I tried BIOS but couldnt change the settings in there.  Is there any way to do it in WIn XP?

THanks!

Never heard that you could, but it would be interesting to know.

You can’t change it. While it is shared it is also dynamic and so far I haven’t seen any way to change it. It’s 4MB standard but can dynamically grow up to 64MB if an application requests it.

You can get the details over at Intel’s knowledge base here .

If that is true, its possible to open it up, its just the fact the software doesn’t exist. I could possibly write something…but thinking about it, I would need to write something that would be able to fool the pc, but then leave the memory free…sounds tricky, but something to ponder.

Of course, playing devil’s advocate…why would you want to? It’s lot like we’re being limited in any way by the current implementation. The TR can access the maximum amount of memory the chipset provides and pre-allocating the memory probably won’t make things any faster anyways…otherwise Intel probably would have provided a way to tune it manually.

I say, if its dynamic, leave it alone.  You guys are sometimes too hardcore for your own good. :D

2 reasons that I could think of…

1. Just because.

2. I am not 100% sure if it works the way it should…for example, within a game, does it release the memory ontime? IMO it prob. waits until the buffer is full, and then opens more memory, leaving the game skipping for a minute. Unless it adds 2MB on top of whatever it’s using at all times.

Things to think about.
