OK this is probably a really dumb question - but I want to upgrade to DSL and there are apparently some minimum requirements that must be met. I've met all of them except for one which I don't know how to find out. How do I check how much memory i have in my video card? Apparently I need a 4Mb videocard but I've checked BIOS and I've checked System Information (System Tools) in Windows and can't find it. I have an IBM Thinkpad i series. Where the @#$% is it??

Can't you find something about your card in the Control Panel ? Depends on your card manufacturer, but sometimes there is a configuration program there.

Memnoch, if there is somewhere a tool allowing you to modify the settings of your video display, there should be an indication of the RAM on your card in there.

It's definitely the NeoMagic Magic Media 256AV thing, dunno about the NM2200.
Where do you look for that? Is that a driver name or something? I have an IBM ThinkPad i Series with a 366Mb Pentium II Celeron chip and 32Mb RAM. Thanks for the help btw, are you guys starting to feel like helpdesk yet? I'm gonna be SO upset if I can't have DSL because of this stupid video card thing. ------------------ |
