Vista Home Premium and Video Ram

[skozzy]

I bought Vista Home Premium today, installed it and seems to use all hardware quite well, but I have poor quality full screen video with anything played, even my TV Tuner Card, so i looked about some of the settings and I see Vista allocates 256mb of system ram to the Nvidia FX7300GT which also has 256mb ram (making a total of 512mb).

How do I disable the 256mb of system allocated ram, I realy don't think its needed.

hmmm.. your video card is shared one or dedicated one? seems to be shared.. if it is so. then .. its cant be removed///

What's the total amount of RAM you have installed?

I got a bit flustered by this too when I saw it but after lots of reading I found it is shared memory and it will be shared between the OS and your video card
Say if your playing high end games doing a lot of video work then the memory goes to it and helps it, if your not, it goes to the OS to help with some other programs that might need some more memory

And the only way I have found to un-share your memory from being used by the video card is to swap your OS to 64 bit Vista as you most likely be using a 32 bit version ??

Hope this helps.
