Shared System Memory

[vistasucks]

Hi,

Sorry if this topic has already been debated. Here is my problem. I installed a PCI Express graphics card of 256 MB and activated that card in the BIOS as a primary card. When I check the specs of the computer, I find out that the system still shares 224 MB with the internal graphics card.

my computer specs are:

Intel CORE 2 DUO
1 GB RAM
256 MB graphics card (e-GeForce 7300 GS)
Hard Drive: 320 GB
Motherboard : 4006160RIntel 945G Viiv

My best regards

Then disable the onboard VGA in the BIOS.

the only option to disable it from the BIOS is to set the PCIE as primary card and it's already done.

Try going into the Device Manager and disable the onboard video there. Keep in mind depending on the version of card you have, it may share the system memory as some of the 7300GS cards are TurboCache.

Hi XFXsupport
Thanks for your message. I already did that. I wish I could send or post a picture of the Device Manger to show you.

My best regards
