    I have a gateway mt3423 with nvidia geforce go 6100. It has the ability to use 256MB of system memory. How can i change it to use 256MB? After a clean install of Vista and all drivers updated, i am only using 64MB of the system memory. I would like to use the full 256MB that it should be able to do. I have 2gb of ram so sparring the 256MB for video would be great.
    Can someone give me some help.
    Thank you.

    I thought these settings were somewhere in the BIOS. There you can determine how much RAM you give to the GPU. At least thats how it works with the GMA 950.

    yeah that's what i thought too. But when i go into the bios, I can only select up to 128MB. Just wondering if anyone else with a mt3423 has been able to use the 256MB it say's it has avaiable.
