6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 How do I increase the general size of my "swap" file set up for games? I have 768 MB of general ram and 64 Video Ram. I like to cypher off some of that RAM to be dedicated to video memory on my laptop. Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Assuming your computer allows you to change the ammount (that is a motheboard setting for shared memory that varies), you need to get into BIOS. Restart your PC and generally you have to press F2 or DEL to enter Setup/BIOS. Then just look for the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metadigital Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Does anyone knows where I can get a generic OpenGL driver? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why do you want a generic one? Do you mean one that isn't a specific nVidia or ATi ? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 That is what Generic means. Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 But why? Don't you have a video card that is nVidia or ATi ? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Foot Invisible Rabbit Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 If I did I wouldn't be asking. My previous computer bit the bullet. I am using a IBM Thinkpad. I need my KotOR fix, DAMNIT! Harvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 Look on the bottom of your notebook. It should have a model number. Then go to IBM's website, and find the drivers for your model. They should have specifically the video drivers you need. They should also tell you what onboard video card you have (like a SiS Integrated Video Model XXX). And if you don't trust that IBM has the latest driver there, you can atleast now look for the proper driver elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need my KotOR fix, DAMNIT! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What model Thinkpad? I've got a T41p, and it has an ATi Mobility Radeon T2 128MB. Failing that, Ender's advice is sound: IBM have a very good update service now, it has improved out of sight since I bought this model, and it was as good as M$ before.

213374U Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Err... yes. And if it is one of those piece of sh1t integrated video arrays, as they used to put in older models, chances are you'll be screwed as far as compatibility goes. I had a Thinkpad (more like Stupidpad) too, and it was unable to run anything DirectX-based. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

If you are really not crying, then... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm leaving I'll come back when you grow up which will probably be never, who's the baby now? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If he leaves and doesn't come back until Numbers grows up, which is never, that means he never returns, doesn't it?
