That's right, Dotan. What I was figuring was that with 1 gig of memory
(not a meg .... my bad!) shared with a video chipset onboard, you'd have
to allocate at least 256 MB to it. So, you're short that much memory for
the system. Myself, since I don't use laptops, have always been shy of
sharing ram. I think Compiz is nifty and cool, but I don't use it
myself. <grins> Ric
