    Extreme graphics setting question

    I just upgraded ram in my Emachines M5105 to 512. The control panel settings says that I have 480 meg of ram available, so I assume the other 32 is used for the video. But under the Extreme Graphics folder in the control panel, it says I have 64 meg of ram for video. Which is right? Do I need to do a system setting to really have 64 meg of ram reserved for the Extreme Graphics adaptor or is it done automatically. Greetings from North Dakota. Thanks for your input. Ziggy

    The mobo will determin what the right amont should be set to by how much ram is instaled... if you only have 128 I belive it will only use 32 megs 256 I think is 64 Perhaps 512 is 128? I'm not shure but I do know its automaticly done! I so hated my emachines!
