How to Set Video RAM for Eeepc 900A

All Asus EEE PCs use the American Megatrends BIOS program, which controls the Video RAM (Random Access Memory). However, not every American Megatrands BIOS is the same, such as in the EEE PC 900A. Configuring the Video RAM on an EEE PC 900A allows you to either allocate more of the RAM to graphic and display functions or decrease the amount of RAM used for graphics and video purposes.

Instructions

1. Power on the EEE PC 900A. Press the "F2" key right after you press the power button to access the BIOS.

2. Press the right arrow key to enter the "Advanced" tab. Navigate down to the "Integrated Peripherals" section and press the "Enter" key. You are not able to use the mouse with the BIOS program, you have to use the keyboard.

3. Navigate to "Accelerated Graphics Port" and select "Shared Video RAM." Press "Enter." In the window that appears, type in an amount lower or higher than the current Shared Video RAM setting.

4. Press the "Enter" key once you have entered a value. Press the "F10" key to save the changes you have made, then reboot the system.

Tips & Warnings

• Incorrectly modifying the settings in the BIOS can cause the EEE PC 900A to malfunction.
