    Quick question. Does ths W1N allow you to use hyper memory like the v6v or w3v?

    thanks,

    No.
    Hypermemory is a feature exclusive to the ATi PCI-E cards, basically the X--- series. The 9xxx series is on AGP, the bandwidth of which isn't enough to properly support Hypermemory (at any benefitical form anyways)

    Hypermemory is only utilized in the x600's now... I think bios' for things like the W2 will soon allow for hypermemory to be used on them as well..... just not as much. I'm to understand they are going to be allowing you to match your dedicated ram with system ram on x700 units..... Since most all x700's use 128mb of vram, you'll be able to total that out at 256mb. Like I said, I know this is going to be used in the months down the road, but I don't think the current bios in the W2 allows for it... I'll have to check it out.
