LLXX Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I know that on Intel integrated graphics the amount of video memory is adjustable, it might be the same for these nVidias. The amount of video memory that it's showing may be the MAXIMUM amount allowed/. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLXX Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 In that case it's probably considering the whole system memory to be the video memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puntoMX Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) The GPU can´t be OCed.If you set the BIOS to 128MB then with the latest nVidia drivers it will give you 128Mb in the nVidia display specs in Windows .EDIT: The only thing you can do is OC your internal/shared RAM, the GPU core will still be at 425MHz.
