I do understand the limit of my MB is 4GB and yeah I didnt see any memory remapping feature. Im surprised you found my documentation. Shitastic. What I dont really understand is why its reserving so much memory for my hardware. My friend has a laptop with win7 64bit his also says INSTALLED MEMORY: 4GB (3.8 Usable). Im still tryin to figure out if my system is still reserving memory for this wack ass ATI Radeon Xpress 200... As far as the aperature goes, it was default or (optimized set...) at 64, I upped to 256 and it seemed like my FPS went up a little. But I didnt notice anything with the memory usage. But ill look again. The resource monitor says currently 1564MB in use, 1608MB Available, Hardware Reserved:898MB, In Use:1574 now, modified: 28 now, standby 1419MB, free:187MB, Available:1605MB, Cached 1442MB, Total: 3198, Installed:4096MB. Can anyone see anything else I can possibly change in my BIOS that will optimally affect my system? The couple things I did notice is in this part of the BIOS...

Where it says GFX Clock mode when changed from sync to async, the async GFX clock can be changed from 200MHz to up to 350MHz, Async GFX Clock Source can be changed from 14.318MHz OSC to 100MHz PCIe, and I can enable of disable the rest of the options below as well. What does System BIOS cacheable mean though? The only other things I notice is next to BIOS: OS SELECT for DRAM>64MB NON-OS when you highlight this option to the right it says only change to OS if your OS system has more than 64MB on it. But Im confused as to what they mean does this mean if the OS is more than 64bit? Or If I have more than 64MB installed memory, or wha...? I know Windows Pro 64 allows for up to 192GB. Does this apply to this option? Is there even a 128bit OS??? Ubunto is isnt it? but I mean as far back as 6yrs ago was there? Could this be the remapping option? I'll post a pic of this in my next post.
Also under the CMOS: memclock index is set at 200MHz (highest) but with a latency timing of 2.5 which can be changed to 3. I know smaller latency is better, but in the case of my memory, my memory setting had to be changed from 2.5-3 in order for the JEDIC3:3-3-3-8 timing to cooperate and operate at 200MHz, otherwise under the JEDIC2:2.5-3-3-7 would have the left my memory operating at 166MHz (at least reported from CPUIDs CPUZ) when it was set at 2.5 in the BIOS. I wonder what the effect would be. Other than that I dont know what else to do except OC my My video cards clocks... Thanks for the explanations and help... Still could use some more. One thing I did do that will make the people here happy, and envious
. Just copped up the new ASUS M4A88TD-M motherboard (The overclockers dream) USB3.0, SATA 6GB/s, core unlocker, supports the new AMD 975 BE and will safely overclock to 4GHz and beyond.... Still need the processor and 16GBs of 2000MHz DDR3 though.... Itll be a minute till then... Still gotta sell this MB, ram, and processor. Its up for grabs... Until then thogh I still need to figure out some more optimizing techniques... Thanks
get for that one?? Sweet.
rb: then type resmon and press enter, under memory how much is showing as HardwareReserved?
... But, if anyone else can see a way to optimize any of my BIOS settings in one way or another... Id appreciate it. I changed everything back to default, so if any of these options sounded better the way I set before them let me know...
