- Does that mean the VGX sees 32 Mbytes now, or 32 more (56 total).
- (Similar question for the GTX)
-
- Are you using high density memory? You must be using high density on the VGX,
- because you can't put that much low density memory on it. To use 8MB simms,
- you must have a high density board. Since you are working on a 220, chances are,
- you do not.
-
- It seems strange that the VGX would see anything other than the low density memory,
- but things like this depend on order sometimes.
