Nvidia 6100 video card question?

Question

I have an intergreted Nvidia 6100 card in my E-machines W3115 system. It came with 512 MB of DDR PC 4200 RAM and 128 MB shared video. I had the original driver it came with (83.11 or something like that). Since then I've upgraded the memory to 2 GB and the driver to (93.71) and now when I go into the adaptor settings for the card it says I have 512 MB of video. The funny thing is I'm still using 1.87 GB of memory (256 MB shared). Is there something wrong with that or do I actually have 512 MB of video memory while only using 256 MB shared?

Answer 1

it is ok.you just upgraded part of the memory with the upgrade.

Answer 2

u have up to 512 MB of share video....u don't have to be worry about how much is it using, if u go to bios it will tell u different capacity, windows another and control panel another.....
I thing 256 MB is a enough for a video card.

Answer 3

The 2GB is your SYSTEM memory.

Your video card still has the 512M. That has not changed because you upgraded your system RAM to 2G. That is why your video card continues to reflect 512M.

So nothing is wrong. It simply seems that you thought that by upgrading your system memory that you'd also be upgrading the RAM on your video card, which is obviously not the case at all.

Hope this helps.

Its ok, there is nothing wrong, that's why it is called shared memory, by installing more memory into your PC it gives you Vid card more memory for it to share, so it is like getting a upgrade on you Vid Card also, it was a good move on your behalf to do that, i hope this helps you, enjoy the speed...
