Thinkcentre M73 SFF graphics and ram

Is there any way to change the amount of ram from main memory that the onboard graphics uses?
if not will it increase if I increase the amount or ram?
in most cases with onboard graphics you can adjust the amount or ram used in the bios, but not with this thing.

Dude, perhaps you should read what you're posting:

The best place for obtaining information about your computer's specific configuration is from your computer manufacturer. Your computer manufacturer may have altered features, incorporated customizations, or made other changes that may limit or reduce the actual maximum graphics memory amount possible for your computer.
Note that they do not say increase.    
Computer manufacturers can change the amount of graphics memory, but only to the downside.   Lenovo cannot double the amount of memory that the Intel processor allocates for graphics, that's set in silicone.  
Run GPU-Z, that will tell you how much memory is in use.

  • Information on ThinkCentre M73

    I'm looking at a ThinkCentre M73 SFF part number 10B7S09S00. It has a G3220 3.0 GHz processor and 2GB of RAM. I've been trying to find a specific manual for this product but all the models seem glommed together in one manual.  If anyone has one of these, how do you like it?  What op system did this originally come with?  How many sata ports are there?  Does it have USB 3.0?  Does it have a HDMI port? 
    Thanks,
    Al

  • [M73-SFF] - multiple sleep mode problems

    My new ThinkCentre M73-SFF will not enter into sleep mode.  It also will not stay in sleep mode when I manually put it into sleep mode. It regularly would go into sleep mode when I first purchased it but not so now.  I have searched on the net but cannot find any solutions.  I have disables the screen saver thinking this was a problem but it did not solve the problem.  Anyone know of a solution?
    Moderator comment: Subject edited to match content.

    THANK YOU @someotherguy for explaining the problem. This solved all my issues, also for a newly bought laptop. The more recent Windows 7 updates solve the issue by subsuming the fingerprint manager update under the system updates. I know this because it's definitely a different version of fingerprint manager from when I first bought the device last week.
    Nevertheless, this is far more useful and informative than the helpdesk chat support personnel I spoke to.

  • I am looking to upgrade my macbook pro 13". I have a new logic board and have searched for the spec on this i.e. hdd size and ram. will my 2009 screen work with a updated graphics card ??

    Sounds just like what was happening with my Alum MB. I took it in and they replaced my battery. It seems to be ok now. I don't know what it is, but my battery was fine before 10.5.6 and the same timeframe of the firmware updates when they came out.
    My battery health was jumping around but was fine before all of this happened. Unfortunately at 381 cycles I don't think you have much chance of getting the battery for free. Perhaps you can complain about the battery saying it was fine until 10.5.6 or whatever. Not sure when your computer was made, but perhaps you are eligible for this program: http://www.apple.com/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/

  • Role of graphics card, processors and ram in conversions?

    Does anyone know what role if any a computers graphics card, processing power and ram has in the quality of conversions? I don't mean cases where a computer is unable to run a program (or handle a conversion in a reasonable time period). I mean will the same conversions (same settings, files, formats) look better if done on more powerful computers. I'm using final cut studio and downconverting from HD to SD using quicktime and converting from PAL to NTSC using compressor.
    my specs are 2 2.6 processors, 4 ram,
    graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 512MB of GDDR3 SDRAM and dual-link DVI

    What compressor settings do you recommend?
    The best workflow I've come up with is qucktime conversion from HDV PAL to SD 10-bit PAL, then compressor conversion from 10-bit Pal to DVDPR0 50 NTSC.
    By coincidence I decided to try the initial conversion (HDV to 10-bit) this morning on compressor (but I didn't change the frame rate; i didn't know they were relavant for HD downconvert; I only been change them for the PAL-NTSC conversion).
    At first glance, the compressor 10-bit conversion doesn't look better than the quicktime conversion (due to the frame rate settings?). I don't know for sure because I haven't sent it back to compressor for PAL-NTSC conversion and on to DVD SP.
    One issue I'm worried about is the dimensions. quicktime's 768 x 576 (preserve aspect ratio checked; letterbox selected) was the only dimension setting that produced a film that looked right (on the dvd; it's squished in final cut). I don't see that option in compressor. I suppose I could type it in the frame size boxes.
    Anyway, I would be most grateful for answers to these questions. I've spent a few weeks on this and am past the point of frustration. I just plod along, zombie-like, trying a few different things every day, dimly hoping to hit the jackpot eventually. Actually, I've been planning on trying to downconvert using my HDV/DV deck (print to tape in HDV; then change settings to downconvert and capture as DV). Would that help?
    how do pro studios handle downconverting? What kind of hardware do they use? I'm an independent filmmaker, working on a small budget for the time being, but eventually, once the film is over and (hopefully) I have more money, I'll be willing to pay for a good pro conversion. Do you know what that costs? The film will be 80 minutes long.
    thanks again for your help.

  • Upgrading graphics card and ram on late 2011 macbook pro?

    Hi. I have a late 2011 macbook pro, and I wanted to know if i could upgrade my graphics card and ram for better performance while gaming. I play WoW and diablo 3 and often notice lag and can only run on low settings. So my graphics are Intel HD 3000 which is integrated, and i was wondering if i could upgrade to a graphics card like AMD or nvidia. Also, would upgrading from 4 gb of ram to 8gb of ram help my performance? Thanks.

    You cannot upgrade the graphics card on your MBP. It is soldered to the logic board.
    RAM can be increased to 8 or 16 GB.  The correct specifications are;  204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    The best vendors for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
    Ciao.

  • Graphics Card and RAM ???

    Hi, i Have a HP mediacenter Pavilion a1606n, i am a bigg gamer but my computer sucks at plaing most new games, i suspect that the Graphics card is out dated, or i dont have enough RAM, but when ever i play a game (ex. Hitman Blood Money) it is very slow and does not display any of the walls or floors (this is with the settings set on low), what can i do to make my computer play games better???

    Graphics card and RAM are the two components to upgrade when you're looking to play games. I checked the specs on your computer - you have a PCI Express x16 slot, which means you can use any of the most recent graphics cards in this particular system. You also may want to pick up some DDR2 RAM to upgrade the memory. And depending on which graphics card you upgrade to, you may also need a new power supply as well. Most Best Buy stores carry all of those components, so head to the store (you can bring your computer with you if you'd like Geek Squad to install the parts for you) and ask a Geek Squad Agent for advice on what to do with your computer.

  • Slow FPS, graphics and choppy video when connected to a Mini-DVI cable to external monitor on Macbook Mid2007 4GB RAM

    Hi,
    I have a Mid-2007 Macbook white. I have upgraded its memory to 4GB. Snow Leopard was working great, and I said to myself maybe it's time to upgrade to Lion.
    After the upgrade all was well. However, a big problem occurs when I plug in to the Mini-DVI display port with the HDMI adapter, to connect to my Sony LCD HDTV. The whole graphics and video slow down, everything is choppy. Quicktime and VLC video playback is strobe and choppy looks like very low Frame Rate. Cannot watch anything, not HD nor low resolutions. The entire computer is slow when the cable is connected.
    Things I tried:
    *VGA adapter seems to work fine - it's the digital display output that probably causes that.
    *Running it through a new user.
    This never happened on Snow Leopard. i'm considering to go back. However, I am wondering if there is a way to fix this minor problem.

    Update:
    We solved the problem. Weird solution but now it seems to work. I plugged a VGA adpater and played with the screen rsolutions to try and watch a movie well on my LCD screen. I changed the screen resolutions but I couldn't revert back to the default settings. Pressing "Detect Displays" didn't do anything.
    Here is the interesting part: When I placed back the DVI-HDMI adapter, suddenly everything worked fine!!! There was no choppy videos, no low fps, works prefect.
    Something weird is going on here, but I'm happy I managed to get the DVI to HDMI to work because I was about to removie Lion and bring back Snow Leopard.

  • Graphics and Fullscreen Mode

    Has anyone had problems with graphics and Fullscreen mode?  I have a .png to show what im talking about if that helps. and also if it helps i had just gotten out of full screen mode.

    Need a liitle more clarrification on what the problem is.
    Most graphics would open in Preview by default.
    Is that a Desktop background?

  • Can I buy MBP WITHOUT HD and RAM preinstalled?

    Hello everybody.
    I might buy a MBP in the near future, we'll see about the update and everything.
    I want to know, if I DO choose to buy a MBP, is there any way I can buy it WITHOUT a hard drive and ram preinstalled? This is because as soon as I get it, I plan to install my own SSD (128gb) and Ram (2x4GB).
    I want to save a little money because if I buy it the way it is now, I would have to opt for the lowest spec hd and ram and swap them out to upgrade.
    I'll reinstall snow leopard, then install WIN7 via bootcamp.
    *** am I gonna do with those spare parts? Sell them? Too much trouble, I don't want to get them in the first place.
    So, is there any way?
    If not, Apple should COME UP with a way.
    If so, then TELL ME.
    -Leo

    Leo,
    My comment was as follows, with emphasis this time:
    "and then added ~$1000 for 2x4GB DDR3 RAM and a decent SSD"
    As you say, it is approximately $400-500 for 2x4GB DDR3 and $400-500 for a decent SSD. I'm well aware of that and, with taxes, adding those numbers will give you approximately, as I said before, $1000.
    First of all, you've already mentioned that it's entirely their fault. So why must I suffer for their ignorance?
    You're missing the point entirely. It is their fault, but Apple will be the one that suffers when they all call and demand to know why their new computer isn't working. Most people, when confronted with two options that appear to be exactly the same (remember they aren't technically savvy) will choose the cheaper one every time. For this reason, Apple (who is selling the machine and the license to use OS X, remember) will have to pay for technical support for all those people. Not a very smart business plan.
    Second of all, ignorant people don't turn to Apple at first glance
    I know a lot of people who use Apple products precisely because they are much easier to use than any Windows PC. And, I would say that the vast majority of the population falls into the "technically non-savvy" group. You and I are part of a very small minority, whether you like it or not.
    Concerning your view that apple's reliability would go down, they should come out with a compatibility list.
    Why would Apple put so much time and energy into testing thousands of hardware permutations to cater to perhaps 5% (10% would be very generous) of their customers? Answer is that they haven't, and they won't. It makes no sense for them, financially. Period. And people would still probably complain if the SSD they really want isn't on the list. It is a lose/lose for Apple.
    Should I ** up, I would not blame apple... I'm no noob... I'll deal with it... I will buy the MBP "AS IS"
    That's exactly the option you have right now. Buying the MBP as is, or not buying it at all.
    This scenario can be avoided completely by burying this "advanced" option deeper in the site.
    And yet I bet you that thousands of people would still find it and mistakenly pick it because it's cheaper, without knowing what they're actually doing. Everyone likes to think that they're "advanced". It doesn't mean that they actually are or that they know at all what they're doing.
    there are those "technically challenged" people out there... However, let's analyze, who are they?
    As I said above, at least 50% of the current population with the financial capacity to purchase Apple products are probably "technically challenged".
    Either they are old, or they're noobs. Apple do not target either of those audiences.
    Honestly, I don't think you really know who Apple targets. I don't claim to know either. I like to think they target almost everyone, or they try. There is no reason why an old person or someone who has never used a computer could not or would not want to use a Mac.
    Again, as I said above: Buy a Mac with the processor and graphics configuration you want, and then sell off the stock parts if you want. Or don't, and build what you really want. There isn't currently, and probably never will be, the alternative that you're looking for.

  • IBook for Graphic and Web Design

    Hello,
    I'm thinking of buying my sister's iBook (since she doesn't really use it). I was talking to a mac rep about using the iBook for Graphic and Web Design purposes and I wanted to get other people's opinions on how Adobe Creative Suite and Dreamweaver have performed in other people's iBooks.
    Thanks!

    Running a lot of applications simultaneously, or a few high processing type applications such as Adobe's is what takes up RAM. OS X utilizes Hard Drive available space to make up for memory (RAM) deficiencies. This will "slow down" a system's ability to manage the files. So if you like to multiple applications opened at the same time, buy more RAM. Personally, 1 gb ought to be the minimum for today's systems.
    By contrast, a computer's processor, including logic board, video board, etc. are the engine of the system. The iBook has a small engine. So no matter how much RAM you feed it, it's still going to operate like a small engine. If you want more processing power, you would need to purchase a more powerful notebook (eg Power Book) or a more processor oriented machine such as the Intel iMac or Mac Pro.

  • ThinkCentre M73 Restarts When I Shut It Down

    Here's a strange one.  My ThinkCentre M73, Windows 8.1, just purchased last week, restarts after I shut windows down.  And it's not because I click the "Restart" button.  When I click Shut Down, it shuts down, and then in about 3 seconds it starts up again.  Any ideas?

    Thanks for the hint.  I could not find any wake checkbox on the network adapter configuration, but I have a "Wake" set up in Windows Home Server 2011 when it tries to back it up.  I will check that and let you know.  Thanks.

  • Unrecognized Graphics and Resolution

    I installed some Steam games and BF3 onto my recently bootcamped iMac and the games tell me that my video card is inadequate. I flew over to CanYouRunIt? and everything checks out except for my "Dedicated Video Ram" which apparently I have 0.
    I also can't get the right screen resolution for my 21.5" iMac. The maximum available resolution is 1440 x 1050 while my screen is 1920 x 1080.
    My computer's specs are as follows:
    3.60 GHz Intel Core i5
    4 GB DDR3 RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 5670 512 MB Graphics Card
    When looking through my System Info for my graphics, much of the information is "not available". My guess is the drivers are out of whack but even after updating those, nothing changes.

    Resolution, Graphics, and Audio issues have been resolved. Here's what I did:

    Double click "amd_catalyst_12.1_preview_windows_vista_7.exe  "
    Walk through install wizard
    Restart your computer
    When you boot into Windows your resolution should be the immediate change (from your previous setting to the monitor's native resolution. Mine was 1440x1050 and changed to 1920x1080.
    Try booting up a game and everything should be fine. The guide above was originally published by a SWTOR forum user "ineidzcode" (http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=105045).
    IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING LOW FPS... (once again from ineidzcode)
    I didn't have to do this on my 2011 21.5" iMac.
    Download 1 (AMD Boot Camp Drivers)*:
    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...camp-win7.aspx
    Download 2 (Newest Catalyst Release)*:
    http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownloa...b_win7-64.aspx
    *These downloads are for my setup.  Radeon HD 6770M on Windows 7 64 bit.  To find your downloads, visit here. First install is your setup using MAC Graphics as a system (Step 1) and Boot Camp as a product (Step 2) followed by your card specifics. Second download is your selection as if you were on a native PC with Windows.
    After you have downloaded the drivers you need, follow these instructions:
    Uninstall drivers Boot Camp installed
    Control Panel -> Device Manager
    Drop down "Display Adapters"
    Right click "AMD Radeon HD 6770M" (or your AMD card) and select "Uninstall".
    Restart
    Install Boot Camp Display Drivers
    Unzip your Boot Camp Display Drivers
    Control Panel -> Device Manager
    Drop down "Display Adapters"
    Right click "VGA Adapater" (adapter name may vary)
    Select "Update Driver Software"
    Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
    Navigate to your unzipped folder of the Boot Camp Display Drivers (my location was: Downloads\8.812-110104a-112011C-Apple.4-Win7Vista\8.812-110104a-112011C-Apple.4 -Win7Vista
    Make sure "Include subfolders" is checked and hit Next
    After Windows finishes the install, restart your computer (if it doesn't ask).
    Install Catalyst Mobility
    Simply install the "Catalyst Mobility Suite" (the latest drivers released from AMD, Download 2) and you should no longer get the error you were seeing before.
    AUDIO FIX
    I experienced zero audio output from my iMac's speakers with limited output using headphones.
    Insert the installer disc for Snow Leopard while in Windows
    Open the "Bootcamp" folder
    Open the "Drivers" folder
    Open the "Cirrus" folder
    Double click and install the "CirrusAudioVista64" driver (or what is applicable to your system)
    Restart your computer
    If these steps don't work, uninstall the current driver by going to your Device Manager in Control Panel.
