Video Card Question

Hi All,

I was wondering, is there a way to tell if my system memory gets allocated to use my video card? I have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mgs, and I am fairly sure it is located in the AGP slot (green). Does itr use its own onboard memory, or does it take it my my system memory?

Thanks,
Jon

If it is in the AGP slot - it has its own memory.

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.

It uses it's on-board memory.
