limit/disable ATI hypermemory Vista

Posted: 10-10-2007, 09:52 PM
OK, I am on a Thinkpad T60 with an ATI X1300 graphics adapter, I can
not "Add a Graphics card" and have already have 3GB of memory but the
hypermemory is using too much memory (Vista).

I want to limit of disable/adjust Hypermemory (no need for comments of
add more memory or get a graphic card!). 1,343MB is allocated to
Hypermemory, I do not play games, I work on this machine and that much
play memory is useless to me. (maybe Vista is useless too).

Using ATI Catalyst Controil Center Version 2007.0314.2238.38622 and I
see no way of adjusting it and recovering a GB of memory for real
work.

By the way, I am running out of memory addresses because of this big
glob of nothing that even slows down startup!

Help! Or I am going back to XP Pro (forever).

Where are you reading that 1.3GB is allocated to the graphics card?

Sorry my post reflected a level of fustration, I would appreciate your
help and experience. I have a great deal of experience (DOS/VS, VM,
MVS++, OS/390, Unix++, PC/MS DOS, W3.1 to Vista, NT to W23K). and I like
to solve problems like this... I would like a reference where these
settings can be modified or managed, I would rather not be restricted
from access to my own machine. Silly approaches like moving to a
different OS is not an answer, it is a vent of fustration. I hope you or
someone will consider pointing me in a direction to solve this... I will
post the results for all to see.

how about jumper settings if it's a desktop you might have a jumper that
sets up your memory

gipyne,
A system BIOS for a desktop does not normally contain Monitor settings so
maybe they are actually adapter settings. Did you review them to be sure
that they were not adapter settings? In my Bios in a different make/model of
MOBO they are labeled as Video settings so you might check to see if you
have any of those.

good point, although it could be something to see if you want to use the
integrated graphic card or not but yes good idea to check

One of the choices in my Video Bios setting is what do I want to use as my
primary graphics card. It is the only place I can tell My BIOS to use a PCI
card instead of the onboard graphics chip.
