I have found a way to get more noticeable video performance out of the onboard video memory. Just follow the following:
-
Restart your puter and hold down the F1 button to turn on the Bios Settings.
-
Next Select “Advanced” and go down the list and select "Onboard Video Memory, it will give you a selection of memory amounts, my computer had 1mb and 8mb with 1mb being the default.
-
Select the highest mb amount the list shows , on my puter I selected the 8mb. If your puter has more than 2 selections select the highest and if it gives you problems then re-enter the bios settings and select the next lowest.
-
Last not but least go to exit and click on “Exit Saving Changes”
This has eliminated alot of the slowdown and lag my ET game goes through and I was able to select a higher graphics setting without slowing down the game or PC . I found alot of speed improvements through out my computer changing this. Give this a try and see if it helps you guys. Another cool thing about the Bios Settings is if you go to “Power” and select “Hardware Monitor” , it will tell you what temperature your puter is running at and the rpms of both puter and cpu fans. Great way to check to see if your fans are running without having to take your puter apart.
