How do I change the memory size in the DH Mobility Modder?

HolyRock · Aug 22, 2007, 11:51 PM

I have a Radeon Mobility X1600 with 512 Mb RAM, and so hence I would like to change the maximum mobility videocard memory from 128 Mb (which it seems to be set to) to 512 Mb. Now I get as far as Settings->Change Memory, and then browse, but here I get stuck. I simply have no clue as to what inf-file that it is I'm supposed to find, none the less where I can find it. If anyone could help me with this then I'd be forever grateful.

There is in the folder that you modded a inf file. I can't look now exactly where it is, but it always is like cx_ or ca_, cl_ ch_ if i remeber so with that it starts.

For Xp it would be like C:\ATI\support\*driver name version*\Driver\XP_INF\CX_19199.inf < something like that.

I guess this is it for the latest 32-bit Vista drivers:
C:\ATI\SUPPORT\7-8_vista32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_50974\Driver\Packages\Dri vers\Display\LH_INF\CL_52020.inf

I have 256MB on my ATI Mobility Radeon X1600. What happens if I don't change the memory? Will it be 128MB only then? What happens if I change it to 512MB? Will it BSOD or hijack 256MB of the other RAM or will it fail or something else? Perhaps some autodetection of the current system would be nice

I guess most people do the mod on the same computer as they will install the modded drivers on later.

I think that if you would set it at 512 it will still be 256. I am not sure if that would give problems, but best is to set it at 256 else it will only use 128MB
