    I have upgraded lately to 2gb of ram in my a8jm. But now when i go to dxdiag, it tells me my 7600go card is 1gb, 512 dedicated, 512 shared.... lol wtf?
    I dont know if that happens after installing vista or before though...

    Plus, I am getting some lag lately when using vista. Ive disabled aero but it didnt really help (in fact aero works actually faster (if i am not gaiming))
    When i go to task manager, it tells me that my memory is 2gb, 1500mb cached, and around 0-20mb free (wtf?). But on the graph, it tells me that the system is using 800mb of the availble memory.
    I am getting some strange reading seriously since i got vista....

    Morever, i have tested the hotkeys on the laptop, and the one with the little music note on it (that opens media center) looks to be stocked cause the green light on the laptop is always open for it. And when i change display between my 19inch lcd and the laptop display, media center opens 3 times in a row, its annoying.
    I have the atk driver for vista, but atk doesnt seem to be working well on vista.

    anw, i hate vista... i want xp back or maybe ill try soemthing new, linux by instance
