I just purchased a new laptop. It is an Acer Aspire 5517. 1.6ghz processor 3gb ram "up to 1406mb video memory" on an ATI Radeon HD3300 video card.
When I go to system information it states that 256mb ram is dedicated to video memory and the rest is "shared system memort". I am somewhat computer savvy but as many people there is a lot I do not know. My questions are. How is this dedicated memory to video adjusted? Is it advisable to max it out, if not how much would be an advisable level?
I really am not a "hard core gamer" this computer mainly will be used to play a game called Runescape which is a game I've spent unfortunately way too much of my free time on over the years. The game is a massive multiplayer java based browser game and I'm thinking more video memory might improve some of the issues I have been having with occasional choppienss in game.
Thanks.
