You will have to tell us the model of your computer before we can tell you whether it is possible.<BR /><BR />If applicable, the memory is shared when the computer boots. It is then dedicated to the graphics card and is not available for other use by the computer. It cannot harm your computer.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 28 Nov 2004 13:30:53 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/ive-heard-that/m-p/154901#M120416 robpaxton 2004-11-28T13:30:53Z Re: Ive heard that...... https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/ive-heard-that/m-p/154902#M120417 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It doesn't damange the PC, but it can make games run slower as there's less system RAM.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 28 Nov 2004 17:26:56 GMT https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/ive-heard-that/m-p/154902#M120417 kee-lo_ 2004-11-28T17:26:56Z Re: Ive heard that...... https://community.sony.ua/t5/pcs-accessories/ive-heard-that/m-p/154904#M120418 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It's not actually a choice.
