I recently just built a new pc using new and old parts.

My new parts include the AMD A6-5400k Apu, MSI FM2 A55m e33 motherboard, and ballistix 1866mhz ram. Now the problem is that when I check my system property, 800 mb of ram is not usable.

Does this ram go to the APU to be shared? If it is, how come systemrequirementslab.com stated that I only have 16mb of video ram. And this is shocking since I heard this apu is enough to play league of legends.

Now I don't know how to change shared ram because I can't find an option in my bios. My bios looks different than my old pc, it is click bios (colorful).

Can someone help answer these noob questions?

I think max memory it can ready is 1gb and why would you want less more is better.

dunno if system requirement lab reads it im guessing not as its probly looking for dedicated.

if unsatisified get a a88x micro atx this would cover you for kaveri in future and allow for 2gb to be shared max


yes it can play league of legends with correct board a55 isnt designed for sharing a large chunk of the apu a75 shares more usually 2gb of memory

look for intergrated graphics or graphics adapter or vga memory

Well I just installed amd vision and the drivers and it said my apu is using 768 MB? It's great now, but now I have 2 questions.

Does system requirementslab.com read apu memory? Because it still states 16 mb for me even though the system says 768.

Can I lower my memory down to 512 somehow?
