M57U hypermemory settings on X1600

I ran a search for Hypermemory in this forum section but couldn't find anything.

My Clevo's X1600 appears to be one of those hypermemory efforts. The on-board 128MB is perfectly good enough for me, I'm not exactly a power-user, but I'd like to know how to change the hypermemory settings.

I've checked the system BIOS and there's nothing I can find even under "advanced chipset features". I checked CCC but found nothing so far. I've also looked in powerstrip which claims my memory card has 630MB system memory available but I can't find a way to change the allocation.

Any ideas?

Thanks

 

On older ATI cards (9100 IGP!) I recall that the frame buffer could be adjusted by going (XP):

Right-click desktop> Properties > Display settings > Advanced Settings

Then a series of tabbed option panels for ATI settings would come up.
This may be obvious info to you, I just thought I'd throw it out there. Have you tried the similar advanced settings in Vista?

 

Thanks for the reply Bog!

I am running XP.

I've tried that, there's nothing in there apart from a tab to open Catalyst Control Centre which I've already looked in.


Also I am running the latest mobility Radeon Drivers from ATi.


Windows reports the card as being 512MB but gpu-z claims 128MB which I presume is the on-board, the other 384MB being hypermemory. It's not taking that 384MB though as windows would report my system memory as 1.67GB or something but it's reporting 2.0GB.

 

Hmm, if its not there then I'm not sure whether it is an option at all; otherwise I just don't know where it is.

 

There must be an option somewhere, unless it's dynamic? If there weren't the hypermemory would be entirely pointless.

 

Hypermemory is dynamic; of that I am certain, but perhaps it could still be manually set by the user.

 

I thought nVidia turbocache was dynamic but Hypermemory was not?

 

Link!

Confirms that HM is dynamic. I've never heard of Nvidia users trying to set their TurboCache to a set value, though. Maybe it isn't user controllable at all.

 

That explains everything!

Thanks for your help Bog! +rep!
