    Hi i was just wondering how to reduce the ammount of system memory that my 8600gt is borrowing from my system. i know it is taking 768MB roughly cos it states 1gb. i assumed this was done through the bios but couldn't see any option to reduce the ammount.

    thanks

    It automatically throttles itself and takes what it needs when it needs it. You don't have to do a thing.
