You do want to limit the vcache to no more than a max size of 512mb, but that is not a big deal. And as for graphics card memory... Here again, there is nothing inherent in ME that says graphics cards with more than 64mb of ram won't work or produce benefits.
Hey, thanks for the come back. I'm not a systems hacker and will not disagree with you on specific issues. But the Microsoft Support Techs and those fine folks at Dell Support will. Their almost adamant insistance to me was not to go beyond 512 MB Ram, graphics cards (I have an ATI Radeon 9500 EX64) over 64MB onboard memory, and Hard Drives over 80GB in size. Why? ; don't know. But I have a bunch of printed out communications from them with specific settings details to prove it.
