What motherboard do you have? If you have onboard graphics, it's likely you have enabled the feature in the BIOS that has caused HyperMemory to become active. If I remember correctly ATI designed some of their chipsets with onboard graphics to do CrossFire with their onboard graphics and certain discrete ATI powered video cards.

Well i have a NVIDIA 6150 chipset... so Any AMD features would not be available. and when i installed the card it origionaly said that it acually had GDDR 5.

OH yeah,
i also checked the BIOS when this first started and the onboard chip is disabled.
