NOTE: 64Mb Video RAM will automatically be set if this notebook has 512Mb RAM or more. 64Mb will only be displayed in Windows and not in the BIOS.
Warning - NEVER set the shared Memory to be the same size as
the total memory of your notebook. (i.e. if you only have 64mb memory, do
not set the shared memory to 64mb). If you do this, your notebook will not
boot and you will have to add more physical RAM before you can access your
notebook!
