915G Combo graphic memory

I cant see that how can i fix graphic memory in bios.
How can I configure or arrange graphic memory? For example; how can i
fixed 64 MB? Which program have to be used?
Aperture size option in the bios arranges how much graphic memory reserved from the all system memory. I dont ask that. My problem is how can i fix some memory part in the aperture size memory.
Thank you for your answers...

2.2.2 Fixed Memory
Fixed is a memory allocation method addition to the Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) concept, wherein a static amount of page-locked graphics memory is allocated during driver initialization. This fixed amount will provide the total amount of graphics memory available to the system and is intended to provide the user with a guaranteed amount of graphics memory at all times. Once the fixed amount is allocated during OS boot and driver initialization, this system
memory amount will no longer be available to the OS. However, the OS will still report total system memory as including this allocated amount (as opposed to pre-allocated).
2.2.3 DVMT Memory
DVMT is an enhancement of the UMA concept, wherein the graphics driver allocates memory as needed for running graphics applications. The graphics driver is cooperatively using this memory with other system components. If a user is not performing any graphics-intensive operations, most of the DVMT memory can be utilized by the operating system for other uses. In an environment where the user is unlikely to run games that require a large amount of memory, the memory will
be available for other uses such as database applications etc. In an environment where the user is playing games or may not run any data intensive non-graphics applications, the memory will automatically be used to optimize the graphics. Intel recommends using the DVMT setting for better overall system performance.
2.2.4 “Fixed” + “DVMT” Memory “Fixed” + “DVMT” is a memory allocation in addition to the UMA concept, wherein a static amount of page-locked graphics memory is allocated during driver initialization and an additional amount of DVMT graphics memory is allocated and de-allocated based upon system need. This
new memory allocation addition provides guaranteed amount of graphics memory while providing the capability to scale the amount of available graphics memory to a higher amount needed by applications (up to the maximum supported by the GMCH and system memory installation – see table below). This allocation method, Fixed + DVMT, allows for the static allocation of memory to guarantee a minimum amount over that which is pre-allocated and also allows for a more balanced system performance versus the Fixed only allocation method.

  • Msi 915G combo-fr memory readout problem

    well i bought this ram which is capable of running at 533 mhz at 3224 timing or 700 mhz at 43312 timing so i buy it right and i buy this board so ever thing boots up but it reads it as 400 so i go in bios and put it to 533 but it still says 400 when boot. i think there needs to be a bios update and also when i raid fsb frequency is raises the fsb above 533 but it doesnt give me that fsb eather it over clocks from 400 so if i have 250 fsb it will make it 500 witch is under the miniumum setting for my ram so what could be done to fix this i think is bios programmer guys at msi provide bios update with a forcable memory fsb option that raises or lowers by typing in or raising 1 mhz at a time  link to memory http://www.techniz.co.uk/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=186

    thank you very much     

    Please read the Forum Rules. You are asking to speak with someone from MSI and there aren't any that visit here.
    You are asking for a memory clock that is totally independent from the cpu clock. That will not work; they have to run at a fixed ratio. No bios change can possible "fix" the physically impossible.
    Your best memory performance is when the two clocks run syncrhonously, which for your cpu is 400. The ram you have purchased would be suitable for a 1066 FSB cpu and board without overclocking, or it is great stuff for overclocking.

  • [915 Series] 915G-Combo with OCZ-DDR2-533/4200 no post - help!

    I was hoping one of you wonderful experts on this board might be able to help.  I just bought a pair of OCZ DDR2-RAM and am having trouble getting the system to recognize it.  Here are the specs:
    RAM specs:
     - 533MHz DDR2, unbuffered CL 3-3-3-8
     - 1GB (2X512) dual channel optimized gold kit
     - 1.8V 240pin DIMM
     - 2.2V EVP - OCZ's unique Extended Voltage Protection feature allows PC2-4200 modules to handle voltages up to 2.2V ±5%
     - OCZ part number:-OCZ25331024ELDCGE-K
    System specs:
        * CPU model and rated speed:-Intel Socket775 2.8GHzE
        * Not Overclocked
        * Motherboard and revision:-MSI 915G-combo
        * Motherboard Bios rev:-1.7 (latest)
        * Video card:-ATI X800XL
        * Power supply:-450W
        * Operating System:-XP Pro SP2
    My current Crucial DDR-400 PC3200 CT6464Z40B 2x512MB RAM runs without problems installed.  When I switched out the Crucial RAM and installed the OCZ DDR2-533 PC4200 RAM in the appropriate DDR2 slots (1 and 3), no go.  The system won't even post and I can't get into the BIOS.  I tried using even just one of the 512MB sticks, alternated sticks, and even tried just one stick in DDR2 in slot3 instead of slot1 - no go. My boot drives don't get accessed either as I had even placed a Memtest bootdisk in the floppy hoping it might be able to access that.
    I've been working over the last 24hrs with the very helpful OCZ folks but we havn't been able to get anywhere.  I realize that OCZ isn't technically on the 'tested and verified' DDR2-list for the 915G-combo board, but OCZ is a good name brand (up there with Crucial) and I went for the higher-end Gold-series (CAS3) so I figured it wouldn't be a problem.
    I've tried clearing the CMOS (no effect except to wipe out my bios settings).  I have a D-Bracket2 installed and it hangs when the upper right light is green with the rest red (according to the D-bracket guide, that means 'Memory Detection Test - will hang if the memory module is damaged or not installed properly'.  I can't imagine the RAM is bad - I have 2 matching ones to test (neither seem to work when installed by itself), and just got it brand new from Monarchcomputers yesterday evening in their retail box unopened.
    Per OCZ's advice, I was unable to manually set a CAS of 4 with my Crucial DDR installed (I could only manually set it to a max of 3), so I also test-tried a manual set of the BIOS memory timing to 3-4-4-10 while the Crucial DDR RAM was installed and then retried the system with only the new DDR2 installed in their appropriate slots (Crucial DDR of course removed).  Still no luck - the system won't get to bios and hangs at the Memory Test per D-Bracket2.  It won't even get to a point where it tries to access/boot from floppy so that I can't run MemoryTest from disk.
    Would anyone else out there recommend trying something else, short of going out and shelling out $140 for an ABit AA8-925X mboard that OCZ actually lists as compatible with their RAM?  My MSI 915G-Combo board has been flawless for me up to now and I'd hate to part with it just because it won't work with good OCZ DDR2 ram.  One thing I havn't tried is attempting to use an older BIOS version - I had flashed to the latest v1.7 bios prior to installing the DDR2 ram, so I've never actually tried any of the older versions.  Does anyone think this would be worth a shot?
    Cheers
    - James

    Thanks... I tried that.... still no go...
    I just got an email from OCZ techsupport (they had requested that I email them directly).
    "we have identified a problem with the PC4200 Gold DDR2 dimms, we need to get you a pair with reprogrammed SPD info on them. So we need to swap your kit out"
    They were very apologetic about it, and from what I can tell I don't think this happens a lot with OCZ ram...
    So that hopefully will be the solution to my problem.. I'm processing an RMA with them right now.. will let you know how it goes.. it's a 'relief' to find out that it most likely isn't my MSI-915G board's fault after all...
    Kudos to OCZ at least for getting back to me so quickly, even though it does suck to have my memory delayed again.. I'll post again when I get the replacement RAM and let you all know how it goes...  at least they've identified a problem and are willing to take care of it rather than leaving me hanging...

  • 915G Combo And Double-Wide Card...

    Hello everyone,
    Question for you all:
    I have a 915G Combo motherboard with an X800XT video card, but want to upgrade to the X1900XTX. However, the X1900XTX is classed as a 'double-wide' card. Is the 915G able to acccomodate it?
    Regards,
    Thor

    Naw, a Pentium-D does not necessarily mean better 3D performance.
    Remember a lot of games out there are written to take advantage of a single core only.  There are only a handful of games out there right now that takes advantage of two CPU cores.  At high resolutions, it's usually the graphics card that's the bottleneck, especially if you are using forced antialiasing or anisotropic filtering.  FSAA and AF are independent of the CPU, and they take a lot of graphics card power.
    I wouldn't get the 1900XTX for a different reason...  It takes too much electrical power, runs too hot and makes too much noise.  I prefer the new 90nm Nvidia 7900GT, which uses just 85W of power at peak and dissipates around that much heat.  Works wonderfully with the rig in my sig.
    As far as double-wide graphics cards go, it just means you lose the use of the slot next to your graphics card because it's taken up by the graphics card cooler.  I don't see any reason why it won't work on a 915G board.

    i already tried the latest graphics drivers from intel.com & the latest bios driver from lenovo.com
    i even upgraded the RAM to 3 GB
    i would be thankfull if anyone answers my problem

    My guess is that it IS a Vista problem, since other devices

  • Qosmio F750 - How to change dedicated graphics memory to 2GB...

    In order to get my Qosmio F750 ready to run some games, I have updated all of the drivers on via the toshiba website and NVIDIA website while also downloading the relevant software. This includes updating the BIOS to version 2.00.
    According to the [laptop specifications given on the Toshiba website|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/qosmio/f750/pqf75a-02y00q/specifications],
    I should have the following allocation of memory to the graphics:
    "4095MB Total: 2048MB dedicated memory + 2047MB shared memory"
    When I go to check the Performance Information and Tools window, I get shown the following information:
    Graphics
    Display adapter type Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
    Total available graphics memory: 1696 MB
    Dedicated graphics memory: 64 MB
    Dedicated system memory: 0 MB
    Shared system memory: 1632 MB
    Display adapter driver version: 9.18.13.1422
    Primary monitor resolution: 1366x768
    DirectX version: DirectX 10
    Of course, when I look carefully at the laptop specifications, I realize that the current graphics memory allocation corresponds to the Power Saving Mode i.e. graphics allocation when running on battery power
    Normally this would be fine, however, I do not see any change in the info displayed even when I am running on AC power.
    I have checked all of my power settings but even when everything is set to 'performance mode', the information displayed stays the same.
    I try to look in the system bios to manually change the graphics allocation but no such option exists. Rather all options are set to performance mode...
    So my ultimate question is, *How can I change the graphics memory allocation to performance mode as indicated in the system specifications?*
    Is this something that occurs automatically without changing the displayed info?
    Is there a driver that I have forgotten to update? Has a driver update caused this?
    Has a BIOS update caused this?
    On a side note, when checking the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, I the directx version is displayed as version 11. So I thought the issue was with the displayed information. But even on the Diagnostic Tool gives me the same info.
    I would be very grateful if someone could help me out with this.
    Thanks,
    Omair

    Okay I think I get it now.
    The Performance Info and Tools Window only shows the information on the Intel HD Graphics 3000.
    When the specs sheet says power saving mode it means graphics using only the Intel HD Graphics.
    However because of Optimus, the notebook can use either the Intel GRaphics card or the nVidia GPU.
    The performance mode in the specs sheet refers to when the notebook is using the nVidia GPU.
    The integrated gpu and the dedicated gpu do not run at the same time but Optimus switched between the 2 of them whenever the situation requires it. Whatever it switches to decides which 'mode' the notebook is using. The memory allocations for these 'modes' will match those of the specs sheet.
    But any information about the graphics memory will not change as it only displays the info on the integrated gpu.
    Well, I can finally understand what the previous posts were referring to and why the posts themselves were pretty short (there wasn't any problem needing to be fixed!).
    Thank you for all of your help Randy, Akuma and PauPau

  • PDF file size limited to graphics memory in Reader?

    I've created a form (in LiveCycleDS) that allows for an unlimited number of photos to be loaded into it. I put an image into a subform that is duplicated every time a user clicks a button thus creating an unlimited number of images that can hold photos. I then extended it with Reader Extensions.
    I'm running into a problem when I try to load a large number of photos into the form.  It gets to about 47MB of images when it locks-up Adobe reader.  I've been able to bring up other applications after the lock-up and when I switch back to Reader the artifacts of the other application are then displayed within Reader.
    What is the practical limit to the size of a file created with LiveCycle?  Is it tied to the amount of graphics memory a computer has?  My machine has 2GB of RAM while my video card has only 384MB.  I haven't been able to figure out if there is a file size limitation.

    It's entirely normal for file size to increase. PDFs are much more compressed than print streams. For some printers the print size is almost constant (a huge bitmap), for others, it's a collection of graphical items and the size varies enormously. Rarely anything you can do.

  • 915G combo HDD CD-DVD question

    Hi I have a new 915G combo MB with latest bios etc.
    Here is the question, i have Boot Hdd on the blue IDE1 as c/s the 2 CD-DVD CD/R-RW on IDE 2 as c/s,
    in bios it reports
    Pri master       not detected
    pri secondary   not detected
    sec master      not detected
    sec secondary not detected
    thi master       detected maxtor 160gb
    thi secondary   not detected
    the 2 CD rom detected in raid.
    Ok it works but why isnt the maxtor detected as primary master as normal when in IDE1 slot?
    also why the bios does not detect the 2 CD roms.
    Also if i disable the on board raid, and use IDE bus mastering in bios the HDD light is lit all the time.
    Thanks for any help on this
    All the best Thomas

    IDE bus mastering is not for the RAID controller. Check in the Integrated Peripherals, look for the RAID controller settings, either it's disabled, RAID, or IDE. If you only seen Disabled and RAID, then you'll need to go into the RAID controller setup instead of BIOS setup to change to IDE. If still can't do this, then you have to follow my suggestion in the first place.
    I guess you've already have the perception on MSI board and I don't think anyone can convince you further. Good luck to you on whatever board you use in the future. You're welcome back here if you have any MSI related questions.

  • How to set on-board graphics memory of my macbook?

    I've installed Arch Linux in my macbook pro (2011 early 13inch).
    I've upgraded RAM from 4G to 8G, and in OS X, this doubled graphics memory from 256MB to 512MB automatically.
    However, in Arch Linux, the graphics memory is recognized only as 256MB which is original value before memory upgrading.
    I wonder if I can adjust GRAM to expand it.

    Hum, interesting. I have Intel HD4000 and 16GB of ram. I should have quite a lot of video ram, like 1GB.
    It is very, very possible that we do have more video ram but what we are looking at is not telling us what we think it is. I was fairly sure that Intel Graphics did all it's video ram scaling stuff on it's own.

  • MacBook Pro 13,3 and 15,4 : graphic memory

    I would like to buy a MacBook Pro but I'm worried about the graphic memory. On the MacBook Pro 13,3 tech specs I can read:
    "NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory"
    Shared? Does this mean that the video card hasn't got dedicated RAM?
    On the other hand in the MacBook Pro 15,4 tech specs I can read:
    "NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory on 2.4GHz; Intel HD Graphics with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory"
    Please could you explain me what does they mean with "shared" memory?
    How about performance? Usually NB has a lot more video memory such as 1GB...

    As I wrote above, I've been doing lots of work in Adobe CS4 applications using the integrated GPU and *its 256MB of "shared" RAM (not really shared, because only the GPU can use it)*. I have 4GB of RAM installed, and I'm getting my work done just fine in 3.75GB of it.
    If nothing we can say will reassure you, then you'd better buy some other computer.
    Precisely. It appears that the integrated graphics engine has 256MB of dedicated memory available, but it's advertised as "shared" because it comes from the (main) system memory. In reality, it's not the 256MB of graphics memory that's being "shared", it's the 4GB of system RAM that's being shared
    And 4GB is plenty of RAM.
    Also consider this: the discrete graphic cards available on the 2.4Ghz and 2.53Ghz 15" MBP come with 256MB of dedicated RAM. Only the top two configurations have 512MB of RAM available (the i7 15" and the 17" models).
    You should be fine.

  • Display Driver Error And Less Total Graphical Memory

    Hi Guys , Today i have Installed Win 8.1 x64 . Having many Trouble With it , Before I have Win 7 - it Gives Me 1500+MB  of Total Graphical Memory And Have no Problem In Installing Supported Drivers But When I Installed Win 8.1 it Gives Me only 225
    MB of Total Graphic memory And Zero Dedicated And System Memory And When I Install A recommended and Supported Graphic Driver It Say me That - "Your PC Does Not reach To Minimum Requirement"  
    Guys Please Help Me................!!! 

    Hi rdaman,
    According to your description, this issue seems to be caused by the wrong graphic driver.
    1.Is the driver installed downloaded from the manufacture?
    If it`s not the manufacture`s driver, I recommend you to download the driver from the graphic manufacture website and then install the driver manually.
    To install the driver manually:
    Open the Device Manager from the startscreen and right click your graphic
    Update Driver Software \Browse my computer for Driver Software(navigate to the driver you have downloaded)
    2.Meanwhile I recommend you to update the BIOS driver from the machine manufracture.
    3.Considering you suffer many troubles with Win8.1, I recommend you to search the model of your machine from the manufracture website and check its compability with Win8.1.
    Best regards  

  • 9400 Graphics Memory Allocation

    For the GeForce 9400M chip is it possible to increase the graphics memory allocation if I were to upgrade the system memory?
    In other words: Does the GeForce 9400M chip and Mac OS Leopard+ support dynamic memory allocation for the graphics memory?
    If I increase the system RAM from 2GB to 4GB will the 9400 graphics memory allocation increase from 256MB to 512MB?
    (The Intel graphics chipset supported it)

    No. The 9400 uses 256 MBs of RAM, no more.
