    Helllo guys,

    1. I spent quite few hours on this forum..i might say is a very good one...a lot ussefull info.

    My problem comes with the video card...i t shows me it has shared memory about 3g from sistem's ram beside the 1gb her's.

    My question is...there is any chance to remove the shared memory?

    And if it will decrese my sistem performance or it will increse it.


    2. My second problem comes with a 2D game called Muonline(mmorg game)(500mb game)
    It should not have any problem running this game coz this notebook is preaty powerfull.....but when ingame the FPS doesent pass 21/22fps....this is showed by FRAPS.

    And if there is a scene where many chars are on screen(battle) the fps go down on almost half...

    there is any setings on video card that might help?



    Thx a lot in advance
    Best regards.
    Vlad.

    1. AFAIK, you can't remove the shared memory. Basically what it is, is the allowable amount of ram that your GPU can access when it needs to. Chances are your GPU will not even access it even if you're playing a graphically intensive game and even if you do access the ram, it's only a small fraction of it. In day-to-day tasks, all your ram is available and you shouldn't worry about your GPU hogging up your system resources.

    2. I've never played Muonline before but I'd suggest reinstalling your graphics driver may help. Also check your temps in case your GPU is downclocking due to overheating.

    It might say it'll use some of your system RAM, but I highly doubt that the card is going to eat up 1024MB of dedicated vRAM. You should be fine.

    Out of curiosity, when checking your system RAM is it less than 4GB?

    That is kind of high temp. But as said do not worry about the shared RAM. It is not used and not the same as the shared RAM you might worry about.

    Edit: If impresie thinks normal on that system I might agree. I know little about that system. I have heard it runs hot.
