    Hey..

    i got two questions about the Nvidia GeForce Go7400

    1)Does it support DirectX v10 ?

    2)The one i got comes with 128mb dedicated and 256Mb shared (TurboCache). I just wanted to knw if i can control the shared memory (like just use 128mb from the turbocache) or if it is control by the PC automatically ?

    Thanks..

    1) sorry nope it doesnt, the nvidia geforce 8400M does
    2) sorry again, u cant control turbocache, its most probably locked in the bios and in vista its controlled auto by vista, in xp by the manufacturer :)

    It's not worth it to try and control the TurboCache because it won't make any difference. The Go7400 is not powerful enough to make use of more than 128MB or so of memory so any more isn't going to provide an increase in performance. See the GPU guide for further info.
