Topic: Video memory

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I have the built in video arrays on both my motherboards; Due to case design size is a very big issue.

One is a 2U rack case, the other is a Small form desktop that only has the smal pci frames.

Both Motherboards can support up to 4 gigs of ddr and ddr2 ram what i was wanting to do was upgrade my ram on one slot to 1 mb and keep the 512 stick in the other slot.

Now can I assign the 512mb stick to be dedicated for video memory? and just use the 1 mb for normal system ram?

Would this be a viable option and how would video mixing look with this set up? The final output is to a DLP projector with VGA input.

This might solve some space issues that I am having because I didn't plan very well when purchaseing cases (live and learn)

Input?

it wont be dedicated it will be shared memory

you can change how much ram is used for video in bios :)

I guess I'll have to read the motherboard manual then :(

OKay found a PCIexpress riser adapter for the 2U rackmount case.

I love eBay.

So i can now look at the traditional video cards for VDJ.
