Can any one tell me how much graphics do i get with intel SB CPUs i.e HD2000 and HD3000.
In my older Compaq Desktop it was clearly mentioned that it had 64MB of Graphics, so how much graphics do i get with a i5-2400 CPU.:smile:

It shares the memory from the RAM. You can set it to 128MB, 256MB or 512MB anything you want.

err. nope.

I don't think you'll see any performance difference between 512MB and 256MB shared graphics memory. Why? Intel HD 2000 isn't fast enough to utilize 512MB VRAM properly.

Just like you see negligible difference between HD 5670 512MB and 1GB variants.

another example? nVidia 7300 GS 256MB vs 7300 GS 2GB. lol.
