RAM as video memory?
I do not know if I posted this one the right thread so if I posted it incorrectly, can the mods please transfer this to the correct one? Thanks!
Here's my question. My girlfriend has a netbook (brand does not matter - only the specs). It has an Atom N455 and 2gb of DDR3 memory. She has always been complaining about the poor or if not non-existent Aero looks of her Starter. She does not want the best Aero graphics of the Ultimate version. Just enough for her netbook not to look like a mass-produced, cheap (which really it is) gadget. She had a chance to have a genuine copy of Home Premium and immediately grabbed it. She had her friend install it for her and after all was said and done, she was still not satisfied because it still looked like a Starter (mainly because her netbook had no onboard graphics).
My question is, is there a way to convert let's say 512mb of those 2gb of RAM into graphics memory? I know it is asking much but she wants atleast a bit of those Aero looks so she can change wallpapers, have her preinstalled games not lag because of some hardware acceleration issues, transparent taskbar (if possible) and most importantly, change her screen resolution?
Thanks!
