    Hello all, this is my first post here. I have been lurking around here for a while reading and learning. Now I have a question. I recently upgraded my video drivers. When I restarted my system I now have 256 video memory vice 128. I have also read that this is a waste since the x600 can't use that much memory. How do I get it to only use 64MB for hypermemory? This is driving my crazy. I can't get it back to 128MB no matter what driver I use. Is there somewhere where you adjust the amount of memory used for hypermemory? Any and all help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Hyper memory is fluid, the machine will take it when needed, so you're not actually wasting anything as it is.

    Thank you, I did not know that. I guess I can stop worrying about it now. I just knew that I was missing out on something. Thanks again
