| 402390 | 2005-11-06 13:08:00 | Hi, I've just bought a Toshiba M40X-250 with a Ati Mobile Radeon X600 SE 265mb Hypermemory graphics card. It has an internal 128mb and ATI and Toshiba say that it also uses 128MB shared from the ram memory?! But I can not see how I can adjust this so that it does use the shared 128MB. I looked in the BIOS for AGP settings but I can't find it. Does anybody know a solution. Or does it automatically uses the 128mb shared memory? Thanx, Thomas from Antwerp, Belgium |

Thanx, Thomas from Antwerp, Belgium This is a new solution based around PCI express. Nvidia martek their's as hypercache. I have not seen it personally, but I expect the graphic driver will take the memory when inside windows, so you might want to look at your advanced display properties to see if it's in there. |

Well now I'm interested, I've had a look and I have the same graphics adaptor on my laptop here at work. It sounds like you know a bit about this, could you explain how I am not missing any system memory after a clean boot of windows? If the memory has been assigned to the graphics adaptor before the OS starts then there should be a discrepency visible. I could speculate that the laptop has 128MB welded on to the system board for only the purpose of supporting the graphics card, but that would defeat the purpose of the cost cutting exercise. There are no options in either the graphics card properties or the BIOS to view the amount of system memory assigned to the card. That is why I suggested that the driver might claim it when a 3d application is started. Can you explain? |

| 402394 | 2005-11-07 21:48:00 | I would say that the video chipset has its own dedicated ram and that the thread starter has misinterpreted his system configuration.Allocating system ram to be used by a video chipset that has its own ram will only cause system slowdown. You still cant allocate memory via drivers or Windows (apart from the swap file, which isn't ram). If their is an option to allocate more ram to the video chipset it will be in the bios. |
