T43 ATI x300 memory...

#1 Post by polityk » Sat Apr 21, 2007 8:25 am

I have a T43 with ATI Mobility Radeon x300 64MB and read w few times that it is possible to increse video memory using RAM memory...
I have 1GBof RAM and using some of it for the Video card would be nice...

The porblem is that I don't see such an option in my bios...
I updated to a newest version and still nothing...

Is it possible only with certain models to use RAM as additional video memory ?

The way it works is that the video card driver increases the memory dynamically when it is needed, allowing the GPU to use up to 128MB of total RAM (256MB in other models). But this all happens automatically and you don't have (nor should have) any control over it.
