Comment: Ok, I have a Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family inorder to run my games... It runs most games okish, however when I check how much memory its using it always does the minium it can possbily have to run the spplication. I check the intel site but they are very vgue about cahanging the minium memory that it should use. However they keep banging on about this thing called DMVT which is the OS telling the Chipset how much memory it wants it to use.
And theres the problem, for example I used to play CS: Source but recently couldn't becasue of this new PC. However I looked at how much memory it was using while I was playing (at 10 FPS lol)and it was 27 MB.
Is there a way to change the minium it uses to 128MB!?
Please help!

Reply: (edit)Buy a 'real' video card & install it. Onboard graphics suck for gaming. Try looking in the BIOS to see if you can allocate more RAM toward the graphics. And you shouldn't be looking at the Intel website for that info...you should be looking in your user's manual or the HP website. ASUS A7N8X-X
Athlon XP 1800+

Reply: (edit)Even a $30 card will destroy that onboard video card. There's also a very good chance increasing the video RAM in the BIOS won't increase your frame rates. Bottom line: You need a video card! Please help survivors of Hurricane Katrina.www.redcross.org
