radeon 8500 128mb problem

Warren_15 · Jan 5, 2003, 12:30 AM

It seems that on the adapter and options tabs, windows detects only 64 mb of ram on my card when it has 128. I know i haven't burned out any chips because i dont overclock and i keep my pc cool. Are there any registry settings that can allow me to make changes?

Thanks

Have you flashed the vid adapter bios? There's lots of 64meg images out there... Or ya got the wrong drivers...or check ALI for chipset drivers and patches.
