Hi,

If its possible, then I'm guessing it'll be by allocating at least 8Mb (in your case) to the "AGP Aperture size" in your BIOS.

This effectively "adds" the main memory to your card and is handled by DMA on the motherboard (I believe). Its slower, though.

You must have an AGP card to do this. If its not an AGP card, then I dont like your chances.

Cheers,
Tim.

If your video is integrated on the m/b then you can share your system memory with the video. The option to change how much system memory to share with the video is in the BIOS setup, probably under advanced or onboard peripherals area of setup. Ifnot integrated, then you will have to upgrade your video card to one with more memory.
