Re: [Trisquel-users] What is better for Video Memory?

[f13ticket]

I have another question please.  The Gateway says, "up to 256MB" of shared  
system memory.  Does that mean that it just won't go beyond drawing 256MB of  
memory from shared for video, even if it needs it?  Because the Lenovo says,  
"shared system memory."  So, to me, that says that it will take whatever it  
needs from the 1GB or 2GB of memory I have.  I am unsure if 256MB plus the  
64MB onboard will be enough to do decent 3D.  The system itself takes less  
than 1 GB.  So, I could have about 1.5GB for video memory for the Lenovo if I  
upgrade to 2GB of memory.  I can upgrade to 2GB on the Gateway, but if it  
caps at 256MB then it really wouldn't help me video out much anyway.  So,  
that's my new question; does that Gatewat cap at 256MB?
