Toshiba Laptop Memory Reviews & Tips

Toshiba Laptop Memory

By Iskandar

Generally speaking any laptop can be upgraded. Look at your owners manual or go online to determine what parts can be replaced. Normally you can upgrade your hard drive and memory but unless you know how to do this you should take it to a professional. When it comes to memory you are probably better off using genuine Toshiba memory but hard drives that are made by other manufacturers should be ok but you need to check your manual for compatibility. The screen for a laptop is not upgradable. If you need a larger or higher resolution screen then you currently have then your only choice is buying a new laptop.

If you have an integrated video card (most likely) you may be able to allocate some more shared memory to the video by simply adjusting a setting in the BIOS. You can find out how to do that in the system manual. However, many BIOS config program will not allow you to allocate more than a certain percentage of system memory, so increasing your total system memory might allow you to set a higher percentage of shared memory to the video adapter.

However, if you have a dedicated video card, it would have it’s own memory built into it, and therefore you wouldn’t be able to increase it, short of replacing that video adapter entirely with one that has more memory already on it.
