Roger rqms May 06, 2002, 06:20 AM its what it says in the manual m8 duffy90210 May 06, 2002, 09:27 AM How much system memory do you have on board ? rqms May 06, 2002, 12:21 PM 376mb ram rqms duffy90210 May 06, 2002, 12:25 PM I would guess you really have 384MB of memory onboard, and the VGA is now sharing 8MB from the total, the memory size for onboard VGA are normally set in the BIOS, Direct-X and video drivers really has not much link with the memory size. Try looking in the BIOS setup, they are normally hidden under the options. HTH rqms May 06, 2002, 02:33 PM sorted - finally found it in the bios, frame buffer size, now using the full 32mb, you would not beleive the number of times i have been through all the bios settings, we all live and learn - many thanks to those that took the time to help me out - whos a happy boy then rqms duffy90210 May 06, 2002, 03:51 PM Yes, its one of those things in life, you can see them everyday when its not needed, but come time you do, they just hide from you :) |
