yosser_huges Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hey guys, im looking at buying a brand new graphics card to suit my new board. this one stood out http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0009PAY52/202-4330289-9876621?v=glance&n=560798 mainly due to the fact that im not that much of a gamer, i mostly play the old stuff, like command and conquer and theme park, run emulators etc.. Im using my onboard graphics at the moment, and its eating up 64mb of my ram, so hope to free this up. Will this card also eat my memory? Or can i set it only to use the ram when running games when needed. I have an pci-e slot with sli. also this card appears to be pretty cheap. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's set via the BIOS EDIT: The extra 128MB will need to be enabled, so it will be off by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
