ATI Hypermemory questions??

Comment:
does anybody know if there is a way to manually tweak the amount of system RAM that is dedicated to the video card with hypermemory or if this is even possible? I was just wondering?

I've never worked with one of those cards before & I've only read a little about them, but I believe the shared RAM amount is not adjustable by the user. But if I understand correctly, the card will only use the shared amount when needed. In other words, if you're just surfing around, your card will only use the "on card" RAM (usually 64MB or 128MB)...but if you play a game, the card will grab the extra it needs from the system to bring it up to 128 or 256MB (depending on the card). And I think there has to be a minimum of 512MB of system RAM for it all to work.
