But before I increase the on board display video memory from 32MB to 64MB, I had problem (tearing, sluggish, etc) on that machine. The trick was just to increase the on board memory. But for those who don't have the same option that I do have (on BIOS), then I guess they might face the same issue.
Thanks to zRAM and I must say, special thanks to Leszek Lesner, who was the first to suggest adding zRAM by default as far as I remember. Now, the system memory allocated to my system was dropped from 464MB to 432MB but this is not a problem as far as I've seen because of zRAM :) I can imagine how sluggish it would be on P3. So, I don't think those with P3 can enjoy watching high quality videos :( On Wed, Jul 10, 2013 at 7:18 PM, Federico Leoni <effe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ali, > tried the video of Naruto now.
