Because they can cheat more customer to buy it. On board graphic card memory contain 128MB only, the rest is shared memory using your RAM. Here a description which make you see it clearly. Look at the footnote 3. its not exactly cheap does it? i mean 300rm + for it? aiseh, sure need put highest setting to attract customer lar @steventan85 haha who d heck read that stuff wor

Senior Member 2,353 posts Joined: Dec 2006	QUOTE(victorboy @ Apr 22 2007, 06:23 PM) is this recovery system like, when you press one of the key it will go back to manufacturer setup? well as steventan said , no way to go back original manufacture setting, but what i mean is, if u reinstall windows u could still have your original driver back.. but heck, who cares about the orignal settings right? ----- anyway, dell hell tried to con potential buyers into partitioning service which cost rm40 for something u could do it urself and waste our 10gb space of junk

Found my email about the pc restore from them » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « a) If you perform a format of the computer using the Windows CD, it will erase Pc Restore b) If you perform a Pc Restore, you will still have the Pc Restore partition and can be used again in future repeatedly as long as the partition is not damaged/corrupted c) You will not be able to partition the hard disk then perform the PC Restore as the Pc restore file will be damaged that way d) There is no way to backup the Pc Restore files and installing them back later for usage. e) In brief, if you prefer to have 2 partitions, you will have to sacrifice the Pc Restore utility. crappy thing then, i often format my comp whenever it feels laggy wor, means pc restore will not work anymore? bah
