And, the max is 2 gig; I thought it was 4. Also, though the ATI Radeon Xpress 1150 is integrated, doesn't it have 256 MB (or 128 MB, I've seen conflicting reports) of dedicated ememory or some combination of dedicated and shared memory, or is it all shared memory? Finally, I highly doubt this is possible, but is it possible to install a dedicated graphics card to override integrated graphics (I know this can be done in desktops, but Dell laptops)?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387251205527007698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-36067851037565278742007-02-12T08:59:00.000-06:002007-02-12T08:59:00.000-06:00Even if you max out your RAM for your integrated g...Even if you max out your RAM for your integrated graphic card it will not run as well as a dedicated card with the same amount of RAM.
