    I believe that 8MB is the minimum ram it uses, if it needs more it will dynamically do so (when you are in a game for example) at least that's true for gma 3100 igp's in desktops... ;)

    I'd like for Acer to enable SATA NCQ in the next BIOS release.

    Quote:

    "The ICH7M I/O Controller supports AHCI NCQ. However Acer has disabled the AHCI function in the BIOS. The HDD is recognized as a normal IDE HDD in Windows with lower performance. A future BIOS patch should be able to turn on AHCI, but it is fully determined by Acer."

    Me too, people who have fast SATA SSD drives can benefit from it
    As of the VRAM or the IGP...it's already allocatable up to 224MB, but having more ram doesn't necessarily means you can run Crisis :)

    That wiki item was wrote by me. You guys better inform this to all aa1 owners and urge them to request Acer to unlock the BIOS setting for AHCI. Hope doing so can let acer change mind. :D
