Hi All!
I'm going to buy a mother board, one is Biostar TA785GE 128M with ATI Radeon HD 4200 onboard - 128 sideport memory included. I don't want to share my main memory, thus I hope to have almost independent video card, but I've heard that in order to work I must give it some main RAM or computer won't even pass POST...
Is this problem solved? If not, what's the point of having sideport memory and still share main RAM? May I hope that some time later I'll be able to use sideport memory with dirver (any open source or proprietary...) using it correctly, not requiring me to share main RAM?
