Why bother - paul@viahardware. com gets all the l8est bioses the second they're released and releases his modded versions with l8est hp bios soon after. . . .

thats fully OK, too seems like just you OpenGL is slow ... thats just a question of an option ... check atuner and you'll be fine

and yes over 128 its useless but there is also no reason not to do so ... its simply equal since you can set it to 512 when having 256 MB RAM its just for fun
