Ok i dont have a graphics card ( No agp slot ) and thus my pc uses the default intel extreme graphics controller ... my motherboard is 815E
This controller can have upto 32 MB. originally it gave me 4 MB only and then i tweaked bios a bit and i got 8 MB but how can i get it to 32mb.
By tweaking i mean i turned on video caching
A friend has the 845 series motherboard and he can clearly see a setting to say how much he wants his controller to use ...
I know that it uses the ram to work as a GC. I mean that it takes a few MB out so windows will show a few MB less. Thats fine with me cause i have 256 MB SD ram and i have 108 MB ram to spare at any moment. So i dont mind losing a few MB.
Can someone help cause the help will be greatly appreciated. I can play so many games
Btw .... Dxconfig shows that i have "Approx Graphic Memory = 32 MB" So thats my max capacity.
EA's "EAsy Info" shows that i have 8 MB so thats how much i actually have

OMG, never thought of that, i have the chipset 810E on my other PC, logically integrated video too with 4MB, and I was thinking to buy a GeForce4 PCI Version, if it still exists....it's an option, and I think it's the best one, because changing the MB you'll need to change probably the CPU too, of course it won't have the same performance like a AGP card.
