If I am correct, shared memory refers to the area of main memory that is shared with the built in display adapter to provide memory to hold the image being displayed.Unlike stand alone display adapters that have their own on board

The boosted clock rate isn't usually anything to worry about; not only not because it's almost never in use, but because it's usually restricted to one core. So, the congestion inside the CPU will reduce its effective maximum potential
