Important Information for Optimizing
Your Graphics Performance
You can improve the graphics performance of your Internet PC by increasing
the amount of memory allocated to video. To do this, complete the following
steps:
1. From the Windows taskbar, select Start/Settings/Control Panel.
2. Double-click Display.
3. Select the Settings tab.
4. Click Advanced.
5. Select the Memory tab.
6. Select the desired memory allocation from the drop-down menu, using the
following guidelines:
–If you have a total of 32 MB of system memory, the allocated 4 MB
of video memory will enable running most 3D applications. If you
have difficulty running 3D applications, you should install additional
system memory. Adding system memory and allocating 8 MB to
video memory can improve graphic performance.
–If you have a total of 64 MB of system memory, you may allocate up
to 8 MB to video memory. This can improve graphic performance.
7. In order for the change to take effect, you must restart your computer.
