The video memory of this notebook computer uses only a part of the main memory. So you can chose your
RAM memory. Select the tab Memory. You have 3 Video Memory Configuration settings : 2/4/8 MB. By
default, your notebook is set on 4 MB. If you set the video memory to 2 MB, more memory can be assigned
to the main memory, but this will limit the resolution and the number of colors. Set the video memory to 8 MB
if you want a high resolution, if you want to increase the number of colors or if you want to play 3D-games.
After selecting the video memory you want, click Apply and then OK to apply. When the computer asks you
if you want to restart the computer now, click OK to restart.
