i have a sapphire 9600 PRO with 256 MiB RAM........ now since i dont play games this kinda was a waste of money (even though i got it REALLY cheap)........ anyway, this thing has a shitload of memory that is going unused (im guessing about 200 MiB)....... so i wanted to know if there is any way to use that as system RAM, or to let windows use it as pagefile space or something usefull......

im guessin the answer is no, but hey, its worth a shot right?

No, but I guess you can lower the agp aperture, on the off-chance that the 9600 sometimes hogs your regular ram without needing to :unsure: :blink:

I don't think it does though. can't see how it could.
