Hey group!
So what's the deal with this "shared" video RAM? I think I read somewhere that this slows system performance. If so, why? It seems like Windows should be able to be set to just ignore a portion of RAM.
In other words, is a system with 64 megs of SRAM and 8 megs of SHARED VRAM any worse than a system with 56 megs of RAM and 8 megs of dedicated VRAM?
