How do I allocate more or less memory to the video card?

PREMIO Computer, Inc. -- PREMIO CS1L (6178) FAQ / BIOS / Dri...
The allocation of system and video memory is dynamic. If the system requires more video memory to run at a higher resolution, it will automatically grab it from the system memory.

What is video card memory, and how much video memory do I need?

Video Cards FAQs
Consider whether you're likely to need a memory upgrade within the board's lifetime. Some boards come with 4MB but cannot be upgraded. Most, however, will let you upgrade to at least 8MB, and some stretch that limit to even 64MB. With 3D graphics, more is usually better. For example, at a resolution of 800 x 600, two buffers (the minimum needed for double-buffering 3D graphics) take up nearly 2MB. Add a z-buffer (for accuracy in placing objects behind one another), and that creeps up to 2.7MB.

How do I insert the memory card into the camera?

EVOLT E-500 > Frequently Asked Questions
Insert the card into the card slot as shown. (The EVOLT E-500 supports xD-Picture Card media as well as CompactFlash? media.) Push the card gently straight in until it clicks.

My repository keeps giving errors saying "Cannot allocate memory". What should I do?

subversion: Subversion FAQ
If you're using http:// access, "Cannot allocate memory" errors show up in the httpd error log and look something like this: [Wed Apr 07 04:26:10 2004] [error] [client 212.151.130.227] (20014) Error string not specified yet: Berkeley DB error while opening 'strings' table for filesystem /usr/local/svn/repositories/svn/db: Cannot allocate memory [Wed Apr 07 04:26:10 2004] [error] [client 212.151.130.227] Could not fetch resource information.

How much memory does a pointer variable allocate?

Memory Allocation
That's a pretty misleading question. When you declare a pointer variable, as in char *p; you (or, more properly, the compiler) have allocated only enough memory to hold the pointer itself; that is, in this case you have allocated sizeof(char *) bytes of memory. But you have not yet allocated any memory for the pointer to point to. See also questions 7.1 and 7.2. You have only allocated memory for one line, linebuf. Each time you call fgets, the previous line is overwritten.

C.13] How much memory should I allocate in transposition table?

Winboard and Chess engines : Section C - Opening book and en...
C.1] What is a opening book? Just as human players memorise opening moves, Chess programs have opening books which is a database of stored moves and positions. This allows the Chess program to move instantly when a move is available in the book. Needless to say, this is a very great advantage that allows the program to save time on thinking. On the other hand, poor Opening books can blindly lead the program to poor positions that results in a quick loss.

C.13] How much memory should I allocate in transposition tables?

Winboard and Chess engines : Section C - Opening book and en...
Allocating more memory to Transposition tables tends to improve quality of play. At longer time controls and with a faster processor, the hash table fills up quickly and it helps to have a bigger transposition table so that entries can be retained without being substituted out. This help speeds up search of course, as you don't have to waste time searching moves that are already stored in the transposition table.

How do I allocate memory dynamically?

Linux Assembly HOWTO
ebx := 0 (in fact, any value below .bss seems to do) sys_brk eax := current top (of .bss section) ebx := [ current top < ebx < (esp - 16K) ] sys_brk eax := new top of .bss section .bss var1 resb 1 section .

Is there a way to force new to allocate memory from a specific memory area?

Destructors, C++ FAQ Lite
Yes. The good news is that these "memory pools" are useful in a number of situations. The bad news is that I'll have to drag you through the mire of how it works before we discuss all the uses. But if you don't know about memory pools, it might be worthwhile to slog through this FAQ — you might learn something useful! First of all, recall that a memory allocator is simply supposed to return uninitialized bits of memory; it is not supposed to produce "objects.

Will it work with my video card?

Starship Titanic Frequently Asked Questions - now with XP su...
ST has been tested with a wide range of graphics cards, and has only failed to run on the following card(s): Hercules Stingray 128/3D This information is subject to change pending subsequent release of new drivers. Note that there was a problem with some video cards causing ST to quit back to the desktop almost immediately, sometimes displaying a warning dialog about DirectX - see patches for details.

How can I hook more than one monitor to my video card ?

ePanorama.net - Circuits
The best way to do this is to purchase a commercial VGA signal splitter or video distribution amplifier. These are not cheap, but they will provide the best results. A video splitter designed for VGA or SVGA will include the proper high bandwidth video amplifiers as well as the proper cable termination and shielding. With this kind of adapter you are able to have the spae picture on two or more monitors.

How do I insert a memory card into the EVOLT E-510?

EVOLT E-510 > Frequently Asked Questions
Orient the card as shown below. For CompactFlash? media, hold the memory card so that the contact area is on the card's left, pointing into the card slot, and the CF Mark is in the upper left corner of the card. For xD-Picture Card? media, hold the memory card so that the gold contact area is facing the back of the camera and the notch is facing down.

What is a memory card?

UpToDate: What is UpToDate
A memory card is an external card that can be inserted into your PDA. Information is stored on this device, which when inserted into the PDA allows for additional memory.

Why do we use palloc() and pfree() to allocate memory?

PostgreSQL: Developer's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for...
palloc() and pfree() are used in place of malloc() and free() because we find it easier to automatically free all memory allocated when a query completes. This assures us that all memory that was allocated gets freed even if we have lost track of where we allocated it. There are special non-query contexts that memory can be allocated in. These affect when the allocated memory is freed by the backend.

Q6. Why is FRAGSTATS unable to allocate sufficient memory?

Fragstats Frequently Asked Questions
FRAGSTATS is a compute-intensive program; its performance is dependent on both processor speed and computer memory (RAM). Ultimately, the ability to process an image is dependent on the availability of sufficient memory; the speed of processing that image is dependent on processor speed. Of particular note is the memory constraint. FRAGSTATS loads the input grid into memory and then computes all requested calculations.

The software says "Cannot allocate memory for the temporary buffer." What can I do?

DVD Audio Ripper FAQ - rip dvd audio to mp3 or wav
Please open the Settings menu - Input Settings window. There's an input box after "Save your DVD drive". Did you change the number? The default is 10MB. If you changed to a large number which exceeded your RAM, the error would appear. If you didn't change any settings, please increase your virtual memory to have a try. Right-click "My computer" and select "Properties". In "Advanced" panel, click "Settings" button of "Performance" area.
