Vista Graphics/System Memory Sharing?

ZXSpectrum · 3 May 2007 at 11:14

Is there a way to switch this off? We are currently doing tests with Vista on Workstation Spec graphics cards like the QuadroFX and the FireGL Range and was wondering if there was a way to remove the sharing feature. Currently We have a QuadroFX 1500 In a machine that has 128Mb onboard but Vista is allocating 512Mb of system memory to share with the gfx card.

Any Ideas?

I don't recall a way to switch it off

Vista however is intended to work best with 256Mb of RAM on a discrete gfx adaptor.
