    Hi guys,

    I recently upgraded to 2 gig of ram and to vista ultimate x64 on my HEL-80. When I ran dxdiag it said the "Total Approx Memory" was 744mb, I also looked at the advanced display settings and it says it has 256mb dedicated ram and 495 shared. Is this normal? And is there any way to lower the amount? I had a look through the bios but I couldn't see anything. I am using the 100.65 drivers.

    Thanks.

    I could see it being some sort of nifty "buffer" system with DX10... sort of like the AGP Arp (desktop BIOS configurable) which is generally ruled to be 2x your video ram.
