Video Card

[peshkipo]

I recently purchased a Radeon 7000 64mb PCI video card.
Currently i have 384mb of SDRAM. After installing the card i still have 384mb, should i not have 448mb? The video adapter says its DDR SGRAM/SDRAM.

Thanks for the help

The memory on your video card is not added to your system memory.. it is used only by your video card for textures and such...

And your computer will show your video card and its ram at bios when you start up.

Cheers

BTW: þÄ®âÐÖx you sure do post alot

Video cards (Most anyway) have their own dedicated RAM onboard.

Right click your desktop, (takes you to Display properties) > Settings tab > Advanced > Adapter tab. Usually on Windows XP and 2K systems, the RAM amount will always show up there. If not, another way to check is DirectX properties (C:\Program Files\DirectX\dxdiag.exe) > Display tab.

You know, you could simply say to do start ->run->dxdiag..
never mind, I figured this out... thought there is a more accurate way...
thanks G4ce

Under there, there is a whole summary of your card. Company, processor, bios ver, etc...
