Hi
I am running Win7 64 with a 512mb video card and a motherboard that supports a maximum of 8GB of memory. I have 6GB RAM but the system only recognises 5.5GB as .5 GB is system reserved. Although I have long accepted that since installing Win7 I now have to replace the video card as it over heated (not to breaking point but high performance is effected - thank you ARMA2 and nvidia 196.75 drivers).
Anyway I am thinking about replacing the video card with a 1GB model, question is will that reduce usable RAM further? If so I'll stick with a 512mb model.
ps anyone want a partially disabled 9800gt??
