quote: thats what i thought. tbh, i can remember seeing something in the bios/registry to allow the use of RAM when your graphics card ram is used up (during gaming). AGP Apereture rings a bell, but i dont think its that tbh | |

There is nothing stopping xp from using more than 1gig of physical ram. | |

getting over 10k is the tricky bit Bart, as it takes an X1900XT or Geforce 7xxx in SLi to breach 10,000. i would like to see a purchasable computer than can bust the 13k mark other than this one... | |

with 2GB of RAM, i dont think the HDD will affect speed much when it comes to graphic rendering... | |
