i have a question about this pic i'm posting here.

as many of you may know, voodoo5 has 64MB memory. but when i open directx setup, it says "30.5 MB". i wanna know WHAT THIS SETUP ACTUALLY SHOWS. what does this "30.5 MB" mean?? only half of the 64MB are available or what? :(

thanks in advance! :cool: :cool: :mrpimp:

Don't trust on that sill DXDIAG..............

If U want, u might wanna check it by going to ur System Information by left clicking ur My Computer.........

my card has 16 mb ram and dxdiag says it has only 15, so there must be a bug with that direct x tool:o

I very much doubt it . . . I think its just something we have to accept . . . those numbers could mean something different . . ? :confused:
