Shared Memory

Hi.

Can't say it's a problem, but I can't figure out how to lower shared memory
in my computer.

I got 3 GB ram, and vista shares 1279 mb with my graphicscard which has 512
mb which should be enough, I don't need 1.8 GB memory for my graphicscard,
and right now I only have about 1.7 gb for vista, I want all memory for
running vista.

Could someone help me out here???

Re: Shared Memory

For my Asus motherboard. I went to the bios.

BIOS-->Advanced-->Chipset-->UMA Frame Buffer Size

Select UMA Framne Buffer Size to the desired amount you want.

good luck.
