X1300 shared memory
Right, after a bit of searching I discovered that even though Dell advertises the X1300 in the Inspiron 6400 as having 128mb memory, but when its really 64mb and takes the other 64mb from the system memory (i.e. Hypermemory)
Now, I've been getting very very sluggish performance in any game I've installed. Some of the games are a couple of years old now, so can't believe it can be that bad.
After looking at the display properties for the X1300, it says the following:
Total Available Graphics Memory: 827mb
Dedicated Video Memory: 64mb
System Video Memory: 0mb
Shared System Memory: 763mb
Could it be because of Vista its struggling? I know the card isn't much cop anyway, but it should be capable of running some stuff better than it is.
Also, on another note, the Catalyst Control Panel has decided to stop working. I fixed it last time by reinstalling the whole Catalyst driver set. Don't want to bugger around with that everytime.
