i just have some questions for the gfx cards experts.

PLEASE TELL ME IS THERE ANY WAY TO FIND OUT IF YOUR CARD IS TURBO CACHE OR NOT USING THE SYSTEM MEMORY OR NOT.FROM THE SYSTEM ITSELF.

i have windows xp.

well in my cards box turbo cache technology sticker is pasted.

btw here are the two sites showing exactly the same model which i have and just see their specifications.

what do they mean by turbo cache supporting upto 512mb.

and i did two tests.

1.right click my computers>>properties

it showed the exact amount of ram which i have.1.50gb no deduction in that amount.(as the onboard gma shares 8 mb and shows 504 mb instead of 512mb if you have 512mb ram)

2.i also checked the card memory at advanced display properties>>adapter
there also memory size 512mb was mentioned.

now my question.

1.if it is not sharing any memory then why turbocache sticker is pasted.

2.if it is turbo cache then how it shows 512mb memory without sharing system memory.i mean it's actual memory should have memory less than 512mb.

please help.i dont want this turbo cache enabled.
