Hi,

I was showing our latest product at and noticed the game suddenly crash and bring the explorer a little bit in disarray (had trouble finding MyDocuments). After a quick glance at his computer (XP, 512Mb dx8.1a), I noticed he had a 32Mb Matrox 550(??) installed. The game was alway tested on the target systems which are equipped with GeForxe440MX 64Mb cards.

My question is can an "overflow" of vidram destabilize the computer?

Thanks in advance
