have 4Gb of system memory (I have 2Gb DDR) so I deleted the whole thing and compiled my kernel fine. Testing it didn't lead me to any problems. My gtt size went from 32Mb to 512Mb. Is this ok? my card is supposed to have 128 Mb of VRAM.<br><br>Also if the issue is only when you are above 4Gb of system memory, couldn't there be some sort of if statement that could probe the memory and if it was bigger than 4G then it would force 32mb on gtt memory.?<br><br>should I play it safe? I guess I don't really understand what gtt memory is<br></td></tr></table><br>
