    Okay, i recently bought a toshiba M105-s3004 which i am/was very happy with. I recently upgraded the bios from v1.6 to v1.9 via the toshiba support site. Now my graphics card (which is fairly weak anyway) shows that it has a maximum of 64mb of memory. It is a intel gma 945. I am fairly sure it was the bios upgrade because this is the only change i have made recently. It used to show as 128mb in dxdiag and the intel chipset utility. I do understand that the memory is dynamic and the size depends of the computers requirements, but it shows as only being able to handle a max of 64mb now. So weird..... Am i going to have to go to the toshiba service centre and get my bios flashed back. I did find one similar thread on this forum. Any1 else ever heard of anything like this?
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated,
    Seb

    Yeah, I have the same problem. I'm not sure what to do. I may return it, or install a previous bios version.
