    This is my first post from my new v2000z... anyway, i'm wondering how I can reduce the amount of memory allocated to my ATI video card (200m w/productivity ports). right now it's 128, and when i'm not doing any kind of gaming, i'd like to be able to reduce that significantly.

    thanks

    doesnt the vid card have 128mb by itself and then it shares another 128 making it a total of 256?

    No, that option is only available in the dv5000z and the dv8000z. The v2000z/L2000 have fully shared versions of the 200m.
