| 27044 | 2001-12-09 01:32:00 | If my motherboard has onboard video (yes I know get a proper graphics card) if I up the memory from 128MB to 256 or 384MB will the amount of memory that is shared for the video increase. At the moment 8MB is shared which leaves it with only 120MB of memory. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-6VEML. Help much appreciated JM |
