First My System Info.

Ok Now Comes The Fun Part
So the problem that I am having is this. In the BIOS I can either set my Graphics Card to Auto-128Mb-256Mb-or-512MB Now that is fine by me However Said HyperMemory is more than enough to meat my modest needs, and when I go into Windows, Windows see's that hey you have 256Mb or 512MB etc,.. However that is not enough for Windows NOPE damn Microsoft have to force the Issue making it so that Windows then STEALS Another 1.9Gb of my RAM for Shared Video Memory. .....Deep Breath...... What I want to know is this Since windows sees the HyperMemory as Dedicated Video RAM is there Some way that I can FORCE Windows to Not be allowed to Steal even more RAM for Shared Memory I would like to have my system set up so that the Only Video Memory will be the HyperMemory that I have told the BIOS to Allocate to my Video Card. And Is what I want to do even remotely possible????
Any Help In This Matter Will Be Greatly Appreciated
Thank You In Advance!!
