Shared memory

Postby expat » Mon Aug 27, 2007 3:04 am

Can some one please explain to me in small easy to understand words [smiley=laugh.gif] what the following is and what it does please. The reason is, I have a GeForce 7300 SE 512mb. Can I disable the shared RAM with this setting so I do not loose 256mb of my "normal" RAM

VGA share memory size. (BIOS setting)

Thanks

Matt

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Typically the 7300LE has a 128MB of memory on-board but has the ability to 'share' memory with your RAM.

Thanks for that and the small words. I think I understand enough to have a fiddle about with it. :D
