The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Changing The Memory Amount Used For Onboard Graphics

Asked by nafaught in New Computer Users

Tags: memory, graphics, onboard, changing, amount

I have a Asus p5gl-mx motherboard which has the  Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900.  It claims to have directX 9 hardware accel., a 333mhz core clock, and up to 128mb of memory.

The problem I'm running into is this : where do I change the memory amount dedicated to this onboard graphics card?  I have 1gb of system ram so dedicating 128mb of memory to the onboard graphics all the time would not affect me in the least.  I go into bios and under the type of memory amount it only has options for 1mb and 8mb, but also has some settings for memory type (AUTO, FIX, DVMT, DVMT+FIX) and I have no clue as to what these are or what they do.  If I set the memory amount to 8mb and leave the memory type at Auto, when I boot up to Windows and look at my graphics properties, it says the minimum amount of video memory is 8mb and max is 64mb and memory in use is 9mb.  Can I not set a setting that would allow the graphics card to use 128 all the time?

I imagine this is some ASUS mb question if someone is familiar with their product, but any help and suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks!
