the problem with that link is they're massively over simplifying, and AFAIK the entire video card address space is not MMIOed to a segment of the CPU address space (That would be wasteful and retarded)
but yes some of the lost address space has to…
this entire discussion is highly technical and of no practical concern for typical users
32-bit windows cannot use more than 4GB of memory. period. only main memory counts toward this (ie do not add your 512MB video card to that number)

video ram and main memory are not related..
though on 32-bit OSes with 4GB of memory there will be temporary periods of time (when an MMIO bank is active) that the operating system won't be able to use all that memory .. but it's not entire 5…
oh i try to be nice and polite and informative, until someone with way less knowledge comes along and tells me i'm talking out of my ass and is all insulting
then i cannot help but beat them back into their place
no it's not for a very simple reason
Video ram is not part of the processor address space (except for small regions addressable via memory mapped I/O - and then it's not truly part of the address space)
If you want to continue arguing this t…
i'm fairly sure that x86 supports MMIO banking as well - so those regions are only removed from the main memory pool "as needed" and then restored when done.
I'm sorry i don't mean this to be insulting: you don't understand the material we're discussing.
I am most clearly not saying the opposite of what that is saying, because it doesn't say what you think it says. It just says the main-ram side o…
it will run
like shit
but it will run
that video card you have there ... to call it a "3d accelerator" would be to give it a lightyear of rope
the "Go" edition Geforces are little more than 2d accelerators that can do minimal…

4fps
that's a business card - not a gaming card it shouldn't EVER be used to run games (yes WoW will run on it because WoW was written to work on 9 year old hardware)
get another gig of ram and get a radeon hd 4850 and you should be gravy

your system should be able to run the game great - you will still see some "hitching" (where ti microfreezes) because they aren't done cleaning up the mess that was the resource manager - it's hanging waiting for the resource manager to load stuff. …
