okay, so i have this friend who trusts me to do this for him, so please guys help!
the problem is that he has a geforce fx5200 (xfx by alpine) 128 mb PCI card. installation was simple and flawless. now here's what i noticed:
desktop>right click>properties>settings tab>advanced>GeForce FX 5200 tab>Direct3D Settings>It says:
PCI Texture Memory Size
Use up to 47 (number is changable) MB of system memory for textures in PCI mode.
I thought this card was 128 MB??? sorry for being such a n00b at this guys, but any answers and or suggestions are helpful, i'm not gonna play around with this setting until i know what it is and if i can bump it up to 128 mb (the ram on the card, 128 mb). the card is on the 44.03 drivers and directx 9.0b , i'll be updating the drivers to the latest, but for now, this 47 mb system memory question. thanks in advance guys.
p.s. I just need to know if the card is going to run at 128 mb like it was meant too with that "47 MB of system memory for textures in PCI mode". Frankly i have know clue what the above statement (in quotations) is. thanks again guys!
