The app still isn't detecting my card memory correctly and I can no longer correct manually in setings.ini. Can I add the line myself?

This is in the first post of the "tips" thread: /263/9c/86253/1.html#post875958
Have a look at it, there is a LOT of very useful information already posted there, or elsewhere in this forum  _____________________

You can change that setting, but from what I can tell, it doesn't actually do anything anyway.
What we really need is a "SystemMemory" setting so we can override the broken detection mechanism that always returns 0 MB available and forces SL in to memory mizer mode. That or just fix the detection. |

That or just fix the detection. It seems to return 1Mb for me, which makes me thing the error is it should say Gb instead of Mb |

Unfortunately, 1 MB is all SL sees
 It is not just a misprint... And because the GL caching algorithm is based on both Graphic Memory AND System Memory, texture caching is broken... _____________________

No wonder every time I turn around the textures become blurry (again)
But hovering my mouse over things makes them load fully in no time  |

hehehe... I LOVE Linux!
It keeps its own little caches, and get them from there... Makes the second "load" a lot quicker. _____________________
