[Help] Woohoo!

Woohoo!

CX600 + 6670 arrived today - installed it - it restarted for some reason sometimes, fiddled with the cables and now its working

Though i have poor cable management + my case doesn't help.

Buuut - one thing ive noticed is - hypermemory takes up my ram? On task manager, before i had 2gb, now i have 800mb o.o
and i remember, back then - 1 gb = me raging. so how do i disable it, or lower the ram usage.. @Alen

If you got a 6670 HM instead of the ordinary 6670 then yes, you will end up using the (slower) system ram.

Well if it's a HM version it will most likely be called HM or SE or w/e AMD is using nowadays to mark the cards. It most likely appears as a suffix in the card name (HD 6679 HM or something).

The card uses your system's RAM to expand the limited amount of it's own VRAM. Simple as that, there's not much more to it.
