Video Memory
The computer does not have dedicated video memory. The video
memory available on your computer is configured in two modes of
operation, Legacy VGA/SVGA memory and Dynamic Video Mem-
ory Technology:
Legacy VGA/SVGA Memory
This is the pre-allocated memory size for VGA compatibility. This is
fixed in the BIOS at 8MB (
See “ Memory” on page 5 - 14
). This
memory is allocated from your system memory e.g. if you computer
has 128MB of memory (RAM), then 8MB will be allocated to video
leaving the system with 120MB of RAM. The minimum system
memory requirements for each OS are listed in
Table 3 - 1, “Mini-
mum OS Memory Requirements,” on page 6
. If you change your
memory configuration bear these guidelines in mind.
