Kind of tight on ram (running a home server with the htpc), and having 384mb dedicated to video decoding seems like a lot, I won't play any games (at least until I get some ram)
512MB at least for H264 Level5.1@high. Don't forget xbmc is OpenGL and the renderer uses shaders and, and, and ...
I checked in the BIOS settings and the amount of RAM shared with the video card is "auto".
I use the HTPC also as file server, so "Auto" seems the best option, i.e. use the maximum amount only when needed.
What are the side effects of setting "Auto" in the BIOS settings for the amount of VRAM?
