ATI X600 woes......

Broodingrage · Mar 12, 2006, 04:41 PM

I've just updated to the newest Omega drivers and tools and just discovered that when i ran the [Hardware] -----> [System Information] tab, I found out that the "Installed Memory" was only 128 mb but the card is itself a 256 mb card. When I ran the same test on my other PC with a ATI 9800 xt, its states that there indeed 256 mb installed. Am I missing a card setting?

Are you sure your X600 isn't doing HyperMemory or whatever that's called? (Where the card uses system RAM and the VRAM). I'm not sure if that feature is even availabe on desktop cards, but who knows...

It's Hypermemory.

What laptop? If it's one of those emachines or Gateways...it's almost certain.
