On the box for my 6200 it said 256 MB. How much does yours have to be so slow? My card is the fastest thing I have ever seen. It never slows down once except when there are a lot of characters onscreen.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

It's a turbocahce card probably 128 on board with 256 from main system ram or the other way around.

I dont know why you think VRAM is so important, look it up, the chipset matters so much more than the amount of RAM.

click here to see!

Seems fair. 2GHz processor is a bit steep for laptop users, mine is 1.83GHz, although it's a dual-core so I should be good for it.


Do you think a slightly lower speed processer such as your 1.83GHz one, or an even a 1.6/1.73GHz CPU would make that much of a difference?

It depends on what CPU it is.

To "someone"...

This is what is a technology that Nvidia uses calld "Turbocache", this allows sharing with the memory dedicated to video on your motherboard to boost the total memory for video. I have a Geforce 7300, usually at 256, but because I have built in video memory of 256, I get a total of 512.

I'm not sure in your situation, but I don't think a "Turbocached' card doubles your videoc cards memory. Usually when an Nvidia card says "Turbocache" (or an ATI card says "Hypermemory") the memory the card says it has is not really what it has,a nd is usually close to half of what it says it is. Does that make sense? If not, I got this information from here .

It does a pretty good job explain video cards specifically for laptops.

Shared video memory is memory the video card borrows from the main system RAM. Shared memory is in no way a substitute for real dedicated memory. It usually does not provide much of, if any, performance gain.

HyperMemory is ATI's version of shared memory. Usually, if a card is advertised as, for example, “256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 HyperMemory”, the video memory is double what it actually has. So the X1400 in this example would actually have 128MB dedicated, and the other 128MB shared from the main system memory.

Nvidia's technology, TurboCache, is more difficult to figure out. For example, a “256MB Nvidia GeForce Go7400 TurboCache” could be half dedicated and half shared as in the ATI example above, but also could be one quarter dedicated and three quarters shared (64MB + 192MB). Of the two technologies, Nvidia's is superior, as part of it is done in hardware; ATI's solution relies completely on software and is considerably slower.

Info swiped ("swiper no swiping!!!) from: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=39568 (same as link from above).

Cheers.
