onboard is not disabled?


do you have a 6200 with that "Hyper Cache" BS? if so, that's why

You just mixed up ATI's Hypermemory with Nvidia's Turbocache :P

Anyways, @interested, your 6200 supports Nvidia's Turbocache, which is basically a fancy word that says "we're too cheap to put more memory in the chip, so we're going to let the card use your system memory cause we're cheap like that." Basically, it's useless.
 
Most likely your card has 512MB of VRAM when you include the Turbocache for that card, but it may not be the case.

With my card, Vista's dxdiag says I have 1275MB of VRAM.
 
Hm, i dont think i have TurboCache, but i am positive about onboard being disabled.

Thanks,

P.S. Its one hell of a card for $70. and i dont believe it has turbocache becuase its AGP and i think i read that Turbo cache was only for PCI-E.
