ATI Catalyst 5.13 & Hypermemory

roole · Jan 5, 2006, 02:44 PM

Hi everybody,

recently I installed latest ati graphic drivers (v. 5.13). My graphic card is Ati Mobility Radeon X700 (128 bit). After installation my systems says that I have 512 MB of video memory. As I understand this is related with hypermemory property. But I don't need hypermemory, because extra memory is taken from RAM. I have 1024 MB of system memory, so after installation of catalyst 5.13 there left just 1024-384=640 MB. Previously I used Radeon drivers V. 6.14.10.6543 (datable 2005 04 28) and everything was fine.
So my general question is - is it possible to disable hypermemory function on catalyst 5.13, because I think that 128 MB is enough for me? Thanks in advance.
