Guest JS Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Re: memory distribution No, the video card memory is for Video only. I'm assuming you meant to say: 1GB of memory on the video card. If you need more memory for the Windows OS See: http://www.crucial.com/ Use the Crucial System Scanner tool.

No, they are completely separate, and can not be transferred. The only time you can do such a transfer is if you do *not* have a video card, but have video support on the motherboard. In that case, there is no video RAM, but some amount of your system RAM (the amount is normally up to you) is devoted to video purposes. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup
