Does anyone know how much memory you can dedicate to the internal graphics?
I think it is 8MB by default but is it possible to dedicate more, let say 64MB

You can find this out at the Aopen Ax4ge Max website.

Only says, Integrated VGA Engine in chipset

nothing about how much you can dedicate to the graphics or have i missed something?

I'm guessing that onboard video shares your memory with the rest of the system.

If that's true than any allocation of such memory [for your graphics] is probably software adjustable. Check the bios of the mobo. 3rd party software may do this but I wouldn't know what to recommend.

While this may be possible, why mess with it? You can buy a stand alone graphics card for cheap these days.

Good luck with it...

The thing is that i have L4S5MG/GL today which i can dedicate 8-64MB to the internal graphics but I have the Aopen mobo laying around wich is better in other ways, supports 5.1 sound, serial ata etc but i dont want the hazzle to rebuild if I cant dedicate any ram to it, 8MB i way to little and if thats the case ill wait until some $ comes in.
The sad part is that i cant afford a good stand alone at the moment but I have the surrond speakers and the serial ata so its like

knowing its in the drawer for nothing

But I'll guess i have to wait or have a rebuild weekend
