New Videocard: PCie 16x, 128 bit, DH, passive

Quote from a529612:

It's NVS 210S integrated graphics with a chip on the mobo. The spec says it uses system memory exclusively. Is there any performance difference this integrated NVS vs the real NVS vid card?

PQ = picture quality

Probably not in PQ, but the integrated is likely slower... don't know if it's slower enough to make any difference, however.

If you have a video card it's either (1) the onboard video has been disabled and there is no "shared" memory, or (2) the onboard is not disabled (both the video card and onboard chip are running monitors). In that case, there would be "shared memory" for the one monitor.

gnome,

it's not what I'm talking about... I mean how to calculate the Mb of RAM needed to display a given risolution on screen, e.g. 1280* 1024 and 16 bit resolution -- and so knowing whether 32 Mb per head are enough (or, instead, the driver will look for the Turbocharges routines in order to grasp some RAM from the system).

I never saw a calculation for the "amount of RAM used relative to resolution"... but 32 mb/port is waaaayyyyy plenty. I used to run my same setup on Win2K with only 4mb per port, and it ran the same as my rig today.
