    Hi, all,

    Just noticed that on my vostro 1400(XP pro), the 8400M GS showed up as with 256M integrated memory, how come? :confused:



    Also, when dragging windows, the display is really sluggish, even slower than my old Pentium III desktop, could that be a driver issue? What version of video driver would you recommend for XP?

    Thanks a lot.

    It has 128 MB of dedicated memory. In addition to, it can have up to like 1 GB of shared memory (with the proper amount of RAM anyway).
