For instance there two different download links for version v1.2.27_64 same size of file named "Toshiba Value Added Package for Windows 7/Vista (64).
    Then there is
    "Toshiba Value Added Package for Windows 7 (64) v1.2.26_64;10-07-2009"
    Which are the differences of those files?
    Couldnt I install one of those files? If so what file should I choose?
    Your help and your answer is highly appreciated.

  • Satellite A350D PSAKCE - Bios 32bit and 64bit update

    Hello guys.
    I need to upgrade my A350D PSAKCE bios. But I don't know what is the difference between Windows_BIOS_Package_V330_1 and Windows_BIOS_Package64_V330_1. Which should I install? I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit edition.

    Hi
    Usually you should not get any serious issues if you would downgrade the OS to 32bit and will still use the BIOS 64bit. But in some very rare cases some features like FN buttons or similar would not function very well
    It could be also possible that only 3.2GB RAM would be recognized due to 32bit OS limitation
    So in your case I would stay with 64bit OS.

  • Difference between 32 and 64 and why is 64 your preference

    Hi, can someone please explain the difference between 32 and 64 bit and why the 64 is a preference for some of you? I'm more concerned about peripherals and printers working with Vista Ultimate on 64bit, before purchasing and installing CS4 onto a new computer. Thank you.

    Bear in mind that to run 64 bit you need (a) a computer able to do
    this and (b) the 64-bit edition of Vista (not the normal one).
    Good things:
    * Can run 64-bit programs that use more than 2 GB (Photoshop CS4 will
    be one of these).
    * Can use more than 3 to 3.5 GB of RAM in total
    * Each program can use up to 2 GB (if available)
    * The excess is available for cacheing disk
    Bad things
    * Driver and software availability needs checking. Little things may
    not work (e.g. in Acrobat, PDF preview in icons). Or big things.
    * 64-bit applications will need 64-bit plug-ins
    * Less mainstream, overall support may be more limited if things don't
    work.
    * 64-bit programs are a little larger and use a little more RAM than
    their 32-bit equivalents.
    Myths
    * "64 bit programs will go faster than 32 bit programs". Myth, unless
    the program can make use of more than 2 GB of RAM.
    * "All programs will go faster in 64 bit Windows". Myth, unless the
    extra memory you can use reduces the amount of disk operation.

  • TNS Timeout Error with both 32bit and 64bit drivers installed

    I have a server running WIndows 2008 64bit and SQL Server 2012 64bit. I have both the 32bit and 64bit Oracle ODBC drivers installed. 32bit is for SSIS and SSRS uses 64bit. I have an ODBC connection setup for both the 32bit and 64bit. I have the datasources setup for the 64bit and when I test it it works. When I go to run a query I get TNS timeout errors. Any ideas?

    Thank you very much, Curt!
    It's right: When the 64bit version is running, then the PSDs will be opened by this.
    But the configuration under "Bridge Edit/preferences/file type assoiciatons" has the same result as under the "Windows/Systemcontrol/Standardprograms": Never they show the name "Adobe Photoshop.exe (64bit)" - only "Adobe Photoshop.exe" In both cases (Bridge and systemcontrol) I have the possibility to choose the "right" Photoshop.exe by going to the right file (32bit OR 64bit), but the name of the .exe is ever the same: Only "Adobe Photoshop.exe". There is no difference.
    And so even if the 64bit version is preferred (in Bridge), the PSD-files will be opened in the 32bit-version, when no one of both versions is running.
    But - so or so - you have given me a way to solve my basic-problem!
    And when I find the time for experiments, I will show what happens, when I rename the 64bit-exe to "Adobe Photoshop64.exe" to get two different filenames for Photoshop in the Windows-System. (I'm not shure if this will function: When in the Photoshop-System are intrinsic lnks/references to "Photoshop.exe", then I will have no success! Therefore I have to make a HDD-Clone with the whole Windows-System, all Apps and my Working-data before I try to rename. Perhaps there is "no way back to the activation" after renaming the .exe ...
    Thank you and kind regards,
    Oh-Mann

The empty String is just another object though, so seeing it or pointing it out as something special when it actually isn't at all (no more special than new Integer(0) or new Object[0]) just adds to the confusion.

  • Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

    Hi,
    Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
    Thanks,
    Satish

    I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD.  I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.
      data: filename type string.
      filename = p_file.
      call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
             exporting
                  filename                = filename
